Popular Opinion

List of TV's most memorable characters, of all time, chosen by the Ranker community. What makes an iconic&nbsp;character live on in the public's memory, even years after the original run of their respective TV programs? In some cases, it's the amount of depth that the show's writers, actors and other creators were able to bring to the character over the course of many years. For many of the greatest TV characters of all time, audiences feel like they get to know personalities like Dexter Morgan from Dexter.&nbsp;Even after the show leaves the air, they may not want that relationship to end.&nbsp;The best TV characters are ones that you feel like you know and that you'd want to be friends with.TV has brought many famous characters to life who have been extremely compelling, even if they are not entirely likeable. Viewers may not wish to know dangerous, shadowy figures like Tony Soprano, Vernon Schillinger, and Omar Little in reality, but following their exploits safely from the comfort of your living room can be appealing. Likewise, people who might be aloof or downright unpleasant in real life - think Mad Men's&nbsp;Don Draper or Al Swearengen of Deadwood&nbsp;- can prove charming, even admirable, when seen at a distance, with the subtext and intricacy that a top long-running TV show can provide.Who is the greatest TV character ever?

It may not be entirely healthy, but as deeply devoted fans of television, we develop close personal bonds with our favorite characters. We learn to predict their behaviors, and get to know them as intimately as we do our best friends. This may sound like an exaggeration, but considering the amount of hours you spend with someone while bingeing their TV show, it's actually not that unfathomable. You could probably make an argument that we spend more time with our favorite TV characters than we do with our family and friends. That's probably the reason it's so easy for people to call out whenever a character changes in unexpected ways. We asked Total Nerd readers to tell us about the TV characters they noticed acting completely out-of-character, and they definitely had a laundry list of complaints. Which of these characters would you also agree behaved not quite like themselves?Comments have been edited for length and clarity.

The biggest pimps in television history are those lucky fictional characters who are notoriously promiscuous, making viewers around the world incredibly jealous. They manage to get all the babes, almost as if they were God's gift to women (or in some cases, men). They might be hated by some for their tramp-tastic ways, but surely, they are also secretly worshipped by aspiring pimps as well.We've all watched many of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/greatest-tv-characters-of-all-time" target="_blank">greatest television characters ever</a> go from monogamy to pimp in one shocking episode, or all of them. Characters like Barney Stinson on &quot;How I Met Your Mother,&quot; Charlie Harper on &quot;Two and a Half Men,&quot; and even that sexy robot Bender on &quot;Futurama&quot; never have a shortage of women in their bed. Joey Tribbiani from &quot;Friends,&quot; Hank Moody from &quot;Californication,&quot; and Jack Donaghy from &quot;30 Rock&quot; are no different, befriending and bedding numerous ladies on the regular.Many would even go into the serial adulterers column, especially the likes of Don Draper and Roger Sterling from &quot;Mad Men,&quot; whose womanizing ways were introduced in the premiere episode of the award-winning series. Even Zach Morris from &quot;Saved by the Bell&quot; gets some love as a serial-dater having romanced almost every <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-female-characters-in-literature?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">main female character</a> on the long-running show. Even others might also fall into the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/creepiest-characters-on-television/tvs-frank" target="_blank">creepiest characters of all time</a> too.From Fonzie on &quot;Happy Days&quot; all the way though James T. Kirk and Captain Jean-Luc Picard from &quot;Star Trek&quot; and Glenn Quagmire on &quot;Family Guy,&quot; these television pimps have making lonely men feel even lonelier for decades.

Some characters in TV shows improve dramatically over time while others struggle a bit. There can be peaks and valleys but then there can also be seasons that nearly undo everything that has developed with the character in the seasons prior. From Jaime Lannister to Kate Austen, these are the characters that had ruined character development over the seasons.

People Reveal TV Characters That Got Worse As Shows Went Along

Dumb sitcom characters have long been a staple of television comedies. Some prove so popular and enduring they could easily rank among <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/greatest-tv-characters-of-all-time">the greatest TV characters ever</a>, or, at the very least, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-funniest-tv-characters-of-all-time">the funniest</a>. But not every sitcom moron started out that way. Some actually began as quite different characters, so much so that they eventually became unrecognizable from their early appearances. In a way, this is forgivable; after all, characters evolve naturally over the lifespan of a TV show - or, in the case of stupid TV characters, they devolve. In some cases they became so butchered by their own stupidity to the extent that the character, and sometimes even the show itself, suffered greatly.There's a word for this phenomenon in pop culture-speak: <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Flanderization">Flanderization</a>. When TV writers take one or two noticeable traits of a character and gradually those one or two traits become the whole character, that's Flanderization at work. The term is named for The Simpsons' Ned Flanders, Homer Simpson's neighbor, who started out the series as an optimistic, devout dad and morphed into a right-wing nut-job who can't see beyond the lens of his own fervent Evangelicalism.And so: behold the sitcom characters who get dumber over time, or in other words, Flanderized to the max.

List of the best perpetual bachelor TV characters, as ranked by television critics and fans. The bachelor character seems to pop up on nearly every television show, especially in sitcoms. These types of male characters are constantly dating, flitting from one fling to the next. Sometimes, like in the case of Joey from Friends, the character isn’t looking for anything too serious, just dates around a lot for the fun of it. Other times,the character is hopelessly romantic but unlucky in love, like How I Met Your Mother’s Ted Mosby and Scrubs’s J.D. Many of these characters are quite the catch, with great jobs, good looks, and charming personalities. While bachelor characters like Tim Riggins from Friday Night Lights and The Good Wife’s Will Gardner often get into relationships, they often last only a few episodes due to their permanently single personalities. Not all of the everlasting bachelors on this list are straight, with gay characters like Max Blum and Jack McFarland dating just as much as the rest.Who are the finest eternal bachelors on TV? This list includes characters who can’t seem to catch a break in the dating department or aren’t interested in settling down any time soon.

