A few days ago I found the followin article in a daily news paper:

Austria has voted for their greatest TV-Heros.
6400 Votes (well that's not much but we are a small country

):
1st - Columbo
2nd - Mundl (an old tv series about a family father - long time before MWC. Very funny but very edgy & offensive humour )
3rd - Al Bundy - here we go - Al is still a hero.
Al has "beaten up":
McGyver, Knight Rider, Alf, Star Trek, Two and a half men, How I met your Mother, King of Queen, and many more...
