Lol, forgot about that show:

"Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, Bubba "Spare Tire" Dixon."




And a second:

Best of Bundy - Polk High Football
 
While the show itself wasn't a sitcom, I'll throw in one of the more memorable characters on any show in the 80s: Vic Hitler "The Narcoleptic Comic" on Hill St. Blues (played by Terry Kiser, who played the corpse in "Weekend at Bernie's"). Vic Hitler only made three appearances, but provided comic relief and was perhaps the strangest character ever conceived for TV at that point in time.

Not exactly a sitcom in a traditional sense, but Jeremy Piven as Ari Gold in Entourage.
 
You'll need to collect names, come up with a draw of 64, then do weekly polls until there is a winner. Don't worry, it should only take a couple hours a day, for a month or so.

OK , these are not the stars but character actor seconds or near firsts, IMO you have Louie Depalma- Danny DeVito, Jason Alexander’s George, Michael Richard as Kramer, John Ratzenberger’s Cliff Claven, and fighting it out for first place is Barney Fife as Don Knotts and in the lead is Ed Norton by Art Carney. I realize there are later sitcoms like The Office, Modern Family and others that have good characters.

Dwight Schrute
Ron Swanson
Most of the secondary characters on both The Office and Parks and Rec.
Tracy Jordan, Jack Donaghy, Kenneth Parcell and others from 30 Rock.
Jian Yang & Jared Dunn from Silicon Valley.
The huge cast of characters outside of the family on The Simpson’s.

I’m not much for the older sitcoms. I think back to much of the TGIF crap my family watched or stuff on “Must See Tv Thursday” and mostly shake my head.

Not all sitcoms per se, but some of my favorite comedy characters from TV:

Sterling Archer - Archer
David Addison - Moonlighting
Red Foreman - That 70's Show
Dr. Johnny Fever - WKRP in Cincinatti
 
Gotta be Gordon Jump as the Big Guy on WKRP. Classic. "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!"

Past:
Archie Bunker
Hawkeye Pierce
Sam Malone
George Costanza
Joey Tribianni

Current:
Phil Dunphy

All dumb guys, just like me.
 
ALF had one good line, when he was given a salad for dinner, " This isn't food, this is what food eats"
