Same deal as all the other tournies. If a character shows up on at least two lists they are in the tourney. The more tallies they get the higher their seed.

I want everyone to give me a list of their top 10 favorite characters. Please keep your lists to "characters". No Game Show hosts or reality show contestants(I know some of these are really just characters), Pro Wrestlers etc. Animation is allowed. Miniseries such as Band of Brothers are allowed in this tourney.

--Please try to keep your lists to a show's regulars or semi-regulars(So Newman is okay for Seinfeld, but The Soup Nazi wouldn't be). That should keep the master list somewhat manageable.


There is no need to use both names if a character is well-known by one. ie. Kramer from Seinfeld, don't need the Cosmo.

This is thread will stay open until at least June 2, so take your time preparing them.


This list is alphabetized by show to make it easier for me. Once a character has qualified for the tourney I will put them in bold.

Chris Moltisanti(The Sopranos)
Tony Soprano(The Sopranos)
Spock(Star Trek: TOS)
Fox Mulder(X-Files)

woody5254

hmm, hadn't thought of that. Yeah why not. Band of Brothers and the like ought to have a shot. If they get enough tallies, they're in.

Rockmjd23

That's exactly the series I was thinking of too.

Doc Moonlight

Gunther Toody--CAR 54 WHERE ARE YOU?
Francis Muldoon--CAR 54 WHERE ARE YOU?
Gomez Addams--THE ADAMS FAMILY
Eddie Haskell--LEAVE IT TO BEAVER
Sam Malone--CHEERS
Veronica Mars--VERONICA MARS
Oscar North--HE AND SHE
Uncle Tonoose--THE DANNY THOMAS SHOW
Dr Johnny Fever--WKRP IN CINCINATTI
(tie) John Steed--THE AVENGERS
Mrs. Emma Peel--THE AVENGERS

WallyOPD

Veronica Mars (Veronica Mars)
Brisco County Jr. (Adventures of Brisco County Jr.)
G'Kar (Babylon 5)
Londo Mollari (Babylon 5)
Bill McNeal (Newsradio)
Norm Peterson (Cheers)
Jack Bauer (24)
Natalie Hurley (Sports Night)
Data (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
Shawn Spencer (Psych)

It's really a shame that Londo and G'Kar can't be listed as one character, they're so intertwined. I'll also be shocked if Bauer doesn't make the final 4.

Boba Fett

Dale Cooper (Twin Peaks)
The Fourth Doctor (Doctor Who)
Benjamin Linus (Lost)
Spock (Star Trek)
The Fonz (Happy Days)
Al Swearengen (Deadwood)
Jim Rockford (The Rockford Files)
Hawkeye (MASH)
Bill Haverchuck (Freaks and Geeks)

Jimmy James

I'm limiting my nominations to one per show voluntarily understanding it is a self-imposed limitation. Otherwise, I'd probably have 4 just from Newsradio:

Jimmy James (Newsradio)
Paris Geller (Gilmore Girls)
Keith Mars (Veronica Mars)
Ronnie Gardocki (The Shield)
Michael Westen (Burn Notice)
Simon Adebisi (Oz)
Joe Friday (Dragnet)
Data (Star Trek: TNG)
Charlie (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia)
Daria Morgendorffer (Daria)

woody5254

Which of the tie do you want? I can only take your top 10. So right now I have John Steed and not Emma Peel let me know.

Arthur Dent

This list would probably change significantly if I spent some more time with it, but here it is:

House (House)
Monk (Monk)
Malcolm Reynolds (Firefly)
George Costanza (Seinfeld)
Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Lenny Briscoe (Law & Order)
Angel (Angel)
Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm)
Barney Stinson (How I Met Your Mother)
Doug Wilson (Weeds)

woody5254

I initially said no to animation, but if it is your favorite character, then it really should be allowed. So list away.

Make sure that you tell me which version of the show you are referring to if it has more then one.

Niles Crane (Frasier)
Lucy Ricardo (I Love Lucy)

Jimmy James

This is where characters get complex. I named Joe Friday. He was a part of every pre-80s version of the show. Do you want that as Dragnet: TOS, Dragnet 1967, Dragnet 1968, Dragnet 1969, Dragnet 1970? Similarly, there are characters like Frasier Crane (Cheers and Frasier) or Spike (Buffy and Angel) that will need to include multiple shows or else they may be listed multiple times.

Michael Corvin

This has a lot more potential in being more fun than the show tourney.
