TOP 100 CHARACTERS - PART 1

What I would like to do - is characterize my Top 100 Characters that I find are the most intriguing characters of television today and yesterday. I will be doing it in four segments - 25 at a time. I have seen so many list out there - for which I agree with some but disagree with most. I did not use any criteria to choose my favourites - only those characters I found the most entertaining made my list!

100. Homer Simpson from The Simpsons - even though he is not the best role model for anyone, he is very enjoyable to watch and his antics are hilarious.

99. Horatio Cane played by David Caruso in CSI: Miami. His one liners and dark glasses have become synonimous with television viewing.



98. Randy Hickey played by Ethan Suplee in My Name Is Earl - his stupidity is entertaining and that's about it.

97. Kenneth Parcell played by Jack McBryer in 30 Rock - he might just be a supporting character but I enjoy him more than most of the other characters on 30 Rock with the exception of Liz Lemon and Jack Donahue.

96. Al Bundy played by Ed O'Neill in Married With Children - he is the ultimate underdog father with so many issues relating to everyday life - he feels like part of the family

95. Paul Hennessy played by John Ritter in 8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter - after his death you could immediately recognize the effect this great actor had on this show and so many others.



94. The Janitor played by Neil Flynn in Scrubs - his rivalry with J.D is one of the highlights of the show and makes the idiocy of the show worth watching.

93. Bobby Singer played by Jim Beaver in Supernatural - he was only meant to star in one or two episodes but his importance as a cast member and main character became apparent and continues to help make Supernatural a awesome show

92. Shirley Schmidt played by Candice Bergen in Boston Legal. She truelly is a legend - and the continuing antics of Denny and Alan to romance her and the effect the has over them is legendary!

91. President Jed Bartlett played by Martin Sheen in The West Wing - he is one of the iconic presidents ever in television history and just for that he gets my vote.



90. Luke Danes played by Scott Patterson in Gilmore Gilrs - his role in Gilmore Girls may have been understated but he grew to be a fan favourite - between his romantic relations with Loralei and disregard for town rules he truely made himself famous.

89. Grace Anna-Darko played by Holly Hunter in Saving Grace - her hard ass attitude and constant visits from Earl her angel make this entertaining duo something to watch.

88. Hal played by Bryan Cranston in Malcolm In The Middle - he is another one of those television fathers that one can relate to in dealing with the children but always does it just the way you would not!

87. Will Tippen played by Bradley Cooper in Alias - he only starred in the first, second and third season with occasional guest stars in the following seasons - but he grew from this role to a major film actor - which one has to give props to.

86. Fox Mulder played by David Duchovny in X-Files - I didn't really care much for the show but his character with the constant inner battles was intriguing.

85. Dr. Sam Beckett played by Scott Bakula in Quantum Leap - his versatility in playing so many differant characters in one show is really a showing of his greatness



84. Will Smith played by Will Smith in The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air - the starting point of the prince will forever remain in the realms of the great comedy shows of the 90's.

83. Kimble Cho played by Tim Kang in The Mentalist - he is one of the classic characters in the story - I personally enjoy his character. His deep seated fear of magic and tragic dislike of pineapple on pizza (which I wholeheartedly agree with) are only few of the traits that make this character so memorable.

82.Joey Tribbiani played by Matt LeBlanc in Friends and Joey - he was such a great character coming from Friends he got his own spin-off show. His stupidity and great comic timing make him so memorable.

81. Sarah Walker played by Yvonne Strahovsky in Chuck - her beauty and cool fighting skills are only some of traits that secure her a spot on my list.



80. Dexter Morgan played by Michael C. Hall in Dexter - this serial killer that goes after only bad guys gives off those cool guys vibes and on top of his killing schedule he has to deal with his family and fellow cops.

79. Red Forman played by Kurtwood Smith in That 70's Show - his twisted view of life and the entertaining way by which he is trying to make his son a man entertains us.

78. Xander Harris played by Nicolas Brendan in Buffy The Vampire Slayer - this goofy guy got the hot girl and learns some fighting skills in the progress and even saves the world and brought our favourite heroin back from the dead - twice makes him a legendary character in my book.

77. Helen Gamble played by Lara Flynn Boyle in The Practice - this hard ass woman laywer was the first major female lawyer on our screens after Ally McBeal which puts her solidly on my feminist watch but also on my list.

76. Marissa Cooper played by Mischa Barton in The O.C - her character somewhat annoyed me with her childish antics but without her (after her death scene - in which I cried) the show was just not the same.









So that was the first batch - stay tuned for the rest!
