Secondary characters that became stars

Yup, Plucky starred in his very own self-titled show in 1992.It ran for 13 episodes but mostly used episodes from his stint on Tiny Toons.


Also Dudley Do-Right starred in one of the backup segments on Rocky and Bullwinkle but was popular enough to get his own show. There was even a live action film based on him.
 
Another pair that comes to mind is the duo of Chip and Dale, who started out as nuisances of Donald Duck in a number of shorts before starring in a few of their own and, in the 1980s, their own weekday afternoon television series, Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers.
 
Daria comes to mind. She started off as a character who appeared in a few beavis and butthead episodes, she later got her own show. Although Mike Judge had nothing to do with it.
 
Im still disapointed that Beavis and Butthead never had at least a cameo apperance on Daria...

And Daria is esentially the second Beavis and Butthead supporting character to get her own show, since Hank Hill is pretty much the same character as that neighbour whose toolshed Beavis and Butthead (for whathever reason) used to masturbate in.
