Token Minority | Raj ("and Koothrappali is the lovable foreigner who struggles to understand our ways and fails.") |
The Big Guy | Leonard ("That leaves you, by default, as the muscle.") |

The Hero | Rowen Atkinson as Blackadder |
The Lancer | Tony Robinson as Baldrick |

El Chavo del Ocho - The Kids
The Hero | Chavo |
The Lancer | Quico |
The Big Guy | Nono |
The Smart Guy | Chilindrina |
The Chick | Popis |
The Sixth Ranger | Godinez |
El Chavo del Ocho - The Adults
The Hero | Don Ramon...though he's more of an Anti-Hero |
The Lancer | Dona Florinda |
The Big Guy | Senor Barriga |
The Smart Guy | Profesor Jirafales |
The Chick | Dona Clotilde |
The Sixth Ranger | Jaimito |
Chef!
The Hero | Gareth (No, really!) |
The Lancer | Everton |
The Big Guy | Gustave |
The Smart Guy | Lucinda, later Alphonse |
The Chick | Janice (Subverted in that she's an extremely capable businesswoman) |
Chuck - In later seasons.
The Hero/The Smart Guy | Chuck |
The Lancer | Sarah |
The Big Guy | Casey |
The Chick | Morgan |
The Hero | Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson |
The Lancer | Sgt. Gabriel |
The Big Guy(s) | Lts. Provenza and Flynn, Det. Sanchez |
The Smart Guy(s) | Lt. Tao, Det. Sanchez |
The Chick | Det. Daniels |
The Mentor | Chief Pope |
Sixth Ranger | FBI Agent Fritz Howard |
- Varies A Lot: Detective Sanchez knows the streets and and the ins and outs of gang activity; he switches between The Big Guy and The Smart Guy depending on the case.
- Provenza and Flynn are not dumb; however, they do have a habit of getting themselves into trouble.
The Hero | Cher |
The Lancer | Dionne |
The Big Guy | Murray |
The Smart Guy | Sean |
The Chick | Amber |
Coach
The Hero | Hayden |
The Lancer | Luther |
The Big Guy | Dauber |
The Smart Guy | Howard (By process of elimination) |
The Chick | Christine (The only female character that lasted the whole run of the show) |

Team Mom | Shirley |
Token Evil Teammate | Pierce |
The Hero | Aaron Hotchner |
The Lancer | Jason Gideon, followed by David Rossi |
The Big Guy | Derek Morgan |
The Smart Guy | Spencer Reid and Penelope Garcia |
The Chick | Jennifer "JJ" Jareau |
The Sixth Ranger | Elle Greenaway, followed by Emily Prentiss |
- Varies A Lot: The Big Guy, Smart Guy, and Chick roles on this show get traded around more often than you'd expect, and there's generally a whole lotta subvertin' goin' on, but the pattern does hold more often than not.
- A further subversion is that Hotch and Gideon (and later Rossi) trade The Hero and The Lancer roles back and forth. Hotch is, after all, the Unit Chief.
- Actually, Hotch is The Hero pretty straight since he is the unit cheif. Even when Morgan is chief he's more of a figure head. Gideon and Rossi are the scruffy more laid back contrast to Hotch's uptight straightforward leading which is right inline with The Lancer. Reid is far too useful to be The Chick.
The Hero | Nick Stokes |
The Lancer | Sara Sidle |
The Big Guy | Warrick Brown |
The Smart Guy | Greg Sanders |
The Chick | Catherine Willows |
The Mentor | Gil Grissom |
CSI: After Season 8, had cast members leaving or dying, which lead to quite a shuffle.
The Hero | Catherine Willows |
The Lancer | Riley Adams, now Morgan Brody |
The Big Guy | Nick Stokes |
The Smart Guy | Ray Langston or Sara Sidle,sometimes DB Russell |
The Chick | Greg Sanders |
The Mentor | DB Russell |
- This will likely keep changing, since more cast shake ups are happening.
The Hero | Mac Taylor |
The Lancer | Danny Messer, sometimes also either Don Flack,Jo Danville or Stella Bonasera |
The Big Guy | Don Flack or Danny Messer |
The Smart Guy | Stella Bonasera and Lindsay Messer used to trade off between this and The Chick, now it's Jo Danville and Lindsay Messer. Sometimes also Hawkes |
The Chick | See above, also Aiden Burn sometimes in first season |
The Sixth Ranger | Sheldon Hawkes |
