I think Archie Bunker was a slacker...and he was a favorite of many people.

I added him as my Betty White (IMDb Daily Poll insider joke/neutral option) option with the following text to explain his inclusion:

@tsarstepan,
In looking at 70s TV shows:

Vinny Barbarino from Welcome Back Kotter

Laverne and Shirley - you can't have one without the other

Sargent Schultz from Hogan's Heroes . What can be more slacker than "I see nothing."

@tsarstepan,
And speaking of Betty White, would you consider her on Golden Girls as a slacker or just a naive Midwestern girl?

She was more a stereotype of the descendants of the Scandinavian immigrants of the Upper Midwestern states of the US, the "typical blonde."

The movie poster just shows one of the characters, Pap Smear Pusher, played by Teresa Taylor, who played drums for the punk band Butthole Surfers.

Why did I not think of it before?

Peg Bundy from Married with Children, the ultimate in sexy slacker chic.

I couldn't in my right mind add Jay because he's the antithesis to affable. Razz

Keep in mind that she doesn't qualify simply because she's one of the meanest characters in the history of the medium. I'm looking for likable/affable characters.
