Characters from The Simpsons, Scrubs, and The Wire
Perhaps even more than your average movie, a TV show lives and dies by how good its characters are, simply because most ask viewers to spend so much time with these fictional people. It’s easy to get attached when you dedicate numerous hours to watching characters grow, change, or become worse, and as such, writers have the potential to realize some amazing character development through the television format.
19 Barry Zuckerkorn 'Arrested Development' Henry Winkler is an actor who’s appeared in his fair share of iconic shows across numerous decades now. It’s probably safe to assume that he’s most well-known to people over a certain age because of his role as The Fonz in Happy Days, and being most well-known to people under that same certain age for his role as Gene Cousineau in Barry.
17 Jet Black 'Cowboy Bebop' Cowboy Bebop has a pretty small main cast, all things considered, with a total of five characters appearing in the majority of episodes, and everyone else being recurring or one-off characters. Spike, as the protagonist, naturally feels like a dominant presence. Faye probably gets the most emotional of backstories, and then Ed and Ein shine on account of being comic relief characters .
15 Steven Gomez 'Breaking Bad' Poor Steven Gomez, or “Gomie” to his friends. He’s one of many characters in Breaking Bad who goes through a lot; arguably, too much. After all, Walter White’s actions end up affecting just about everyone in the show, be they people he knew before he began cooking meth or people he runs into as a result of his building his eventual criminal empire. In most cases, people are affected for the worse.
13 Lane Pryce 'Mad Men' In a show filled with tragic characters, Mad Men’s Lane Pryce stands out as being particularly pitiful. He’s present throughout seasons 3 to 5 of the show, which also happened to be when the legendary drama series was at its best, given it took a little while to build and hit its stride, and perhaps stumbled a little in its penultimate season before the seventh and final one ended things strong.
11 Benjen Stark 'Game of Thrones' Of the members of House Stark in Game of Thrones, Benjen probably isn’t the most overlooked or commonly forgotten about, owing to the fact that Rickon exists. Still, even those who remember Rickon probably don’t view him super favorably, given he’s just there. Benjen, on the other hand, appeared infrequently throughout the show, but always made an impact whenever he did appear.
9 Artie Bucco 'The Sopranos' Praise has never stopped being heaped upon The Sopranos, which seldom had any misses, as far as individual episodes were concerned. Its six seasons are celebrated as representing the Golden Age of Television at its most golden, with Tony Soprano’s inability to change or better himself as a person making for shockingly great television, with its run on HBO lasting almost a decade.
7 Charles Winchester 'M*A*S*H' Given it ran for so long , M*A*S*H had some cast members come and go over the course of 11 seasons and 250+ episodes. Between the end of season 3 and the beginning of season 6, three main characters departed the show, with M*A*S*H writers making the choice of replacing those characters, instead of merely recasting the characters directly with fresh faces.
5 Sister Peter Marie Reimondo 'Oz' Like the aforementioned 24, Oz was a show that accumulated a large number of characters throughout its run on account of it killing and replacing many of them as the episodes wore on. The entire series takes place in a vicious high-security prison, and one that’s shown to be intensely dangerous for all who are kept there, as well as many of the staff members who are employed there.
