I will have to say Monroe and Rosalee from Grimm. If there's going to be a spin-off of Grimm I think they would be entertaining to see them being the main focus.

his is not working right was wrong on that day is really bad Do the top 10 best Tom Kenny voice roles 11 days ago You forgot Karen Walker from Will and Grace, she was the one who stole the show. Each had much potential As much as I love Chris from Everybody Hates Chris, I would love a Greg or Tasha spin-off or to some extent, a Caruso spin-off. Greg comes from a divorced family and while we do see his dad in one episode, I would love to see more of his relationship with his father. Tasha’s parents are ex-cons and lives with her grandmother. While Caruso does redeem himself in Season 4, I would love to see his home life and this is not to excuse his actions towards Chris. A Doc spin-off, even. Willow in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Also, Gabrielle in Xena. Tom Paris in Star Trek: Voyager. B'lanna Torres, also in Star Trek: Voyager. Deanna Troi in Star Trek: TNG. Sabine Wren in Star Wars: Rebels. Sylvie in Loki. Brock Samson The Venture Bros. (2004-2018) As Hank and Dean were a great focus point Brock Samson was the MVP of this Adult Swim series at least It won't get rebooted like Doc Hammer and Jackson Public stated years ago Naya miss you rest easy and peacefully 🩵Santana to be the main. Ofc she is 100% interesting and relatable, and she definitely needed a bigger part in the show, but if I need to pick someone else is not over is not Rachel, is Kurt being to her not nice was her sidekick all along, and yes he has his own storyline, but from a certain point, it became Blaine/Klaine and less of Kurt's individuality. But I completely agree that Santana's storyline is amazing and should've been shown more deeply "Jack and Karen" is so much better than "Will and Grace" Santana Lopez Interesting… I remember reading an article around the time Parks & Rec and Community first came out proclaiming Ron and Abed were the best new characters on TV that year Barney Stinson. Happy Tuesday afternoon, Sophia, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well The show of Will and Grace should have been called Jack and Karen, Agreed, Santana ruled Glee (RIP Naya), and Dawson's Creek should have been called Pacey's Creek. Maybe it's because I haven't watched How I Met Your Mother, but I always thought Barney was the main character Stiles is a common agreement! He was WAY BETTER than Scott and stole the show anyway The funny thing is... Hurley was the main character the whole time. They just didn't reveal it until the end. I know it's not a live-action TV show, but I'll consider Masataka Takayanagi from the anime Tenjho Tenge for a list like this one The show might be named "Frasier" but the star is Niles in the audience's hearts and as for Ted Mosby, that guy was a jerk that you put up with because Barney Stinson was so entertaining. I still wish HIMYM hadn't ruined the entire series with that awful finale. the only acceptable answer to this question is Dr. Lisa Cuddy from House Hurley? Are you kidding Johnny Sac from "The Sopranos" Santana was the different side of the Rachel coin and it makes me so mad that people love her but hate Rachel. When SOMETIMES Santana was even worse. My least favorite character in the show. I wish people would stop praising her. Samantha Jones - Sex and the City Opie over Jax is that a joke Yo Stiles was the unofficial star of Teen Wolf. Pacey Dawson Bajaj the janitor was a stretch The Karen and Jack show should have been a thing. ON "The Good Wife" There was the assistant played by an actress Archie P ????. She was the best part of the show. What about Lucinda the little witch from Sofia the First and Princess Isabel from Elena of Avalor I would've sold my soul for a Spike spinoff. Anyone who isn’t Emily in ”Emily in Paris”. Jack McFarland and Karen Walker weren't meant to be stars. they were basically extreme versions of will & grace. Jack and Karen together were even funnier. I didn't care for Kramer. I didn't think he was that funny. (Not bad enough to make the show unwatchable) And the best line was not about pretzels, but came from Seinfeld himself: "I don't want to be a pirate!" Santana 🩵& Schmidt the only show I can agree to is Glee because Rachel was an awful MC. I don't know Teen Wolf, Will & Grace, Sons of Anarchy, Parks and Recreation, and The Wire. so I don't write about them anything. but for the other Shows, I can't really agree because the mentioned Characters worked so well because they were supporting Characters for the actual MC. im not sure if they would work as MCs as well. especially not the Janitor and Abed. and there was even an episode where the Janitor was the MC. Opie from SoA was complete in the serial, what else do add? Legion - Kerry and Cary Loudermilk Dawson’s Creek Pacey Witter. I hate to say it, But it is true. Barney Stinson. felt more like the (Real) main character than Ted in "How I Meet Your Mother" plus he was like everybody's hero. Even if did terrible things, But is honest about them, unlike, Ted. One thing I hate about Glee is what they did with Melissa Benoist's character Baby Yoda? Bunnie Rabbot and Tails "Sonic the Hedgehog" (1993) Hated the Leon black character on the curb Anyone else but Rachel should have been the main character on Glee. She's as insufferable as the actress that plays her. Eric from sex education, Amy Brooklyn 99 I thought Abed and all of the other characters were main characters.

