Forgotten great Sci Fi tv characters.

[Jayson1]

As someone who liked the "Weird Science" tv show I should mention two characters. Chet played by Lee Tergesen who is likely most famous for his role on "OZ" and also Principal Scampi. They were often the but of the jokes and messed around with in all sorts of crazy ways by Lisa's computer magic but they stole half of the scenes on the show.

From B5: Zathras. Not to be confused, of course, with Zathras.

Are you sure you don't mean Zathras? Certainly no-one likes Zathras.

Twiki and Theo from BUCK ROGERS.

I'd be surprised if I wasn't the only person who remembers them.

Oh I totally remember them.

Twiki: "Biddi biddi."
Buck: "What did he say?"
Theo: "You don't want to know."

Loved that series.

Well, yeah. So long as you remember Buck Rogers at all, you remember Twiki & Dr. Theopolis.

BTW, when looking him up online to make sure I was spelling it right, I was shocked to discover that his name was Theopolis and not Theophilus (literally "lover of God"). I figured that it was supposed to be a biblical reference to the unidentified person to whom Luke was addressing the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. I didn't think that there was any specific meaning behind choosing that name for the computer but it sounds impressive & literate.

Whenever I think of Twiki I think of this now.
