OK, seeing as we're nearing the far-fetched intangibles:
Many of the letter-senders(relatives/etc sending letters to the characters) in the series M*A*S*H are never seen.
Actually, in one episode near the end of last season you saw her [Howard's mum] walking around in the background while Raj was staying there ;)
But I hope that's all we see of her otherwise the jokes about her won't be as good.
I can't believe I forgot about that! And yes, I agree that it's better if we don't see her, and though I think the program is still good, I agree that it's lost something with the introduction of Mrs Howard, and to a lesser degree Sheldon's missus. On the plus side, there's been some great situations and jokes from the addition of these two, but (like Only Fools and Horses before it) I think overall the addition of female regulars has weakened the program.
Other examples are Fraiser and Friends, both of which lost something when two of their characters got married; in Fraiser it was of course Niles and Daphne, as before that Niles' love/lust for Daphne, which she was blind to, could result in some very funny dialogue, and in Friends, when Chandler got together with Monica, it lessened the humour of both characters, even more so when they got married. Though in the case of Friends, the program was getting less and less funny anyway, so blaming it on Chandler/Monica's pairing is maybe too simplistic.
Actually, this is not quite true. In season 5, episode 9, "Thanksgiving Orphans", she does appear but her face is covered in a pie after a food fight. You can see all of her apart from the face.
Slightly off topic a bit but for a good half season or so i thought the boss of the Sons of Anarchy was a guy who was never seen and his name was Sam Crowe. It turned out that S.A.M.C.R.O. stands for Sons of Anarchy Redwood Original which is name of the gangs chapter.

Didn't Monkey Harris appear in an episode? Was it him who trief to get Del to emigrate to Oz with him? I'll have to look it up.
Good call on the others though :-)
EDIT...That was Jumbo Mills. All 3 are good :D
Monkey Alan from The Office
mentioned about half a dozen times and attends the party on the last episode but is never seen
don't think anyone here even likes The Office though. never seen a show slagged off so much as that one on here!
he has been seen in the announcers booth on a tv programme.. sorry
there are other people like anthony davis (who does a radio show in london) who does/did shed loads of announcer work also. royal variety shows etc.
Rolf Harris?
I never knew that his first name was Frank until now.

they have you know
Be quiet you stupid boy!:smile:
It's one of those TV trivia things, like Steed never opened his umbrella in The Avengers, or Lassie the dog being mainly played by a male dog.

I don't remember that episode!
:)
I was wondering which of you would say that first! :):)
e.g.
http://www.columbo-site.freeuk.com/name.jpg
(from the Lt. Columbo site http://www.columbo-site.freeuk.com/name.htm )
It was never mentioned or confirmed in the show, though.
That's way wrong though! The name on his name tag is most definitely "Fresh"!
Columbo, Fresh Columbo.
