Cadged from doeeyedbunny:

a. Post a list of 10 TV fandoms/shows you follow (current or cancelled!)
b. Have your friends list guess your favourite CHARACTER from each show
c. When guessed bold the line and write a sentence about why you like that character

1. Star Trek (the original)
2. The Dick Van Dyke Show
3. M*A*S*H
4. Star Trek: The Next Generation
5. Batman: The Animated Series
ALFRED - He's the voice of reason, the only man who can talk back to Batman, a skileld medic, a father to Bruce and Dick and even Barbara and Tim, and still a gentleman's gentleman. That he still stands out in a show where Batman is human and Jim Gordon is so darned likeable is all the more impressive.
6. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
GILES - He started out as the only adult in a world full of teens and as the smartest man in Sunnydale, and grew to be suave, complex, failable, cool, and (not unlike Alfred) a father to those who had no father. That he stopped being many of these things in season 7 was all the more painful.
7. The Practice
8. Farscape
9. TaleSpin
10. Lost
LOCKE - It's partly Terry O'Quinn's amazing portrayal but it's also the strange mix of affable shaman and creepy zealot. I think that everything on this shows pivots on him at this point.
