Homer, I despise Seinfeld and George is the Seinfeldiest of them all.

Re: Favorite TV Character Tourney: Championship

After the eighth season or so, Homer just became irritating and one-dimentional. George Costanza just had a slight dip in the final season, but otherwise he was great the entire series.

Costanza. No question.

Re: Favorite TV Character Tourney: Championship

Two very worth finalists. Both are characters that I watch on TV at least daily. I love George Costanza, but Homer Simpson is in a league of his own.

I don't see why people are disappointed that an animated character might win the Tournament. Homer deserves to win just as much as any other character I saw through the rounds.

Re: Favorite TV Character Tourney: Championship

I had to think of the funniest moment for both...IMO

Homer won because he couldn't get all he could eat at a resturant...so to get rid of the negative publicity the owner put Homer in the front window as a tourist attraction but it was more like a freak show...where he ate like a pig

So Homer got my vote

Yep. For all the bitching about Whedon, somebody needs to re-assess the bias in this room.

Re: Favorite TV Character Tourney: Championship

If I recall correctly, Homer Simpson wasn't even close to being the most nominated character for this tournament. I think only a dozen or so folks put him in their top 10! Makes these results seem a little fishy. I demand a recount!

Maybe it was a case where people knew he would get in, so voted for others.

Re: Favorite TV Character Tourney: Championship

Difficult choice between the two, but I have to give/hand it to the man who won ‘The Contest’.

Spoiler:
George: Jerry, Jerry can you hear me?
Jerry: Yeah.
George: There's something I have to tell you...
Jerry: What? What is it?!
George: I cheated in the contest.
Jerry: What?!
George: The contest, I cheated!
Jerry: Why?!
George: Because I'm a cheater! I had to tell you.
Jerry: Great I won!

George, although it looks like a wasted vote.

How could I forget that bit of dialogue toward the end of their run? Kstublen--nice recall...

(IMHO)The episode with the kitchen fire (w/ Jon Favreu as the clown) is the epitome and essence of George.

Homer has killed independent George.
