Cast Totals
Edit
This features the total amounted appearances by recurring castmembers on the series that have never been billed under either "starring" or "also starring", out of the 180 episodes of the series. It does not count episodes in which they are credited but from which they are absent, or the episodes that only feature them in pictures. The actors are ordered by number of appearances and, in a secondary manner, alphabetically. Also, appearances by said recurring characters being portrayed by extras or minor guest stars also do not count. Keep in mind that some recurring characters were not portrayed by recurring actors, meaning the characters may have appeared in a total of five or more episodes without their main portrayers having actually achieved that high an episode count. Uncredited animals and baby actors portraying recurring characters are not included.
