Stump the King - Robbie Rist - VIDEO

Robbie Rist and the King of TVI got a great question this week from a fan named Alan...

"My wife swears this show existed in the early to mid 80s. Here's what she remembers... Animated kids who were once live action kids but somehow became animated. They played in a rock band. The theme song to the show was, "Owner of a Lonely Heart," by Yes.* It is not "The Brady Bunch Kids."

Who are TV's most unpopular characters?

Robbie Rist as Cousin OliverI've always wondered how the Onion A.V. Club comes up with their off-the-wall Inventory lists. Do they come up with the concepts in editorial meetings, or do the writers just individually conjure these lists off the tops of their heads, like we do? Either way, some of the categories they come up with are funny and conversation-worthy to say the least.

Case in point: this week, the A.V. Club folks list "13 Memorably Unpopular Characters from Popular TV", and the list is right-on-target: I mean, who didn't hate Cousin Oliver, or pull the hairs out of their nose every time Scrappy-Doo came on the screen? Urkel also makes the list, although there are about 133 people who may dispute that claim. Even the choice of Dawn Summers is spot-on, as I confirmed with our resident Buffy-phile, Keith, this morning. Those Onion guys can come up with some pretty good lists. They're almost as good as ours.
