@@chaddon7685but wtf u expect for the list like oe these . What if these ranks are not actual ranking as in comparing these characters infact jus acknowledging these characters which is what they are doing ? How tf are they gonna narrow down best characters out of sea of good characters out there and leave up to your expectations?
@itsbonkerjojo9028 What are you rambling about? Creating a set criteria of factors makes it easier to objectively generate a list like that. It's not, "these are our FAVORITE characters" but "GREATEST." Something like that requires a modicum of objectivity. Cultural impact, how humorous, effectiveness of drama, fan appeal, etc. Honestly, I don't even care what categories, just something we can consider to kind of guess why people are where they are. I'm sorry if this obviously innocuous desire of mine magically offended you.

Michael Scott not making it into the top 100 is insane. Dwight deserved a spot, but you could’ve had two for The Office like you did for GoT. I also think Matthew McConaughey’s Rust from True Detective is a masterpiece of a character.
Yeah... Mike not making it over everyone else seems to ignore the show quality after he left. It became obvious how much he carried the show as a character.
We can debate this list for days. I'm still shocked that out of 100 characters, Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock Holmes didn"t appear on this list. He didn't even receive an honorable mention :(
Yes, I love these mega long lists. Abed is definitely one of my favourite characters of all time, and I'm looking forward to seeing him in the upcoming movie.
Some of my personal favorites, in no particular order: Rick Grimes(The Walking Dead), Daryl Dixon (The Walking Dead, Frasier Crane(Frasier), Niles Crane(Frasier), Dr. Green (ER), Dr. House (House), Dr. Sheldon Cooper(The Big Bang Theory), Sam and Dean Winchester (Supernatural), Jadzia Dax (Deep Space Nine), Spock (Original Star Trek) Uncle Phil(Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire)
Absolute banger list. Rick is an underrated legend. The scene where he bites a chunk of that guys neck out to stop another guy from raping Carl…that scene stuck with everyone.
For me, Annalise Keating from How To Get Away With Murder is one of my favorite television characters. Her morally questionable actions come from her own experiences, and is definitely not afraid to get her hands dirty to get her job done. Viola Davis absolutely killed it in that show.
Omg she’s hilarious. I personally think she’s an awful person but it makes her more lovable and interesting. The way she frames everybody and defends guilty people 😂
Rick grimes being not included is the biggest crime imaginable. I was so shocked at him not being top 3😅. Some other Honorable mentions/ people who should have been included, i randomly thought of Jerry senfield Bart Simpson Phillip J fry Micheal Scott Bender Unlce Jesse (full house) Snoopy Popeye Carlton ( fresh prince) Shawn Spencer (this is probably very bias) Alan or Charlie from two and half men Louise Belcher (but maybe Tina or Bob instead) Morty Smith maybe Tom and Jerry Peter griffin Jessie pinkman
Ash Ketchum- Pokemon franchise Agumon- Digimon franchise Tim Taylor- Home Improvement Al Bundy- Married... With Children Mo Howard- Three Stooges Lonnie Jamison- In the Heat of the Night Mr. T- The A-Team Ben Matlock- Matlock Harry Stone- Night Court Mike Brady- Brady Bunch Luke Duke- Dukes of Hazzard.
I can’t believe Olivia Benson was so far down your list! She’s one of the best characters on a police procedural ever, and the show has been on for nearly 25 years. The thing that really gets me about Mariska Hargitay is how she has completely taken her job to heart. She started The Joyful Heart foundation in 2004, an educational and advocacy organization for victims of sexual assault, child abuse, and and domestic violence. She even took on police force and governmental issues with testing backlogged rape kits (that just sit there, completely untested). The foundation is working to gain legislation to get the backlog tested and to make sure it never happens again. Her character is amazing, as is the actress herself.♥️♥️
I think the entire muppet cast of Sesame Street are iconic. From the likes of Big Bird, Elmo, Telly, Bert & Ernie, Grover, Zoe, Cookie Monster, Abby, and more.
