Ted Danson (And Shelley Long the first five seasons.) may have gotten top billing on Cheers, but even as a child, I assumed that Norm was the main Character and that the theme song was actually about him.
Danny DeVito and Christopher Lloyd are the only two who really made Taxi worth watching, as far as I’m concerned. I never cared for Tony Danza or Andy Kaufman and the rest of the characters were just… there, in my opinion.
Alan Alda got top billing on the cast of MASH and then got increasingly more involved behind the scenes as the show went on. The show was originally supposed to be more of an ensemble before quickly starting to revolve around Hawkeye. But I think that McLean Stevenson as Henry Blake is who really made the show its first three seasons. I also think Wayne Rogers was better than Alan Alda and Trapper should have remained as Hawkeye’s equal. David Ogden Stiers as Major Charles Emerson Winchester III is the main reason why I even watch any episodes from the last six seasons.
Dr. Cox was the real star of Scrubs.
