Dr. Cornelius Chalmers Esquire, The Third, PhD
- Real name: Unknown (but Seamus McMurphpatrick in a joke)
- Voice actor: Dan Godwin
-
- Episode Appearances: 1-6, 8-10, 12-17
Dr. Chalmers is intelligent, but becomes easily irritated at people. He often finds many things about which to complain, such as modern technology and the others in the group. He frequently uses the expression "I mean, really!" when annoyed, and is seen at one point saying "What up dawg?". Dr. Chalmers likes to play chess, sometimes against himself, and has a strange obsession with collecting refrigerators. When he drinks milk, he becomes "all congested" and his voice briefly sounds like the Omnipotent Voice (see below). In episode 16, the scientist Sam says that Chalmers' actual name is Seamus McMurphpatrick, leading Chalmers to believe he is Irish; just before Chalmers is returned to his own time in episode 17, the scientist Sam reveals to the others that "he was just kidding about being Irish". Chalmers is returned to the year 1972, where he becomes known as the "disco leprechaun" of North Cleveland.

Famous quotes containing the word chalmers:
“The hypothesis I wish to advance is that ... the language of morality is in ... grave disorder.... What we possess, if this is true, are the fragments of a conceptual scheme, parts of which now lack those contexts from which their significance derived. We possess indeed simulacra of morality, we continue to use many of the key expressions. But we have—very largely if not entirely—lost our comprehension, both theoretical and practical, of morality.”
—Alasdair Chalmers MacIntyre (b. 1929)
