Who are your five favorite TV characters?

For me:

Murdock - The A-Team
Dr. Becker - Becker
Fred Sanford - Sanford & Son
Bender - Futurama
Chester - Sifl & Olly (obviously)

Yes I notice the characters I am drawn to are either insane or total bastards.

Magnum (do I really need to tell you what show?

)
Dr Sam Beckett - Quantum Leap
Benjamin Sisco - DS9
Fox Mulder (again, if I have to tell you there's no hope for you)

Hmm... just realized there were no women on that... I'd need a separate top 5 for those, I guess, but Magnum's still at the top even if I integrated my lists.

...or with more feeling, or at the most inappropriate times.........

The one scene when a stranger comes to down and al wants him do something for him, he invites him into his office and before the guy even sits down he asks him if he'd like his ^%$#@ sucked.. The guy looks at him in horror, and Al gives hime this look like he's a total asshole, and says, "Not by me..... I'm not a Cs'r." It was priceless....

My favorite Swearingen (Swidgen!) scene was when he was having a meeting with his crew in his office, and all of a sudden, Swearingen starts screaming and cursing,

"Okay, who cut the fu***ng cheese?" then he starts berating them, the one guy admits he did it, and Swearingen made him jump off the balcony into the muddy street below, breaking his leg!

That scene was hilariously scary.

DWSTXS · Apr 25, 2008

Oh crap......I forgot Omar from the Wire! Okay, he takes the place of Dennis Leary's character in Rescue Me on my list!

Trivia bit regarding Omar. - Though raised in the hood, making his living ripping off other drug dealers, killing them and maiming whoever got in his way, Omar refused to curse.

(and he walks away whistling 'The Farmer in the Dell')
