I hinted at this in another post.

In your opinion, who are the FIVE greatest TV characters in TV history? Characters, NOT actors.

Here's mine:

1.Thurston Howell(Gilligan's Island)

2.Milburn Drysdale(Beverly Hillbillies)

3.Dr. Richard Kimble(The Fugitive)

4.Sgt. Ernie Bilko(You'll never Get Rich/The Phil Silvers Show)

5.Col. Hannibal Smith(The A-Team)

Believe me, it was really hard narrowing it down to just five. I coul've reeled off 50. But five'll have to do.
