I was watching TV today, and I decided to compile a list of my favorite TV characters. Here is the first 5, stay tuned for 6-10.

15. James May in Top Gear
This is probably a bad way to start my list because technically, James is not a character, he is a presenter. Top Gear is a British car show that I absolutely love. They do a lot of really crazy stuff, and manage to make some rather cool insights on some awesome cars. I’ve also got to give an honorable mention to one of the other presenters, Richard Hammond. I used to think he was a bit of a pansy, but then he got in a massive wreck while driving a rocket car at over 300 mph. Only a real man could survive that. Here’s a video of Hammond and May turning a Reliant Robin (crappy old British car) into a space ship. Well, at least they tried:

14. Jordan McDeere in Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
I am a fan of this show as are others on this site. Jason may have a mancrush on Matthew Perry, but I think I have a real crush on Amanda Peet. She exudes a cool on this show that you don’t see too often. Plus, this show turned me onto Aaron Sorkin’s shows, including Sports Night and the West Wing. Sports Night wasn’t that great, but the West Wing is stunningly good.

13. Charlie Kelly in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
This is another show many of you probably have on heard of. It’s on FX in the summer time, and it’s probably the funniest thing to come out since Arrested Development. It certainly reminds me of that show a lot anyway. This show is tough to pick a character from because they are all so funny. You should definitely check it out. Here’s a clip of Charlie singing a cool America song:

12. Octavian in Rome
This one is actually tough because I liked the old Octavian from season 1 and some of season 2, but the new one doesn’t have the same dramatic appeal. The old one had this quiet confidence despite his young age that the new one just doesn’t show. It’s still a good show though. Here’s a picture of the previous Octavian:

11. Sam Seaborn in The West Wing
I liked Sam on this show because of his optimism and idealism. It’s nice to see a character in this type of setting who isn’t cynical yet. I also have to give an honorable mention from the West Wing to Charlie Young. He was quiet cool in this show. Here’s a picture of Sam:

Oh, and yes, I do have better things to be doing, but I like to procrastinate.
