It is a lesser-known fact that, at the height of ‘Happy Days’ popularity, a cartoon spinoff featuring Riche, Fonzie and Malph traveling in time was greenlit. Thanks to a ditzy future girl named Cupcake, the gang (as well as Fonzie’s never-before-seen anthropomorphic dog, Mr. Cool) were sent spinning though the chronoverse, desperately searching for a way back to 1957. It was like ‘Quantum Leap’ with more ducktails and leather jackets. But, it also begs the question of which OTHER unlikely folk would be fun time-travelers, leading to today’s bogus journey query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) would kind of love to see Starsky and Hutch in the 23rd Century or, alternately, Bo and Luke Duke escaping the grasp of the Daleks with a hearty “YEEHAH!”, and that’s just the 1970s, asking: What fictional character of any provenance, genre or universe would be most interesting to see traveling in time?

I’d be all in for time travelling Inspector Gadget, Dr Who style.
Adrian Monk, of the procedural show Monk. I think that his apoplectic OCD quirks would be wonderfully tweaked with time-traveling hi-jinks.
