Is this an appropriate moment to say that I never liked Seinfeld... because of Jerry Seinfeld. The other characters were mostly brilliant as UCL points out.

But none of them close to as funny as Larry (or the other characters) in Curb Your Enthusiasm though.

Ron Swanson really deserves his own show - he's definitely the best part of Parks and Rec.

On a more serious note, I'll add most of the characters from Firefly - particularly Capt. Malcolm Reynolds, Jayne Cobb, and "Wash."

Spoilers: only watch if you've seen Firefly.

Leon from "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

I agree Ron Swanson is the best character on Parks & Rec, but it's really a good show. Some of the other characters are good, too, but I'm disappointed when there's an episode without much Ron.
