8. OUTRAGEOUS

Dr. Tobias Funke on "Arrested Development," played by David Cross (right with Portia de Rossi)

Too, too, too funny. Tobias Funke was one of the best characters on this gem of a sitcom. He lost his psychiatric medical license after giving CPR to a man who wasn't really having a heart attack, but he still considered himself a therapist. The victim of phobias including "never-nude" syndrome, Funke was also a latent homosexual who constantly stumbled into double entendres and Freudian slips about gay sex. One season, kicked out of the house by his wife, he disguised himself as a British nanny named "Mrs. Featherbottom" to gain access to his children. It was as brilliantly outrageous as anything on this classic series.
