*******************************************************
OMG, how could I forget about “The Facts Of Life”??? Blair Warner was the utlimate teenage beeatch and was wearing Manolo’s before Sex and the City ran with it 20 yrs later.
I’ll see you one Stringer frickin’ Bell and raise you a Lester effin’ Freamon.
1. Spike
2. Dana Scully
3. Lucy Ricardo
4. Mr. Data
5. Max Guevara (Dark Angel)
I think that the most interesting in male characters are Spike and Date because of their not human condition and they way they are played through a journey that develops their characters.
Dana Scully is the best female heroine written for TV. Strong, resilient, patient, intelligent, loving…
Lucy is just timeless and lovable.
1. Veronica Mars (Veronica Mars)
2. Tony Soprano (The Simpsons)
3. Homer Simpson (The Simpsons)
4. Brenda Chenowith (Six Feet Under)
5. David Brent (The Office – BBC version)
6. Andy Sipowicz (NYPD Blue
7. George Costanza (Seinfeld)
8. Al Swearengen (Deadwood)
9. Ari Gold (Entourage)
10. Theodore Hoffman (Murder One).
Stephanie Travitsky, I know you’re entitled to your picks, but Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean has got to be one of the dumbest characters of all time. Sticking with British commedians, Benny Hill did a multitude of characters and all of them were much better than the single character that Atkinson did. I know this is just my opinion and, like I’ve already said, you’re entiteld to your own, but it amazes me just how many people, my brother and wife included, who actually like Mr. Bean. Zazu, the major domo bird of bird of Mufasa Atkinson played in “The Lion King” is MUCH better than Mr. Bean. But like I already said, this is just my two-cents worth so take it for all it’s worth and nothing more. If you care to comment back to me then my e-mail address is literature_lad@yahoo.com or ingleschnitz@hotmail.com. I would love to hear your comments on my comments. In the meantime, please take care. I reallt do hope to hear back from you. Sincerely yours, John (literature_lad@yahoo.com and
Addition to Stephanie Travitsky’s messge: I thought I had gotten everything in within the one-thousand characters one is allowed to use, but when I posted the message I realized I didn’t. I’m going to add the part of the messge that did not get posted due to not getting it in within the one-thousand characters below this message.

That is the part that should come after the word “and” in the parentheses.) I’m really sorry for this inconvenience.
