Name TV Show/Movies With Characters That Were So Unimportant That They Should Have Been Omitted

Tar, the kid

I just remembered- in Back To The Future- it was downright eccentric to have Wendi Jo Sperber and Marc McClure as the sister and brother of Michael J Fox. I always like Wendi but maybe it was part of the oddness of the whole movie.

Ritchie Cunningham's brother Chuck.

R3- They eventually came to their senses and eliminated a character that no one missed at all.

Will and Grace in Will & Grace

The show should have been called Jack & Karen

Carrie Ingalls from LHOTP. Did the twins who played her ever deliver more than a few monosyllables as lines?

R6- That's another good one. She was basically a prop like Tiger on The Brady Bunch.

Liam in SHAMELESS.

Well, the U.S. version. That's the only one I've seen. At least until Season 5. That's when I stopped watching. Did he become important after that?

He was just like a prop that everyone carried around. Even when he was past toddler age. He never cried or said much, which is unusual for a small child.

And why make him black? Was he just a token black character? It was so contrived how he was fully black but still the bio kid of Frank and Monica. Supposedly Frank's grandmother had an affair with a black musician, producing Frank's father, who apparently came out looking all white. Then the black genes skipped Frank, too, and Liam got it all. 🙄

Little Ricky

Zeppo Marx

TJ on Roseanne- the original show

It was DJ, OP

Nancy on Family. We would have been just fine without THAT one.

R13- Nancy's son was a prop and had no personality at all even in the last season.

John (Randall Carver) on "Taxi."

[quote] They eventually came to their senses and eliminated a character that no one missed at all.

You could say that about another family I can think of...

Chevy Chase on Saturday Night Live

Shia Labeouf in Constantine (2005). I've seen this movie countless times and I'm always surprised to see him. He is 100% forgettable and extraneous to the plot.

Jason Avery and Brian Cunningham on Knots Landing.

[quote]he two youngest kids Tracy and Chris Partridge- they were not much more than props.

Hey, fuck off! We're useful on a set, and often nice to look at as well!

The middle daughter played by Angela Cartwright in "Lost in Space."

R17 is Bill Murray.

Actually, R21, Angela Cartwright's Penny was often involved in storylines. Did you mean Judy, played by Marta Kristen, who was useless.

It’s the Dana Troll, rearing its ugly head again. Dana is not a superfluous character, Dana Troll.

R23- I agree

The ONLY thing she was good at was looking pretty and having the WELL HUNG Mark Goddard console her when she was scared just like Ann Romano on ODAAT-

David HOLD ME

[R23] No no no. Judy Robinson was necessary to keep hunky Major Don West from getting it on with hunky Professor Robinson because we know that his wife Maureen wasn’t giving him any. And Dr Smith being a bossy bottom would have wanted to be the meat in their sandwich!!

Seven on Married With Children

R25, Mark Goddard lives in my town here in Massachusetts. Is he really well hung?

Penny had a lot of storylines in season one (remember that weird pet monkey). But once the series became the Will/Dr. Smith/Robot show, everybody else became an afterthought.

The black guy who was in the opening credits of Gilmore Girls. I believe he was a hotel clerk at Lorelai's hotel. I don't recall him having any significant involvement in a storyline. Also two of Rory's roommates at Yale were just props.

Little Ricky figure into the plot of several episodes of I Love Lucy. He was not extraneous or expendable.

Patty Petersen on “The Donna Reed Show”.

Those guys in the background on the Mary Tyler Moore show.

About 3/4 of the sisters on "Eight is Enough." I had so much trouble differentiating among them except for Joanie and the gravelly voiced eldest one.

[quote]The Partridge Family - The two youngest kids Tracy and Chris Partridge- they were not much more than props.

You wouldn't say that if you ever heard Tracy's blistering tambourine solos.

R5 totally disagree. A little of them went a long way and they were much better as supporting characters.

R34- MUCH more so than that show the first season of The Fact Of Life

BOY oh BOY were most of those girls SUPERFLOUS

Coco from "Golden Girls"!!! Oh, wait. He was omitted.

Anthony Hopkins in The Son (2022). His long scene added nothing of value to the film, just extended the badness of the film to run on for longer than it needed to.

The parents of Brenda and Brandon on BH 90210. The producers eventually realized, so they were eliminated.

