Hmmm..

I've watched years of TV, and some of the greatest characters, who have etched an indellible imprint in my mind have to be (in no particular order)...

Hawkeye Pierce (MASH)
Cosmo Kramer (Seinfeld)
Dr. Frasier Crane (Frasier)
Oscar Madison (The Odd Couple)
Ed Norton (Honeymooners)
Edmund Blackadder (Blackadder I-IV)
Capt. James T. Kirk (Star Trek)
Red Forman (That 70's Show)
Archie Bunker (All In The Family)

and, although he's a real guy, he's still a character...

David Letterman (The Late Show WIth David Letterman)
