Top 50 TV Characters

Television, that blue-glowing glass box that sits like a silent visitor in all of our homes, has given us some unforgettable friends over the years, from talking cars to silent killers, from wacky neighbors to creepy stalkers. The medium of serial TV is a perfect one for characters to grow, with hour after hour of airtime allowing producers, writers and actors to lend nuance and variety to their parts. Inspired by their efforts, we have sat down over a few hundred beers and pooled our massive wealth of TV knowledge to create UGOs list of the 50 Greatest TV Characters. As you know, dear reader, we have broad tastes, from sci-fi and fantasy to historical drama, and coming up with only 50 of our faves from a pool that deep was difficult, but we did our best, and we're confident you'll be pleased with the results, and possibly might even meet some new faces on the way. And, yes, we fully expect this list to inspire fevered debate -- how could we possibly cover the rich and varied history of broadcasting in only fifty characters -- so please feel free to let your choices be known in the comments below.