Dafuq? You think two 16 year olds should've moved from Minneapolis to LA on their own?

Natalie Green

Vanessa on the Cosby Show

G in everything she's been in. Irrelevant to the point of non- existence

Potsie on Happy Days

[quote]Those guys in the background on the Mary Tyler Moore show.

Incidentally, who was the cute blonde guy? He often caught my eye.

R45 No way! Potsie was eye candy. I thought he was the cutest of them all, with Richie being second.

R46, this is the man you’re referring to - J Benjamin Chulay. His character’s name was Pete. The actor’s father was the assistant director on the show.

Victoria Jackson on Saturday Night Live

R48 - He looks like Toby Jones.

R48 Thanks!

I see he has worked mainly as an editor. I'm glad to hear that. For the longest time, I felt bad for him. 😂 I figured he was an aspiring actor who didn't succeed in the business, because I didn't see him in anything else. But since his father was the assistant director, he most likely did it as a favor to his dad and probably was not comfortable being in front of the camera.

50 replies and no mention of Tina Yothers' Jennifer Keaton, who after going through one of the grisliest puberties ever recorded, spent the last five seasons saying, "I'll go check on Andy" and then exiting the kitchen.

Ed McMahon

Little Ricky was there as the result of Lucille Ball getting pregnant and having her pregnancy written into the show. If she hadn't gotten pregnant, Lucy Recardo wouldn't have, and Little Ricky wouldn't have been there. As it was, they sometimes made good use of the character, but they had little choice.

[quote] spent the last five seasons saying, "I'll go check on Andy" and then exiting the kitchen.

LOL! So true.

Currently, Ned Quartermaine on General Hospital. I don’t know why he’s still there.

Winnie Freedman in Joanie Last he’s Chachi. There were enough untalented actors on that show without adding a fugly one.

Just for you, R57! Winnie (post-JLC) as a hapless, first-day ice cream parlor employee on TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes, with DL icon, Lisa Whelchel.

Felix Lightner in any Bond movie.

Butterfly McQueen as Lottie in Mildred Pierce. I'm glad she's there but why she's there, I'm not sure.

[quote]Joanie Last he’s Chachi

This is a great typo --> Joanie Last, He's Chachi.

Every time I watch Mildred Pierce, I'm surprised that Butterfly McQueen is in it. You're right, R60: totally superfluous.

Vicki on The Love Boat was a baffling addition. First of all, adults always think kids want to watch other kids in movies and TV, but they don't. Kids want to identify with and pretend to be adults, who can actually do things. Secondly, The Love Boat's audience was already mostly kids and old people anyway - who else is home on Saturday night? So adding Vicki accomplished nothing.

Jake and Henry on "Reba."

Eight is Enough = Eight is TOO MUCH.

The Nicholas character was frippery. He was an irritating distraction. Tommy should've been the youngest, as a teenager.

Nancy was window dressing. Why was she there, other than being the pretty one? She washed her hair with a can of beer, her main character trait.

Joanie and Susan were redundant. Both were off beat. Joanie was the actress in Sacramento, CA. She should've been in LA or NYC. She wasn't needed.

David should've been eliminated. Again, what was his purpose, other than being the oldest sibling? He didn't look like the others.

Auntie V should've have been a permanent cast member. Janis Paige is a delightful actress.

Also, Abby's obsession about her car named "Gwendolyn", was over the top.

Half the kids on The Waltons

The older brother on Happy Days

R60, Butterfly received no billing, either in the opening or closing credits.

And “Mildred Pierce” was six years after “GWTW”.

The Brady Bunch:

Cindy: She was a lisping, cloying, annoying character with those stupid pig tails.

Bobby: He wasn't necessary. Eliminating him would've given more screen time for Jan and Marsha. Their interactions were hilarious.

I liked Alice; she was the best character. Ann B. Davis stole the show.

R67 That's a shame, but many of the smaller-role actors in Mildred Pierce didn't get billing, including the actors who played Ted Forrester and his mother. Also, there are no closing credits in the film other than "The End". Here are the opening credits.

Sondra - The Cosby Show

R64 Well, it was based on a book by journalist Tom Braden, and he had eight kids. Braden was later the co-host of CNN's Crossfire, with Pat Buchanan, where Braden (liberal) and Buchanan (conservative) debated various issues nightly.

