The Characters You Rooted For - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

C_ME · 01-30-2009, 07:20 PM

I want you to name a TV show and a character that you always wanted to see come out on top at the end of an episode.

Some of mine:

1. Al Bundy - Married With Children

2. Zack Morris - Saved By The Bell (particularly in the episodes where he competes with Slater)

3. Dan Fielding - Night Court

4. Ricky Ricardo - I Love Lucy (Not that I don't love Lucy but I always liked Ricky more)

5. Bobby Budnick - Salute Your Shorts (most misunderstood 'bad boy')

6. Tamera - Sister, Sister

7. Blair - The Facts of Life

8. Martin - Martin (particularly in an insult match against Pam)

9. JT - Step By Step

10. Ted Baxter - Mary Tyler Moore Show

11. George - Seinfeld

Mikado · 01-30-2009, 10:50 PM

Frank Burns (Poor guy didnt have a single friend in the World, and even his own father had treated him poorly, as a child)

Cliff Claven (Someone should have pointed out to that b**ch Carla that she wasnt exactly desirable, or likeable, herself!!!)

Ralph Cramden (You knew none of his schemes would EVER work...but, you kind of wanted to see something go right for the big lovable slob, just once)

Ethel Mertz (Lucy put her through hell, sometimes)

Edith Bunker (She could have divorced under grounds of "mental cruelty" at least once a show!!!!)

Root for Dan? I don't know, the best part was seeing him fail hard to get a hot piece of tail sometimes or get stuck in a strange situation due to Harry's scheming.

Agreed, especially about Carla.

Other characters I always rooted for:

Antonio (Wings)
Ziodberg (Futurama)
Helen (Wings)
JD (Scrubs)

dawsongirl · 02-01-2009, 12:21 AM

Fry - Futurama. It's not his fault he's stupid. lol
David Banner - Incredible Hulk. I swear there's never been someone so unlucky on TV.
Walter Nebicher - Automan. He could close a case, and Boyd was still treating him like ****. Boyd was jealous.

Dan Rydell (Josh Charles) on SportsNight, especially in his quest to win Rebecca Welles' (Teri Polo) heart.

Jeremy Goodwin (Joshua Malina) on SportsNight, because I ALWAYS root for the cute geek to get the impossibly hot girl (Sabrina Lloyd, in this case).

Mackie Bloom (Christopher Murney) on Remember WENN. The 'man of a thousand voices' and a true romantic at heart. Go Mackie.

Scott Sherwood (Kevin O'Rourke) on Remember WENN because his schemes, while conniving and occasionally stupid, were very rooted in his honest desire to make the station profitable.

Always like to see Jaye (Caroline Dhavernas) succeed on Wonderfalls. Her face would absolutely light up when she would win.

Les Nessman (Richard Sanders) on WKRP In Cincinnati, in his never ending quest for respect and integrity, and in his struggle to FINALLY understand sports.
