to live or die an assistant secretary
his sister who knows she’s referenced in
almost every episode but not only has
she not been seen she hasn’t even been
described or identified the trail
narrows Diane I’m very close but a last
few steps are always the darkest and
most difficult some theorize that the
mysterious Diane is a figment of his
imagination a coping mechanism he
developed to deal with his girlfriend’s
murder great deal of pain and a fair
amount of blood whoever Diane is she
bears Dale’s burdens this is me Dale
room 315 at the Great Northern Hotel
signing off number 8 george steinbrenner
seinfeld why don’t I see me mr.
Steinberg yes George please come in come

unseen friend Bob sack amano well Bob
sack oh man oh he stayed with me once
for a year and a half or Jerry’s cousin
Jeffrey so and out of the parks
Commissioner is recommending Jeffrey for
a citation but we can’t help but place
george costanza ‘he’s one time boss New
York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner
in this spot
hiya this man the late real-life owner
of the New York Yankees was parodied and
voiced by series co-creator Larry David
after the actual men refused a cameo
appearance on the show so what are you
saying
as a chatty animated fiery and feared
sports franchise owner he doesn’t need
more than the back of his head to show
us the strength of his character all
right let’s see what do I have tonight
oh darn it it’s ham and cheese again and
cheap I got the fancy mustard I told her
I liked that fancy mustard you know you
can put that fancy mustard on the
shooter but tastes pretty good to me
number seven all adults the peanuts
franchise miss Othmar I volunteered me
first
well I’m not long Charlie Brown and
Friends seem to live in a world without
supervision
because the adults in the peanuts
universe were seen and neither the TV
specials nor the comic strips on which
they were based what mean it technically
they weren’t heard either as their
voices were nothing more than the sounds
of a muted trombone I’m not getting any
distance well wha well that yeah turns
out series creator Charles Schulz just
had no interest in grownups yes ma’am
you want me to impound the erasers yes
miss Othmar I’d be glad to
they’re borderline absence meant the
series stayed focused on the kids
outlook much like the Muppet Babies legs
only nanny did for that show years later
oh that’s so sweet of you I’d never
leave you with someone you don’t want to
be with number six
Wilson W Wilson jr. Home Improvement
well I hope neighbor as a running gag on
this sitcom Wilson the Taylor family
sage advice dispensing neighbor who
seems to know just about everything as
the English author Samuel Johnson said
our brightest blazes of gladness are
commonly kindled by unexpected sparks
would always have his face obscured by
prompts I’m confused
more often than not however he’d be
hidden below the nose by they’re
dividing wooden yard fence brought to a
halt by Gestalt believe it or not this
was actually a tough role to cast the
first actor who took the part turned it
down when he found out his face would
never be shown Wilson are you naked
no Jim I’m wearing a hat but he missed
out on the chance to be one of TV’s
favorite neighbors mm-hmm number five
ugly naked guy friends it’s so
unfortunate what cute naked guys really
starting to put on weight well we know
about ugly naked guy
let’s see now he had the trampoline he
broke that well he had gravity boots
yeah he broke those too he lives across
from Monica and Rachel’s apartment now
he’s showing us his pokin device he
plays the cello yeah well just be glad
it’s not playing a smaller instrument
sleeps in a hammock ugly naked guys
using his new hammock it’s like a
play-doh fat Factory and once killed his
cat by sitting on it because he’s
morbidly obese the poor cat never saw
that big but coming
which is exactly the kind of guy you
want strutting around his apartment
naked in full view the friends gang even
tried to poke him from across the street
once when his nap looked a little too
deep at the needle thread the needle but
ugly naked guy represents that big city
exhibitionist we’ve all encountered and
he’s just another relatable part of this
show would you like another mini muffin
Oh try the blueberry they’re delicious
number 4 Charlie Townsend Charlie’s
Angels morning angels
good morning charlie there’s not much to
say about this unseen character why does
it always have to be on the phone why