Mama Corleone (Morgana King) was basically a prop. In a nearly 3h film I don't remember her saying a thing. I don't think she had any scenes with Brando and unless I'm mistaken, she isn't in the film after the first 1h hour. She's wallpaper.

[quote] 50 replies and no mention of Tina Yothers' Jennifer Keaton, who after going through one of the grisliest puberties ever recorded, spent the last five seasons saying, "I'll go check on Andy" and then exiting the kitchen.

Someone else mentioned Victoria Jackson on SNL, and mostly I agree. But one of the funniest things SNL ever did was a "Family Ties" parody where Jackson played the Tina Yothers character, and every two minutes or so the camera would cut to her on the edge of the action, contributing an occasional and simple "Yeah..." to the discussion of the four other family members' discussion.

Dominique D was still memorable in Poltergeist. I read that her character was initially going to be the focal point of the plot . And then the writers changed it to Carol Ann . Dominique was talented and very well liked bycast and crew

The parents on Beverly Hills 90210 were necessary on a show that was about a bunch of 16 year olds. Also they were all rather interesting.

Why did Ann Marie not have any long term girlfriends?

Brian Austin Green - 90210

[Quote] Dominique D was still memorable in Poltergeist.

I actually forgot Dominque Done was in Poltergeist while I was watching it! By the time she returns to the film and screams WHAT'S HAPPENING!!! I realized that I had forgotten about the 3rd child. She's completely unnecessary and has no bearing on the plot whatsoever.

Eight Is Enough had 8 kids because they wanted to out-do the Brady Bunch.

R68, IMO, Bobby was the funniest Brady. Peter was probably more expendable.

Sam the butcher on The Brady Bunch. Was he really giving Alice his meat? Baloney!

R71, yes, you're correct. I think it would've been a better show with less characters.

"Peter was probably more expendable."

But without Peter we never would have gotten "Porkchops and applesauce"

R69, I wondered why old Hollywood didn't grant credit to actors in small roles. It was positively cruel, especially to those who were famous.

Don lemon on CNNs Morning Show

In 1970, 12-year-old Michael Bersell was a part of All My Children's original cast. The young actor had been hired for the role of Bobby Martin, the youngest son of Dr. Joe Martin. He appeared in several episodes, but then Bersell -- and all references to Bobby -- simply vanished.

The women on My 3 Sons

The women on Bonanza

Bev Garland was miles above that material, r86.

but Tina Cole wasn't R88 Liked Garland in Pretty Poison (1968) and The Mad Room (1969)

Anne Francis's character in Funny Girl.

Tina was also scintillating on Hawaiian Eye as *Sunny Day*. Also appropriate would be...Aqua Net.

Shhhhhhhhhhhh, R78!! Like Beetlejuice, if her name is said three times, the troll will appear & we'll never heard the end of it.

Ross on “The Patty Duke Show”.

Jerry Van Dyke on “The Judy Garland Show”.

She needed a pesky little brother, r93.

Tennessee Ernie Ford on “I Love Lucy”.

Excuse me, r96, but no TEF = no Teensy and Weensy.

Michael Myers in Halloween Ends

If David Gordon Green wanted to pull another Season of the Witch situation, he should've just killed Michael at the beginning of the movie and been done with it.

Ross was needed on the Patty Duke show, who else would Patty’s boyfriend Richard been able to jerk off with?

Didn’t Family Matters basically eliminate the younger daughter midway through its run? That is hardcore. Family Ties should have done that with Jennifer. She was painful to watch in her teen years.

I disagree about Little Ricky and Eight is Enough sisters. Everyone Loves Raymond could’ve eliminated the kids, they were hardly seen. But it’s an Eight is Enough situation where the family dynamic is premise of the show. Carrie on Little House I agree with, she contributed nothing to show.

Adam on Bewitched.

R100, yes, they giot rid of one daughter. I think shec went on to do porn and maybe died?

The Torkelsons was an NBC sitcom that got retooled and suddenly the single mother of five became a single mother of three.

