How could you forget John Beresford Tipton (the protagonist of "The Millionaire") who was also never seen, only heard (voiced by the legendary Paul Frees)?

You got 7 out of 10
Darn, missed a few. No shame in phoning a friend next time!
Found Columbo Boring and annoying, haven't seen Twin Peaks since it went off the air and NEVER saw/nor want to see a pathetic goody-goody show like Left a cleaver in your skull.

There was also "Carleton, your Doorman" on "Rhoda" and Heather Sinclair on "Degrassi: The Next Generation".
The voice of Carlton was by the same actor that was the first voice for Garfield, the Cat - Lorenzo Music.
* And Marge the receptionist on Dick Van Dyke Show!
