If you could have dinner with any television character who would you pick?

1. Dorothy Zbornak

2. Pearl Shay

3. Aunt Esther

The Cosmos Cotillion with Serena

Elliott Stabler because I usually put out after dinner.

Gladys Kravitz (the first one).

Mrs Madrigal - she’d be serving in two shakes of a lamb’s tail!

I would just take a sack lunch to the WJM newsroom and watch the magic unfold.

Diane Chambers

Nancy Walker

Pepe LePew

Erica Kane.

I would say the Facts of Life girls, but I would not get anything to eat for myself.

Brian Kinney, when we were both 27.

Maryanne Thorpe (Christine Baranski on Cybill)

Pearl Shay

Rhoda Morgenstern

Colin from Highway Through Hell

Hannibal Lecter, bound to be interesting and an excellent meal.

Carlos Ramirez, the handsome latin playboy played by handsome latin Alejandro Rey.

Rafael Barba

I'd like to have tea with The Dowager Countess of Grantham just to see if I can hold my own.

Gilligan.

John Beresford Tipton

[quote]Hannibal Lecter, bound to be interesting and an excellent meal.

The assignment was HAVE dinner, not BE dinner, Rescue-Chick :)

I said it would be interesting and *I* am excellent r23.

I would like extra points for not making the obvious sexual double entendre which I really wanted to do

Mr. Roarke. Hoping he would grant me a fantasy too

Dr Gregory House

Sidney Chambers from Grantchester, because I'm a glutton for punishment.

Elizabeth II from "The Criown"

Race Bannon

Murphy Brown.

Any member of the Monkees. They’re all cute and I love them equally, maybe a little less for Mike Nesmith. He’s kinda fug

Phineas Bogg

Mac Harper, Jon-Erik Hexum's character in the TV series Cover Up.

James West and John Drake.

r33, I like how you think! Hugs! r32

Uhura from Star Trek and Gordon from Sesame Street

Illya Kuryakin

Raymond Reddington

Wally Cleaver.....naked.

Karen McKenzie (Knots Landing)

Sam Fowler (as played by Danny Markel)

Ward Cleaver... naked.

Uncle Beeww! Uncle Beeww!

Mistah Eddie’s Fathah

Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.

R43 We always called him Uncle B.O.

June Cleaver... naked.

Except for her pearls.

Ally McBeal because she wouldn’t constantly be asking me if I was going to finish my food.

Barbara Thorndyke

Tiffany Welles

Anisha,

John Steed. The wine pairings would be spectacular, and he could fend off diabolical masterminds between courses.

Julia Sugarbaker but only if she went off on me with one of her epic rants, otherwise Tarzan played by at the time Ron Ely in the loin cloth.

For the conversation, Richard Channing.

For the hope of sex afterwards, Cole Gioberti.

Frasier Crane

R53 Forgot how good looking Tarzan/Ely was!

Bernice Clifton at the Burger Barge

My hero and idol, Peggy Bundy.

Cheyenne, Cheyenne, are you headed my way tonight?

Maude Findlay

Is sex on the table?

Big Pussy

Bernice Clifton

ZaSu Pitts Spring Byington Nancy Kulp

Those girls knew some stories.

Professor John Robinson

[quote]ZaSu Pitts Spring Byington Nancy Kulp

Someone doesn't understand the assignment.

Grandpa Munster

Esther Anderson (Aunt Esther)

Iola Boyland. She would make her famous Tuna Montezuma.

Oh, and Bubba would stop by later with his cut-off shirt and rolled up sweat pants.

Loki.

Had to google Iola R68

R49 is an anti-semite, or at least an enabler of them. I'd rather have bagels and lox with Murray Guttman.

John and Anna Bates. By desert they’d be my new best married straight couple friends. Why? I just genuinely like them.

[quote]If you could have dinner with any television character who would you pick?

The NBC Peacock, Jess Harper and Slim Sherman (throw in Bobby Crawford age-progressed after Season 1), and Wally Cleaver later for a nice bowl of popcorn, just the two of us.

Are peacocks edible?

Joan Calamezzo and/or Leslie Knope from Parks & Rec.

