There are many ingredients that make up a great sitcom.  You always need a classic set of main characters to base the story on.  But you also need a great supporting staff.  Think about all the amazing side characters that Seinfeld had.  The show just wouldn’t have been as good if guys like Babu and the Soup Nazi weren’t on.

But I’m not just talking about that.  I’m also talking about recurring characters who appear on nearly every episode.  And whether they’re serious or funny, they have to be good.

One of those characters?  The dumb guy or girl.  Sometimes poking fun at these characters can take the show to new levels.  And I think that these 20 characters certainly fit that bill.  Put it this way, Kimmy Gibbler from Full House and Waldo from Family Matters are NOT good examples.

Here are 20 of television’s dumbest sitcom characters (that are actually funny).

If you really think about it, in the history of television there haven’t been too many moms that were incredibly hot.  And there’s just something special about knowing that while this woman is a responsible, caring guardian, that she could transform into a seductive cougar in about 2 minutes.

And that’s why I’ve decided to come up with this list.   Here are the rules though.  No daytime television.  Soap Operas don’t count.  All the women are way too hot so it’s void.  Also, no Univision.  There’s just too many hot chicks on that channel. We’re sticking to American Television here.  And we’re also sticking to prime time.

Here are my picks for the top 16 hottest prime time TV moms of all time.   P.S.  Thanks to my buddies Nick and Eds for the assist on some of these.

I think this question probably should have been brought up nearly two seasons ago in some circles, but given the fact that there was so much hype before this season I felt it would be appropriate to pose it now.

Is it time to hang it up on Entourage?  This season I’ve seen absolutely nothing.  Ari and Lloyd are the only good characters left and quite frankly the last episode is where I think I need to draw the line.  My only real highlights this season are Ari’s bitchslap and the 16 year old daughter telling Fran Drescher she was going to blow her boyfriend, but that’s about all I’ve seen.

Last week’s show:  Eric Roberts in a Winnebago taking the crew to the desert to eat shrooms to figure out if Vince should be in the movie Benji?  Really?  THIS was the plot?  Wow.  The only highlight of that show was Kate Morgan’s breasts making a cameo.

E was silent nearly the whole time which wasn’t funny.  Drama just isn’t funny anymore and his antics are just so played out.  Turtle is now just a chubby idiot and Ari still had his moments (namely bribing his son to not come home for 100 dollars).

If tonight’s show is as bad as last weeks it’s safe to say Entourage is banished from my television set.

Comments are welcome.

First of all I just want to mention how amazing a show “The Wonder Years” was.  To this day if there are any episodes lying around Nickelodeon or the ION network I end up taping them all.

It’s almost like I can feel like I’m in 6th-8th grade again.  Personally I think the later episodes were way worse than the first 3 seasons, but the show was still good.  It just happened to be better when Fred Savage was still a cute kid and not a gawky looking teen.

And who can ever forget Winnie?  What a little angel huh?  And isn’t Winnie Cooper such a perfect name for the girl you have a crush on in elementary school?   My crush was Chrissy Corbisiero.  That name sucks.

In any event, when you watch the shows again, it’s amazing how many stars appeared in episodes.  Here are 13 that you probably wouldn’t have guessed.
