Top 10 TV Neighbors


didn’t mean to wake they’re there when
you need them even if you wish they
weren’t welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 TV neighbors for this list
we’re looking at those TV neighbors who
stood out for their quirkiness their
sage advice or simply because they were
always there penny penny penny it’s hard
to imagine getting that close to the
people who live adjacent to you but in
TV it’s almost strange if you don’t know
your neighbors on a personal level who
made a spatula out of toothpicks in wood
shop I did
lose-lose
there’s a big yellow tube with hole
Hey number 10 Glenn quagmire family guy
hey who wants to play drink the beer
right here you win all right what do I
win another beer it’s pretty cool that
Peters best friends all live near him
and quagmire is no exception
hey it’s the Griffins what can I do for
you
but having quagmire as your friend and
neighbor means you might be subjected to
some of his more interesting habits take
it again dig dig diggity dig it again
like going through your trash in search
of your wife’s toenail clippings yeah a
couple of teeth and some toenail
clippings and we’ll be ready for our
date knowing you’re living next to a
sexual deviant means not being surprised
when he comes to the door in a bib and
bonnet quagmire you gotta help us we
pissed off a bunch of ghosts and our
house is gone and we got no place to
stay uh Peter this is not the best time
number nine Edie
and Trixie Norton the honeymooners
they’re not just the upstairs neighbors
they’re the best friends of the show’s
main characters that might work right
little boy lovable but simple Edie and
pushy Trixie are a couple that runs
somewhat counter to Ralph’s bluster and
Alice’s even temper being locked up with
Trixie for three days more like affair
the dynamic between the two couples and
the friendships developed between them
is a part of what made this short-lived
show so iconic I forgive it ow
shakedown okay hey go ahead and get
ready we’ll spend the night down here
okay well thanks bath yes we kid to
number eight penny
The Big Bang Theory when you understand
the laws of physics penny anything is
possible
it may have been initially easy to
dismiss Penny’s character as another
ditzy blonde waitress how about a
molecular sieve oh I’ve got a spaghetti
strainer in the kitchen but she’s a
great testament to the fact that
technical knowledge isn’t all there is
to life thank you so much for your
stupid advice she might not be as well
educated as her Brainiac neighbors but
she’s socially adept and provides them
with much-needed balance oh honey the
buses don’t go where you live do they it
also doesn’t hurt that she ends up
dating Leonard since we all know that
dating a neighbor is always a smart move
do they have a name for a first date
with someone who used to go out with oh
it’s a good question how about awkward
number seven Rhoda Morgenstern The Mary
Tyler Moore Show areare you sure this
looks okay I feel so fat yeah it looks
fine witty sarcastic and
self-deprecating she’s the gal pal most
single ladies and single fellas wish
they could have around Mary I thought
you knew your party server is active as
Mary’s upstairs neighbor
she’s never too far away for some girl
time I don’t Mary if your operation goes
well I’m thinking of having 11 pounds of
fat removed surgically that is until she
falls in love and moves away to New York
but even then Rhoda was such a good
friend to Mary she actually got her own
spin-off allow me to introduce myself
I’m another person in the room
I’m walking sir Oh how would I know how
do you do and this is my date mr. mrs.
