Larry Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I considered Hawkeye Pierce. But I decided that, IMO, Radar, Henry Blake, and Frank Burns were all better characters than Pierce. Maybe Col Potter and Winchester, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Kramer should win this whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidFan Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I haven't seen any other groups but Omar is key and so is House but Hawkeye is the gem here. I hope to god someone puts Larry Sanders on one....but to me the best character ever on TV is Al Swearangen from Deadwood.....nothing beats speaking like Shakespeare if he was a sailor with all the F bombs and C words.....magical.

Larry Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Like I said, I really liked MASH, the show. But I thought Hawkeye, the character didn't really have that much, well, character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 House definitely needs more love. Thought about him. Mom's started watching him, occasionally, so I've been seeing bits and pieces of him. And I would rate him as an interesting character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 MASH is another great show with a flood of memorable characters. Hawkeye is a good choice, he was a devil and a morality anchor. Jamie Farr's character whose name I am blanking on might have also be an interesting choice. The character went from a sight gag to a very real three-dimensional person. Pretty hard to do.

Chopper Dave Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I'm still waiting for the groups that have Archie Bunker, Eric Cartman, Vic Mackey, Walter White, John Carter, Peter Griffin, Dale Gribble, Dwight Schrute, Michael Scott, Josh Lyman, Jed Bartlett, Lenny Briscoe, Jack McCoy, Master Shake, Meatwad, William Murderface, etc., etc., etc. Of course, the winner is going to be some horribly cliched lead detective character from some crappy CBS old person drama, but still let's get some better nominees. I was supposed to choose 5, but I could only find three really worthy characters. That's not to say the shows are bad, but I'm sorry, as good and influential as I Love Lucy was, Lucy Ricardo is not a good character. She has one dimension.

Of course, the winner is going to be some horribly cliched lead detective character from some crappy CBS old person drama Have I mentioned that Mom's favorite show is Matlock? That's not to say the shows are bad, but I'm sorry, as good and influential as I Love Lucy was, Lucy Ricardo is not a good character. She has one dimension. I can understand the criticism. I said the same thing about Hawkeye Pierce. IMO, he wasn't the best character on that show. Maybe not in the top 5. (Although I do think that Lucy Ricardo was a full character.)

Chopper Dave Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Uh, I've heard of three of your nominees. That speaks more to your pattern of viewership than the quality of my suggestions. I find it hard to comprehend that someone trying to offer a legitimate opinion on television has never watched South Park, the Shield, Breaking Bad, ER, Family Guy, King of the Hill, The Office, The West Wing, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, or Metalocalypse... ok, more so the first 8 rather than the last two, but still, your taste in TV seems pretty damn narrow. Edit: Also, it's pretty sad, but my mom loves Matlock too, and she's only 8 years older than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbleedBnG83 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 None of these characters can hold a stick to Tony Soprano. That show will go down as one of the best in hisory. His character was so well developed. Jame G. did an amazing job playing Tony Soprano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 The character went from a sight gag to a very real three-dimensional person. Pretty hard to do. And not always a good move, either. I'm a big fan of Hill Street Blues. But I liked Det Belcher and Lt Hunter better when they were caricatures than I did later on, when they tried making them into full characters.

Great TV characters do NOT require massive character development, lengthy backstories or delving into their psyches, though lol...as long as there is something unique about the character, that they're enjoyed by those who view them, and that they are portrayed excellently by the actors who are portraying them, then they qualify as excellent tv characters. And I'm sorry, but the character of Lucy Ricardo is FAR from one dimensional...the storylines they put her in might have not had much depth, but the character of Lucy herself had an enormous amount of range. And Lucille Ball pulled that mother****er off to perfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a DAMN good show, and Jim Rockford was an excellent character. Magnum P.I. first appeared as a character on The Rockford Files... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
