Boner

Before Steve Urkel and before Kimmy Gibbler, there was Boner. Boner played the necessarily witless sidekick to already none-too-bright Mike Seaver on Growing Pains*. See that flashy sports jacket? Boner was the quintessential Italian American stereotype -- a regular little Buttafuco (the show did take place on Long Island, after all). How does a lucky young actor score such a succulent role on a wildly popular sitcom? Perhaps it helps to be the son of a Star Trek actor, even if that actor is Walter Koenig.

*try Google Image searching "growing pains" and "boner" and see how much fun you can have.
