In the 1970s and 1980s, ABC introduced audiences to iconic sitcoms such as Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, and Three's Company.

Sue Heck (Eden Sher), or Sue Sue Heck if we're going by her ridiculous full name, was one of the best characters in The Middle, and I'm so disappointed that we never got her spinoff series. The overlooked middle child of the Heck family and the only girl, Sue Heck is a hilarious character in The Middle and one of the most loveable. Optimistic and sunny to a fault, Sue is often let down by those around her, but her ability to spring back up from every setback was always as funny to me as it was inspiring.

An unaired pilot for the long-running sitcom The Middle was very different from the final show, and seeing how different the final product became makes me appreciate the series even more. The Middle follows the Heck family as they struggle and overcome the challenges of everyday life in Middle America and their own eccentricities. While The Middle wasn't the most original premise for a sitcom ever, it did gain a dedicated following, and it makes a strong case for being one of the best shows on Peacock.

Longevity on television is the dream of a lot of performers, but there's one actor who had a lengthy run on the small screen with roles on two shows back to back. It takes a mixture of talent, discipline, and a little bit of luck to stay in the industry, let alone for such a long stretch. While many actors have spent years entertaining TV audiences, there are often gaps in their resumes as they wait to be cast in a new role.
