Top 100 TV Characters

Nov. 23 - Newsday has compiled a list of the top 100 TV characters. They only list the top 90 at the link and will reveal the top 10 on Bravo Channel Friday night. (I think they mean USA Bravo.)

Some of the choices are interesting. Bret Maverick placed at #33, and Mulder and Scully placed at #32. Maynard G. Krebs placed at #93 (not that I'm complaining; I'm actually pleased that other people out there have fond memories of TV's first recurring beatnik.)

The top 10 might be deducted in part by who is not on the list thus far, so I'm figuring Archie Bunker, Mary Richards and Ben Cartwright (or one of his "sons") might make the Top10!Greatest!TV Characters.

Any other all time greats that aren't listed yet? I'd like to see Delenn or Capt. John Sheridan of Babylon 5 make it but, hard as it is to believe, that show seems to still be in the "cult favourite" catagory.

Nov. 30: The top 10 are named here. We made some good calls (with a few disappointments.)

2 Good list, jhuck. I hadn't thought of Fred Flintstone, and I had also forgotten Ralph and Alice Kramer (or maybe Ralph Kramer and Fred Norton? Egad, Lucy Ricardo! (I spent entirely too much time watching re-runs.)

4 Rocky and Bullwinkle yay! (with the usual "I don't mean the movie" disclaimer.) We also forgot George and Gracie.

5 George and Gracie! There is no way that they can't be left out of the top ten. Good call.