[@userofinternetmorepending6296]

Santana, Jack and Ron made their respective shows infinitely better.

[@mutantx2372]

I definitely agree with #10. The show had Tyler Posey as the lead which was kind of a big deal being that he's Latino but fans just LOVED Stiles a little more. I like to think that Stiles was the Xander Harris of Teen Wolf.

[@khendralibbey617]

It’s because Dylan is just such an awesome actor. There is a reason that he is arguably, the most popular actor of all of the younger teen wolf actors.

[@thaboiinblue]

While I agree Santana Lopez should have been the lead, I personally would have mentioned Mercedes Jones as deserving to be her bff/deuteragonist. The two of them together performed AMAZINGLY and their friendship and on-screen chemistry were epic.

[@trassaya]

I always wanted Santana, Brittany, Kurt and Blaine to be the four leads, in their own Spinoff. It would have been so much more entertaining than The Rachel Show (otherwise known as Glee).

[@userofinternetmorepending6296]

@@trassaya Someone really should've written that spin-off 😭😭

[@Buffy8Fan]

Got to be careful with this idea. Some characters are great because they weren't the leads and/or their show's center. Also, being a main character with an ensamble is differn't to being the main character and both are different to a full on ensemble show with no (or not as noticable, in some cases) main character.

[@beccabex321]

I don't know, I think a lot of these characters are so beloved specifically because of the writing freedom that comes with NOT being the main character. Particularly the ones who start as antagonists and are slowly developed into protagonists.

I feel the reasoning of the list is a bit flawed because I don't think the main character isn't someone who is more funny or interesting. It's who moves the story along .

[@thaboiinblue]

Bonnie Bennett from The Vampire Diaries should have been on this list or at least mentioned.

[@eynatmeir5054]

It's such an interesting choice to choose Santana to be the main. Ofc she is 100% interesting and relateable, and she definitely needed a bigger part in the show, but if I need to pick someone else over Rachel, it'd be Kurt. Kurt was her sidekick all along, and yes he has his own storyline, but from a certain point, it became Blaine/Klaine and less of Kurt's individuality. But I completely agree that Santana's storyline is amazing and should've been showed more deeply❤️

I feel like Wendell & Vinnie WAS a Spencer spin-off in everything but character name. And in retrospect, feels like a prototype of the iCarly revival considering how PG-13 the show was. And it was confusing that it was airing on main Nick AND Nick@Nite at the same time.

a parameter to this list should have been not including shows with ensemble casts cause on shows like that there ~usually~ isn’t a main character(s) as the show is about the complete ensemble (like GoT for example). there’s side characters from ensembles that may not get as much screen time but they’re still essential to the story: using GoT again for example, Varys and Littlefinger.
