One of my all-time favorite characters
is the hilarious “Aunt Esther” from the 70s series called SANFORD AND SON.

And I like all 4 major characters on THE GOLDEN GIRLS.

And I used to like Rhoda Morganstern on Mary Tyler Moore Show.

What are some of you guys’s favorite tv characters ??
 
I loved Worf on Star Trek Next Generation an Uhura on the original show.

My new favorites are the entire cast of The Unit. Talk about a real slice of military life. I grew up a brat and every week something on that show hits home. I like that they are well-developed characters with human flaws and strengths rather than being cartoon heroes.
 
Dr. McCoy from Star Trek
Fr. Dougal from Father Ted
Church Lady, Mary Catherine Gallagher, and Matt Foley from SNL
And Fox Mulder from The X-Files, the first person I ever had a crush on:D
 
The entire Cleaver family (Leave it to Beaver)
Mary Richards (Mary Tyler Moore Show)
Sheriff Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith Show)
Worf (Star Trek TNG)

Okay, I’m gonna show my age here a little, but I grew up watching the original Star Trek series and Laugh-In.

One of my fav characters on Laugh-In was Lily Tomlins’ Ernestine (“One ringy-dingy…”) and Edith Ann (…and that’s the Truth-th-th!). And I’ve been told I do a pretty fair imitiation of both of them. I used to crack up my neighbor’s kids with Edith:
“Sometimes, when I’m setting the table, I spit in my sister’s chocolate milk.”
“Sometimes, when I think God is watching, I sing and dance and do a little commercial for Him.”

Since most of the characters listed in earlier posts are before my time, I’ll give some favorites from the 80’s onwards. Also, I tend to like “human” characters, that is characters who are not blatently immoral or bad, but are like us, struggling with their problems. OK, enough background.

Thomas Magnum (Magnum P.I.)
Laura Holt (Remington Steele)
Harm Rabb, Kate Pike, Sarah MacKenzie (Mac), Bud and Harriet Roberts, A.J. Chegwidden… (JAG)
Tony DiNozo (spelling?), Ziva David, Abby (NCIS)
Jordan Cavanaugh, Woody Hoyt, Bug Vejay, Niles (Crossing Jordan)

OK, I should stop now, lest I giveaway too much of my TV addiction! :o
 
Easy- Pam, Jim and Dwight on the Office. Also Alex P. Keaton from Family Ties and Tad and Dixie on All My Children.
 
…and who can forget the espionage of (and not so bad looks of)

Sydney Bristow on Alias played by Jennifer Garner
If ABC wants another hit - they should bring that back - or something like it.

Other character favorites -
All the Cartwrights from Bonanza (Adam - not so much)
Danny Thomas on Make Room for Daddy (and founder of St. Jude Children’s Hospital)
Rob Petrie - and all those characters really from the 60’s show
and we can’t forget Radar from MASH
 
I tend to like a lot of the oddball detectives. Columbo and Monk are my all-time favorites. I don’t watch a ton of TV, but Monk absolutely owns me!😃
 
Adrian Monk
Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor
ALF
Jim Rockford
“Reverend” Jim Ignatowski
Maxwell Smart
Mick Belker (“Hill Street Blues”)
