It is indisputable that the two greatest characters ever on tv are Archie Bunker and George Costanza. There is nobody close enough to them to even make a Top 5.
But I would like to give credit to an overlooked, underrated character - Tony Shalhoub’s Antonio Scarpacci from
Wings. I won’t say
Wings was a great show; it was a nice, comfortable sitcom that served to mildly entertain, not turn comedy upside down on it’s head. But Shalhoub’s lovable, unlucky loser Antonio was the rare sitcom character in that he was actually capable of making you laugh out loud. Viva Antonio!
