  1.  Burgess Merideth as The Penguin in the 1960's Batman television series
  2.  Cesar Romero as The Joker in the 1960's Batman television series
  3.  Sorrell Booke as Boss Hogg in the 1979-1985 The Dukes of Hazzard television series
  4.  Harold Gould as Harry Danton in the 1970's The Feather and Father Gang television series
  5.  Howard Morris as Ernest T. Bass in the 1960's The Andy Griffith Show television series

Let me say that I generally think that the idea of having "favorite villians" is something that I find deplorable and horrid.  While I can appreciate that acting talent that is used in the role, I find that the ones that I do "like" the best are the comical villians.  This explains my choices.

Remember that I choose these actors in these roles and not The Joker and The Penguin as played by others in different television series.  I could laugh at the foibles of these geniuses in their parts.

Added, thanks.

And as you say, it is horrid to have a favorite villain. This is more about which villain's concept and role did you like the most.

The youngest TV-series you named is of an age when I just watched Colt Seavers and A-Team, things like that. :D

P.S.: "The Fall Guy" was named "Ein Colt für alle Fälle" in Germany, which translates to "A Colt for all Cases". When they really install a stunt-Oscar, I hope Lee Majors will be presenter. :D

I almost put in Harcourt Fenton (Harry Mudd) from the original 1960's Star Trek, but he only appeared in two episodes of that series.  There's another oldie but goodie (in this case, baddie, for you).

@Breumaster​   I have not made it a sercret on here that I have had multiple strokes and am mostly bedridden.  One of the side effects of those strokes is that I am suffering "vascular dementia" (look it up).  I can remember the older movies and tv shows from my youth as if I watched them last week, but have a real problem remembering the shows that I watched last week!

Though I can come up with lots of ideas for polls (I was one of the original poll makers about twenty years ago and made up over 150 polls), I don't have the ability to use the computer to make polls anymore.  I just comment on the poll board here.

I know. You told it a few times. I saw several documentations about in German TV and know that every stroke is individual. You suffered several strokes - so ironically you are a lucky guy. Microstrokes happen more often you wouldn't imagine. Most of them remain undiscovered. Eyes can also have strokes. That's mostly when your sight suddently turns black. When one has luck, he will see again a few seconds or minutes later, others remain blind. A stroke in cerebellum or in the midbrain can be deadly! I heard about 80% of these patients die or remain strongly disabled. Tied to a wheelchair, drooling around uncontrolled and need diapers and stomach tube.

@Breumaster​   I have had three major strokes and multiple mini-strokes/minor strokes (sometimes called a TIA).  Mine were in the pons area of the brain stem.  They affected my balance, my stamina, my equilibrium, my muscalar control, headaches, bladder control, vertigo, my attention span, my walking, my night vision, my hand-eye coordination, and other things.  I have not driven a car in over five years.  I shave maybe once a week because I do not have the coordination.  I have a hard time reading for more than ten minutes at a time and even then need to do light reading (nothing technical).  I fall often and cannot climb ladders or stairs without getting vertigo.  I have two canes, two walkers, and a wheelchair and use all of them (depending on how I feel on any particular day).  I take eleven pills every morning and six pills every night if I am feeling well.  I take other medications if I am not feeling well.  It isn't a lot of fun!

I understand that. I’m sure it isn’t fun, and that’s not what I meant. I just meant that you were lucky in unfortunate situations. I hope you won't suffer another. But I also know when it happened, it can happen more easy again. Your pills help you to better not suffer it.

@Breumaster​   No problems.  Nap time now (I sleep about 12 to 14 hours a day).  Later.
