Which one-shot characters do you wish you saw more of? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was thinking of this when finishing up S3 and seeing Anne Adams (Louise Lasser) and rather liking her. So that's my initial choice. What are yours?

He wasn't a "one shot" as I think he appeared twice, but I always got a kick out of "Armand Linton"!

I loved Mr. & Mrs. Armand Linton!! Poor Rhoda.

I would pick "Eric Shrimp".

Mary's Mom, Dottie. (Although she appeared twice). Or atleast I wish it was explained whatever happened to Mary's parents, they just disappeared!

Yeah, Eric was the first person I thought of when I saw this thread. Armand comes back later, in "Don't Break the Chain." I remember b/c he kept reminding everybody he was divorced, LOL. It might've been fun to see more of Ted's brother, Hal. Although having 2 Baxters around would prob. have gotten old pretty quickly!

I liked the Barbara Sharma character the feep as Rhoda called her,she was a disaster at everything.(Barbara went on to play Mryna on Rhoda)
I'd also liked to have seen Phyllis' brother Ben make another return appearance,he could have guested on "Phyllis" but in the pilot,Phyllis says her only relatives apart from Bess,are her mother in law Audrey and her new husband Jonathon.

I never thought about Ben, when Phyllis said she didn't have any other relatives. Just like Rhoda's sister, Debbie suddenly didn't exist when Rhoda started, Ben had the same fate when Phyllis was laun

ched!

Oh, gosh, how could I have forgotten Ben?? That episode with him was great.

Kristen · 08-26-2009, 11:13 PM

Can you imagine what would've happened if Ben had shown up with a boyfriend?!

Would've been a funny ep. (Yeah, I know I'm borrowing the idea from Golden Girls, LOL.)

what about the henry winkler character who had to sit up near the balcony during dinner? it might have been fun to watch him play off rhoda for a few more episodes!
but, then again, maybe that would have meant we would have missed out on "the fonz"!

Henry also had great guest spots on Rhoda and The Bob Newhart Show. His BNS appearance as a criminal was especially hilarious.

Cloud9 Lorraine · 08-27-2009, 09:06 PM

I was dying to see Lars.

Not really a one shot character since we never saw him.

Kristen · 08-27-2009, 09:08 PM

I remember him on Rhoda as a real-estate agent. I half-expected Rhoda to recognize him! LOL When was he on TBNS? I must've forgotten that!

He was in an episode in the second season called "Clink Shrink". It's a hilarious episode and he's hilarious in it.
