    In no particular order...

    - Homer Simpson
    - Bill McNeal
    - George Costanza
    - Selina Meyer
    - Lenny Briscoe

    McNeal is probably the flimsiest one, but christ, Hartman was so fucking good.

    Hard to separate the character from the performance. But I do think of shows that wouldn't have existed been/been worth watching without them. Another one.

    Fun to think about the great shows and the characters who were indispensable to their success. (Leads excepted) A few of the previous shows mentioned:
    Mad Men: Peggy Olson
    Agree with Fever and WKRP
    All in the Family: Edith
    Mary Tyler Moore: Lou Grant
    Sons of Anarchy: Gemma
    The Shield: Wyms

    And pretty much every character played by Andre Braugher
