For Fun- TV Characters /c ADD traits | ADHD Information

Phoebe Bouffet from Friends. What a funny and loving dingbat!

oooh, your post got kicked to next page w/o any replies. Sorry, Wilma. Anyway, who has time to watch TV when we have this this forum instead?   

Ted Baxter on MTM

Was he ever able to notice what was going on or pick up a social cue?

 

The oldest son on arrested developement, the Magican. People talk to him and it's like  he is so busy   in his own head he responds like he didnt  listen to a word  they said

Michael on Arrested developement...he did leave his son's  gf in Mexico and does  seem to  be surrounded by chaos

Bobby on King of the Hill.. clearly  none of the H in ADHD and all off the ADD

 

Is anyone more oppositional definat  than Bart( constantly in trouble in School) Simpson?

 

Carol Brady...how else do you  explain  she missed that her Husband  with a wardrobe  more colorful than hers was gay or  she didn't work but needed a full time House keeper?  What was up  with her  changing  her  daughter's  names to Brady too? Some respect for their dead Father!...role model mi yas!

 

Everyone in the movie  Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

 

Louie in Taxi..always frustrated, always disheveled, always  disorganized  and hiding his heart of gold

 

Fred Sanford... did you ever notice  the piles of stuff  in his house??????

Perry Mason, Quincy... clearly medicated  but  always thinking too far out of the box for his intuitive  leaps not to be  from  different brain wiring

 

Oscar  Madison.... Quincy before medication.

 

The Murder she wrote Lady, always thinking outside the box  always  drawn to excitement,   a complete failure to read social cues or mind her Ps and Qs ...how else  do you get involved in a murder every week? 

 

Gilligan...come on he wasnt stupid  but he sure  wasn't  very good at thinking things through....I can relate  I'm the kid who stuck a fork in the wall  socket when told  not to play with them.

 

Same with Wiley E. Coyote, big plans,  intutive leaps  but  poor follow through and the details always tripped him up

Road runner...talk about a need to be on the go

 

  Bugs Bunny as well,  talked a mile a minute, 4  changes in topics in 4 sentences, much faster if not smarter than  most he came in contact with  everyone who talked to him  was confused and shaking their heads  half the time when he was done bouncing all over the place... we of course always followed his thought train

Without a doubt that  fish  played  by Ellen Degeneres  in Finding Nemo... She never shut up, repeated herself,  and never  remembered conversations

Lucile Ball in I love Lucy.....  My god, the chaos, the plans, the confusion, the good intentions gone awry!

 

Mork, although technically he was  an alien

 

Yemana  on Barney Miller( the Islander)   he never seemed to be on the same page

 

I quess: The teacher from Dead Poets Society - what do you think of it?

Inuyasha from, well, Inuyasha. Impulsive, irritable, easily distracted, socially inept, hypersensitive, completely unable to think anything through, street smart, overly defensive....

Anyone here who recognizes Inuyasha should recognize my screen name. I'm a 25 year old female, but my best friend of 10 years says I'm just like this anime character in every way but gender, species, and nationality... lol. If she insists. I take it as a compliment.

 BOBEL!  That was the funniest post I think I have ever read!!!  CAROL BRADY!    A wardrobe more colorful than hers!!!  Okay, just wanted to thank you for the good laugh!  The kid on the sitcom Two and Half Men. He is always coming up with very creative excuses to not do his homework - and then his father calls him lazy! LOL - totally ADD. Fox Mulder from the X-Files.  Completely obsessed with the few things that interest him, but messy/disorganized and inattentive to all else. <<Everyone in the movie  Monty Python and the Holy Grail.>>

One of my all time favourite movies! I don't think I ever laughed so hard in my life! Who else but an ADDer could come up with something so off the wall!

<<Is anyone more oppositional definat  than Bart( constantly in trouble in School) Simpson?>>

They actually did an episode where Bart was diagnosed as ADD - they put him on an experimental drug called Focusin that made him totally paranoid. I haven't seen the episode since I started learning more about ADD, so it would be interesting to see it again, and see how many stereotypes they threw in.
Ooh - JD on Scrubs. He's constantly zoning out into his thoughts, to the exclusion of everything around him, or imagining scenarios and then snapping back into reality with a startled look on his face when someone talks to him.

I know the show is written that way for comedic effect, but damn, that's an ADDer right there!
