Completely forgot about both of those characters and their shows. There are just too many great TV characters out there.

Luther is pretty amazing. I also liked the chick with the over bite.

[ZeN]

Nancy Botwin?

Oh god, she is my most hated character in the history of TV Shows.
It's ok I watched her scenes on mute. She has the highest nudity per episode ratio around.

[Suguru101]

Hard to believe Jesse's melodramatic ass was one of somebody's favorite characters. He was cool during the first few seasons, then bleh.

[Jailblazers7]

Justified is excellent.

Mr. Echo :D

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Mr. Echo :D

Damn, I always forget that he played Echo. Their characters are polar opposites, probably part of why I forget. :oldlol:

Part of it is also probably his name...Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. No idea how to pronounce/remember that.

[Graviton]

It's Adebisi, aka the GOAT character from the GOAT show.

[24-Inch_Chrome]

It's Adebisi, aka the GOAT character from the GOAT show.

He and Said were probably the two best characters imo, at least off the top of my head.

Adebisi in the season where Querns stepped in as warden was a legend. :bowdown:

1. Omar Little - The Wire
2. Louis Litt - Suits

Also not bad choices. Too bad the Hell on Wheels writing is mostly terrible the last 2 seasons, but I love the main character.

[DeuceWallaces]

Omar, Ben Linus, Crazy Harry (Muppets), Marty Funkhouser, Krycek

Like most I could go on forever.

[Graviton]

I haven't watched the last 2 seasons, I stopped after the Indian attack and his girl's death. Does shit get worse after that point?

[BigBoss]

Christopher Multisanti is the GOAT tv character from The Sopranos. His story arc consisted of wanting to make it up the mob, a heroin addiction, sacrificing his girlfriend, then getting murdered by his father figure. I was genuinely upset when he kicked it. RIP.

[irondarts]

Dale Gribble
Rust Cohle
Don Draper
Coach Taylor
The entire core cast of The Shield

Also loved the evolution of Tobias Beecher on OZ as well as Augustus on OZ.

Gus Fring - Breaking Bad
Omar Little - The Wire
Don Draper - Mad Men
J-Roc - Trailer Park Boys
Eric Cartman - South Park

[Kensta]

Forgot about Lorne Malvo (Billy Bob) - Fargo

[Siemens]

Edit: wrong thread

[NBAplayoffs2001]

1.) Tony Soprano (The Sopranos)
2.) Rust Cohle (True Detective)
3.) Vernon Schillinger (Oz)
4.) Johnny Sack (The Sopranos)
5.) John Abruzzi (Prison Break)

Prison Break ended up being a very mediocre show, but it was fantastic when Abruzzi was in it, and his character ruled. :pimp:

Abruzzi was really fun to watch in Season 1. For me, T-Bag was by far my favorite during Season 1. The only dude I probably would fear if I /was in that prison despite the fact he seemed very charismatic and likeable at first. Then you eventually figure out he's crazy and a psychotic serial killer. I will admit Prison Break peaked really high in my books during Season 1. It showed sooo much promise to be a GOAT show IMO. Season 2 was meh, it was still a great show. When I first initially watched it when it came out, I couldn't get passed the first half of Season 3. Season 4 especially the last few episodes were pretty great.

Prison Break Season 1 is like the only season in the show that could be as fun when rewatched. I could never watch Season 3 again, dear god. Season 4 barely saved what was left of it. For me, the guy who played the correctional officer, Brad, became a much more talented actor through the seasons. I felt (spoiler alert) by the time of his death in Season 4, he became one of my favorite characters because his character showed sympathy and seemed to have finally realized his potential as a person to help. Even though he died saving the rest from the broken pipeline, you can see Brad made a huge transition of being that disliked correctional officer to a guy realizing how important it is to keep everyone else alive for something bigger than him. He seemed like he felt insignificant throughout the rest of the TV show until he realized giving his life up for such a deed to save three others is the best thing he's done in his life that is worthy of being significant.

My favorite TV show character of all time though is probably Jazz from Fresh Prince. Some of his lines killed me while growing up.