almond number six mr. George Feeny Boy
Meets World I know you got a principal
living next door it’s not something we
brag about we can’t think of anyone
who’d want to live next to their teacher
unless of course you’re spying on their
movements or trying to swipe some test
scores or something
good morning mr. Turner obviously I was
wrong and your students were so prepared
that they managed to finish the test two
minutes after the bell has rung however
things are different when it comes to
teacher turns principal turned college
professor mr. Feeny I’m gonna try to put
this as kindly as possible the show has
turned into a circus while some of us
may have grown up with teachers who
played important roles in our lives
ooh ramifications nice word Jughead it’s
still difficult to imagine living next
door to them it’s like breaking the
fourth wall or something ah mr. Matthews
the eyes of Philadelphia are upon you
tonight
number five Barney Rubble the
Flintstones Barney hiya Fred neighbor
Pal what are you supposed to be doing
besides annoying me on my day off
simple affable and easygoing Barney was
the perfect foil to Fred’s boisterous
personality I’m ready Freddy he’ll be
right with you make it snappy I want to
miss my coffee break he was also a
pretty reliable neighbor and a bud Fred
could always go bowling with keep your
eye on the ball Barney boy
hmm it’s a plus when your best friend
lives next door but it’s a plus one when
your wives become best friends as well
let’s face it Wilma
we need new hairstyles let’s go beauty
parlor the relationship between the
Flintstones and the neighboring rubbles
is one that has become iconic in pop
culture and has stood the test of time
let’s not divide make up Wilma in a big
way number four Steve Urkel
family matters hey buster keep alert
inand you’ll be hurt Yeah right
it’s odd how often he invited himself
over to the Winslow house you’d think
with big guy Carl Winslow being a police
officer and all it’d have a more secure
house but clearly this was one nerdy
neighbor that could not be stopped he’s
a pest but he’s also a lovable nerd
who’s hopelessly in love with Laura
Winslow
now sweat my pet ultimately her goal is
but grudgingly embraced as a recurring
presence in the Winslow household for
whatever reason in spite of his
klutziness have you ever gone a single
day in your entire life without
destroying something huh that same that
won’t count it must be those glasses I
never thought I’d be so glad to hear
such an annoying sound well that’s not
very nice oh but I forget you number
three
Wilson Wilson jr. home improvement hey
Wilson
high ten I’m gonna rewire that
dishwasher do you still that compressor
for sale
Yona no traded that for a set of snow
tires accordian he was an excellent
neighbor replete with worldly wisdom and
the kind of advice you can only give
after traveling the globe I need to
spend more time around the campfire with
her elders like in ancient days seeking
wisdom telling stories sharing and
interestingly enough we only ever get to
see half of his face the Taylor family
and Tim in particular could pretty much
always count on Wilson to provide them
with sound guidance from behind a
privacy fence as the English author
Samuel Johnson said our brightest blazes
of gladness are commonly kindled by
unexpected sparks well if anyone knows
about unexpected sparks would be me he
kept his distance but always came
through in the clutch that’s pretty much
the ideal neighbor if we do say so
ourselves Wilson are you naked no Tim
I’m wearing a hat number two
Ned Flanders The Simpsons you’re the
devil it’s always the one you least
suspect he’s a mild-mannered religious
zealot who is constantly put upon by the
Simpson family not that he Minds your
prayers Simpson because the schools
can’t force you like they should that
isn’t to say he doesn’t have his own
problems what with his wife’s unexpected
death his extremely sheltered children
and his obsessive religious posturing
although initially disliked by Homer for
a straight-edged personality and
happy-go-lucky demeanor once a man is in
your home anything you do to him is nice
and legal is that so
Oh Flanders won’t you join me in my
kitchen
mr. Simpson eventually warms up to
Flanders with their relationship
evolving over time ha ha and then nice
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions goodnight
munchkin man mr. Vincey ah T are you
praying mr. Wilson where’s Dennis can’t
you give me your Ma’s downstairs since
you were supposed to be home a half hour
ago
Oh that’s the third time today she’s
gonna kill me don’t panic just let your
watch back half hour I love the way your
mind works
number one Cosmo Kramer Seinfeld it
really likes you George you could pretty
much count on him for a couple of things
busting through Jerry’s front door and
not having a verifiable source of income
you know I almost wound up going to that
king yeah he almost went to the game you
haven’t been out of the building in 10
years although he’s definitely prone to
scheming but somehow none of that
stopped him from being one of Jerry’s
closest friends hey Jerry I’m going to
wall this book it might be because
living across the hall gave him constant
access to Jerry’s life but one has to
wonder why no one locked their doors I’m
