Ok, I’ll go ahead and pick. I seem to be having a harder time making deep lists for supporting actors compared to the lead categories, so I’ll take an all timer here. Yo Mama selects:
5.16 - George Costanza / Art Vandelay - 1991-2020 Supporting Man
An iconic character who turned the stand-up comic title character into the straight man. Too many classic moments to list out but here are some accolades:
- 7 Emmy supporting actor nominations
- 4 golden globe nominations in same category
- In typical George fashion, he never won any of them, but he is constantly listed in numerous all time lists for best sidekick and best sitcom characters (lead or supporting)
A true all time character.

While we’re on the topic of iconic supporting characters, I’ll double up with another classic. Yo Mama selects:
6.01 - Barney Fife - 1950-1970 Supporting Man
Barney Fife won 5 emmys for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series - the most ever in that category.
Barney Fife left the legacy of becoming synonymous with an incompetent local cop. Funny wiki info:
”Calling a police officer or authority figure "Barney Fife" has become an American slang term for gross ineptitude or overzealousness. A notable example occurred during the Scott Peterson case, in which the defendant's mother referred to the local police captain as "Barney Fife."
During oral arguments for the Supreme Court case Herring v. United States regarding evidence exclusion by negligent law enforcement, Stanford law professor Pamela Karlan told the court, "There’s not a Barney Fife defense to the violation of the Fourth Amendment."

Funny, I almost went with Draper over Fife, would have been a bad snipe if I was doing my write up for this one.

Just clearing up the pick -- it's the character that gets selected, not the actor/actress per Tim. If people see picks rendered this way, it could cause confusion, especially about what characters have been picked already ("Hey, that actor was already picked!" "Doesn't matter -- different character.").

I was confused here too because on the spreadsheet it specifically says actress. So, I listed both.

Oh ... I see. Gotta ask @AAABatteries about that. Nevertheless, let me pull Tim's quote about this.The "flag" says "actor/actress"

It’s character not actor

Sorry - that category can be ignored - I was just filling it in based on the template we had from the Movie Draft. I will try to update to make it more accurate.

Mrs. R timed out, so I'll pick.
6.07 - The Flintstones - Animated Show
Give me the first prime-time, adult-oriented animated show that ran for six seasons in the 1960's, whose reruns became beloved to kids in the 70's and 80's.
From wiki: The Flintstones was the most financially successful and longest-running network animated television series for three decades, until The Simpsons, which debuted in late 1989, outlasted it. In 2013, TV Guide ranked The Flintstones the second-greatest TV cartoon of all time

6.09 Twin Peaks- Horror/Supernatural
Rolling Stone magazine ranked it #1... the write up follows:
"Who killed Laura Palmer?” It was the driving question behind David Lynch and Mark Frost’s small-town murder masterpiece, but the answer was never going to be a matter of a simple whodunit. Laura’s death, like her life, concealed an ocean of evil beneath the surface — specifically, a group of terrifying supernatural entities hailing from another place called the Black Lodge. They were personified by a being called Bob: Played by set dresser turned actor Frank Silva, this cackling, shrieking demon’s long gray hair and denim jacket gave him the appearance of a metalhead crank dealer — the sight of him crawling through the Haywards’ living room toward the camera might be the single scariest scene ever shown on television. (Try not to cringe away from your screen as you watch it. You can’t.) Then came Lynch and Frost’s 2017 Twin Peaks: The Return, which introduced us to an ash-covered Woodsman and his eternal question (“Got a light?”) and tied the horror into a historical moment. But through all the surreal, red-curtained quirkiness, the show never lost sight of the human suffering at the heart of madness-infected Americana. It’s what continues to make Twin Peaks the all-time television terror champion.
