Who's your favorite television character?

Otter · 10-25-2005, 05:10 PM

There's been several television shows that I've liked through out the years, Jag, NCIS, MASH, The West Wing, The list goes on, my favorite character would have to be Hawkeye from MASH. Any opinions?

I did like M.A.S.H. Hawkeye was a good character. I think the original cast was the best overall, with Trapper John being a very good partner for Hawkeye. Mashal Matt Dillon would be my pick.

The starship captain from the TV series Firefly, they just release a film title Serenity. Can't remember his name. He has a great line. "When somebody tries to kill you, you try to kill them right back." Or James T. Kirk.

I grew up before Television, and it has never been something I watch much, except for some sports, documentaries, or movies, and that may not happen more than a few times a year.

It can be said that I grew up before computers, and that is not really true, because Ada Leyseth is considered our first real computer programmer, and she was born in 1815. The Ada Programming Language was named after her, and the Mil Std for the Ada Programming Language is Mil-Std-1815, the year of her birth, in her honor.

That's a hard one. There have been sooooo many.

How about Judge Harry from Night Court. It had a great theme too.

Cliff Claven on Cheers. Lots of others, but I really enjoyed his humor.

BattleRifleG3 · 10-26-2005, 01:28 AM

Folks who haven't seen it just don't understand, but mine might be John Sheridan from Babylon 5. Played by conservative actor/writer Bruce Boxleitner. An imperfect but good man who cared for many who didn't care for him, but faithfully loved and was loved by one good woman who stood by his side in the worst of times and defended his honor long after he died when the media talking heads tried to revisionistically twist his legacy.

For me, it's a toss-up between Al Bundy and Homer Simpson. Don't know why, but I sort of identify with them. :cheer:

Dennis · 10-26-2005, 06:47 AM

Daisy Duke, the Real one not the new simpson chick.
Spock was cool as was the whole cast of the original startrek
I loved scotty.

(got time for a short story?)
I had a friend visiting that was from scotland I told him to walk up to the table of us and tell me "I put a weinie in the warp drive captain I an given ye all I got en canne geva nos more" in a perfect scottish broge.
Have you ever seen grown men laugh beer through their nose? while hopeing they didnt piss themself?
Brian was a good sport about it, he had to say that line about a hundred times after that.....

Daisy,Scotty for shure but the Lone ranger comes close and Festus too.
the topic is too broad
