Baby Billy is my favorite character in RG, but his character in Vice Principles beats its by a mile. A couple miles. Lee Russell is one of the best all time characters.

Then make sure they're in separate brackets so the finals can be Goggins V Goggins.

Fine with me Let me finish up the sports one first if you dont mind.

The better one, imo, is the best sitcom of all time. Thats one that has been suggested multiple times.

The only thing that would make the character bracket tuff is that so many people like different characters from each show. There are multiple characters from each show that are a toss up for me at least. You're going to get hounded by "man he's not even the best character on the show this thing sucks." Also, doing only paid network shows would limit the amount of voters/ballots.

Just a few thoughts from a guy who has been bitched at a lot for doing something just for fun

Do what now?

If you have to choose one from the show, surely it would be Tyrion, no?

I can think of 5+ characters on there better than Arya (and I like Arya).

So many great characters hard to pick the top. But I would go with Larry David, Tony Soprano or Omar Little as my top 3.



For my underrated I go with this gem.

Well GOT characters aren’t created by HBO, so they’re Invalid.

Omar
Kenny Powers
Lee Russell
Al Swearengen
Noho Hank
Larry David
Ari Gold

And my addition: Jonah Ryan

I was wondering why he wasn't getting any love. He was a great psychopathic villain. J.K. Simmons nailed it.

I guess what was just mentioned about the Got characters arent HBO characters so its kind of invalid, but, just to keep the conversation going...

Arya is my favorite book character (BY FAR) and it transferred over well for quite a while. Like %99 of things, I hope her book character goes a different direction than the show.

I %100 see why Tyrion is most peoples favorite, and he's one of mine. But Arya's story for 5 books/seasons gave me the feels a little more, had a little more character development and was more badass for the most part.

Also, as far as the show goes, I dont put Dinklage's acting on a pedestal/think he was the best actor. Thats blasphemy for most, but because people are so blown away by his acting, I think it's overrated. Not that I dont think he is a good actor, just a little overrated. There were multiple occasions where he was trying to muter up tears and couldnt do it. Downvotes im sure for even slightly hating on his character.

Tony Soprano is #1 by a mile.

The rest of the top 10 should be:
Larry David as himself
Leon Black
Paulie Walnuts
Rust Cohle
Ari Gold
Hank Kingsley
Noho Hank
Erlich Bachman (with Jian Yang)
Marty Funkhauser

Cant think of a single reason why I would like his character at all. I mean props to Gleeson for bringing him to life but he is one of my least favorite characters of all time.

If you say you like a person better than another, then you could live with that person being on the how opposed to the other right? I hate his character, so in no way would I prefer a spoiled evil brat over one of the deepest and easy to roof for characters on the show.
