Thumbs up Sitcom characters you wish had their own show...

What past or current sitcom characters do you wish had their own show? Characters that made the show they were/are on so much better. Characters that should have a spinoff from the shows they are on...

For example:
Latka Gravas(Taxi)
Roz Doyle(Frasier)
Cliff Clavin(Cheers)

I think Janet and Jack on Three's company should have had their own show after three's company ended. They should have gotten together and they had another spinoff with a different title. It would have been a great dynasty for these two characters-i'm sured it would have lasted until the 90's-The chemistry between janet and jack was great

And i think Theo from the Cosby Show should have his own show after grdauating college in the last episode.

I was thinking that Laurie Metcalfe (Roseanne) could have had her own sitcom but I have changed my mind. She IS Jackie Harris to me and it would not have been as funny without Roseanne. Even though I think she is a good comedic actress!

Ralph Wiggum from The Simpsons should have his own show. He's so funny! "Me fail English? That's unpossible!"

I think it could have worked without Roseanne. Just have the show be about Jackie and her mother Bev.
