your top 10 favorite characters from DIFFERENT shows

okay your list for your favorite to 10 characters of all time. the only stipulation is no more than 1 character from a show. so no one (including me) can list the cast of sports night, west wing, friends, etc. order them or not, mine won't be. here's my start (pardon my lack of full names or names at all):

jeremy - sports night
josh lymon - the west wing
joey tribiani - friends
coach - cheers
harry - night court
the todd - scrubs
faith - buffy the vampire slayer
mr. feeney - boy meets world
max - dark angel
frankie - ed

this list will change as i think of this all day long, but for now this is what i have.

Original Star Trek -- Doctor McCoy

Buffy -- Spike

Alias -- Marshall

I Love Lucy -- Lucy, of course (where would comedy be today without her?)

Babylon 5 --G'Kar

South Park --Cartman

Angel -- Loren

X-Files --Mulder (pre- "I'm too big for this" Duchovney)
