50 All-time Greatest Characters in Television History: Introduction



TV shows have now been available, to some extent, for over 75 years. Of course, most people did not even own a television set well into the 1950s. So, after sifting through a rigorous survey of all the critically-acclaimed programs (and some less heralded), we have nailed down the 50 greatest TV characters ever. Longevity helps, which is why Senator/Vice President Frank Underwood only merits honorable mention at this time. Tobias Funke also brought tears of laughter to all of us at times, but his appearances did not quite make the show what it was, so he stands as a blue mention of honor. Also, just to make things interesting, if a particular TV character concluded his or her program still alive, we assumed that their character dies along with the actor (when applicable). For example, Agent Maxwell Smart never really died, but Don Adams died in 2005. With that, we feel like Agent Smart passed away in 2005 along with Adams. Please feel free to post your agreements or disagreements with our list, but more importantly, try to see things our way. **THERE ARE MAJOR SPOILERS INSIDE, SO PROCEED WITH CAUTION**
