I was thinking last night about some of my favorite sidekicks. A few came to mind and i thought it would be fun to see which you think is the best.
Al Borland played by Richard Karn: Tim allens flannel wearing sidekick on Tool Time, always quick with a sarcastic comeback.

Jon Baker: Frank Poncherello's Blonde, dutch boy haircut wearing partner from CHiP's. Always the voice of reason. My favorite scene is when CHP Beariksa "Bear" says to him "You should start the JON FOUNDATION for destitute Bakers" HAHAHAAHAHA..Classic.

Mutley: Dick Dastardleys, dastardley dog who snikered at Dicks Downfalls. Dick's failures were Mutleys joys. a monkey wrench to dicks head would send Mutley into Histericks. They were in the Wackey Races and Stop That Pigeon as well as a few cameos on Yogi's Ark!

Clarabell the Clown: Buffallo Bobs Silent Partner in Crime, I dont really remember the Howdy Doody Show but remember when Richie on "Happy Days" got a snapshot with Clarabell with his pants down!! Classic and Clowns scare me...

Daryl & Daryl: I guess silence is golden as these two never said a word either until the Classic last episode of Newhart. Always funny as was their verbose and articulate brother Larry.
