    I liked Evening Shade. That show could have lasted a few more seasons.

    You should ask the 8-ball what to do next. ;D

    That is some great info. I would think the Costanzas would have been in a lot more episodes.

    Jerry's dad was different in season 1 (pilot?)

    What started out as a great little show turned so annoying, a little after Fonzie started wearing the leather jacket. Most annoying, to me, was how everybody had to have a catch phrase... Of course there was Fonzie's "Ayyyyyyy"... then Ralph and Potsie had "Sit on it"... Chachie had "WaaWaaWaa", Richie singing about Blueberry Hill when he made out with a chick... I am sure there were more, but the catch phrases killed me.

    And then the singing....

    Mine would be Brody, the guy who makes pirated movie copies; The Texan betting Kramer on flights at the airport; and Ned Isakoff, only because I laugh every single time I hear "They named names".

    Also, I loved that George started dating Susan again, after she was a lesbian, because "it didn't take."

    That's difficult. For 1-time appearances:

    The Doorman ("Are you the boyfriend, here for a quickie?")
    Shaky the mohel
    Bubble Boy

    I thought Puddy was in a lot more, too. Seemed like he was a regular for at least a few seasons. He packed a lot of classic moments into such a short time.

    That could be a spinoff thread, which guest stars or recurring actors made the most of their screen time.
