Believe it or not I only saw it in the last 2 or 3 years. I don’t think I’d seen any of the final series where they brought it back. Just wasn’t as good. But the ending, well that was an unexpected way to go! I was watching it thinking… I don’t believe it!
My plan is to create a poll that includes every character that received more than one nomination. Because the option limit in polls is 50, my goal is to reach that number of double submissions.
Because we’re still a little short, let’s open it up a bit.
So, everyone gets 2 more selections. I will post the poll when we reach 50.
Veronica Palmer (Portia de Rossi) - Better Off Ted
Lilith Sternin (Bebe Neuwirth) - Cheers and Frasier
Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell) - The Good Place
April Ludgate (Aubrey Plaza) - Parks and Recreation
Sophia Petrillo (Estelle Getty) - The Golden Girls
Runner up only because I expect no one else will nominate her anyway - Bebe Glazer (Harriet Sansom Harris) - Frasier’s agent in a recurring role
Also, when I was preparing my list, I was surprised by the number of times when a show I loved had multiple great candidates. The cast of The Golden Girls and one other person would be a perfectly creditable pick. The Good Place could fill out a whole card including recurring characters. It seems like when a show wrote one great woman character, they almost inevitably had several more.
