Your Top 10 Favorite TV Characters of all time - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

OH Nuts! · 08-26-2007, 02:05 PM

It seems all of us here are serious sitcom fans, and over the years and through the many shows, there are characters who have touched us in some way, perhaps making us think if these people were real I'd love to know them or have them in my life or I really admire them and what they stand for or I just like them to pieces . I'd prefer not to start, as I'm firming up my list. Just thought this might be fun if it hasn't been done yet. Anyone want to give it a go?

Mary-Ann in first place? Since when?
