Top Hollywood Sidekicks

Batman and Robin Robin is always there to help Batman out of sticky situations and doesn't seem to crave nearly as much attention as the man in the black suit. Now that's a great sidekick. Check out who else makes a great sidekick! (20th Century Fox) <a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/@fox411">Follow FOX411.com on Twitter.</a>

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson Sherlock Holmes wouldn't be half the detective he is without the clever Mr. Watson by his side. (Warner Home Video) <a href="http://twitter.com/@fox411" target="_blank">Follow FOX411.com on Twitter.</a>

Maverick and Goose Maverick (Tom Cruise) needed to have someone behind him who he could trust when he was flying fighter jets - and singing karaoke. His best friend Goose (Anthony Edwards) was the perfect man for the job. (Paramount Pictures) <a href="http://twitter.com/@fox411" target="_blank">Follow FOX411.com on Twitter.</a>

Bert and Ernie It's hard to pick out who is the star and who is the sidekick of this "Sesame Street" duo. Bert (left) is more serious while Ernie (right) can be silly and likes to have a good time. So we'll go with Ernie. Unless of course his rubber ducky is the sidekick. Hmmm..... (PBS) <a href="http://twitter.com/@fox411" target="_blank">Follow FOX411.com on Twitter.</a> (AP)

Han Solo and Chewbacca Chewbacca - AKA Chewie - was named one of the greatest sidekicks in film history by Entertainment Weekly. We agree. (20th Century Fox) <a href="http://twitter.com/@fox411" target="_blank">Follow FOX411.com on Twitter.</a>

Captain Kirk and Spock Spock (left) was always Captain Kirk's right hand Vulcan on 'Star Trek.' Spock's level-headedness always help calm the excitable Kirk. Nimoy's emotionlessness was a nice counterbalance to Shatner's overracting, too. (Paramount) <a href="http://twitter.com/@fox411" target="_blank">Follow FOX411.com on Twitter.</a>

Tom and Jerry Without Tom, Jerry would just be a scared little mouse. Without Jerry, Tom would have nothing to chase after. They are co-dependant sidekicks. (Warner Home Video) <a href="http://twitter.com/@fox411" target="_blank">Follow FOX411.com on Twitter.</a>

Napoleon Dynamite and Pedro Pedro (Efren Ramirez) may have been Napoleon's (Jon Heder) sidekick, but that doesn't mean that the goofy-looking redhead didn't support his best friend through and through. Vote for Pedro! (20th Century Fox) <a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/@fox411">Follow FOX411.com on Twitter.</a>

Sonny and Cher Husband and wife team, Sonny Bono and Cher started their careers together in the '60s. After their divorce in the '70s, Cher went on to have a successful music career while Sonny's career fizzled. A sidekick down on his luck is a hard thing to watch.

Michael Knight and KITT Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff) couldn't do anything without his talking car. (Universal Studios) <a href="http://twitter.com/@fox411" target="_blank">Follow FOX411.com on Twitter.</a>

Kim and Kourtney First it was a reality show about the whole family, then viewers tuned in to see Khloe and Kourtney in Miami and now Kourtney has teamed up with Kim in New York. It seems to us that Kourtney makes a darn good sidekick to launch her media loving sisters' careers. (AP) <a href="http://twitter.com/@fox411" target="_blank">Follow FOX411.com on Twitter.</a>

Lucy and Ethel Lucy (Lucille Ball) and Ethel's (Vivian Vance) interactions on "I Love Lucy" were almost as much fun to watch as Lucy and her husband's (Desi Arnaz) arguments. Lucy always brought along her sidekick whenever she was up to no good and as a faithful friend, Ethel never argued.

Hall and Oates Sure, the name of their band makes it sound like they're equals, but we all know that John Oates is just a really good sidekick to Daryl Hall. <a href="http://twitter.com/@fox411" target="_blank">Follow FOX411.com on Twitter.</a>

Howard Stern and Robin Quivers These two seem like a very unlikely pair, but they've been making sweet radio banter tigether since 1981. Howard has his own fan base, but his outrageous conversations with Robin on air is what makes listeners keep tuning in.

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott Did anybody even know who Dean McDermott was before he married Tori Spelling in 2006? He makes a great Mr. Tori Spelling. (AP) <a href="http://twitter.com/@fox411" target="_blank">Follow FOX411.com on Twitter.</a> (AP2010)

Captain and Tennille Although they were both musicians in their own right when they began collaborating, the "Captain" Darly Dragon seems to be just a sidekick to his talented wife Tennille. She's much easier on the eyes. <a href="http://twitter.com/@fox411" target="_blank">Follow FOX411.com on Twitter.</a>
