Favorite TV Characters? (RANKED)?

Walter White - Breaking Bad - Walter White is a desperate man. His wife is pregnant, his son has cerebral palsy, he has no money and when he finds out he’s dying of cancer, he realizes he’s got nothing to leave his family. So what does he do? He uses his knowledge of chemistry to set up a meth lab in a rundown motor home. A big part of what makes White one of my favorite TV characters of 2008 is Bryan Cranston’s excellent portrayal of a man with nothing to lose. We can see that White is in over his head and always on the verge of falling apart but it’s hard not to feel for the guy. - Kelly West

Dr. James Wilson - House - Wilson has long been the viewer’s point of reason, our anchor to keeping things in check. Honestly it’s a formulaic technique, and while Robert Sean Leonard is well suited for the role I always found Dr. Wilson a bit too obvious. Then 2008 hit, and Wilson’s friendship with House was challenged by something a little more serious than the moral ambiguity of Dr. Pill Pop. Starting with last season’s finale, “Wilson’s Heart,” we saw the incredible turmoil that House’s actions had on Wilson. Even better is that Wilson didn’t roll over and act exasperated, instead he stood up and walked away. The death of Amber was Wilson’s most emotional moment in the history of the show, and his walking away from House was his strongest. -Steve West

Detective Charlie Crews - Life - Cop shows have been done over and over again. Never has a cop show gone so far to give the main character such an interesting back story and quirks. Don't give me that junk about Vincent D'Onofrio's weirdo cop on L & O. That's just pretentious crap from an arrogant actor. Damian Lewis (Band of Brothers) turns out the most underrated performance on television as the fruit loving, falsely imprisoned, Zen master Charlie Crews who simultaneously tracks down weekly criminals and the people who framed him. Stop wasting your time on crap like Heroes. Watch Life. - Matt Norris

Creed Bratton - The Office - Of course Creed Bratton wants a third chair. Of course he loves throwing **** into the quarry. Of course he sits around smoking hookah at the office Christmas party. He’s an amalgamation of the one percent, the old man living on the fringes; existing in a world he has no interest in understanding. He marches to the beat of his own fake tape worm-selling, genuine pot-smoking folk musician, and I, of course, would have it no other way. - Mack Rawden

Sylar – Heroes - His whole “attempted hero” phase was very unpopular with most fans, but he’s come out of it with much more clarity, purpose, and self-awareness. It was also interesting to see that other side of Sylar and gain some insight into why he does what he does and you can’t deny the payoff that Sylar ultimately kills for no other reason than because he really, really likes to. In the end, there was nothing more glorious than Sylar embracing his dark side and reveling in being deliciously, gleefully, pure, unadulterated evil. I mean, I could really just write "Badass" over and over again and that would say it all. - Dustin Christian

Robin Scherbatsky - How I Met Your Mother - From the moment we met Robin, she's been the most honest, commitment-phobic, hockey loving Canadian ever to appear on the small screen. Though she's not the mother (hello, she needs to be with Uncle Barney), I couldn't imagine Ted's life without her. Every scene is filled with subtle movements or facial expressions that elevate the humor to that of legendary status. While Barney may get most of the comedy props, there's a reason he loves Robin and it's the same reason I do...basically, she's awesome. - Erin Dougherty

Sheena - America’s Next Top Model - Anyone who followed my ANTM recaps this past cycle knows that Sheena was my girl! It wasn’t because she was a Kimora clone. Oh no, this ghettofied Asian Harlemite had flavor all her own. Some may have been put off by her “borrowed” urban vernacular. All others may have been disgusted by her overt (albeit clumsy) sexuality. But, for some reason, when she told the camera and the other wannabe models that she was just being herself…I believed her. There was always a sort of sweetness to every funky, not quite right thing she said and did, even when she was bending over backwards or dropping it like it’s hot. Sheena’s that crazy girlfriend you hang with whose warmth and honesty are often overshadowed by the fact that her thong is showing. But you love her for it. - Charmaine Dennis

Admiral William “Bill” Adama - Battlestar Galactica - When I was thinking about my favorite TV characters from BSG, my initial choice was Saul Tigh. Tigh’s always been one of the most interesting characters in the series but it can not be denied that Bill Adama stepped it up earlier this year, not only in finally sucking it up and admitting how he feels about Roslin, but also for the intensely emotional breakdown he suffered after learning his BFF was in fact, a