Soooo glad you had both Sam AND Dean Winchester (even if they were all the way at 99 lol) Supernatural is easily one of my all time favorite shows of ALL TIME
@@chaddon7685 Right, I would've DEFINITELY had them much higher, and they both deserve there own spot of course, but considering that this is Watchmojo and they could have easily just been left off entirely (and I honestly thought they might've left em off before I watched, Supernatural often gets overlooked) I'll take it. Also I just want to throw this out there. It's a crime that both Rick Grimes from TWD and Michael Scott from The Office weren't even on the list. Both of them MADE there respective shows. They deserve a spot SOMEWHERE in the top ONE HUNDRED without a doubt. But eh whatever, I know Daryl was on the list to represent TWD and Dwight for The Office, but still.
Tony Soprano should have been #1. Without him Walter White would not exist and Gandolfini's acting and character depth was quantum leaps ahead of Cranston's
I disagree personally. I love both characters and shows but the performances are at a very similar level. Perhaps Tony's depth just edges Walter's though
This was a great list. The biggest disappointment for me, though, was that Mads Mikkelsen's Hannibal wasn't on this list. Such an amazingly complex character and one of the best performances by an actor I've ever seen on TV.
It's always tough to come up with any list having to do with the top TV characters of all time so there are bound to be snubs. For example, Dan Fielding of Night Court, Jack Tripper of Three's Company, Mr. Rogers, Dr. Perry Cox from Scrubs, George Jefferson of The Jeffersons, Dr. Johnny Fever from WKRP in Cincinnati, Basil Fawlty from Fawlty Towers, Sam Beckett from Quantum Leap, etc.
For me Walter White is definitely the best,his transformation from shy school teacher to ruthless and cunning drug kingpin is one of the best things i have seen on tv shows.Great that you Homer and Tony Soprano in top 5,really great characters
@@Stormtrooper-oc4vnboth are fantastic characters. Hard to pick two objectively better than those two. My personal top five favorites are Dexter Morgan, walter white, homelander, elliot alderson, and joe Goldberg. Other great characters that aren’t necessarily in my top five-ten favorites are cersei Lannister, Jamie Lannister, bubbles from the wire, tony soprano, paulie from sopranos, Polly grey, raven rayes, tony soprano, Don Draper and roger sterling, Logan roy etc… there’s so many great tv characters
So , They just made him a better character with soprano as the base , and the only thing that walter white has in common with soprano is that both of them are anti heroes , that's about it .@@Stormtrooper-oc4vn
@@tomhardy2099 Do you really think that the only thing these two characters have in common is that they are just antiheroes? Let me tell you, you missed a lot. And no, Walter White is just the shadow of Tony Soprano.
I’m surprised a lot of characters from other shows were not mentioned at all. I kinda expected characters like Elmo - Sesame Street Bob - Bob’s Burgers Gibbs - NCIS Gir - Invader Zim Hank Hill - King of the Hill Bones - Bones Mr. Feeny - Boy meets World Uncle Jesse - Full House Al Bundy - Marriage with Children Norman Bates - Bates Motel Courage - Courage the Cowardly Dog Samurai Jack - Samurai Jack Pikachu - Pokemon Wilt - Foster’s Home of Imaginary Friends Tom the Cat - Tom and Jerry Bender - Futurama Chucky Finster - Rugrats Dexter - Dexter’s Laboratory Etc etc.
You missed a few remarkable characters. Dr. Reid from Criminal Minds, Jessie Pinkman from Breaking Bad, Michael Scofield from Prison Break , Michael Weston from Burn Notice, and Raymond Reddington from the Blacklist. All of these characters are a lot more pivotal to their show than a lot of characters on your list. These characters provided a large portion of the heart, sound and critical development necessary for the shows they were part of to allow for each show’s longevity and endurance with the spectators of each show.