It was retooled as "Almost Home" and featured Brittany Murphy in an early role

Jon Cryer Two and a Half Men

Ruby Dee in the 2007 film AMERICAN GANGSTER, starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. She's got like 5 minutes of screen time tops in a 2 1/2 hour movie. Her short scenes usually consist of admonishing Denzel's character, her son, but nothing showy like Beatrice Straight in NETWORK. They could be edited out and the film would lose nothing. I was surprised to learn that she was nominated for an Oscar and was considered a close competitor to eventual winner Tilda Swinton in MICHAEL CLAYTON. It really is just a glorified cameo 🤷‍♂️

R87 = Mammy Watkins

Ross on Friends

Silvana Mangano as Cosima von Bülow in Ludwig. Visconti is just being a mean tease.

As much as Carrie was not exactly a powerhouse of a child actor, she was miles above Grace, who I am not sure ever got out of her highchair even though she was probably about 6 by the time the series ended. Obviously, they were on the show because they existed in real life/the books. That does not excuse all of the adopted kids who showed up later, none of them really worked except Albert.

I did not really mind Jennifer on Family Ties. I could have done without Andy who was the classic overly cute and precocious bowl cut kid of the 70's and 80's. Speaking of bowl cut .. Cousin Oliver. Although as late addition kids goes, he really was not that obnoxious, but he also did not really add anything.

The show was never high art and was past its expiration at the time, but Billie and her sister on the last season of Charmed. Who knew that was not going to be the end of Cuoco's career.

R81 Except the whole selling point and premise of the show was that it was a big family with eight children. That was the family dynamic. No one was interested in a show called Five Is Enough.

Valerie on the Hogan Family

R93 I identified with Ross. I might have descended into juvenile delinquency and alcoholism if there was no Ross on The Patty Duke Show.

Becky on Full House. It seems odd that they decided to tie down the show heart throb so early in the series. She also seemed to be a better fit for Danny. She certainly was not added for her expert comic timing.

R34 and r64: you can both get spitroasted by a pair of rusty chainsaws.

Captain Steubing on The Love Boat. On most episodes, he’d show up for the boarding and farewells, and you’d never see his pompous face again. Gavin McLeod won the lottery getting cast on that show.

R83 In the 1930s and early 40s studios often did credit all the actors, particularly 20th Century-Fox which had enormous closing credits. If I'm not mistaken I think during the 40s there was a need to use less film (during the war?) and by making the closing credits shorter or nonexistent, they could eliminate several hundred feet of film. It was also the case that people who asked for (or whose agents asked for) credit - in the opening titles, for ex., could get credit. I remember an interview once where a producer was asked why an actor wasn't credited and he said, "she could have been if she had asked for it."

Viola Davis in Black Adam.

Janet on Three's Company

R118- Larry on Three’s Company

Vanna White on “Wheel of Fortune”

I keep saying Vanna White has got to be the luckiest woman on earth.

Small kids in TV shows often serve a purpose by affecting the way the main characters have to live their lives and throwing light on the characters of those in the main roles. The cute little ‘un in Medium springs to mind.

Marilyn on The Munsters.

[quote]I keep saying Vanna White has got to be the luckiest woman on earth.

Her autobiography is just a hell of a book!

Was Vanna among the first so-called reality stars? She gained a ton of fame and money by merely flipping letters (as herself) on a popular, nightly game show.

[quote]Valerie on the Hogan Family

Val was never on "The Hogan Family." She was the STAR of "Valerie."

Gordy on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show."

R8 That was one of the most ridiculous elements when they decided to make Frank the bio father after all. I hate when good shows do outstanding shit that defies realism like that. I guess they were short on ideas that season.

Anyways, to answer OPs post. The older's daughter on the Cosby show.

Madea in some of the Tyler Perry films.

[quote]The Partridge Family - The two youngest kids Tracy and Chris Partridge- they were not much more than props.

I believe those two kids, both under ten at the time the show aired, were really to make Shirley Jones seem a bit younger than she was (she was in her late 30s when TPF was airing). When she had scenes with David Cassidy and Susan Dey, she looked older than late 30s (she looked more mid-40s, which was age appropriate for those two actors / characters). With the two little ones she looked mid-30s. With Danny Bonaduce, she looked late 30s most of the time.

R125 No, it's a game show. We don't see Vanna in reality.

R127- He was the token black on the show.

Teresa and Raul on Dallas

Greg Kinnear in as Good as It Gets His character is unnecessary, cliche and maudlin.

