These are my favorite characters throughout the years and yes it is a weird grouping, I know. I do not watch enough TV to have 20 favorites from on-air programs, so many are from childhood. Also I am only including characters that were around when I was, so no Lucy but I am also including favorite all time TV shows and a few are definitely before my time, so thank god for re-runs and complete season DVD releases.
1.)Michael Scott- the best character hands down, we could watch The Office seasons over and over forever and we do.
2.) Angelica Pickles- was the cartoon embodiment of me as a child (sigh), however I lived too far away from my cousins to torment them, but I guess there where a few male cousin make-overs. She is also why I hope I have a boy.
3.) Gregory House- I wish I could be as blunt and honest as House but I do not have the brilliance to back it up. I find everyone who tries to psychoanalyze House is annoying.
4.) Temperance Brennan and Seeley Booth- my generation Mulder and Scully. I have been a fan of David Boreanaz since the Buffy days, but Booth is a more fun, interesting, and a much less depressed character than Angel. Side Note: male vampires must be so disturbed and depressed all the time, the poor actors must be dark, handsome and never smile; I think that job would take its toll. Brennan is just an awesome-female-scientist-power, even if she does have emotional issues; everyone needs a quirk.
5.) Bart Simpson- the never-ending rebellion and pranks
6.) Cosmo Kramer- only a genius could invent Kramer, full of idiosyncrasies and an atmosphere of bad luck
7.) Cartman- South Park mostly all the same opinions as Daniel and I. Loved the insheeption episode! Cartman is actually my least favorite character but an absolute necessity to make the show. I like Kyle.
8.) Dwight K Schrute- The pranks on Dwight are hilarious and I would say Dwight could rival Kramer in regards to uniqueness, but arrogance and the need for power are definitely his best features.
9.) Rachael Green- you can’t live during the 90’s and not obsess about FRIENDS, Rachael was my favorite. It takes guts to give up your parents’ money and work as a waitress.
10.) Sam Weir- adorable on Freaks and Geeks; makes me feel I should have been nicer to the nerdy boys. He was so innocent and genuine, as all kids should be. His expressions are priceless.
11.) Buffy the Vampire Slayer- kick ass, hot-forbidden-boyfriend, so idolized
12.) Stewie Griffin- hilarious; the perfect antidote to Peter’s stupidity and annoyance
13.) Andy Millman- all the comedy of the office, with extra famous actors and showing the vanity of celebrities- a cultural message, nice.
14.) Kerry Bradshaw- a show really just for women, that was not a soap opera drama fest (to include Melrose Place, Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate House Wives etc.). Kerry was unapologetically self-absorbed and materialistic, refreshing.
15.) Dylan McKay- my first crush, oh what a hot bad boy
16.) Daria- 5th grade marathon weekends, my new favorite color was black and the last good TV show made by MTV
17.) Raymond Barone- a believable portrayal of husbands, wifes, and family.
18.) Jonathon Taylor Thomas (J. T. T.)- haha another awesome 90’s crush, but he was on an actually decent show- Home Improvement, remember, the whole family could watch it.
19.) Zack Morris- my 2nd and more appropriate crush for my age, when my mom stopped letting my watch 90210 after Brenda and Dylan had sex on prom night.
20.) Steve Urkel- all kids of the 90’s imitated him. I mean really the 90’s kind of sucked, especially music-wise but Steve Urkel was a child’s rare gem, simply funny and annoying to adults.
