12. DICK VAN DYKE
Forget Diagnosis Murder and those '80s fire-safety PSAs (''Learn not to burn, wherever you are...''). You don't know Dick until you've seen The Dick Van Dyke Show. Van Dyke wriggled like human spaghetti through every scene, from describing a duck in a garbage disposal to skating across a walnut-covered floor. Our favorite is still the Twilight Zone parody, when his character, a comedy scribe, dreams he's lost his humor... and his thumbs.
