What is the best Straight Man/Silly Man Combination in Sitcom History?

[TVFactFan]

This was hard for me because it came to

James/J.J

Mr. Roper/Jack Tripper


Both of these combinations only lasted 2 years but i will have to say it's a tie. These two combinations are powerful to me.

Without a doubt...

Jack Tripper and Mr. Roper

[Madness]

Balki & Larry. Those two had great chemistry together.

[Classic TV Fanatic]

He wasn't a SILLY man, he was ODD and a WACKO.

Who is the best straight man/silly man combination in sitcom history? That would have to be Bud Abbott, the straight man, and Lou Costello, the silly man, on "The Abbott and Costello Show." Of course, they did not get their start in television. First working together in vaudeville, then later on in films and on radio.

[Chocoholic]

Joe and Brian (Wings)

Dave and Mr. James (NewsRadio)

Laurel and Hardy

Hmmm...Mel/Buddy on the Dick Van Dyke show

Anyone who remembers this one wins a cookie. Soupy Sales and the guy who used to show up at his front door and all you saw was his hairy arms when he talked.

Jerry/Kramer
