Can you guess the '80s sitcom from a single character name?

 
From ALF to Urkel, Eighties sitcoms gave us some pretty quirky characters — and quirky character names. A sitcom wasn't complete without some unique character name. In what other decades could you ever find a Tootie and a Punky?

For those who grew up feasting on '80s comedies, these names stick in the brain like the Big Red gum jingle. Let's see if you can match them to the correct television show.

We'll give you a single name. You pick the appropriate sitcom. Good luck!