You guys left out both Wilson AND Mr. Feeny? I get that you can only put so many TV personalities into a list, but these two characters are legendary sage neighbours that hugely helped the plot of most of the episodes of their respective shows. At least include one of them
Mostly happy with this list. Walter White being number 1 is awesome, Don Draper and Tyrion Lannister being high up is great. Sam & Dean Winchester being on the list at all makes me sooo happy (Supernatural is one of my favorite shows and it often gets overlooked on lists like this) But a few things I can't believe: No Michael Scott, No Frank Castle (The Punisher), No Jax Teller, No Hank Hill... but the biggest one honestly is NO RICK GRIMES!? I actually can't believe that, he MADE that show!
And the authors for all 3 series give them all unbelievably amazing charzcter defining moments. Tony has his trip to the desert where he screams “I GET IT” at the universe. Omar has the scene where Bunk tells him that kids are glorifying the legend of Omar little and it makes them both kinda sick. And don has the scene where he drops the act and tells everyone his maternal figure was a prostitute and the only memory he has if Hershey’s is stealing money from Johns and buying one at the store. All are truly 11/10 characters. For me my top 3 are Probably Jimmy Mcnulty from the wire, Riener Braun from attack on titan and Uncle Iroh from The last Airbender
Honorable mentions: Popeye the sailor: A mumbling spinach-eating muscle bound oldie but goodie. The Eds: Ed Edd n Eddy. No matter which one you pick, you're guaranteed to get some laughs Chowder: A purple hungry chef's apprentice who is relatable in more ways than one. Wander and Sylvia: Wander over yonder. A cheerful friend and a rock hard fighter make for a fun duo. Bender: Futurama. Those who disagree can bite his shiny metal a$$.
Spike and Willow from Buffy should have also earned a place. Their growth and development over the seasons is even better than that of Buffy, I'd argue. Good people who get corrupted by evil and then eventually find their own way to redemption.
I'm so glad Sam and Dean made it on here!! Some HM: Jonathan and/or Clark from "Smallville" Bones and Booth from "Bones" Walker from "Walker, Texas Ranger" Sgt Greg Parker from "Flashpoint" Uncle Jesse from "The Dukes of Hazzard" Danny, Jesse, and Joey from "Full House" Laura and/or Charles Ingalls from "The Little House on the Prairie" Dan Conner from "Roseanne" Clair Huxtable from "The Cosby Show" Uncle Phil from "The Fresh Prince" Frank Reagan from "Blue Bloods"
Sonny Crockett and Tubbs deserved a spot simply for how culturally significant they still are. John Reese from Person of Intrest. Raylan Givens from Justified. Jake Peralta from Brooklyn 99. Dave Chappelle from Chappelle's Show. Last but not the least, Tom & Jerry.

f I were to make additions to this list, I'd have LOVED seeing *DEMONA* from Gargoyles! She's probably the most developed and unique character and still has a fan following!
WatchMojo never disappoints me with there incredible content. Some of my favorites that I hope make the list. Dr. Spencer Reid (Criminal Minds) and Dr. Perry Cox (Scrubs).
"I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange"-Dale Cooper-that quote feels applicable to so many situations lol.
I was honestly expecting to see Uncle Ruckus on this list. It's rare when every line from a character is comedy gold. He also is a somewhat relatable person that is written in such a way that despite his racism, he can't be blamed for any of it.
I really hope BoJack Horseman will make it on the list(although he is clearly not a morally good character, he's one of if not the best written TV character I saw). And hopefully even Fry or Bender will make it on the list.
Not having Prince Zuko on here is INSANE. He had the most emotional backstory out of everyone in Avatar, and the way he slowly developed into the character that he did was nearly as good as Walter White.
