    I know you said no Taxi, but 1978 is close enough for me. I think Rev. Jim and Louie De Palma are two of the greatest sitcom characters ever. Sorry for breaking the rules. I'll go sit in the corner now.

    Peter Boyle on "Everybody Loves Raymond" stole every scene he was in.

    Well, at least we got two women nominated. That's more than I expected from GBNF.

    If it's 30 years (as it says on top of the poll), then a double vote for Latka Gravas and Jim Ignatowski.

    (Go ahed and wikipedia search them, you deprived youngsters).

    Frank is the funnier Costanza.

    Nobody makes me laugh harder than Sean Garrity.
