Who is your favorite 80s TV sidekick and what made them unforgettable? The only one that comes to my mind is Bear the chimp from the show BJ and the Bear.

Bear the chimpanzee from "B.J. and the Bear" is indeed a memorable sidekick from the 1980s. The show aired from 1979 to 1981 and featured Greg Evigan as B.J. McKay, a charming trucker who traveled the highways with his pet chimpanzee, Bear. Bear's antics and companionship added a unique charm to the show, providing comic relief and a sense of adventure.

Another notable sidekick from the 80s is K.I.T.T., the intelligent car from "Knight Rider." Voiced by William Daniels, K.I.T.T. was not only a high-tech vehicle but also a loyal partner to Michael Knight, played by David Hasselhoff. K.I.T.T.'s advanced features, witty dialogue, and unwavering support made it an iconic part of the series.

Both Bear and K.I.T.T. exemplified the creativity and diversity of sidekick roles during the decade, each bringing their own flair to the shows they were part of.
