Well okay, it's really of the last decade but it's too late for me to change the frakkin thread title.

It's summer, I'm bored, here's yet another meaningless poll:

Best Mom: Flower!
Best Son/Daughter: Lisa Simpson
Best Bro: Peter Petrelli
Best Boss (given the nominees, I think this category is really Worst Boss): Well, how can you compete with Sataaaannnn? :p
Best Underling: nobody crawls like EB Farum
Best Dad: Bill Adama
Best Couple: Ned & Chuck
Best Sis: Debra Morgan (as long as she remains clueless...)
Best Co-Worker: Jim Halpert

In coming weeks...

Best Educator: Laura Roslin (even if that wasn't the job we saw her doing)
Best Voiceover: Mohinder Suresh's charmingly portentous and meaningless babble
Best President: David Palmer
Best Rebel: Kara "Starbuck" Thrace
Best Antihero: Dexter Morgan
Best Boozer: Saul Tigh
Best Spy/Secret Agent: Chuck Bartowski
Best Tough Girl: Debra Morgan
Best Pet/Animal: Eddie from Frasier
Best Cop: Jim Dangle
Best Forensics Expert: Dexter Morgan
Best Private Eye: Emerson Cod
Best Bromance: The Petrelli Boys
Best Doctor: Jack Shephard
Best Sidekick: Olive Snook
Best Love Triangle: They. Don't. EXIST! :wtf:
Best Friends: Ned the Pie Maker and Emerson Cod
Best Villain: Ben Linus
Best Bitch: Helena Cain
Best Supernatural Entity: Satan again
Best Super-Human: Ned the Pie Maker
Best Robot: Bender B. Rodriguez
Best Psychic: Angela Petrelli (even if her visions never do any good)
Best Wife: Marge Simpson
Best Husband: Sam Anders
Best Alien: technically, Bill Adama counts, right?
Best Animated Character: Philip J. Fry

Can't think of: High School Student, College Student, Therapist, Nurse, Neighbor, Exes, or Lawyer. I'm sure someone can enlighten me. :D
 
Wow, those votes are totally skewed towards CW viewers. :lol: Or more accurately, old WB/UPN viewers. All the teen girl shows are winning out. Gilmore Girls, The OC, Supernatural, Buffy, and Veronica Mars characters are winning everything!
 
Best Mom: Carmela Soprano
Best Son/Daughter: Tony Soprano. I mean, when he didn't kill his mother at the end of season 1, after all that she had done to deserve it - just proved he was a big softie under it all.
Best Bro: Michael Schofield Prison Break. Gets self covered in tattoos, goes to jail, loses toes, all to save big bro from the Chair.
Best Boss: Tie between Jed Bartlett, The West Wing and David Palmer, 24. Let's face it, bosses don't get any bigger or better than the POTUS.
Best Underling: Paulie Walnuts, The Sopranos
Best Dad: Red Forman, That 70s Show
Best Couple: Michael Schofield and Sara Tenkretti, Prison Break
Best Sis: Tie between Meadow Soprano (sister to AJ) and Janice Soprano (sister to Tony)
Best Co-Worker: Tony Almeida (before the whole Turning Evil thing)

In coming weeks...

Best Educator: Dr Cox, Scrubs. As much a teacher and mentor (even if he didnt want to be) as he was a doctor
Best Voiceover: The charmingly quirky one in Pushing Daisies
Best President: Jed Bartlett, David Palmer
Best Rebel: Omar, The Wire
Best Antihero: Spike, Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Best Boozer: Jimmy McNulty, The Wire

Best Cop: Andy Sipowicz, NYPD Blue
Best Forensics Expert: Gil Grissom, CSI
Best Private Eye: Emerson Cod, Pushing Daisies

Bingo! I knew there had to be one. Saul Goodman it is.

And I just thought of Best Exes: Saul and Ellen Tigh. Why didn't I think of those two before?