Given so many not well known or even liked characters in this list, where's each Blackadder? Where's Rene Artois or Otto Flick or Helga Geerhart or Michelle Dubois or Officer Crabtree or many others from 'Allo 'Allo? Where's Alf Stokes of You Rang M'Lord? Where's Alf for that matter? Where's Hyacinth Bucket, or Daisy or Onslow and the rest of the characters from Keeping Up Appearances? Where's Basil Fawlty of Fawlty Towers? Where's Jim Hacker or Humphrey Appleby of the Yes Minister? Where's the original Addams' Family's Morticia and Gomez of Carolyn Jones and John Astin respectively? Or the crew of Serenity, eg. Malcolm Reynolds by N.Fillion or River Tam by Summer Blau? Where's Rembrandt Brown from Sliders? Or Sam Beckett and Al Calavicci from Quantum Leap? Where's the whole A-team? Where's Jarod and Miss Parker from The Pretender? Or Douglas Fargo or Jo Lupo from Eureka? Or the Warehouse 13 agents? Where's Harold Finch and John Reese of Person of Interest? Or Richard Castle of Castle? Or the Solomons of 3rd Rock From The Sun? Or Michael Garibaldi or Londo Mollari of Babylon 5? Or Adam Quark of Quark? Or from animated world, where's Bender of Futurama, he easily rivals Simpsons or Family Guy characters, doesn't he?
Was just talking about my personal top 3 with a group of people recently: ³: "Dean" Craig Pelton • _Community_ ²: Chrisjen Avasarala • _The Expanse_ ¹: Gus Fring • _Breaking Bad_ Hopefully they're all on this list somewhere.
Depends whether we are talking only serious characters or comedy or both. Barney Fife was one of the most iconic TV characters in the history of television, so were Walter White, Dwight Schrute, Ron Swanson and Tyrion Lannister. I’m looking forward to seeing this list.

Other great characters that aren’t necessarily in my top five-ten favorites are cersei Lannister, Jamie Lannister, bubbles from the wire, tony soprano, paulie from sopranos, Polly grey, raven rayes, tony soprano, Don Draper and roger sterling, Logan roy etc… there’s so many great tv characters
So , They just made him a better character with soprano as the base , and the only thing that walter white has in common with soprano is that both of them are anti heroes , that's about it .@@Stormtrooper-oc4vn
@@tomhardy2099 Do you really think that the only thing these two characters have in common is that they are just antiheroes? Let me tell you, you missed a lot. And no, Walter White is just the shadow of Tony Soprano.
Here's my Top 10
1. Frank Underwood
2. Don Draper
3. Thomas Shelby
4. Littlefinger & Varys
5. Walter White & Tony Soprano
6. Tywin Lannister
7. Logan Roy
8. Tyrion Lannister
9. Cersei Lannister
10. Gus Fring
Honorable Mentions
Serlock Holmes
Saul Goodman
Jaime Lannister
Claire Underwood
Hannibal Lecter
I already approve because you have Littlefinger where he deserves
Rest In Peace Adam west
But he will go down in TV history as the best Batman ever.
Make the Top 100 Greatest Movie Characters, Video Game Characters, and Fictional Characters of All Time.
My mom loves Tommy Shelby in Pleakly Blinders. It’s one of her favorite shows
The fact that Andy Sipowicz is not even on the list, when he should have been in the top five means you have not done your homework.
Woulda loved to see Patrick Jane somewhere on here. As well as either Clark Kent or Lex Luthor from Smallville.
Alright, Avatar Aang! He might be a child at the age of 112 years old but he’s a cool character. The voice actor is amazing
I’m surprised a lot of characters from other shows were not mentioned at all. I kinda expected characters like
Elmo - Sesame Street
Bob - Bob’s Burgers
Gibbs - NCIS
Gir - Invader Zim
Hank Hill - King of the Hill
Bones - Bones
Mr. Feeny - Boy meets World
Uncle Jesse - Full House
Al Bundy - Marriage with Children
Norman Bates - Bates Motel
Courage - Courage the Cowardly Dog
Samurai Jack - Samurai Jack
Pikachu - Pokemon
Wilt - Foster’s Home of Imaginary Friends
Tom the Cat - Tom and Jerry
Bender - Futurama
Chucky Finster - Rugrats
Dexter - Dexter’s Laboratory
Etc etc.
