Yes yes-i have to agree with you when you said Phoebe is one the worst supporting characters on friends. She does not blend in with Rachel or Monica and she looks ten years older than all the others.

Lucille Ball was never a supporting actress in her sitcoms. I recall in all of her shows that she was the lead actress.

John Burns was the most sentimental and interesting character in Taxi's first season...and Diane is NOT A SUPPORTING CHARACTER!!! She held the show...it was hers, case closed. She deserved 1,000 emmy awards.

John Lovitz played Max, who replaced Phil Hartman's Character Bill McNeal.

Actually I like all these characters. IMO they were all good. Especially Aunt Esther."Haaa Glory" LOL. Lana was good too. I loved how she would say Jack's name. The Grandparents brought the history balance to the show. However it's cool to hear different opinion. LOL.
