The only thing more frustrating than having a favorite series that the rest of your friends aren't up on is having a favorite television character that doesn't get his or her props. Whether the character is the pinch hitter on a sitcom that needs and deserves a bigger fanbase, or the character is a constant source of complaint from a current hit's audience, these are the characters who we appreciate for keeping us in stitches even when it seems like everyone else, audience or Emmy Committee, is laming out on them. These are the 25 Most Underrated Sitcom Characters of All Time.
