Dr. Cox on Scrubs. While JD may be the star, I think Dr. Cox is what makes the show so great.

George Costanza: Seinfeld

Rhiannon · 04-16-2004, 11:40 PM

Abbey Bartlet (Stockard Channing) on The West Wing

dawsongirl · 04-17-2004, 02:26 AM

The entire adult cast of The Nanny.

Red and Kitty from That 70s Show, especially Red.

I agree.

David Hyde Pierce, "Niles Crane" on Frasier

John Mahoney, "Martin Crane" on Frasier

Rhea Perlman, "Carla Tortelli" on Cheers

John Alexander, "George Costanza" on Seinfeld

and most importantly....
George Wendt, "Norm Peterson" on Cheers

without these "non-starring" characters -- all of these shows would be dead.

they couldn't have replaced Ted Danson "Sam Malone," either

solomon said "no main characters"
so Sam doesnt count.

Ted Baxter on the Mary Tyler Moore Show was irreplaceable. I loved it when he was featured on the show.

DickSolomonFan · 04-17-2004, 03:01 PM

Don Orville on 3rd Rock. Of all Sally's boyfriends, he was the only one that was either likeable or funny. (He was both.) If Wayne Knight didn't get an emmy for that role, he should have. Of course, the show wouldn't have been the same without Sally, Harry, Tommy, Mary, or Nina either.

Also: Niles and C.C. on the Nanny, Ted Baxter on TMTMS, Niles, Martin and Eddy on Frasier, Uncle Fester on the Addams Family, and Bob, Jake, Linda, and Margaret on Becker. Even when just Bob left, it lost a lot of its punch.

I also didn't like it when they replaced Harriet on Family Matters with a new Harriet, but the show wasn't on long after that anyway, I don't think.

CarJackSnyder · 04-18-2004, 05:46 PM

Rhea Perlman, "Carla Tortelli" frum Cheers!!

Niles (Daniel Davis) on The Nanny. He is so funny, and he was BORN to play that role (Even if he isn't really British! LOL!) Ted Knight/Ted Baxter is also one, as well as Valerie Harper on MTMS.
