Well, I've got too many to list, but I'm a little surprised that nobody here has mentioned Lion-O ... c'mon, am I the only one here who wanted to be King of the ThunderCats when he grew up!?

I have to say that I'm pretty much a self made man and that my father and grandfather are the two without whom I wouldn't be who I am today.

That said, there were a few characters I could relate too.

Alan from space 1999, I liked The Fall Guy too. Buck rogers (Gil Gerard) had a charm. Never liked Luke all that much, but Han Solo had the same sense of humour as I did.

Dirty Harry, Peter Parker, Steve McQueen's charater in The Great Escape.

But I'd have to say Steve McQueen more than the rest.

I had to really do some thinking about this one, but I finally figured it out. Back in the 70's there was a sitcom of unknown name and origin, like so many of the day. But one scene in it has haunted me to this day. There was a young woman exaspirated with her life, her kids and selfish family members. She was furious and disgusted and found out her husband did something that he was sorry for, but couldn't show it and remain manly, but she was thinking about leaving him. A kindly old father figure talked to her about it all, and his only words of advice when she didn't know what else to do with all these needy people was "Love them a little bit more." At the time I thought dumb answer, blood would be easier. But as I got older and hopefully wiser, the answer kept haunting me (how appropriate for Halloween!)
I use that more and more in my dealings with difficult people, needy people, and find it so much more rewarding than any other approach I could take in life. It's not religious, it's just humanitarian, and it has molded me more than I can say. So even though I can't remember the show, it appeared on the day I needed most to hear it and have the lesson stick.
