4merper4mer Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) What character always made you laugh but wasn't the feature character in their show? I'll start with Clark from The Office. I don't know why really but I found everything he did funny. "Women peak sexually at whatever age Jan was last week" was probably his best line.

Bill from NYC Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 5 hours ago, dhg said: Inspector Luger on Barney Miller How about Lt. Scanlon from Barney Miller? There were guys in IAD who were just as petty. I'm talking about cops getting busted for getting 2 scoops on an ice cream cone and only being charged for one. One douche was in Nathans and ran up to the register to see if I paid full price (which I did). Scanlon was hilarious, and you could see how mad at him the detectives would get. I'm telling you that show was more realistic than most would think. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
