The spinoff show "Rhoda" was not number 1, was it?

 

I used to watch re-runs before going to work on 4x12 shifts.  Great show imo.

And Hillary Brooks!

 

And Stinky, Mike the Cop, Mr. Bacciagalupe.... all-star supporting cast. Even Bingo the Chimp.

He's hilarious, no doubt. But technically he's the feature of the show (per the OP) -- which I only bring up as an excuse to talk more about it because I love that show :lol:  Speaking only about their (McBride/Hill's) trilogy, which is littered with a bunch of amazing/hilarious side characters, it might be hard to top this one: 

 

Will Ferrell In Eastbound And Down GIFs | Tenor

 

He just chewed the scenery (in the best way) in the very few episodes he was in :lol: 

 

The only one who comes close to topping him for me, and it's only because she too doesn't qualify as a side character since she's a Gemstone, would be her:

the righteous gemstones | Tumblr

 

She cracked me up that entire season.

Actually, I went a little overboard it seems.  It was that wedding episode that was the most watched show of the 70s until Roots, and the 2nd most watched ever - after Little Ricky being born.

 

But, the series was #6 and #7 in it's first two seasons.

Dee from "What's Happenin"

Ron Swanson from "Parks and Rec"

Pam from "Archer"

And it's not a comedy, but the guy who played "Q" on that Star Trek series was really funny

All the McPoyles

Dr. Girlfriend, Brock Samson, and Dr. Henry Killinger (Venture Brothers).  Honestly there are so many secondary characters from that show that are great even though you hardly see them.  Shore Leave for example. Also Hunter Gathers and Colonel Gentleman.

Luther Van Dam - "Coach"

 

 

 

Took me awhile to figure it out but did you know the guy that played Dauber on that show also does the voice of Patrick on Spongebob?

Is Patrick to popular to be underrated? That ***** cracks me up....

Only lasted a couple of years and probably one of the most ridiculous shows ever made but it had its moments... liked Gus on a lot of them.

 

 

I almost used Get a Life but didn’t think anyone would know it. I used to love that show!! I even bought the DVDs ???