Half the characters on Downton Abbey

R135- The middle sister Lady Sybil

R134 - Greg Kinnear should always be omitted. He is as dull as dog water.

R137- Jim Bob from the Waltons he was dull as dog water too

[quote] [R135]- The middle sister Lady Sybil

Sybil was the youngest on Downton Abbey and they did kill her off early into the series.

Daisy on Downton Abbey

Didn't they only kill Lady Sybil off because the actress had had sufficient?

Ashton Kutcher in the last 2 seasons of 2 1/2 men.

Andre in My Dinner With Andre.

Zulu on the original Hawaii Five 0, one of those shows where none of the characters have a life other than solving crime. Was Mcgarrett married? I don't know, was Danny a street hustler after he punched out? could be.

Ahhhhndrea Zuckerman.

Judy Winslow, "Family Matters"

Ben Seaver, "Growing Pains"

R144, McGarrett was married.....to Danno.

Steve Sanders, 90210

Zelda Zanders

The father in Mouchette.

Any role that Robbie Rist played: Cousin Oliver on The Brady Bunch, Ted & Georgette's son on Mary Tyler Moore Show

Eddie Fisher as Steve Carpenter in BUtterfield 8.

I wanted to be boy-married to Danno!

George Carlin's character (gay neighbor friend) in "Prince of Tides." I love George Carlin, but that was horrible acting and an unnecessary character.

Mackenzie Astin, George Clooney and that Australian girl on The Facts of Life.

R155 is correct!

Mickey Rooney in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”.

Grace Kelly (Brett Butler) on Grace Under Fire.

The two hotties that showed up late for dinner in Gosford Park and then disappeared for the rest of the movie. Even the director Robert Aldrich acknowledged their appearance as completely unexplained and unnecessary. I assume they were fucking somebody more integral to the plot. Hooray for Hollywood!!!!!1

Sounds like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in Hamlet.

Oh, they're dead, btw.

R158: Many years ago, I was an event-planner at place that hosted a number of tv show wrap parties. Carsey-Werner productions really seemed to like us, and we hosted several their shows -- 3rd Rock (twice), That 70s Show, Grounded for Life....and Grace Under Fire's last season wrap party. GUF had already been cancelled, before the wrap party. Those parties are always a little weird/bittersweet....but the CHILL that descended over that party when Brett Butler arrived (alone) was palpable & obvious. I think everyone was a little was surprised that she showed up, given her very public problems with the producers...and no one seemed to want to speak to her. There's always a certain amount of schmoozing with the producers & writers at these things, when the star of the show arrives....nope, not this time! She sat in the bar alone, watching the rank & file crew sing Karaoke. Even they didn't want to speak to her.

R64. “Auntie V should've have been a permanent cast member. Janis Paige is a delightful actress.”

I totally agree. I also think that Dianne Kay gave Nancy Charm and she had little control Over the writers who were ALL straight men .

Interesting that most are tv actors as shows evolve over the years and can shed the less involving actors. Movie characters are like Chekhov’s gun — once introduced you have to do something with it. Otherwise, what’s the point? Think of the best example of this — Some Like It Hot. Every single person who has a line, has a purpose.

I always thought that Mrs. Trumbull on I Love Lucy was Ball trying to find a spot for an old actress who otherwise had little chance of continued employment. There is no reason to make her an old widow. Except to throw Lucy a birthday party.

[quote] I always thought that Mrs. Trumbull on I Love Lucy was Ball trying to find a spot for an old actress who otherwise had little chance of continued employment.

They already did that with William Frawley.

And Mrs. Trumbull had to be available day or night to babysit Little Ricky. She was the plot device that allowed Lucy & Ethel to run off on some comic capers and eventually she became Manageress of the building when they up and moved to Connecticut.

And poor Mrs. Trumbull having to live out her days in that shabby building, battling those cold NYC winters and climbing all those stairs, first from the sidewalk to the foyer and then up to her attic apartment.

Marie in "Breaking Bad"

Oddly enough, all the characters except Marilyn Monroe in There’s no Business like Show Business seem extremely extraneous to me.

You didn't enjoy Johnnie Ray's work as the swishy priest? :-)

So many characters on every Star Trek series.

Most of the beloved characters from the original series were not memorably written, but were made memorable solely because they were filled by intelligent and charismatic actors like Nichelle Nichols. (Before you disagree, let me remind you that on the original series Uhura was not even given a first name, and Nichols had to invent one for her--it was not revealed onscreen until the movies).