Tony Shalhoub's Adrian Monk (from the series Monk) better be on this list.
EDIT: Yay, #52!
I legitimately predicted the top 50. But would include much more characters from mid 20th century shows
790: I’m SO HAPPY that Stewie Griffin is on this list. He’s my favorite character from Family Guy
how does Raymond Reddington never get a mention for these lists - always will be number one greatest character in my eyes
I haven’t watched Columbo in years… but that, “Just one more thing” always made me smile. Gotta go back and find it…
Why are Spock from Star trek, Norm from Cheers and Karen Walker from Will and Grace not on this list?
I’m just so happy that my Special Agent Dale Cooper made it onto this list in some way!
You missed a few remarkable characters. Dr. Reid from Criminal Minds, Jessie Pinkman from Breaking Bad, Michael Scofield from Prison Break , Michael Weston from Burn Notice, and Raymond Reddington from the Blacklist. All of these characters are a lot more pivotal to their show than a lot of characters on your list. These characters provided a large portion of the heart, sound and critical development necessary for the shows they were part of to allow for each show’s longevity and endurance with the spectators of each show.
Mickey Mouse should’ve been a part of this list 😢
You guys left out both Wilson AND Mr. Feeny?
I get that you can only put so many TV personalities into a list, but these two characters are legendary sage neighbours that hugely helped the plot of most of the episodes of their respective shows. At least include one of them
True
Number one is absolute the number one!
BoJack at 85 is criminal. top 25 at LEAST.
Saying this before I watch, the Doctor better be top 20 at least
Did you make it to the top 10?
I love this list!
Since my dad was a kid, he La-La-La-Loves Bugs Bunny. It’s his childhood while his mom likes Daffy Duck
Mostly happy with this list. Walter White being number 1 is awesome, Don Draper and Tyrion Lannister being high up is great. Sam & Dean Winchester being on the list at all makes me sooo happy (Supernatural is one of my favorite shows and it often gets overlooked on lists like this)
But a few things I can't believe: No Michael Scott, No Frank Castle (The Punisher), No Jax Teller, No Hank Hill... but the biggest one honestly is NO RICK GRIMES!? I actually can't believe that, he MADE that show!
Yup! I don’t even know why I watch Watchmojo! I have never agreed with a list from the 6-7years I have been subscribed lol
Tony Soprano and Omar Little and Don Draper are tied for #1 for me.
And the authors for all 3 series give them all unbelievably amazing charzcter defining moments. Tony has his trip to the desert where he screams “I GET IT” at the universe. Omar has the scene where Bunk tells him that kids are glorifying the legend of Omar little and it makes them both kinda sick. And don has the scene where he drops the act and tells everyone his maternal figure was a prostitute and the only memory he has if Hershey’s is stealing money from Johns and buying one at the store. All are truly 11/10 characters. For me my top 3 are Probably Jimmy Mcnulty from the wire, Riener Braun from attack on titan and Uncle Iroh from The last Airbender
Don's great but I'd trade him for Walter but otherwise spot on
The ranking of him is a disgrace 😅
But Walter White is great, too 🙏🏻
@@Agatino1 But not the best
Honorable mentions:
Popeye the sailor: A mumbling spinach-eating muscle bound oldie but goodie.
The Eds: Ed Edd n Eddy. No matter which one you pick, you're guaranteed to get some laughs
Chowder: A purple hungry chef's apprentice who is relatable in more ways than one.
Wander and Sylvia: Wander over yonder. A cheerful friend and a rock hard fighter make for a fun duo.
Bender: Futurama. Those who disagree can bite his shiny metal a$$.
