Using their rules:
No puppets or cartoons (because then it’s just Daria, She-Ra, and Cookie Monster)
No mini-series (because there isn’t room for the entire casts of Lonesome Dove and Angels in America)
No reality show people (that means no Anderson Cooper on “The Mole”)
All characters must be regulars on the show (rules out all those people who came on just to improve flagging shows, like Robert Downey Jr. on “Ally McBeal” and Tom Selleck and Paul Rudd on “Friends”)
1) Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar), BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
2) Al Swearengen (Ian McShane), DEADWOOD
3) Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), THE X-FILES
4) Rayanne Graff (AJ Langer), MY SO-CALLED LIFE
5) Jim Halpert (John Krasinski), THE OFFICE
6) Chris Stevens (John Corbett), NORTHERN EXPOSURE
7) Reva Shayne Lewis (Kim Zimmer), GUIDING LIGHT
8) Logan Echolls (Jason Dohring), VERONICA MARS
9) Sam Seaborne (Rob Lowe), THE WEST WING
10) Christian Troy (Julian McMahon), NIP/TUCK
11) Darlene Conner (Sara Gilbert), ROSEANNE
12) Spike (James Marsters), BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
13) David Addison (Bruce Willis), MOONLIGHTING
14) Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham), GILMORE GIRLS
15) Doug Ross (George Clooney), ER
16) Joy Turner (Jaime Pressly), MY NAME IS EARL
17) Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda), MASH
18) Angelus (David Boreanaz), ANGEL
19) Fox Mulder (David Duchovny, THE X-FILES
20) Perry Cox (John C. McGinley), SCRUBS
21) CJ Cregg (Allison Janney), THE WEST WING
22) Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell), VERONICA MARS
23) Lorenzo Lamas (Reno Raines), RENEGADE
24) Karen Walker (Megan Mullally), WILL & GRACE
25) Billy Bob Davis (Billy Bob Thornton), HEARTS AFIRE
This was actually a really tough list because there are several shows that it’s nearly impossible to narrow down to single characters. Really, the casts of “My So-Called Life”, “The West Wing”, “Northern Exposure” and “Veronica Mars” are so uniformly excellent that I wanted to include every single person. But I persevered. It’s a tough job, but someone had to do it.
