You mean like Coop, the Tibetan baseball pitcher?

Dennis/Denise?

Hawk, writing poetry to his girlfriend, Diane Shapiro, PhD, Brandeis?

Harry Truman, sheriff and leader of a secret vigilante society
that fights the Evil in the Woods (and lover of Ms. Fu Manchu.)

Major Briggs, Air Force Major, clandestine UFO researcher and
psychic/time traveler?

Dr. Jacoby, inventor of the prestidigitation cure?

Albert, the sarcastic pacifist?

Dick and Andy might be considered conventional; one is a fop and
the other is thick as a brick. And of course, James and Ed are
pretty conventional, in a rebel-without-a-brain sort of way.

The only really conventional man in the show is Doc Hayward.

Have I missed anyone?
