The subject says it all. Who's your fave character? My favorite is John Cage.

Tough question. Ally with her egocentrics, John Cage, so caring and nuts and Richard Fish made me laugh like crazy.
Vampish Elaine, the twin bitches Nell and Ling, Georgia and Billy...each character was so unique. I have to think about this.

It is kind of hard picking a favorite character. I might've said John, but I really and truly liked each character. I love how they did the Ling character and everytime they showed her walking into the firm they'd play that Wicked Witch music.

Now that I've given it some thought, I have to agree with Jenny and say that John Cage is my favorite character. He's complex without being annoying as Ally could be. John was a loyal friend and a smart man.
He would dominate any scene he was in. I loved his courtroom scenes the best. No matter how much he twitched, squealed or infuriated the judge, he always got his point across.

I didn't enjoy Ally as much when he just about left the show.

John and Ally fit so perfectly together. You know, if Peter had stayed on and they hadn't canceled the show I bet they could've gotten John and Ally together.

Whenever I catch the episodes in reruns, I look at John and Nell and they did have that opposites attract thing going for them- but they just didn't have that zing going for them. I believe if they had gotten John and Ally together it would've been some good plot lines.

Speaking of Nell, what happened to her character? I realize that she was supposed to be an Ice Queen, but she turned into such a cold bitch in some of those episodes.

I haven't seen many episodes but my favorites are John and Ling. I especially enjoyed John's courtroom scenes.

It's got to be Ally!!!
I always used to say that the show must be titled with my name because I'm real life Ally!!! lol

John Cage. I think Peter MacNicol is brilliant.
