Best character now on tv other than House
Deliberately fictional programming only, please.

My vote is for Dr. Cox on Scrubs.

Yours?

1. Alan Shore on Boston Legal.
A tough choice between Shore and Denny Crane.

9. Alan Shore, for sure.
A brilliant lawyer, passionate liberal, and dedicated friend. A debauched rascal with a big soft vulnerable underbelly. And funny as hell.

7. I've only seen one episode of House...
And that was almost a year ago, but Dr. House kinda reminds me of Miguel Ferrer's character from Twin Peaks.

12. I love how 'Scrubs' pointed out their similarities this year.
:D

Tie for me between Percival and Alan Shore. Cox for his rants and Alan for his trial closings. :-)

23. OMG, yes!
Thank you for posting that link! :rofl: Dwight is hilarious - whenever I'm having a bad day, I watch clips of him on YouTube and I'm almost always smiling within five minutes. :) Rainn Wilson is great.

21. That guy on TV who pretends to be the president.
He's a comic genius. I don't know how he convinced Congress to play along with him for his state of the union routine, but it is a laugh riot. I sure would hate to be in any country that put that moron in charge! Thank God for President Gore!
:rofl:


huh? What do you mean? :shrug:

Oh, fuck. :scared:
