This was a rather hard list to make as I had to go with the characters rather than the series as a whole. Thus, favorites such as MAMA'S FAMILY, ROSEANNE, DESIGNING WOMEN and THE GOLDEN GIRLS surprisingly (to myself) didn't make the cut. Here goes:

Maude Findlay (Bea Arthur - MAUDE)
Cassie Cranston (Ann Jillian - IT'S A LIVING)
Maggie McBurney (Louise Lasser - MAKING A LIVING)
Hazel Burke (Shirley Booth - HAZEL)
Ginny Wrobliki (Mary-Louise Wilson - ONE DAY AT A TIME)
Flo Castleberry (Polly Holliday - ALICE/FLO)
Brenda Morgenstern (Julie Kavner - RHODA)
Vivian Buchanan (Harriet Samson-Harris - THE 5 MRS. BUCHANANS)
Serena (Elizabeth Montgomery - BEWITCHED)
Sylvia Fine (Renee Taylor - THE NANNY)

As I looked this list over I realized a lot of my favorite ladies are scene-stealing supporting characters.