I'm surprised you didn't include anyone from scrubs. Dr. Cox was such an interesting character who grew throughout the series.
Spike and Willow from Buffy should have also earned a place. Their growth and development over the seasons is even better than that of Buffy, I'd argue. Good people who get corrupted by evil and then eventually find their own way to redemption.
I'm so glad Sam and Dean made it on here!!
Some HM:
Jonathan and/or Clark from "Smallville"
Bones and Booth from "Bones"
Walker from "Walker, Texas Ranger"
Sgt Greg Parker from "Flashpoint"
Uncle Jesse from "The Dukes of Hazzard"
Danny, Jesse, and Joey from "Full House"
Laura and/or Charles Ingalls from "The Little House on the Prairie"
Dan Conner from "Roseanne"
Clair Huxtable from "The Cosby Show"
Uncle Phil from "The Fresh Prince"
Frank Reagan from "Blue Bloods"
The iconic SpongeBob is Number 20! He’s the staple of my childhood mixed with Tom & Jerry and Popeye
I love that when I started this Barney from how I met your mother popped up and it’s on my tv now😂
Like the list, but it missed Al Bundy, Basil Fawlty, Edmund Blackadder, Richard Richard, Simon Adebisi, Vic Mackey and Al Swearengen.
All of the Downton abby cast deserve to have the top spots. That is by far thw best show out there.
Can you do a movie character version of this as well?
Glad you had Captain Picard on this list, but Mr. Spock should have been on here as well.
I don't even watch Star Trek, yet I expected Mr. Spock to be in the Top 30!
Great List Nice
1. Tony Soprano
2. Archie Bunker
3. Homer Simpson
In my opinion
Sonny Crockett and Tubbs deserved a spot simply for how culturally significant they still are.
John Reese from Person of Intrest.
Raylan Givens from Justified.
Jake Peralta from Brooklyn 99.
Dave Chappelle from Chappelle's Show.
Last but not the least, Tom & Jerry.
I agree with Raylan Givens

Ooh… this is gonna be exciting!
f I were to make additions to this list, I'd have LOVED seeing *DEMONA* from Gargoyles! She's probably the most developed and unique character and still has a fan following!
WatchMojo never disappoints me with there incredible content. Some of my favorites that I hope make the list. Dr. Spencer Reid (Criminal Minds) and Dr. Perry Cox (Scrubs).
"I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange"-Dale Cooper-that quote feels applicable to so many situations lol.
My dad loves SpongeBob SquarePants. We watch the show together from DVD.
SpongeBob is going to be high on the list
Nope
I didn't realise this video is 56 min long even though she is counting down from 100
Would have loved to see Susie Myerson on the list. Alex did such an amazing job with that character.
My 2 favourites are Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad and Michael Scofield from Prison Break.
Michael Scofield is amazing so badass
I was honestly expecting to see Uncle Ruckus on this list. It's rare when every line from a character is comedy gold. He also is a somewhat relatable person that is written in such a way that despite his racism, he can't be blamed for any of it.
I knew when I didn't see Tony Soprano in the first 90 I knew he was in the top 10.
Not including Rick Grimes in a top 100 but putting Walter White at 1 is a crime. Rick should be 1 or 2 after walter. The goats of TV shows
If you think Rick better than Tony soprano you have t watched the sopranos
Great List
Nice List
I really hope BoJack Horseman will make it on the list(although he is clearly not a morally good character, he's one of if not the best written TV character I saw). And hopefully even Fry or Bender will make it on the list.
“If only I knew, the view from halfway down”
Awesome as always🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Michael Westen-Burn Notice should be here too. Jeff Donovan was fantastic in this show
Not having Prince Zuko on here is INSANE. He had the most emotional backstory out of everyone in Avatar, and the way he slowly developed into the character that he did was nearly as good as Walter White.
