Matt Dillon needs to be in the top 10.

I would have chosen Chris Lloyd over Danny DeVito.

Unlike most people, I couldn't stand Seinfeld, so I would replace George Costanzo with the Coach from Cheers.

What's up with Ed Norton at #2 with Ralph Cramden all the way down at #14?

Ed Norton got all the awards, kinda like Barney Fife on Andy Griffith.

I wasn't a big Taxi fan, but my impression is that Danny DeVito's character was sort of an on-the-job version of Archie Bunker.

I think the best character on that program was Rev. Jim.......

I beg your pardon but The Avengers was not some ‘obscure’ show from the 1960’s. It was outstanding television of the kind that is completely extinct today.

With Festus not too far behind.

And Laura Petrie is a much more interesting character than Mary Richards.

I would put Barney Fife #1 and Ed Norton #2 as the greatest supporting characters of all time.

We could start by putting Al Bundy on that lofty perch.

I always thought that Jackie Gleason made the show.

I also noticed that Bob Newhart isn't on the list for either show and he should have been for both.

All in all, a pathetic listing. Seems to prefer obnoxiousness.

No Latka Gravis or Vic Ferrari ? The entire casts of Taxi, WKRP, and Night Court deserve mention.

Festus, Chester, Miss Kitty all should be in top 50.
