    Default TV shows where characters wore the same clothes over and over

    There are some tv shows where it seems like a character wears the same clothes over and over.

    In some cases, it's a uniform (like Andy Taylor's sheriff's uniform). In other cases, it's jackets or coats (like Roseanne Connor's purple coat).

    What are some of your favorite examples of a character wearing the same or similar clothes repeatedly?

    Gilligan and the Skipper, definitely.
    The Professor had maybe 2-3 (white shirt, blue shirt, always khakis).
    The Howells and the girls had an endless supply of outfits. More than they should have had for a 3 hour tour. The amount of outfits stretched credulity more than coconut radios.

    In the military group would also be F Troop and Hogan's Heroes. Also the Native Americans in F Troop, and Wrangler Jane (though she would play dress up a lot).

    Any change of clothes. It's 3 hours. You don't need to change clothes. Outside of, perhaps, a bathing suit.

    Yeah, hence my saying for the most part.
    Ginger was usually in a cocktail dress (?!?) and Mary Ann in shorts and and checkered shirt. At least it seemed that way!

    I also recall one of Ginger’s dresses being homemade and saying SS MINNOW on it. I may be imagining that...

    EDIT
    I was right!

    I don't think the Scooby-Doo gang ever changed their clothes once. Either they smelled really bad, or they spent a lot of time naked while their sole outfits were in the laundry.

    Most of the cast of M*A*S*H wore similar clothes - mostly military gear but even Hawkeye wore his Hawaiian shirt a lot.

    Well the cartoons could just say that they had several outfits that were exactly the same, like Shaggy had like a hundred of those green shirts and such...

    We've already mentioned westerns, in a related manner, Daniel Boone used the same wardrobe for almost all of its characters for its entire run.
