The 20 Best Sitcom Pets In Television History
20. ALF (ALF)
ALF (Alien Life Form) was in a sitcom called ALF. ALF landed at the Tanner household from the planet, Melmac. The Tanner family included Willie, Kate, Lynn, Brian, and Lucky. Lucky was the cat that ALF always considered eating. Most of the time ALF was played by a puppet, but when a full body shot of the alien was needed, midget Michu Meszaros stepped in.[image credit: Taz424court]Arnold is the Rottweiler guard dog for the 4 characters on Entourage. Turtle and Drama took Arnold to the dog park in Season 3 and hooked up with two girls that also liked Rottweilers. Arnold attacked the other Rottweiler when they fought over a steak. Turtle and Drama made it back to the girls’ house after the vet took care of the Rottweiler victim, but were kicked out after Turtle blamed them for the dog fight.[image credit: Nerdalerts]Buck is the family sheep dog on Married with… Children. Buck’s voice is heard by the audience through his thoughts. His voice is played by Kevin Curran, Cheech Marin, and Kim Weiskopf. In the opening credits of the show, the family takes money from Al Bundy, the main character. Buck also gets in line for taking money from him. Buck’s favorite magazine is Bitches In Heat.[image credit: Wikipedia]
Brian Griffin is the talking dog of Family Guy. Brian is voiced by Seth MacFarlane. Entertainment Weekly named Brian as the Dog for “The Perfect TV Family.” Brian loves opera, jazz, booze, and is witty. Brian has feelings for Lois Griffin as seen in episodes such as “Brian in Love.” Brian’s catchphrase is: “Who’s leg do you have to hump to get a dry martini around here?”[image credit: TV Acres]
Marcel was Ross’ capuchin monkey on the show, Friends. Marcel was rescued from a lab. Marcel left feces in Monica’s shoe in on of the episodes. When Marcel got lost in one of the episodes, Joey said: “All right. You’re a monkey. You’re loose in the city. Where do you go?” And Chandler responded, “Okay, it’s his first time out, so he’s probably going to want to do some of the touristy things. I’ll go to ‘Cats,’ you go to the Russian Tea Room.”

Comet sees the show and returns home.[image credit: Wikipedia]
Lassie is the Rough Collie dog that always helped out Timmy. Timmy would always get into some sort of shit with a wild animal, then Lassie would run and get help. Timmy also had fallen into rivers, lakes, quicksand, mine shafts, and off of cliffs. When Lassie ran to get help, people would always seem to understand what she was saying in his barks. Timmy really needed to get his shit together so Lassie could retire.
12. Astro (The Jetsons)

Astro is the family dog for The Jetsons. Astro could mumble words in the English words starting with the letter R. “Ruh-roh!” “Rats Rall Right Reorge.” Astro’s voice was played by Don Messick. At the end of each Jetson’s episode, a cat jumps on the dogwalker (displayed above). Astro chases the dog, causing the dogwalker to move a lot faster. As a result, George Jetson spins around the dogwalker constantly and yells “stop this CRAZY THING!” Family Guy did a parody of this scene later.[image credit: Dino Wing]

1. Nibbler (Futurama)
Nibbler is Leela’s pet on Futurama.

Despite his miniature size, Nibbler eats everything in sight. That’s why he is number 1. Also because Nibbler shits dark matter than can be used as rocket fuel.

October 15th, 2008 at 11:47 pmKlaus? #3? for same!!! american dad SUCKS- SLH should also be higher up than Eek the cat- besides Eek was never a Pet, he was his own owner. if thats the kind of sloppy work that goes into these lists, then i nominate Rocko from Rocko’s modern life to replace that craptastic fish Klaus.
but since im better then that, i’ll nominate Spunky, Rocko’s dog from the same show

October 16th, 2008 at 8:41 amMy God that was awful. Buck Bundy and Brian Griffin are behind Klaus the frigging no-charisma pointless-character goldfish? Come on! American Dad is awful, only Stan is likeable… and Nibbler is probably the worst Futurama character ever, next to Scruffy.

October 16th, 2008 at 10:26 amThis had to be written by a 8-year old girl… Brian is #17?? Behind the mutt from Full House? And -anything- from Rugrats?? Are you kidding me??
And don’t even get me started on the fact that Sabrina the Teenage Witch is mentioned in this article in a form other than, “Ewww… I think I have some Sabrina the Teenage Witch on the bottom of my shoe! Gross!”
Author, you are a dope.

Paul
October 29th, 2008 at 7:53 pmNo Porkchop from Doug? Or Spunky from Rocco’s Modern Life? OK probably not Spunky, but the Seymour idea was dead-on. After writing this, I ask myself who cares? I don’t care. Fuck this shit.

December 3rd, 2008 at 12:51 amOK, everyone has their opinions and though I may not agree with all your choices, they are still valid as opinion pieces. The only thing I have to say is that you did forget one credit of Frank Welker’s. Megatron.
That’s it.

October 15th, 2009 at 1:24 amLassie was not classified as a sitcom. I think that you are very uneducated in the sitcom past the mid eightys. Enough intelligent viewers have complained about Eddie; but there are many more. I noticed that Murray from Mad About You was mentioned-he was so integral to the series that there were 3 episodes devoted to his problems (like reconsoling with his mother). Benji-played the dog on Petticoat Junction- he once had to have his spending habits controlled after inheriting some money! Arnold the pig from Green Acres, Dryfus on Empty Nest, Brain on Inspector Gadget and many others. I also object to ALF and Mr Floppy being pets, and some of these animals were only on one or two episodes of a ten year run.
-Your unnessicary ise of curse words onthe artical also shows that you are too immature to take on such a subject.
