5 Best and Worst TV Characters (To Watch When You’re Eating?)
OK I add that last bit because I won’t lie….This post has nothing to do with cooking. But the Bones episode currently on Hulu is a Nigel-Murray episode which inspires this list too long for my Twitter and not really Facebook material….sorry guys.
But pretend this list will be instrumental in deciding what TV shows you will watch while eating one of the delicious recipes I have created.
Five Best TV Characters Ever
(in no particular order)
Vincent Nigel-Murray (Bones)
Lab assistant for Dr. Brennan, he is a bottomless pit of trivial knowledge, he’s British, he’s kind of cute and he randomly wins one million dollars on Jeopardy which he loses due to an issue with the hooch.
Abed Nadir (Community)
I realize this show has only had two seasons so far but he is probably one of the most well imagined characters on TV because he is a half Palestinian, half Polish, likely has Asperger’s (which is played for laughs but not at his expense…which is what I like to see), he’s obsessed with pop culture and his occasional emotional trauma can turn the whole cast into clay…nice
Daria (Daria)
Do I have to….because she’s fucking Daria
Clarissa (Clarissa Explains it All)
She was every little girls hero in the 90’s, her best friend used a latter rather then the front door to come visit and she was the single most stylish person I ever saw before the age of 10 (hello ripped jeans and neon tights?! Amazing)
Derrial Book (Shepherd) (Firefly)
Outside of being the best show ever canceled after one season (A. Dubious honor anyone? B. suck it Freaks and Geeks), here is another character who is truly inspired. The perfect picture of morality with an often eluded too dark past, he is both funny and insightful, and is likely a big part of the success on this show. Plus he might have made the list anyway for dialogue jems like (despite the fact that the bible has a lot of info on killing) “it is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps” and my all time favorite “If you take sexual advantage of her, you’re going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater”
Honorable mention Capt. Reynolds (but he’s already a captain…share the glory), and Boyd Crowder (Justified) another very well developed character I thoroughly enjoy watching.
And now:
The Five Worst TV Characters Ever
River (Serenity)
Sorry but by the time the movie rolls around aren’t we all a little tired of the “I’m so sad, and crazy” bit and more then kindof hoping the Alliance actually catches her this time?
Matt McNamara (Nip Tuck)
Hmmm…lets see: He attempts to circumcise himself, dates a lesbian, has a failed three way, is involved in a hit and run, dates a tranny who is sleeping with her son, beats up a transsexual he picked up at a bar, dates a white supremacist, her crazy father tries to get him to kill and bury the aforementioned transsexual, he witness a murder, takes up with his dad’s ex and becomes a Scientologist, gets her pregnant and marries her, stars in a porno, loses all his money to a meth addiction, tries to get into gay porn, blows himself up trying to make meth, turns over a new leaf only then accidentaly have sex with his sister, becomes a mime (you can’t make this up people) then robs coffee shops in full mime get up, goes to jail, becomes someone’s bitch, almost has to get breast implants, is released from prison, meets a nice girl…..and runs off with the Tranny that was sleeping with her son………yeah….worst character ever.
Jenny Schecter (The L Word)
Just plain annoying
Serena Van Der Woodson (Gossip Girl)
I won’t pretend that beyond the amazing fashion featured on the show it is even watchable but in a bevy of annoying characters she is by far the most annoying by constantly whining, eluding to a dark past constantly (which she had when she was 10? How old are these characters supposed to be?) and always commanding a level of trust and respect you should always give an ex-substance abuser…at least the clothes are cute…at least the clothes are cute.
Dawson (Dawson’s Creek)
My sympathies to James Van Der Beek. This character was so annoying that despite being the titular character of the show by the last season he wasn’t even the focus anymore…that’s sad when your on a show chalk-full of whinny characters and even your show thinks your annoying