Hazel. Because I'd ask for the dirt on all her best recipes and then, while behind her feigning to serve us coffee, I'd hit her on the side of the head with a soup tureen and run out of that kitchen back-door stealing them.

Or June Cleaver, except I'd exit the front door so I could chance to run into Ward or Eddie Haskell, and fuck them.

Dick Cavett, because he might have interesting stories.

I wonder if Ken Osmond ever had to arrest any former child actors.

Endora

Dr Bombay

Gordon Ramsay

Bo and Luke Duke. I would show them what a homosexual does in the back of the General Lee with hot, horny studs like them.

They might run you over with it.

Not when I get done with them r83 More likely they will need a nap.

Edina Monsoon

Punky Brewster

Lisa Douglas.

Samantha and Jeannie.

Bugs Bunny. Seriously.

Mickey Milkovitch from the US Shameless. I know he'd stick me with the bill, and probably steal my wallet as well, but I just know he'd take it like a man.

Nora Walker. Those big family meals on [ital]Brothers & Sisters[/ital] were always very entertaining disasters, and Scotty would cover both the great food and great eye candy aspects.

Dorothy Zbornak, I’m her male counterpart.

I gotta warn you, she has noticeable trouble digesting raw vegetables.

Shady Pines, Ma!

Felix Unger. He is neat, is a great cook, knows wine, and would be an interesting conversationalist.

Oscar Madison. He's a slob, we'd probably order a large garbage pizza then go bowling.

Oscar Madison. He wouldn't nag me. I just wouldn't eat anything taken from his fridge.

Season 1 & 2 of the Crown, Prince Phillip.

TV Character = Film Props in DL language.

Emily Gilmore.

Fritz Howard from THE CLOSER.

Jon Tenney was at the height of his hot male hotness when that series was shooting. Yum!

"Mama" Thelma Harper. I couldn't wait to see what she'd say about me.

Sebastian and Charles. And the whole Marchmain family, actually.

R97 — That guy’s dick is already on the Internet. Happy googling!

Eunice Higgins

Kevin Ilyanovich Rasputin Kubusheskie from You Can’t Do That On Television. He singlehandedly turned my eight-year-old self gay.

OP here, I would also like to say Murphy Brown.

Patsy Stone and Lucille Bluth.

Diane Lockhart

Hyacinth Bouquet and Mrs. Slocum

Mr. Ed

A horse is a horse, of course, of course, And no one can talk to a horse of course, That is of course the famous Mr. Ed.

Go right to this horse, and ask the horse, He'll give you the answer that you endorse, He's always on a steady course, Talk to Mr. Ed.

People yakkity-yak a streak, And waste your time of day, But Mr. Ed will never speak, Unless he has something to say!

A horse is a horse of course of course And this one'll talk 'til his voice is hoarse. You've never heard of a talking horse? Well, listen to this... "I am Mister Ed!"

Mary Hartline.

We'd both be in our matching outfits with the short full twirly skirts, super tight bodice to showcase our big tits, white scalloped demi boots. Excessively suicide blonde shoulder length hair with thick waves. We'd have our stripey batons just in case someone got out of line & needed some..DIRECTION. We'd have lots of colorful cocktails w. paper umbrellas served by bare chested smooth skinned lads in leather shorts. We'd watch & direct all the gang from the Super Circus do their actions & Direct them w. our stripey baton as needed..Sigh

Oh What a night!!

Lady Elaine Fairchild and Henrietta Pussycat

Valerie Cherish

Sure, she’d be a narcissistic handful, but could you imagine the gossip she’d dish about every network star from the late ‘80s onward? She would be a DataLounge dream. Just give her a compliment and she’d spill everything she ever heard.

R95 and R96 already said Oscar Madison, who was my first choice. I would also like to dine with Saul Goodman aka Jimmy McGill at an expensive restaurant. We could pull some scam on an obnoxious but handsome stranger and get a free meal.

Ada Hobson so I can give her a new dish towel. Mrs. Chancellor will never know that its missing.

R77 and r81 don't understand the topic.

Willona Woods. I was fascinated by her as a little kid.

