Television's Greatest Characters Reviews

Those us of us who fall into Generation X grew up with television as a staple. Sad to say, but I remember a lot more about television shows from the 70s than I remember about the things I learned in grammar school. — There have been some awful programming, but television has also featured some really great entertainment and memorable characters. Here, in no particular order, is my list of great television characters - the ones that captured the imagination, made me love to hate them, made me laugh, scared me, and generally kept things interesting. — J.R. Ewing, Dallas -… read full review »

I happen to believe that Scooby Doo is the greatest television character ever. I grew up watching Scooby Doo and now my 4 year old son watches it. Normally, I do not allow him to watch anything except for educational shows, but who could say no to Scooby Doo. I am an adult and I can still sit and watch Scooby Doo with my son and I don't get bored. Scooby Doo is a classic and he has been around for ages. He is and always will be my favorite television character.… read full review »

Sydney Bristow, college student by day, superspy by night, is one of the greatest characters in television history.  The central character on ABC's "ALIAS" had a dysfunctional family life (to say the least) when growing up.  Her mother died when she was young, or so she was led to believe, and her father, Jack, a CIA double agent under the guise of an airplane parts salesman, was mostly absent....at least emotionally.   Sydney was recruited into the spy game to work for a covert branch of the CIA...but she found out that was all a ruse, once her fiance was… read full review »

Greatest Characters on TV — According to Me Anyway :) — — Fraiser Crane - This character, played so very well by Kelsey Grammer, is so good that he was the only character in the classic sit-com Cheers to have his own sucessful spinoff show.  I loved watching him in both shows.  HIs own show, Fraiser, was under head writer Christopher Lloyd who is hilarious himself.  He's the classic shrink who's almost as crazy as his patients.  The chemistry among his costars on that show is just fun to watch too, especially with Niles who sometimes steals the scenes… read full review »

they say dora and spongebob are one of the best cartoons out there today — well i guess they did not grow up watching cartoons of the 1970's those were cartoons — thank goodness for the boomerang channel or kids would not know what real cartoons were — sure todays cartoons are action packed learning adventure but thats all that is on — kids are so involved with cartoons that they dont get out and go outside — there is a endless  array of cartoons, they never end — and they are way to commercialized  they have everything from music to clothes to… read full review »

I am not certain what or who I am to review here, but I will throw a big shout out to a somewhat unkown and often overlooked character of Lowell Mathers from the NBC sitcom "Wings."  He was always good for a laugh with whimsical and distorted perspectives on life, and when he left the show I think that the show suffered a great deal until it finally got cancelled.  I know he is a miniscual character amongst the better known, but I still feel as though he has something to offer if you should happen to catch an old rerun at 3:00 in the… read full review »

George Costanza is the greatest TV character of all time and I I highly recommend you get the Seinfeld box set.  Not only is his sense of humor amazing, but he is so immature that basically everything he does is hilarious. — — Take for instance the time he tries to fake out the unemployment service by using a fake company name.  I mean come on, that is so damn funny.  So anyway I think you should rent these… read full review »

Great show! It was a real representation of what TV should be. There isn't a lot of TV I care to watch these days, but I could watch this over and over again. My entire family enjoyed this show. I wonder when it comes on again... — — We are lovers of classic TV shows and this brought back lots of memories from when we were… read full review »

Seinfeld. Never been a show as clever and gut-strainingly hilarious as this show, nor does it seem that there ever will. Ingenious and superbly casted, I long for the day I stumble apon a rerun I have somehow never seen, for this will be like a long anticipated Christmas morning at age 5, pure unbridled… read full review »
