Default What 1 character do you think they made most realisitic?

What one character do you think they made the most realisitc? What I mean is what is one character you feel that is the most real like.

I think the character Screech on Saved by the Bell sas the most realistic.

He was smart, yet at the same time he had no common sense what so ever. I have an older brother who was real smart but had no common sense what's so ever.

Like one time my brother said wait we have to turn around and go back home and get the keys to my car, he was drving his car my other brother and I laughed real hard and and my brother with no common sense said what are you laughing at and we said you. Then we explained to him you possibly could not drive the car without keys and the keys were in the ignition.

No his car was not hot wired, no it did not start without a key. The key was needed to drive.

Most characters don't seem real to me if you know what I am saying.

Like Steve Urkle how could anyone invent all the things he did?
Eddie Winslow is there anyone really stuck onthemselves that much?
Kelly Bundy anyone really that much of an airhead?
Phoebe Cates(spelling) Friends would anyone actually go to a cafe and amke up songs while they are there and sing them infront of everyone?

Most characters to me seem like they are to scripted read. If you know what I mean.

Screech! You've got to be kidding me. He was one of the most unrealistic people on television. No one person could be that annoying, goofy, and smart at the same time. His character was nowhere near what a normal teenager would be like.

Well, being smart without any common sense sounds autistic to me, and being autistic myself, I sure can see how that can be realistic. However, since I haven't watched "Saved by the bell" for like twelve years, I honestly can't say if the character Screech was realistic or not.

And I'd add James Evans Sr. to the list, he kind of reminded me of my Dad.

Roseanne Conner and family most of the time were very realistic.

Ann Romano Royer of One Day At A Time. TV's first divorcee and she was given real emotions. It was TV's first mom with a temper and she dealt with her daughters the way that many mothers would had dealt with them. It was refreshing to watch and not have a mom never get angry and always under control. Ann was not like that.

I liked Ann and she was given pretty realistic lines but I always felt like she was way too mellow-dramatic. I think she sometimes forgot that she didn't need to project her voice as much as she did in her former theatrical biz.
