And your pick for greatest TV characters EVER are....

[Sussudio]

One of the greatest things about television show characters is the ability to follow them from one season to the next, on one adventure after another, and from the very beginning of their journey to the very end. Many viewers become attached to their favorite character(s) as they watch them over the years, and there can be somewhat of an emotional kick in the stomach when the show finally ends.

That being said, who do you think were some of the greatest characters--live action or animated--to ever grace a television screen? (You can simply just list your favorites, too)

My favourite TV show characters are:

Homer Simpson - The Simpsons (pretty obivious)
Chris Griffin - Family Guy
J.D - Scrubs
Sylar - Heroes

+1 I love this character.

I would love to see a minor crossover in an unrelated movie.
(-aka. - Have Scott Bakula have a minor (supporting) role in a movie where he helps the main charactor. At the end of the movie (right before the credits) have him glow blue like he did when leaping in the series. )

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team.