Vincent Gardenia and Betty Garrett on “All in the Family”.

What did they add to the show?

Linda Evans The Big Valley

Speaking of Barbara Stanwyck shows:

Constance Colby, The Colbys

[quote] I don't know, was Danny a street hustler after he punched out? could be.

Assuredly not!!

Chao Li on "Falcon Crest"

[quote]I always thought that Mrs. Trumbull on I Love Lucy was Ball trying to find a spot for an old actress who otherwise had little chance of continued employment.

That nonsense. She always worked steadily, she was great.

Dawn on Buffy T.V.S.

She brought the show to a screeching halt.

[quote] About 3/4 of the sisters on "Eight is Enough." I had so much trouble differentiating among them except for Joanie and the gravelly voiced eldest one.

Let me help you out.

Mary - the smart sister. 👩‍⚕️

Susan - the athletic sister. 🏃🏻‍♀️

Joanie - the Thespian. 🎭

Mary - the pretty sister. 💅🏻

Elizabeth - the popular/social sister. 📞

ARE WE CLEAR NOW?

Daisy from Dukes of Hazzard

Nancy was the pretty sister, Betty.

[quote] Mary - the pretty sister. 💅🏻

Surely not.

Gracie on Friday Night Lights. Added nothing at all and scary looking kid. Think it would have been interesting to see the Taylors as empty nesters too.

Ernie Hudson in Ghostbusters.

Typo. Tommy was the pretty sister.

Nell Carter on the Match Game revival.

R181 I mean they couldn’t give the black guy one funny line?

Mr. Viola in Moonlighting

The wife (Susan St. James) in McMillan and Wife.

Eventually they just killed her off and the show just became McMillan.

I've been thinking about Jack Webb-produced series like Dragnet, Adam-12, and Emergency. They never seemed to have any extraneous characters, or anything extraneous, so I guess Jack did that right.

[quote] I mean they couldn’t give the black guy one funny line? —Sophia Petrillo Weinstock

"That's a big Twinkie" brought the house down at my theater, Sophia.

[Quote] The parents of Brenda and Brandon on BH 90210. The producers eventually realized, so they were eliminated.

Yes, when the kids were in college. One of the biggest storylines was Jim not wanting Dylan and Brenda together in the high school years and provided plenty of drama.

[quote] Vincent Gardenia and Betty Garrett on “All in the Family”. What did they add to the show?

As every other character, they were a foil for Archie.

But Lear also wanted to disrupt stereotypical gender roles so he was the cook in the family and she was the mechanical/fix-it one. Unfortunately, it came across more as a gay man and a lesbian in a marriage of convenience.

And Betty Garrett was probably thinking her character was not needed because when she got the chance she bolted for Laverne & Shirley, where she was more effectively used and was given more opportunity to sing and dance.

I agree about the Lorenzos. I thought at the time (I was a teenager) that they just didn't seem to fit, on the show. Everything on All In The Family had worked until then, but they were a miscalculation. I had the impression Norman Lear just wanted to cast Vincent Gardenia because he liked him. (And Sada Thompson, I guess - who taped one unaired show and was then replaced by Betty Garrett. 'Sada had too much genuine class and didn`t yell loud enough for a Norman Lear show.' said one staffer.)

R191, Vincent and Sada had both recently experienced successes on Broadway, Prisoner of Second Avenue and Twigs.

Norman Lear often turned to Broadway for casting.

R192 Good Point. Betty Garrett (who incidentally, died on this day - 2/12 - in 2011) was often on Broadway or touring as a stage actress as well.

Jenna Bush Hager on Good Morning Hoda

Buzz and Sonja on Mama's Family.

Lana on 3's Co.

Ricky from the last season of The Partridge Family. Come back Chris and Tracy; all is forgiven!

Tom Arnold as Arnie in Roseanne and Albert on Little House on the Prairie ( Mathew something).

^ Albert Ingalls unimportant? F U Jerkwad!!!

Sammy Davis Jr in Sweet Charity

They probably could have eliminated Aunt Fran on Mama's Family too. Which is exactly what they did, along with Buzz and Sonja.

Everyone but Roseanne on Roseanne.
