Entertainment weekly has some taste. (7th? Some.)

Oh, yes, he's an excellent sidekick. A fabulous minion. A first class underling.

Huh. Wouldn't call that selfless. Considerate, maybe. I prefer the original, unabridged, unPJ'ed text.

Interesting list. While I will give Robin, Chewbacca, and Dr. Watson their due, I fail to see how Ed McMahon, George Costanza, and Ethel Mertz outrank Sam. But maybe I'm just biased.

The one thing that sticks out though -- where is Tonto?!

1.) Ed McMahon
2.) Robin
3.) George Costanza
4.) Chewbacca
5.) Ethel Mertz
6.) Doctor Watson
7.) Samwise Gamgee
8.) Ed Norton
9.) Tatto
10.) Dwight Schrute
11.) Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger
12.) Donkey
13.) Robin Quivers
14.) Sancho Panza
15.) Andrew Ridgeley
16.) Wayne Smithers
17.) Willow Rosenberg
18.) Andy Richter
19.) Bernard P. Fife
20.) Turtle
21.) Gromit
22.) Pedro Sanchez
23.) Rhoda Morgenstern
24.) Goose
25.) Art Garfunkel
26.) The Supremes
27.) Hank Kingsley
28.) Falstaff
29.) Walter Sobchak
30.) Keith Rchards
31.) Garth Algar
32.) John Oates
33.) Leonard ''Lenny'' Kosnowski and Andrew ''Squiggy'' Squiggmann
34.) Barney Rubble
35.) Flo

Maybe we should do a British version of this putting in the odd Dr Who sidekick and Baldrick, the fun part might be how far down the list we could put the gaff-ridden Duke of Edinburgh

are you joking? robin ahead of sam? i dont remember seeing robin carry batman's beaten body up a mountain, or resist the temptation of the most powerful items on earth... oh well, those stupid media columnists.
