Because being the main character doesn’t mean you deserve all the love.
Gunther — Friends
For all of the crap he had to deal with from the six main characters, Gunther deserves some kind of award. While we got a decade's worth of episodes peeking into the lives of the titular ~friends~, Gunther's life was rarely brought into the picture. Let's give Gunther his due — he's earned it.
NBC
Margaret Scully — Masters of Sex
Despite strong performances from the leads, Allison Janney's Margaret Scully, a woman struggling to break through a lifetime of repressed personal agency, is perhaps the most intriguing character on the show. And although her appearances have been infrequent, they are powerful enough to have earned Janney an Emmy for her guest role. Why not expand on that and make Janney's Margaret Scully the focus of an entire series?
Showtime
Regina — Once Upon a Time
Regina's by far the most complex character on Once Upon A Time, and she's the biggest fan favorite and one half of the show's most beloved ship — SwanQueen. Emma might be the Savior of Storybrooke, but Regina's the glue that keeps the show rooted in real character development. She's gone from innocent country girl to Evil Queen, and this season she might be making a full transition into the new Savior. Plus, no one looks better in leather pants. Give this woman a show just for the leather pants.
ABC
Rachel Menken — Mad Men
Rachel was one of Don's first conquests (well, at least during the events of the show) and eventually proved to be one of the most enduring liaisons in a series full of them. Rachel was a no-nonsense type of person who did not hesitate to put Don in his place, an attitude that led her to stand out in his mind. And so when she reappeared near the end of the series, it was no surprise; Rachel was the type of woman who could stand toe-to-toe with Don. To see that attitude and energy on a spinoff — about, say, the challenges she faces as a Jewish woman trying to make it in the business world in the middle of the century — would be fantastic.
