Default Name 2 TV shows you would have liked a lot more if it wasn't for a Supporting

Character?

I would have liked Welcome Back Kotter a lot more if it wasn;t for Mr. Kotter's wife and I would have liked Good Times a lot more if it wasn;t for the character Penny.

Oh crap, this was a 20 year Dude bump up. I thought it was new. I wouldn’t have responded if I’d noticed.

I'll add my 2 cents. I agree, I didn't find too much chemistry between Julie and Gabe Kotter. Didn't seem like a believable couple. And she was just kind of there. Very bland, not a great actress.

In defense of Dues, at least it's an OK topic to bump up. Not a useless thread that nobody would have any interest in.

I never liked Aunt Fran on Mama's family. I was glad when the show got revised and she was no longer on. Nor did I like Buzz and Sonia that much either. I loved the Iola and Bubba years. They were such good additions to the show.

Also I couldn't stand the older daughter on Father knows best.

I'm thinking I've read Rue McClanahan didn't like the Fran part.

Also I'm with you, Bonnie. I liked the later years of MF a lot more than the first two seasons.

And, Betty on FKB: I disliked the character. In the first year she was a ditzy teen, and they morphed her into a self-satisfied snot. And she was downright mean and a snob to her cousin who visited from the farm.

Also, adding two:

Maggie on Diff'rent Strokes--Dixie Carter established the role, and Mary Ann Mobley just didn't fit it in the last season.

Also, on Laverne and Shirley, I could have done without Phil Foster's shouted role as Laverne's father.

I don't really like the Baldwin sisters on The Waltons

I don't care for Phyllis or Murray on Mary Tyler Moore .
