That show for me would be That's My Mama-Main character-"Clifton"

Will and Grace - Both of them are boring, I like to watch the show occasionally cause of the other characters, not Will or Grace they bore me.

I totally agree. I find Grace kind of annoying. The two supporting characters are much funnier.

I'm not really a fan of Grace (nor Karen) on Will & Grace, but I think Will is hysterical. (as is Jack)

I agree - Jack is the true star of the show.

And of all of them on Seinfeld, I'd have to say Jerry was the most boring. I know even though he was the comedian, he played the straight man, but the rest of the cast were just more interesting.

As much as I love the Nanny, I have to say that Fran never really appealed to me. I loved Niles and CC better.

I asked what show do you like a lot because of a certain Supporting Character. You mentioned Will and I said he is not a supporting character.

Ohhh. That makes sense.

Nothing really. As TripperFan mentioned, Jerry was the weakest character of the four on Seinfeld, but I still found him very funny.

Sam was at the bottom of the list of characters I liked on Cheers, but I still found him to be very funny.

Michael is, IMO, the least funny Bluth on Arrested Development, but I still find him hilarious.

Joe & Brian were pretty good on Wings, but the supporting characters stole the show.

After a bunch of stalling, I finally found a series....
The Andy Griffith Show. I found Andy Taylor to be a boring character, Barney Fife was most definitely the only reason I ever turned into this show. A few other characters had their moments, but Don Knotts ruled this series.

That reminds me of Gabe Kaplin. He was the worst actor on "Welcome Back, Kotter". He seemed to just shout his lines. He was fine in the beginning and end of each episode, telling his jokes. But when it came to Kotter's interactions with the sweathogs, he was the worst actor.

I also agree with Seinfeld, although him not being a great actor kind of made him funnier. I mean, it wouldn't be the same if he was a an great actor.

Totally agree with WBK, he wasn't funny at all, also a lot of bad acting on that show

This is easy for me.........Alice from "Alice"

God, was she the most boring lead character I ever seen! I hated her character! She was too goody-good. I love the show, but I didn't like her. She had an excellent supporting cast that carried her show. I still say this show could have went on without her. Vic Tayback would have made an excellent lead.