[Derka]

Ron Swanson (Parks & Rec)
Al Bundy (Married...with Children)
Violet, The Dowager Countess (Downton Abbey)
Jack Donaghy (30 Rock)
CJ Cregg (The West Wing)

Honorable mention: Cersei and Tyrion Lannister (Game of Thrones)

Toss-up for a 6th goes to Randy Marsh and Herbert/Janet Garrison from South Park

[Nastradamus]

1.) Tony Soprano (The Sopranos)
2.) Rust Cohle (True Detective)
3.) Vernon Schillinger (Oz)
4.) Johnny Sack (The Sopranos)
5.) John Abruzzi (Prison Break)

Prison Break ended up being a very mediocre show, but it was fantastic when Abruzzi was in it, and his character ruled. :pimp:

Abruzzi and Teabag were awesome characters, especially early on.

[KyrieTheFuture]

Stan - South Park (weird personal connection)
Raylan - Justified
Omar - The Wire
Zuko - Avatar
Arya - Game of Thrones

[KingBeasley08]

^ Stan's your favorite? I like the guy but he's usually just the straight man to all the funny characters

[Siemens]

Stan - South Park (weird personal connection)

Walter White
Omar Little
Tony Soprano

[rufuspaul]

The Smoking Man-The X Files
Dwight Shrute-The Office
Kramer-Seinfeld
Danerys Stormborn-Game Of Thrones
Lindsey Weir-Freaks And Geeks

[KyrieTheFuture]

^ Stan's your favorite? I like the guy but he's usually just the straight man to all the funny characters
His observations are very similar to mine, some of the episodes that focus on him connect with me, and of course I have horrendous anxiety and vomit around girls I like just like mah boy Stan

[Nastradamus]

Stan's the best southpark character to me easily. Cartman and Randy next

[NBAplayoffs2001]

Abruzzi and Teabag were awesome characters, especially early on.

Teabag kind of got annoying once he started killing pretty much everyone he ran into during Season 2. Then he was that hilarious yet loveable crazy psycho once again in Season 4. It's a shame Abruzzi got killed off so early on. When they all escaped from prison, I didn't really peg him as the first one getting killed. The side story of that guy from the psych ward wasn't that interesting. I would have preferred Abruzzi trying to stay lowkey but eventually giving into mob activity and eventually help the crew take down The Company.

[BRabbiT]

marlo stanfield

[SexSymbol]

Actually, Randy Marsh may be the best TV character ever.
He's just too funny and likeable even if he does unlikeable things

[FatComputerNerd]

Not a single mention of Ron Swanson...


Shameful! :rant

[24-Inch_Chrome]

I was respecting his desire for privacy. :pimp:

[christian1923]

what makes him the best character?

Ive never heard anyone ever say that before

I have Randy, cartman and Butters all ahead of him

[FatComputerNerd]

My "guilty pleasure" choice might be Dean Winchester.

He is possibly more of a bad-ass than Daryl from TWD.

Crowley is pretty great too, and so is Castiel.

Supernatural :banana:

How is this show these days? Any good? Stopped watching when that Tran shit was dragging...

I never miss an episode. It did have a few slow seasons there, but it's a great show.

I think it's on tonight...I'll have to watch it later since the Cavs will be on.

Stan and Kyle are necessary to bring the writing together and I can definitely understand why some people would really like their exasperated moralizing. It's basically the brand of humor that has made Stewart and Oliver famous.

[KingBeasley08]

Nah, i agree that they are important. Stan and Kyle are both very important. Stan's probably the most human and normal character

and when Matt and Trey actually make a statement, they use Kyle as their mouthpiece. Can you imagine that Cartoon Wars ep (one of my favs) without Kyle or the Scientology one without Stan?

They are essential characters. Kenny is the least important tho i like him as well. I just don't laugh at Stan and Kyle as much as Cartman and Randy do

[Smoke117]

Mags Bennet - Justified
Ralph Ciffareto - The Sopranos
Nelson Van Alden - Boardwalk Empire
Gaius Baltar - BSG (before the writing went to shit)
George Costanza - Seinfeld

I dunno about my five favorite, but that's what I came up with off the top of my head.

My next 5:

Doug Stamper-House Of Cards

Michonne-Walking Dead
Audrey Horne-Twin Peaks
The Dowager Countess-Downton Abby I know I'll get flamed for this but her one-liners are great. Reminds me of shit my grandmother would say.
