Idea based on the 'favourite sitcom character' list by AndyGibb!

Rushmore04/19/2006

right, this is a great list and one i WILL have to clone. after giving lots of thought. thing is i go through phases of liking characters, so picking ultimate top 50 will be tough. i think a fair few from green wing will make it, possibly top 5 material.

as for this list, nice choices. i agreee that niles is brilliant. Norm peterson, nice entry, he rules. you must like him, considering you. haven't been watching cheers that long. i expected more simpsons , but i like your chocies. great choices and great list.

Wezzo04/19/2006

Thanks very much, I really look forward to seeing your clone!

Yeah, he's a great character and I had to have him up high despite having seen relatively little Cheers. Same goes for Jim from Taxi - I first saw the show less than a month ago, but he's such a brilliant character I had to include him. More Simpsons, eh? Well, yes, I see what you mean, there are a few that come very close, but I wanted to have as much variety as I could. I agree that there are hundreds of excellent Simpsons characters, though. And hey, 7 from The Simpsons is a fair few!

Wezzo04/19/2006

Oh, and FYI, I'm almost done with the BNL GH disc - a "Rating the tracks" list is to come, but suffice to say I'm lovin' it. :-)

CaptMal04/21/2006

Nice list, man, even if I disagree a bit. ;-)

I will definitely have to clone this one, as well...though I should be replying to your e-mail, shouldn't I? :-D

Wezzo04/21/2006

Haha, well don't worry about that too much - Listology is much more interesting than reading my ramblings! :-D

Thanks for the comment. :-)

AndyGibb04/30/2006

Great list, Wezzo!

It was great to see Jim come up! Iggy rules!

And nice to see Norm and Frasier and everyone else...it's high time I added that disclaimer about my list ideas being stolen from you...

Wezzo05/02/2006

Thanks for the comment. I thought you might agree on those. :-D

Rushmore01/23/2007

RUSTY! Rusty Shackleford! haha

Rushmore03/02/2007

nice update. to be honest theres many characters i don't know but i'm sure are great. some i agree with Niles, Homer, Cox, Flanders, Dale, and list goes on.

however, i know you're not the biggest south park fan, but if only seen few episodes, you have to realise the genius of Cartman!! that low on the list!??

great list though

Wezzo03/03/2007

I know, it does seem low for Cartman... I can't really explain why he's so low.. maybe it's because I like characters that are more three-dimensional.. but I imagine he'll get higher as I see more, don't worry!

neptune07/14/2007

PERRY COX FTW!

CaptMal01/03/2009

I'm thinkin' this list needs some Spike. ;-)

Wezzo01/03/2009

You're right, not to mention Willow, Giles and Xander.. I haven't got round to considering Buffy characters yet but they'll be here soon, for sure :D
