Carbon Costume TV
Joan Watson
Elementary’s Watson may be a Joan instead of a John and traded in a soldier’s firearm for a sober companion’s exasperated patience, but don’t underestimate her. She not only keeps up with the deductive skill of Sherlock Holmes, she does it all while running around New York in two-inch heels.
Marcus Bell
Named for Dr. Joseph Bell, the inspiration behind the original Sherlock Holmes, Marcus Bell is one of the best and brightest of the NYPD, earning the respect of a certain consulting detective. Plus, he can do the one thing Elementary’s Holmes appears incapable of doing: dress like an adult.
Buster Bluth
In Arrested Development, Buster was and continues to be the baby of the Bluth family. He enjoys giving backrubs to his mother Lucille, having photo shoots in matching outfits with his mother, and dating women named Lucille who are his mother’s age.
Lindsay Bluth Fünke
In Arrested Development, Lindsay Bluth Fünke (Portia de Rossi) is the unsupportive wife of Tobias Fünke and the ungrateful twin sister of Michael Bluth. She supports cause célèbres and wears questionable attire, if only to be the center of attention.
Don Draper
Don Draper is the all-American success story: a self-made man with a job at a top New York advertising agency, a house in the suburbs, and a beautiful wife. Well, if you ignore all the identity theft, manslaughter and adultery that got him there. Thus, not included in the costume below: self-loathing, borderline alcoholism, Dick Whitman.
Bertram Cooper
Bert Cooper likes to cultivate the image of an old eccentric in the offices of Sterling Cooper (and later, at Sterling Cooper Draper Price), but beneath the affection for Japanese art and Ayn Rand quotes lies a sharp, ambitious mind. He’s perfectly happy to keep and use secrets to manipulate other members of the firm, whether it’s using Don’s real identity against him or not-so-subtly reminding Robert Sterling just who exactly it was who got him his job in the first place.
Harry Crane
Despite his numerous bowties and horn-rimmed glasses, Harry, like many of the characters on Mad Men, is not as old-fashioned as he appears. While most of his fellow copywriters at Sterling Cooper are still concentrating on magazine adverts, Harry is looking to television as the way of the future. After creating and running the department at the old firm, it’s no wonder that Don and company seize the chance to swipe him for the newly formed Sterling Cooper Draper Price.
Steve Urkel
Steven Q. Urkel, played by Jaleel White, lives next door to the Winslows on the TGIF show Family Matters. Urkel is the ultimate nerd with his awkward fashion, high-pitched voice, and unrequited love for Laura Winslow — at least until he drinks his cool juice and transforms into Stefan Urquelle.
George Michael Bluth
George Michael is the reserved teenage son of Michael Bluth, with an equally reserved sense of style. Despite his family’s wild antics, he just wants a normal life for himself. Oh, and to have his cousin Maeby love him back.
Annyong Bluth
Annyong is the adopted Korean son of Lucille and George Bluth. Knowing no English, he repeats only “annyoung” — the Korean word for “hello” — and the name sticks. He quarrels with his brother Buster and is revealed to be a mole seeking revenge on the Bluth Family.
