New kind of game...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many shows, especially sit-coms, had their "Frank Burns" type character.
M*A*S*H had Frank. I want you to name other sit-coms and to say who you believe was the equivalent character of Frank.
For example, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, clearly and easily Ted Baxter was the "Frank Burns" of that show. He was a bumbling idiot, incompetent, and had an ego the size of Minneapolis.
Sondra Clark was the Frank Burns of "227". She was the annoying neighbor, to Mary & Rose (the Hawkeye & Trapper of "227" if you will).
Another way to characterize a Frank Burns type is somebody who played the "heavy", such as Joe Flynn's character on "McHale's Navy". (R.I.P. Ernest Borgnine...).
St. Elsewhere's Dr. Mark Craig played by William Daniels might qualify a tiny bit as a Frank Burns type, or Charlie Siebert as Dr. Riverside in "Trapper John M.D."
What sitcoms or dramadies can you think of that had a "Frank Burns" equivalent character?

WDM posted this originally...sounds like fun. The first show I think of is Cheers, with Cliff the postman being the out-it-character.
And Little House had that annoying Nellie.
