And these are characters that added nothing to the series when they appeared on it:My choices-1)Warren-"The Andy Griffith Show"-Didn't last too long. 2)Billy Lewis on ABC's episodes of "Matlock" 3)Ronnie-That surly,dour,friend of Mark,on the next to last season of "Home Improvement"-Didn't last too long.4)Olivia,the obnoxious little kid on the final seasons of "The Cosby Show" and 5)that little ,obnoxious,VERY rude, bratty classmate of Michelle,named Aaron in the next to last season of "Full House"-He didn't last too long,either.Questions:1)Did anyone actually LIKE #'s 3,4,and 5?I sure didn't.And Question #2-Know of any OTHER "Excess Baggage"characters?

And one more excess baggage character was Emily,the cleaning lady on the last season(1970-1971)of "Family Affair".

In the last couple of seasons, Dharma and Greg had some excess baggage characters:

The Asian friend
The wimpy friend who let everyone walk all over her

Mabel the mail carrier, Ed's daughter Sharon, and some of the "fiancees" on Chico and the Man.
