I'm going the other way around on Julia Louis Dreyfus. I enjoyed her on TNAOOC but hated her on Seinfeld.

I agree. And I liked Betty White in The Golden Girls, but couldn't stand her on Mama's Family.

I lIked Rue McCalhann on The Golden Girls but I thought she was too stupid on Maude. I liked Kate Walsh on The Practice but not Bad Judge. I loved watching Married with Children but I think I like Ed O'Neil better on Moddern Family. Charlee Scheen much better on 2 and A half men but not on Anger Management. I don't know if it's just the charactor or what but I like Patricia Heaton better on The Middle then Everybody Loves Raymond. I like Melissa McCarty better on Mike and Molly then The Gilmore Girls. I like Swooie Kurts better on Sisters then Mike and Molly. Maybe it's just her charactor. I've only seen the show once because it just started but I like Laurie metcalf better on Rosanne then The McCarthies. But I love her as Sheldon'
s mother on The Big Bang Theroy.

I also prefer Ed O'Neil on Modern Family. Looking back on Married with Children now, he is better in the former.

Honestly as far as Angie Harmon goes, I think her character on Law And Order is almost exactly like her character on Rizzoli And Isles. I really don't see much difference. But I like both of them. Just my opinion.

This is not a case of dislike, but I liked Laura Petrie more than Mary Richards. And if 30 year time gaps are permissible, there's the matter of virginal Barbara Cooper vs slutty Melanie Moretti, in which I would have to favor Barb.
