It’s Just Me

So this last week, I’ve noticed a few TV blogs with top 10 lists of the author’s favorite TV characters on current TV.  How can I pass up this chance to chime in with my take on the subject?

10.  Chuck Bartowski – (CHUCK) – how can you not love this guy?  Adorable, innocent, helpful, funny, and madly in love with someone he can’t have (yet).  Sigh.

9 & 8. Leonard AND Sheldon (BIG BANG THEORY) – these guys consistently have me laughing OUT LOUD – both have been perfectly cast, and their quirks and geeky nuances are perfection.  What a combo!

7.  Sawyer (LOST) – his nick-name abilities never cease to entertain.

6. Barney Stinson (HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER) – his ratio chart sealed this deal.  That was entirely funny.  I will forever be a Barney fan.

5.  Dwight Shrute – (THE OFFICE) – his crying scene in the stairwell was what I deem EMMY WORTHY.  If you haven’t seen it, go find it NOW.

4.  Jack Donaughy (30 ROCK) – I have adored seeing how funny Alec Baldwin has been all these years when guesting on SNL, but when he took on the role of Jack, true TV bliss was born.  The man is a comic genius.  And I love the way he calls Liz “LEMON”.

3.  Jack Shepard (LOST) – reasons: the way he portrays his anguish, his acts of heroism, and always wanting to do the right thing for everyone, and how he looks with that stubble.

2. Jim Halpert (THE OFFICE) – the most romantic thing I’ve ever seen on TV is Jim’s undying love for his Pam.  I would personally like to thank who ever it was that hired JK for this role.  He has become part of my daily vocabulary (“Wow.”), and I make at least 10 “Jim faces” a day.  XOXO Jim Halpert.

1. Benjamin Linus (LOST) – I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again.  No other character on TV scares me more, no other character has been so manipulative and convincing and intense as this guy.  Right from the start, he was TV’s biggest mystery to solve, and we’re still salivating while trying to figure him out.
