Ten Favorite Characters from Television
Posted by mimi on Aug 4, 2009 in dish | 0 comments- Gil Grissom, CSI. He’s brilliant but has issues dealing with people. Endlessly surprising.
- Sheriff Andy Taylor, The Andy Griffith Show. Just the kind of smart Southern gentleman we could use more of.
- The “It’s…” Man (Michael Palin), Monty Python’s Flying Circus. He’s a favorite not for himself, but for what comes right after we see him.
- Julia Sugarbaker, Designing Women. Who wouldn’t love to be able to tell off a jackass who so richly deserves it, and in that droll Dixie Carter voice, to boot?
- Oscar the Grouch. Classic.
- Peggy Hill, King of the Hill. She’s the Texas State Boggle Champion and one heckuva substitute teacher.
- Betty Suarez, Ugly Betty. Cheering for Betty in that snake pit of an office is like rooting for the insecure seventh grade girl inside us all.
- President Jed Bartlett, The West Wing. Too bad real politics doesn’t work out this well.
- Pee Wee Herman, Pee Wee’s Playhouse. Because at Chez mimi, we never get enough of screaming when someone says the secret word.
- Blossom, The Powerpuff Girls. For obvious reasons. Obvious, at least, to my partners in crime. Hey, bossiness and ice breath come in handy.
I had to work to come up with this list, so I guess that’s good. TV hasn’t quite rotted my brain. Yet.
