In my opinion, The absolute Best Character in TV History is Lucy Ricardo. The reason I pick her is because she's funny, clever, outwitting, smart, scheming and plain out makes the show fun and of the fact that she serves as a role model for both future and past characters that are beyond her time.

Now it's your turn, who do you think is the Best Character in TV History?

Lucy Ricardo or Jack Tripper or Georgre Jefferson or Al Bundy or Chrissy Snow. Phobe from Friends is Mad funny.

Barney Fife or Archie Bunker is the best character in tv history--- imo

Lumpy: Did you go out for anything, Dud?

Dudley: Well, I went out for football, but I got my finger stepped on, so my mother made me quit.

Eddie: Well listen-- I went out for basketball and I got my hair pulled, and my mother made ME quit.

Dudley: It's not that I was afraid of getting hurt or anything; it's just that-- well, it's kind o' hard to play the flute with a busted finger.

[Eddie and Lumpy suppress laughter]

Dale Midkiff is my man! :)

Well ,for me a GREAT character is one that is well defined, protrayed by a great actor/actress and has depth and is not just a one demsisonal creation, and it is hard to pick just one so i nominate the following characters as the best in TV history:

Mary Richards- The Mary Tyler Moore Show
Dorothy Spornak- The Golden Girls
Geogre Jefferson- The Jeffersons
Alex P. Keaton- Family Ties
Lucy Ricardo- I Love Lucy

Ross, i'm Pregnant! What how clould htat happen? i used a condom! Well, condoms are only 95% affective! what, they should put that on the box! they do, Well they should right it in BIG BOLD BLOCK LETTERS!

Archie Bunker

It would be tough to argue against Lucy Ricardo as the "Best Sitcom Character of All Time". Others who should be given consideration for this honor (in my humble opinion), in no particular order, include the following:

Phil Silvers as "Sgt. Ernie Bilko"
Jackie Gleason as "Ralph Kramden"
Dick Van Dyke as "Rob Petrie"
Fred Gynne as "Herman Munster"
Elizabeth Montgomery as "Samatha Stevens"
Henry Winkler as "Fonzie"
Mary Tyler Moore as "Mary Richards"
Redd Foxx as "Fred Sanford"
Howard Hessmann as "Dr. Johnny Fever"
Christopher Lloyd as "Rev. Jim Ignatowski"
Ed O'Neill as "Al Bundy"
Tim Allen as "Tim The Tool Man Taylor"

Lucy Ricardo and Jack Tripper are both soo hilarious!! And LucyCompanyPhan, I agree with u about what you sed about Phoebe from Friends...she really cracks me up too!! I'm not a big fan of the show though...

Chrissy: What part of the body do brains come from?

Terri: Meet our dear friends from France, Pierre and..uh...
Jack: Fifi.

Blair: Look, I know a phony when I see one.
Jo: You should. You spent enough time looking in the mirror.
LOL :D

Of all the greatest TV characters I have seen, Steve Urkel from "Family Matters" is the greatest. He is one of the funniest, nerdiest, and wittiest characters I have ever seen.

1. Jack Tripper[Three's Company]
2. Archie Bunker[All in the Family, Archie Bunker's Place]
3. Lucy Ricardo[I love Lucy]
4. George Jefferson[The Jeffersons]
5. Alex P. Keaton[Family Ties]

I've looked over all my favorite sitcoms and dramas, and my vote goes to Buz Murdock from Route 66. He's got more layers than a 7 layer cake. One minute he's a tough guy, the next minute he's an angel. A character with a real story behind them. I like Tod, but Buz was the better character. The show suffered without him.

Barney Fife and Lucy Ricardo