TV is filled with fun and lovable characters who most of us fantasize about living with, but there are also some TV characters who would make terrible roommates. A lot of people would like to be one of the Friends&nbsp;gang, have a board game night with the nerds from&nbsp;The Big Bang Theory,&nbsp;or swap hi-fives with&nbsp;<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/cast-of-himym-first-vs-last-season/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">How I Met Your Mother</a>&#39;s Barney. Conversely, some characters would make absolutely dreadful co-habitants. You wouldn&#39;t exactly feel comfortable sharing a flat with Dexter Morgan, Hannibal&nbsp;Lector, or even Sherlock Holmes.

Then there are those&nbsp;who&nbsp;seem&nbsp;like they&#39;d be ideal candidates but would actually end up being roommates from Hell. &quot;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/secretly-horrible-tv-nice-guys/alexandra-plesa" target="_blank">Nice guys</a>&quot; who are actually really patronizing, &quot;fun&quot; types who are such messes that you&#39;d never see <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/poor-tv-characters-living-too-well/alexandra-plesa" target="_blank">a dime of rent</a>, and rich kids who could&nbsp;land you a killer apartment, but who you&#39;d be picking up after all the time.

Writers often speak about the inspiration or intent behind a character when a project begins. Yet, just like real people, TV characters evolve and transform - sometimes becoming entirely unrecognizable from the moment in which the audience first meets them. In the TV world, it isn't uncommon to see sitcom&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-characters-who-changed-mid-series/karen-fratti">characters morph into different people</a>.Reasons for such a change can come from many sources. Sometimes, an actor may add their own flair to a character and the writers begin to lean into it. Other times, a show can change creatively thanks to a new showrunner. Alternatively, the writers and producers realize a character simply isn't connecting with the audience and decide to shake things up. From classics like The Office and Friends, let's take a look at the characters that have changed the most from their first appearances in the sitcom genre.&nbsp;

Pop Culture

<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/tags/sitcoms">The sitcom</a> remains one of TV's most beloved genres, in part because viewers know what they’re going to get when they tune in. Like many other genres, the sitcom relies on a set number of character types to make its stories work, and everyone is familiar with at least one delightfully dumb character. These are the individuals who seem to march to the beat of their own drummer, often combining both goofiness and charm.&nbsp;The very best, however, are those who manage to make their empty-headedness into a virtue, often by possessing some form of wisdom the other characters lack. As such, these doofy characters remain a key part of the sitcom’s enduring appeal.

New York

There are some pretty cool dudes and ladies in New York City. This list ranks all the coolest fictional characters from New York City, whether from television, film, or literature. They are superheroes, fashion icons, regular Joe(y)s, and antihero private detectives. No one on this list is perfect, but then again who is, and why shouldn&rsquo;t our entertainment represent life as we know it?

Besides, what do you think it means to be cool? Is it about the clothes? Personality? Cash flow? Who you know? Coolness is not just skin deep (although a worn leather jacket and iconic fashion style doesn&rsquo;t hurt). But it&rsquo;s also about how a person carries themselves. Are they confident? Do they make you feel good about you? Are they interesting? Essentially, a cool person is someone that you want to hang out with or go grab a drink with.

New York City is not the easiest place to live. Sinatra is right, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. From Broadway to the Bronx, from stage to screen, from Harlem to Soho; the Big Apple can truly make or break a person.

You will certainly recognize some of your favorite fictional characters on this list. Is there a detective hipper than Shaft? Is there a man with better dance moves than Tony Manero? Is there an ad executive more handsome and charming than Don Draper?

Be sure to upvote the coolest fictional characters from New York City below, and add any awesome characters from NYC who you think epitomize &quot;cool&quot; but aren&#39;t already listed.

Rachel, Ross, Joey, Monica, Chandler, and Phoebe - all six friends from Friends swapped roommates for 10 years on air.

Chandler's sarcasm would probably get pretty old pretty fast, Ross always knows how to bring down the mood by talking about his divorces, and Rachel is super condescending and materialistic - yuck. And although <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/friends-facts/joanna-varikos">Joey is a loyal friend</a>, it's only a matter of time before one of the girls he brings home steals something important.&nbsp;If you lived with a friend of Friends, which of them would make you pick up their couch and yell, “Pivot!” to get them to move back out?

It's incredible how a good catchphrase can grow way past the character who initially delivered the lines. At a certain point, it becomes ingrained in our culture. Although initially these catchphrases are synonymous with a character's identity and essence, eventually it snowballs into something much bigger. Suddenly, it's popping up on the t-shirts, coffee mugs, and phone covers of people who were never fans of the show, let alone the character, in the first place. That's the beautiful power of writing. It literally transcends time and space.

Fan theories about Friends include the one where Ross loses custody of his son&nbsp;and the one where Rachel is a former lover of Ben Wyatt from Parks and Recreation.

Everyone knows Joey, the goofy stud and aspiring actor (who once played Al Pacino&#39;s butt double in a movie), but not many people seem to know Joey, the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/worst-tv-spin-offs" target="_blank">failed spin-off</a> that followed the end of beloved sitcom&nbsp;Friends. The show premiered in 2004 and featured Matt LeBlanc reprising his role as good-natured ladies&#39; man Joey Tribbiani, who moves to Los Angeles to continue his acting career. Joey also starred Drea de Matteo, following her departure from The Sopranos, as his sister Gina, and Paulo Constanzo, who would later star in Royal Pains and Designated Survivor, as Joey&#39;s brainy nephew Michael.
