I should preface my picks by saying I like my sitcoms like I like my rock- classic.  I’m probably missing someone obvious, but that said, in descending order:

Archie Bunker

Lucy Ricardo

Maxwell Smart

Michael Scott

Fred Sanford 

and the GOAT...

 

Spoiler

Barney Fife

Archie is an interesting choice for a “favorite.”  Easily the most complex and flawed, but people watched him evolve on their screen and rooted for him to become a better man.  Very reflective of the time the show ran.

Pierce Hawthorne

Mork from Ork, funny as hell

George Jefferson, tried to be a hardass, but was a softy inside.

Maxwell Klinger/ Radar O'Reilly( equally endearing)

Alex P Keaton, because his hippie parents deserved it.

Arnold Jackson, because hey, he was adopted too.  LOlz.

Not the GOAT, but David Puddy from Seinfeld only appeared in 11 episodes and killed it every time. Seemed like he was in more. May be the greatest per minute of screen time.

Some other greats:

Sue Ann Nivens (Betty White) and Ted Baxter (Ted Knight) —MTM show

Hal Wilkerson (the great Bryan Cranston) from Malcolm in the Middle

Dan Fielding (John Laroquette) — Night Court

And Jerry Stiller as Frank Costanza or Arthur Spooner

Good one, but Howard Borden was better. 

Oh god no. He was a dork. I loved that character when I was a kid but now he's just dumb. Newhart carried that show but if you want to pick a secondary character then go with Elliot Carlin.

A surprising modern pick thrown in amongst the old classics.  Well done, sir.

Rowan Atkinson and his Black Adder series is my favorite from the 80's-90's on.

 Archie is such a piece  of work he's my 70' guy, and it's Andy and Barney from my childhood.

 

Strong lists above though
