the entire show belonged to them. From Sheldon Cooper to JJ Evans,
these six characters staged unexpected hostile takeovers.

I'm surprised that they missed Fonzie (Henry Winkler) in Happy Days.
That one seems particularly obvious to me as an example of a minor
character that became THE central character.

I was in elementary school at the time, and we called the whole show
Fonzie ("Are you going to watch Fonzie tonight?").

I don't consider Sheldon Cooper and JR Ewing to be side characters. They
were the focus of the show from the beginning.

There was an spin-off animated series called "The Fonz and the Happy
Days Gang". It lasted two seasons. :-)

Animated spinoffs are always execreble. Did they add an animal? They
usually add a dog for some reason.

Yep, a sort-of-talking dog called "Mr. Cool". They also weirdly added
an alien space pilot from the 25th century named "Cupcake". :-\

"Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli, Richie Cunningham, and Ralph Malph
find themselves lost in time with their new friend, Cupcake, an
alien from the future."