can’t we ever see Charlie besides the
fact that he’s a lady loving millionaire
who provides his crime-fighting angels
with assistance and instructions through
a speakerphone now this will be your
scene of operations the Samara vineyards
in the Valley of the Moon but the
mystery is somewhat warranted I can’t
tell you how many hours I’ve spent lying
in bed trying to put a face and a body
on that voice after all the Angels work
for a top-secret private investigation
agency so the boss man is probably a
target for international criminals or
something and where will you be charlie
where I always am with my nose to the
grindstone the waters run deep in this
case angels and I’m up to my hips right
now boy
by John Forsythe if ever Charlie was
seen he’d have a girl or two on his arm
here you are Charlie bless you my dear
number three mrs. Debbie Wolowitz The
Big Bang Theory that’s the phone
no it’s the phone mahir the phone though
she’s often hurt and her personality is
larger than life I just done the carpet
stains Howard’s mother remains hidden
from audiences what do you want for
breakfast chocolate milk and Eggos
please characterized as an overweight
mustachioed Jewish stereotype don’t mind
me
I just climb when I’m lonely and have
nothing to live for
her voice is that of a character too
loud and obnoxious to bear screen time I
think it shrunk I’m spilling out like
the Pillsbury Doughboy mrs. Wolowitz his
physical identity is such a mysterious
part of the series wait for my way
watches fading that the studio audience
actually gasped aloud when they caught a
glimpse of her figure from the neck down
in a season six episode where you going
number two Vera Peterson Cheers
why not I mean we never even met Farrah
norm Peterson is a man who knows
everyone and everyone knows him where’s
Pierre she’s gonna put on a little more
makeup that first coat didn’t really
take so it’s ironic that his wife is a
woman whose face we never see never
thought one would be like to be with
that beard for 20 years
oh my god you see you’d miss Vera I
thought you said beer but just because
she’s unseen doesn’t mean she’s
unmentioned oh yeah yes yes I know it’s
late because you were being held hostage
by a mad gunman yeah what do you mean
I’ve used that one before we endured
over a decade of jokes at Vera’s expense
and norm often characterized her as an
annoying battle-ax of a woman eight
years I’ve been going to that old bat’s
house I think Bureau owes me one all
right however even though he was fairly
mean to her behind her back
norm was devoted to Vera who when she
was portrayed on the show was depicted
by norm actor George Wentz own real-life
wife this is great we finally get to
meet Farrah damn think fast
this is Mira before we reveal the
identity of our top pick here are some
honorable mentions
hey the one of you no salesman by the
name of failed brass key I know Bill
Brasky that’s damn salesman in the
business I’m on account of the Gooch the
couch is that bully picking on you again
I thought it was your friend now well he
has a funny way of making friends he
punches you until you like him
you know I’ve never tried one of these
my wife that’s mrs. Columbo she tried to
get me interested number one
Maris crane freezers and who should I
run into but Maris for an unvoiced on
cast unseen character
Niles cranes wife sure gets a lot of
airtime and plotlines this offends him
so he starts pulling up Maris’s prized
camellias by the handful as described by
the characters we do see she’s spoiled
rich neurotic anorexic and cold-hearted
at her wedding
well Maris was reciting her vows which
she wrote herself vows of love from the
heart I distinctly heard snickering a
rocky relationship with Niles Severus
cheating she’s gotten involved with some
Argentine polo player turns out he’s a
gold digger with a violent temper to
boot a two-year separation and a divorce
I thought you liked my Maris I do I like
her from a distance
she’s even tried for the murder of her
new boyfriend sources say alleged
murderer Maris crane killed her
polo-playing lover Esteban de Rojo with
an antique crossbow which she escapes to
a private island retreat well of course
you’re alone you’re alone because you
killed your boyfriend but what secures
her number one spot on this list is how
well her character is fleshed out by the
descriptions and reactions of the Frazer
cast oh I have no reason to be unhappy
I have my health I have a wonderful home
beautiful wife did your eyebrow just