Given so many not well known or even liked characters in this list, where's each Blackadder? Where's Rene Artois or Otto Flick or Helga Geerhart or Michelle Dubois or Officer Crabtree or many others from 'Allo 'Allo? Where's Alf Stokes of You Rang M'Lord? Where's Alf for that matter? Where's Hyacinth Bucket, or Daisy or Onslow and the rest of the characters from Keeping Up Appearances? Where's Basil Fawlty of Fawlty Towers? Where's Jim Hacker or Humphrey Appleby of the Yes Minister? Where's the original Addams' Family's Morticia and Gomez of Carolyn Jones and John Astin respectively? Or the crew of Serenity, eg. Malcolm Reynolds by N.Fillion or River Tam by Summer Blau? Where's Rembrandt Brown from Sliders? Or Sam Beckett and Al Calavicci from Quantum Leap? Where's the whole A-team? Where's Jarod and Miss Parker from The Pretender? Or Douglas Fargo or Jo Lupo from Eureka? Or the Warehouse 13 agents? Where's Harold Finch and John Reese of Person of Interest? Or Richard Castle of Castle? Or the Solomons of 3rd Rock From The Sun? Or Michael Garibaldi or Londo Mollari of Babylon 5? Or Adam Quark of Quark? Or from animated world, where's Bender of Futurama, he easily rivals Simpsons or Family Guy characters, doesn't he?
Was just talking about my personal top 3 with a group of people recently:
³: "Dean" Craig Pelton • _Community_
²: Chrisjen Avasarala • _The Expanse_
¹: Gus Fring • _Breaking Bad_
Hopefully they're all on this list somewhere.
Awesome list! For me I would have Pierce Hawthorne in top 10😭
Best Characters: Bart Simpson, Daffy Duck, Bojack Horseman, Summer Smith, Grover
I vote for Gracie Allen, Carol Burnette, Brian Kinney, Edith Bunker, The Honeymooners, Winnie The Pooh.
I Scrolled & Scrolled Down These Comments & to my Surprise Nobody Mentioned Jax Teller From Sons of Anarchy 😟 Definitely Should’ve Been on The List
Depends whether we are talking only serious characters or comedy or both. Barney Fife was one of the most iconic TV characters in the history of television, so were Walter White, Dwight Schrute, Ron Swanson and Tyrion Lannister. I’m looking forward to seeing this list.
We all know the legendary Dwight Shrudt will be up there
Michael Scott will be higher probably
@@נירבראהרוןShould have been. Only one character left when the show started to go downhill. And it wasn't Dwight.
KING RAGNER LOTHBROK
JAX TELLER
MICHAEL SCOFIELD
RICK GRIMES ….etc.
SpongeBob, Walter White, Tony Soprano better be on here
I’m tryna see Muscle man or Pops as well.
Damn, no Klaus Mikaelson, not even Damon or Stefan.
Rick grimes got snubbed
Very Happy that Matt Murdoch made the list
No Alex P. Keaton or Basil Fawlty but it does have Sabrina Spellman. Nonsense...
There's other overlooked iconic characters are Fred Flintstone,Vinnie Barbarino,Kojak,Sonny Crockett,Jim Rockford,George Jetson,Thomas Magnum,Napoleon Solo,B,A Baracus,Barney Miller,J J Evans,Colonel Steve Austin,Jill Monroe,Pepper Anderson,C.J Parker,James West,Dr.Spock,Herman Munster,Carol Brady,Speed Racer,Ironside,Huggy Bear,Oscar Madison,Huckleberry Hound,Brian the Dog,Yogi Bear,Scrooge McDuck,Hong Kong Phooey,Marshell Dillon,Rowdy Yates,Dexter Morgan,Fat Albert,Daisy Duke,Popeye,George Castaneda,Lois Lane,Pink Panther,Spiderman,Wonder Woman,The Grunch,Papa Smurf,Ralph Kramden,Dan Conner,Hoss Cartwright and Steve McGarrett.
