John Locke (Lost)
Charlie Pace (Lost)
Benjamin Linus (Lost)
Sydney Bristow (Alias)
Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm)
Spike Spiegel (Cowboy Bebop)
Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Angel (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Chandler Bing (Friends)
Veronica Mars (Veronica Mars)

This list was HARD to make. It was not an easy task for me. I'm not even sure if it's 100% accurate, but it's pretty close nonetheless. No one from Battlestar Galactica is on this list, but if it was top ensembles it would obviously be near the very top of the list!

Re: Favorite TV Character Selection Thread(Please Post Your Top 10)

This is probably even harder than picking favourite TV Shows; so many great characters.

-Jack Bauer (24)
-Homer Simpson (The Simpsons)
-Philip Fry (Futurama)
-George Costanza (Seinfeld)
-The Cigarette Smoking Man (The X-Files)
-Wesley Wyndam-Pryce (Buffy The Vampire Slayer/Angel)
-Dale Gribble (King Of The Hill)
-Angel (Buffy The Vampire Slayer/Angel)
-Theodore Bagwell (Prison Break)
-Charlie Kelly (It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia)

I know you said specify the show, but do we really need to specify for Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel? I mean, the two are practically the same show. If that is a problem, just put 'em both down for Angel.

Oh well, at least the nomination round was fun. Who knew this place was secretly called SimpsonsTalk.

*edit - how could I forget Grissom & Kermit? and lots of love for Coach Taylor.

You can't have John Steed without Emma Peel, so I guess we'll have to (regrettabley) drop the obscure Uncle Tonoose.
