haha
so true, so true

I also like all the supporting characters on The Dick Van Dyke Show, Mary Tyler Moore and Seinfeld.

In fact -- on MTM and Seinfeld -- every single supporting character was better than the lead.

karen walker and jack mcfarland have to be the ultimate current supporting characters on tv...they make will and grace the CURRENT best sitcom on nbc...

Phoebe and Joey...i know it was an ensemble but even in the finale they sort of helped the couples with the main story ...ie the babies and the reconcilation...they were limited because they were never a couple...we won't discuss the whole Joey/Rachel mess.P/J would have made a great couple

Agnes Di Pesto ....moonlighting

any of the butlers or maids...Florence the jeffersons, Niles on the Nanny, and of course.....Benson

Helen and Stanley Roper....threes company

gale gordon....any of the lucy shows and vivian vance