Marty Byrde - he’s so perpetually tense we’d probably only manage drinks but I’d slip him a roofie and have my wicked way with him!

Nellie Oleson…kindred spirit.

Ricky Nelson... a little hottie.

Edith Bunker

Young Tony Danza yo

Detective Stan "Wojo" Wojciehowicz. Of course.

As embodied by DL favorite, Max Gail.

Take him to dinner. Get him liquored up. Oh, yes.

Mrs. Roper.

R122 made me lose my appetite.

It's a party:

Ronnie Burns

Major Don West

Ricky Nelson

I second Nellie Olsen, but with her mother Harriet, and stopping by for desert, their modern day counterparts, circa 1982, all the way from Pine Valley PA, Liza Colby and Phoebe Tyler Wallingford.

Marion Colby is coming next week. She's ion Monticello, and will be bringing Geraldine Whitney Saxon.

Miss Ellie from Dallas

Mr. Spock and John Gage(Emergency)

Dr. Jonathan Newman and his long lost twin, Wallingford!

We'll remember not to serve short ribs this time.

[quote]My hero and idol, Peggy Bundy.

Obviously she won't be doing the cooking or the cleaning.

Opal Gardner. We would go for barbecue.

Ross Poldark

Nanny Webster from the original Upstairs Downstairs.

Agreed. Poldark.

But the first one.

R136- Agreed the the second Poldark looks TOO GAY.

I try to believe in the adage "to each his own," but if you think the man at r136 is hotter than the man at r134, you are fucking blind.

And you are fucking wrong, R138.

Paladin, from Have Gun Will Travel

Honey West

T. H. E. Cat

Lt. Anita Van Buren

Mary Jenkins from 227. I know she'd be goatish and judgmental, but I think we'd get along and if I'm lucky, she'll have some of Rose Holloway's pie on hand. I have a soft spot for cranky old Maaary.

Sabrina Duncan

Columbo. Italian food and great stories.

T.K. Strand and Carlos Reyes from "911: Lone Star."

Any of James Garner's TV incarnations, whether it be Jim Rockford or Bret Maverick.

Karen Walker

Vinnie Terranova. Then I'd have him around to my place and tie him up, tie him down.

[quote]Any of James Garner's TV incarnations, whether it be Jim Rockford or Bret Maverick.

So, you mean EITHER? Unless you were counting his commercials with Mariette Hartley.

Stuart McMillan from McMillan & Wife.

No wife. Just me and McMillan.

I was just going to post the same thing, R149. Though I wouldn’t mind having dinner with Susan St James and Nancy Walker, just for the laughs.

Lucy, but I'm sure Gary will talk her out of it.

Niles Crane, for the witty banter.

Marie Barone, for the food.

Uncle Arthur (Bewitched) for the jokes.

James West, for THAT BODY.

This thread is useless without menus.

OMG, r140 and r147! R34 here (and I heart you, r152, for agreeing with me!).

How could I not invite these two beautiful men also!

I thought I was alone in being mesmerised by (or even remembering) Robert Loggia as Thomas Hewitt Edward Cat!

So many gorgeous men on TV in my high school years of the 60s (Vinnie excepted)!

After dinner we could all go for a cruise on the "Tiki III," helmed by the beauteous Adam Troy!

Gardner Mckay was before my time but he was stunning. Even in his later years, handsome.

Jesus, R155, you aren't kidding.

Grandpa Munster. That old fucker was hilarious.

More of Gardner. Wow!

152: Uncle Arthur??? Ok, let's see how that goes: 152: Uncle Arthur I was just thinking could you end coronavirus and kill all the Taliban in Afghanistan? UA: Sorry that's Samantha's department although I'm sure she'd be happy to do it. 152: Great! Let me talk to her. UA: Sorry, you already used up your choice. Want to hear about my new recipe for blueberry cobbler?

Herman Munster

Puddy's house. With Chris Keller as my date.

Benji, from Love, Victor....and I hope he brings his toothbrush

A bunch of male characters from [italic]Silver Spoons[/italic]…

…and skip dinner altogether while they railroad my ass
