Argument I got into NYE. I maintain Walter White my friend said Tony Soprano, my wife says Tyrion Lannister.

Any others in the discussion?

[fifeboy]

I want to know why Ward Cleaver is not on the list!

[Hyack]

Where is Oscar the grouch????

You can't pick just one. Each of the ones on that list are memorable for different yet equally valid reasons. And what about comedic characters? My list there would have B.F. Pierce, Sheldon Cooper, and Morris Moss for starters.

Too many to list. A single best-of-all-time is simply not possible. The list would be endless. Just some off the top of my pointy head:

Walter White
Gaius Baltar/Cylon Model 6
Captain James T. Kirk/Commander Spock
Lt. Commander Data
Seven Of 69
Sam & Dean Winchester
Tony Soprano
George Costanza/Kosmo Kramer
Alex P. Keaton
Dan Fielding
Woody Boyd/Norm Peterson
Tyrion Lannister/Tywin Lannister/Jamie Lannister/Cersei Lannister
the Targaryen dragons
Darryl & Merle Dixon
Nucky Thompson/Richard Harrow/Gillian Darmody
Colonel/General Jack O'Neill
Sheldon Cooper
Uncle Phil/Cousin Carlton
Don Cherry
etc
etc
etc

It would be literally endless.

Al Bundy

[Thanos]

Homer Simpson
Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, and Butters. And Randy Marsh too.

[PostFactum]

No Sasha Grey ?

[martin14]

Bo and Luke Duke

Alan Alda

the entire cast of SOAP.

James Garner aka Rockford


and by far the best...

Archie Bunker

For some reason comic characters didn't even occur to me at first. Probably because it started as a half drunken debate about Tony SOprano vs Walter White. Not much room for Sheldon Cooper or Chandler Bing in that conversation.

Can't believe I didn't think of Ryan O'Rielly either. Obviously, my choices run to the criminal.

So, in the interests of making it almost possible to discuss...

Best Criminal TV Character?

[CDN_PATRIOT]

1) B.F. Pierce
2) Jean-Luc Picard
3) Fox Mulder

$1:

Best Criminal TV Character?

Burgess Meredith's "Penguin"

Ricardo Montalbàn's "Khan"

Raymond Bailey's "Millburn Drysdale"

Joe Flynn's "Captain Wallace B. Binghamton"

(The last two are only sort-of-criminal.)

I voted for Tyrion because GOT!

I should also say I haven't watched Breaking Bad yet so I could be wrong.

[Strutz]

I agree with Thanos... too many good ones to pick just one.

My list would include:

B.F. Pierce
Sherman Potter
Jean-Luc Picard
Archie Bunker
Kosmo Kramer
Frasier Crane
Sophia Petrillo
Michael Bluth

...and so many more...
