Thank you Rabbit. I disqualified the Central Characters (for one, removing someone's IV drip line is NOT the same as cutting life support and is certainly NOT murder, as some have attributed to George Costanza, that's just plain an OFF-BASE misunderstanding of the events)

I disqualified Soup Nazi (and the category tag "nazi" does not apply to him at all) because businesses have the right to withhold service to anyone they deem (unless in part or whole funded by Federal funding, in which case terms *like* "Equal Opportunity" come into play)

Martel, Hoyt are out. Newman remains because he is the one character aggressively opposed to Jerry, thus the setting makes him a "villain". A low grade and comedic one, but they write as such to fit their jokes over time, episodes and the franchise.

Bob abd Cedric I've allowed for their running gag appearances, but I can still be convinced they are just Jerks.

The Convict, for his one-shot appearance has the benefit of having been escorted by the FBI, so as brief as it was, it is there as a supportive backstory to warrant qualifying him.

Again, *most* sitcoms do not support villains. SOME DO. Get Smart, a sitcom about opposing spy organizations is one such sitcom. *Archer* is another. Also Kim Possible. Dating myself here, but When Things were Rotten (a sitcom about Robin Hood) would be another.

But Slice of Life shows, RARELY do.
