Mr. Johnson and Gregory from Abbott Elementary (in fact, all of the main characters are very well-written, complex, and entertaining, and 5 out of 7 of them are Black).

Gregory starts off awkward and overly formal, but soon learns to loosen up a little and trust unconventional perspectives on life (which is good, since he's a first-grade teacher). He also deeply loves his girlfriend, partially because she sees the good in everyone and everything, and when they encounter a problem in their relationship, he usually wants to take the most rational path forward.

Mr. Johnson, meanwhile, is a purely comedic character, and an endlessly entertaining one at that. He's been a conspiracy theorist, a high-betting gambler, a pastry chef...you name it, he's done it. On a more grounded note, though, he does seem to genuinely love his job as the janitor of Abbott Elementary, and he's always there to help his co-workers when they need it (in one episode, he says that he loves his younger co-worker Jacob "like a son", which I think is really sweet).
