* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': Teenager Walter Denton. This is one of the reasons the Madison High principal, Mr. Conklin, dislikes him. For example, in the radio episode "Non-Fraternization Policy", Walter Denton calls Conklin's new rule demanding the separation of the sexes at school "medieval tyranny". In one television episode, "The Novelist", Mr. Conklin describes former student Terence Layton as "the Walter Denton of his day".

That all changed with Arnold on ''Series/DiffrentStrokes''. Television parents have been dealing with attitude ever since.
