Far too much Red Bull on Saturday night led to the need to compose a list. A list of the top 10 most awesome people on TV. It was much more of a challenge than initially expected and ended up taking two hours - so I want to see your lists. Rough rules - TV characters only. No real people, no films, no animation. Awesome criteria: Gets the best lines/wisecracks, is badass, gets all the chicks/dudes. Grim... and Craster's list of the Awesomest Ever TV Characters (not ordered) House Rick Castle/Mal Reynolds/Captain Hammer (basically the same character) Jayne Cobb Barney Stinson BA Baracus Spike Dr Horrible Badger/Crowley/The Lawyer Dude From Galactica Dr Cox The Fonz Yes, it's very Whedon-heavy, and yes they're all dudes. I've also merged a few where they might not make the list individually. And it was 5am. You do better! |

Many of the above, but also: Dr Cal Lightman (from Lie to Me). Most of my other favourite characters from things are awesome, but not in the way described in the first post. |

Fox Mulder. He's kind of geeky smouldering sexy - does that fit the criteria? |

I agree with the OP list. However, you have criminally left off Alan Shore and Denny Crane. DENNY CRANE. |

Unfortunately, because it was a joint list, we both had to have seen the programme. And Grim... has never seen Boston Legal so Denny and/or Alan couldn't go on the list. |

Then your list is broken. And so is Grim.... In fact, so much so to the extent that, correct as it may be, your entire list is null and void. You also missed off the Fonz. |

Knock him off the list, then. Although there's not been much in the way of inspiration. |

Pretty hard to pick who is the most awesome from Breaking Bad. One of Walter White/Gus Fring/Saul Goodman. |

Bunk (The Wire) - "Fuck you very much" Gob (Arrested Development) - "COME ON" Al Swearengen (Deadwood)- "I will profane your fucking remains, E.B." Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm) - charm and obnoxiousness perfected and personified. Jeff (Curb again) - deep down everyone wants a friend like him. Jay Wratten (Shadow Line) - never seen menace and crack pot insanity like it. Suited the off-beat tone of the show perfectly. Mike (Spaced) - needs no explanation Boyd Crowder (Justified) - brilliantly devious and articulate right-wing pyromaniac. Francis (Malcolm in the Middle) - one of the few things to make me want an older sibling. Steve McBride (Shameless) - not a name I'd recognise (had to Google it), but James McAvoy's character in Shameless' first series is pretty much one of the coolest (if inevitably flawed) people I've seen on TV. |

"Gets the best lines/wisecracks, is badass, gets all the chicks/dudes." which of these does Mike from Spaced fit under, pray tell?

Pure, tobacco-stained filth in a nightgown. But Jiminy Cricket, I forgot Alan Partridge. He takes Francis "Malcolm in the Middle"'s place. |
