Night Court - with Markie Post. Every character was flawed, but extremely likable….especially Dan.
The original Night Court is a great answer!

A couple of others with ensemble cast.

Parks and Rec.

P&R gets rightfully compared to Office. Office is better top to bottom, but the difference is that most of the P&R cast is likable and mostly good people at the end of the series.

Other than Jamm, I’m not rooting against anybody in the finale.

Newsradio is a good answer. Although in hindsight, Andy Dick and Kathy Griffin are terrible people. and who knew that Joe Rogan would become one of the top media personalities of all time out of that case?

RIP Phil Hartman.

CHUCK is good choice. In real life the actors from SMALLVILLE and FIREFLY are the best.

I specifically said her and Dick were terrible people.

Yes. She is. She was not a cast member in News Radio, however. The red-head was Vicki Lewis.

Fail on my part.

She was in Caroline in the City at that time. My bad coach.

No show with Andy Dick has the most likeable characters.

GOT (especially seasons 1-5), probably by virtue of having so many notable characters.

Ned
Robb
Jorah
Queen of Thrones
Margery
Tywin (maybe not to some)
Jaime
Bron
Tyrion
Aemon
Hodor
Ser Barristan

This is a great list. fricking Bill Rawls almost ruins any likability the characters have. I’ve had bosses like him IRL, and it can almost ruin the likability the other character’s have.

What’s funny, is, that I like Marlo even though he’s a POS. Could just be the be the way the actor portrays him. Phenomenal job.

Game of Thrones has Joffrey Baratheon as a main character, probably the most loathsome character ever written. Just by him alone, nevertheless Ramsay Bolton, Gregor Clegaine, Cersei Lannister, the Sand Snakes, Walder and House Frey writ large, Janos Slynt, and several others I’m forgetting, Game of Thrones is not in this conversation.
