wiffleball 4,639 Posted July 20, 2021 I find myself becoming more and more like Red Foreman everyday. Pretty much everything I say is followed by a mumbled *dumbass!" Just makes me feel better. Here are a few of the top contenders. And no, animated characters are not allowed. Archie Bunker. Fred Sanford George Jefferson Red Foreman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,992 Posted July 21, 2021 As others have said, Archie Bunker is in league of his own - not even a contest. Not mentioned Mt. Rushmore candidates: Mr. Woodman - Welcome Back Kotter Ralph Kramden - Honeymooners Walt Kowalski - Gran Torino Ebenezer Scrooge - Christmas Carol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 12,631 Posted July 21, 2021 Charles Grodin Walter Matthau in everything. Andy Rooney 60 minutes. The king of them all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 12,631 Posted July 22, 2021 Al Bundy was too young for curmudgeon status. And to be a truly great one they should have been in the big one. I stand by Andy Rooney as the king. I’ll throw Ditka in there as well, for his TV work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimmySmith 2,782 Posted July 22, 2021 I don't like the star being the curmudgeon. Much better when it's a beloved or behated character. Lou Grant Mr. Roper Mr. Wilson (#1) Captain Binghamton (a great one). Darrin Stephens (#2) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
