Terrorsaur? He was a weak ass jobber. They nerfed the amazing Starscream! The real star of Beast Wars was Dinobot. Everyone knows that

John Noble as Walter Bishop in Fringe.
Written as a supporting character, dude stole the damn show EVERY SINGLE WEEK.
I think of Fringe as a show with 3 lead characters though. Even the DVD boxes always have the 3 of them.

Dinobot rules and I actually prefer him to Terrorsaur, but Terrorsaur's transformation cry is epic.

Basically everyone in Band of Brothers if you consider Winters to be the main one.

Isn't the show basically about Walter saving the day/future, fixing his mistakes, and finding redemption for his actions.

Don stopped being an interesting character in Mad Men after season 1. Peggy and Joan are Mad Men now.
I'd say that Deadwood doesn't really have a lead character.

Joan? She barely on the show. Her side plots always seem throwaway.
Zach Braff in scubs thanks to this guy....
Dr Cox. (and for good reasons) One of the best comedic characters TV has ever seen.
Don't forget the Janitor !
That's a fair argument, I was debating whether or not to include him given that he's the primary antagonist for Timothy Olyphant's character - whom I'd just always considered to be the "main" character.
That's what it eventually evolved into (and by the latter half Walter had been elevated into a main character), but in the first season he was obviously a supporting character.
This wasn't a show that started with three lead characters, even if it ended as one.
^I know, It was cool to watch how the show evolved to that though. Still though even in the beginning of the series it seemed like everything lead back to Walter/Bell
very true. lol
All the characters are amazing, but Archer is the best.
Not true, I'd say NPH is the most popular.
Close, but Bender doesn't work without Fry being around.

Love Dr. Cox, but again the entire show is built around this guy, just wouldn't work without him. Look at how terrible season 9 was, yet Cox was still there full time.

Oh? Her episodes last season (Army guy, other...guy) were the pinnacle of 2012 television.
dat whistle. Anytime he'd do it I'd laugh a little inside.
Dr. Cox on obesity: LOL
"Nine pounds in a week!? Let me ask you a quick question: are you trying to make my head explode? Because you have no idea just how frustrating it is working your ass off trying to inflate a tiny little balloon inside someone's clogged artery. And all that a person has to do, really, is -- oh, I don't know -- go for a walk in the morning or choke down a fresh green salad. And you come back here looking like that!?! And I know, I know, here I'm supposed to be Dr. Give A Crap, but you wanna know the God's honest truth? And this is a fact -- you are what you eat, and you clearly went out and devoured a big fat guy, didn'cha!"

Beat me to it!
I'd also argue that Turk also overshadows JD

Barney.
The Office seasons 8-9. Best thing to happen in the last season is the long absence of Andy.
Mad Men. Don is still prominent, but it's basically Mad Women now and with good reason.
Arrested Development. Although it's expected that Michael be the long-suffering one to get upstaged.
Anything Vanessa Williams does because she does a great job of stealing thunder.
Community. Troy and Abed. Annie. Britta, bitches!
Glee. It's always been about Rachel, but the male lead used to belong to Will but now gets tossed between Finn or Kurt.
True Blood because of some terrible scenario-writing for lead Sookie and the bajllion amount of cast members.
Revenge and Prison Break. The main leads are second-billed for some reason on both shows even though they're always front and center with covers and promos.
Game of Thrones season 1. Sean Bean gets overshadowed by the Tyrion and Daenerys and some other stuff.

Wes and Cordy quickly became my favorite part of Angel.
Till this guy who overshadowed the lead on the other show came over and overshadowed again:

Sam Axe in Burn Notice. I'm sorry I don't really give a fuck about Micheal, Sam is where the gold lies.
Ooh this reminds me how much I have grown to despise Mike from Suits. Harvey and Donna (and Louis on the side) are more than strong enough to carry that show on their own, but we gotta have some stupid gimmick as the premise instead

I think I read somewhere a while back that they were both credited as co-lead characters. Which seems fitting because they're basically perfect mirror images of each other in terms of what elements of their personalities they're both trying to suppress to stay alive. As much as the show could have a main character I think it would be Swearengen though

The Guys > Jess in New Girl
Wasn't Jack supposed to be killed off in the pilot? If only.
She steals almost every scene she is in.
And he is sooo cute.

Parallax
best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
this is the most incorrect statement in this thread. shes not even the 3rd best side character
I don't think a lot of people watch the show but Ksenia Solo on Lost Girl steals the show for me. I actually watch the show just for her.

For a while she been acting like a desperate and clingy attention whore lately but she does have the best one liners in every scene she is in.
