Favorite TV Show Characters

[Ugly Bastard]

I'm pulling this off the top of my head so I'm probably leaving out some good ones, but favorite characters from TV shows:

Omar from The Wire



Omar Little is maybe the greatest character ever made for anything ever. If you have never sat down and watched The Wire from start to finish, every episode, you don't know what TV is. This is the best character on the best show ever made. All he does is rob drug dealers. He is so feared that the drug dealers give him their drugs/money when they see him coming, no questions asked. Little kids want to be Omar when they grow up. I want to be Omar when I grow up. Omar fuckin' Little.

Johnny "Drama" Chase from Entourage



Entourage is tremendous. It's Saved By the Bell for grown-ups. It's Sex in the City for men. And on a show with many tremendous characters, Johnny Drama is near the top. He is so raw. Kevin Dillon was born to play this role. When Drama hurts, you hurt. When Drama falls to his knees, puts his hands in the air, and screams, "VICTORY!!!", you too want to scream Victory. Drama is your emotional surrogate to this show.

Ari Gold from Entourage



If someone said that Jeremy Piven's characterization of Ari Gold is the greatest thing ever to happen to a television set, I wouldn't argue with them. Award shows need to be cancelled because of this character. It's not even worth competing with. Just cancel the show, give him all of the awards, and move on.

Don Draper from Mad Men



I was about 30 seconds into s01e01 of Mad Men when I said to myself, "holy shit, this guy is awesome!" Don Draper aka Dick Whitman aka the Boss. If you've never watched Mad Men, you don't know what you're missing. I want to start smoking cigarettes because Don motherfucking Draper smokes them.

Yea I'm definitely missing some really good ones, but this'll do for starters.
