TV's best unseen characters...

And my mind went blank. Weird too cuz that is my favorite show...

:)

Diane: Niles, do you remember the last time I was in town and we dined together? You had just started dating this woman, she was the queerest little creature. She ate everyone's sorbet, and then she had to lie down in the ladies' lounge while the coat-check girl massaged her abdomen!

Niles: I've never seen her look so seductive. She wore a clingy gown, crimson lipstick, even earrings, which she tends to avoid as they make her head droop.

Niles: Well, we're both animal lovers, but Maris is unable to have pets. She distrusts anything that loves her unconditionally.

Niles: She's pushed me around long enough. Metaphorically of course. In reality she can hardly push at all. Like that terrible afternoon last spring she spent trapped in the revolving doors at Bergdorf's!

Martin: She hasn't taken up horse back riding, has she?
Niles: No, no, she wanted to but unfortunately her little quadriceps are so tight she's incapable of straddling anything larger than a border collie.

Niles: What's the point of going to Switzerland without spending a day on the slopes? So, I ducked out of the conference, and who should I run into but Maris? She'd just flown in for her yearly goat-placenta treatments.

Frasier: What else would you expect from a woman who thinks her chocolate allergy entitles her to park in a handicapped space?

Frasier: I just can't picture Maris in Dad's '82 Impala.
Niles: Neither could she, at first. I'll never forget the look of wonder on her face at touching vinyl for the first time. She said it made her feel cheap and dirty, and she liked it. I was her first bad boy.

Frasier: How did (the Zen garden) turn out?
Niles: Oh, it's beautiful, it's the perfect place for meditation. Yesterday, I found Maris smack-dab in the middle sitting in the lotus position.
Frasier: Well, good for her. Apparently it's bringing out her spiritual side.
Niles: I'm not sure, she was reading a Danielle Steele novel and making a nail appointment on her cellular phone.

I loved Frasier.

from Twin Peaks. :D

She seemed sort of in the same mold as Vera.

:thumbsup:

What a great show! A classic!

I remember one scene being in a restaurant...

So strike that one from the list.

The unseen benefactor on "The Millionaire."

Charlie Brown's teacher?

Played by the Captain Janeway actress.

Apparently he even wanted to have Columbo say in one episode "there's a woman running around pretending to be my wife."

Interestingly in the very early days Falk always presumed that there was no Mrs Columbo and that the character used the 'wife idea' as a detective device. Obviously in later episodes (especially the cruise one with Robert Vaughn, where Columbo spends much of the episode attempting to find his wife onboard) it becomes clear that he is married.

Falk has spoken though. The matter is settled. We NEVER did see Mrs Columbo.

Anyone with younger kids should get this one immediately, but for the rest of you...he's London Tiptons Dad on the Disney Channel's Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Suite Life on Deck.

He's never been seen (except in shadows and profile, and as a mumbling voice on the phone), but he's the guy who "owns everything" and responds instantly to his daughters "Daddy, I need..." phonecalls. He's the enabler of an incredibly spoiled brat, and the entire relationship is a parody of Conrad Hilton and his granddaughter Paris Hilton (who actually spent a lot of her childhood living in New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel). I've always been amazed that the blatantly mocking Disney shows have never generated any feedback from the Hiltons.

Complaining would only make it more public. :)

The spouses of BJ, Colonels Potter and Blake, and Hawkeye's father, for instance. They were always present in letters or on one sided phone conversations.

I can't remember if Margaret's husband was ever seen, either, although he was the key to several episodes.

:rofl:

The funniest episode ever, Frank's movies of his wedding.

He was invisible.

On Carnivale

Dr. Kahn, the Camp Director, from "Salute your Shorts" on Nickelodeon.
You only ever heard his voice over the loudspeakers.

The voice was done by Steve Slavkin, who wrote the book the show was based on.

Would make a great substitute door bell sound!

from Bullwinkle.

watched a tape of sketches from Hugh Laurie (House) and Stephen Fry when they were a comedy duo in England. Marjorie "shows up" often and is whatever characteristics they want for the sketch. Just the mention of her name gets to be funny.

from Dad's Army. She was one of the great unseen characters in British television history.

from Keeping Up Appearances"
