Edit: Deleted non-fictional Chef Ramsay and other favorites because someone called a techicality.

[AntiArbitrator]

I left off one of the new shows:

Hannibal - Will Graham

[KyleEl]

Oops. You've got some real people in your list.

[AntiArbitrator]

Someone is being technical but I won't say who.

[KyleEl]

But I said fictional. As in people who are on most weeks. Edit: Though Chef Ramsay would be.

I don't watch a lot of reality shows but those don't have characters. On "Undercover Boss" a lot of the employees are more interesting than the bosses. I think they had one of the best employees this past week, and they know it. She's going to be featured on a special episode. I wonder how many people will be on that one? They've had some amazing people.

The bosses often make people cry, but not usually because they've been bad. This girl had no remorse and no concept that she was a terrible employee. All the other bad employees have been willing to try to improve--until now! Only one other bad employee got fired, as I recall.

[KyleEl]

I should try that putting a line through characters. I keep changing my mind, especially about the second favorites.

I was just messing with you - you did say fictional but I had overlooked that.

I agree with you about Undercover Boss. They show some really good employees. The woman at the fitness center was rude to people and refused to admit it. She told her boss she would not have cussed at the client if she knew the CEO was there and did not seem to realize she should not have done that anyway. I wonder what they are going to say about her in May.

Tonight's the big night for the rude woman.

So I did what Angel did for the characters I changed.

I'm still very tempted to change Jeff to Timmy for "Rules of Engagement" in the second favorite list.

But how can I pass up lines like this? Not exact quotes, but close.

Audrey: (talking about a wedding they're going to) You get to dress up, meet new people, and dance.

Jeff: Then there are the drawbacks. You get to dress up, meet new people, and dance.

[KyleEl]

It was kind of a disappointment that the rude woman was happy. Now the Boston Market guy I liked, even with his offensive behavior. He should be working.

I was in a nursing home for three weeks and saw a couple of people who weren't suited to working with old people whose minds aren't good. The employee from "Undercover Boss" seems like she should be one of them.

[AntiArbitrator]

I think the rude woman was pretending that she was okay with the way things turned out. She has moved on but she did not seem happy to me and she was contradicting herself.

I think she was interviewed more than once. At first, she was acting as if she was tough and did not see any reason to change and said "I like myself."

Then later, she said she had changed and "better late than never".

I didn't notice any of that. I wanted her to get a job where she was still tough.

I've started watching two new shows and I'll have to add them. Plus "Parenthood" was not cnacelled. But I need to go.

[AntiArbitrator]

Finally, I have a list of my second favorite characters for the shows that I watch. I made some changes for the most favorite characters.

Arrow – Det. Quentin Lance
Beauty and the Beast – Catherine
Burn Notice – Michael Westen
Continuum – Carlos
Criminal Minds – Derek Morgan
Game of Thrones – Arya
Golden Boy – Don Owens
Grimm – Nick
Hannibal – Hannibal
Haven – Nathan Wurnous
Hell on Wheels – Elam (Common)
Justified – Boyd Crowder
Merlin – the dragon
NCIS – DiNozzo
NCIS:LA – Deeks
Necessary Roughness – Terrence King (sorry, Dani)
Once Upon a Time – Evil Queen
Person of Interest – Finch
Revolution – Monroe
Royal Pains – The Billionaire
Supernatural – Dean
The Following – Joe Carroll
The Mentalist – Det. Cho
The Walking Dead – Rick
Touch – Jake Bohm
White Collar – Moz

Sometimes the star of the show is my second favorite character.

[KyleEl]

Rather than edit my long list, I'll add them here.

'The Goodwin Games"--Chloe and Jimmy (What is this, "Smallville"?)

"Save Me"--Beth and Carly

"Parenthood" is coming back so I'll add theirs as well, but in the main lists.

Getting back to when we got off-topic, the night I finally returned home, my TiVo wasn't working. I discovered why the next day when I called their 800 number. Had I really looked, I would have noticed it got unplugged when my cousins cleaned up the house. But it looked like it was plugged in on the other end, so I would have had to call anyway. It wasn't. I really had to push on it.

And that's how I lost "Undercover Boss" that night. I just saw the episode this past Friday. Jesus should have been one of the epic employees. Trouble is he was determined to do whatever it took to keep his job. But he joins the Boston Market guy and the Retro fitness girl as one of the worst employees ever.

[KyleEl]

On "Goodwin Games" I'm tempted to make Lucinda #2. She is gorgeous, but that's not all.

[AntiArbitrator]

Adding Under The Dome
Favorite - Barbie

Too soon to tell for 2^nd, but it is a toss up right now between Joe (teenager) and Phil (DJ)

2^nd Fav - Phil

I am going with Phil right now because anyone who can be cheering about ratings when the whole town is in trouble has a very interesting mind.

[KyleEl]

I guess I should pick two "Under the Dome" characters as well.

There aren't many people I like. Maybe the female police officer.

Julia would be #1 and Dale #2. But I don't care much for Dale.

I still haven't figured out which one is Sabrina's aunt from "Sabrina the Teenage Witch".

She was back already last Friday.

Now it might have worked if people liked her because of her attitude.

Dale is out. The daughter of the two women who are just passing through is a likely candidate. Or possibly the guy who had a party at his house. This may take a while.

It is Rose, the lady who owns the diner. I can recognize her features.

---

I like Dale but that might be because I really liked him in the book.

I was expecting to detest Big Jim, but he does not seem all that bad... dishonest and untrustworthy, but I expect that from a politician.

I will wait and see how the characters develop.

[KyleEl]

I posted on the other thread that I had figured out Rose was Sabrina's aunt.

I finally added a season pass for "Are We There Yet". I kept seeing it in the listings.

Nick is #1 and Marilyn is #2. Marilyn used to insult Tony Orlando on his variety show, then she was on "Bosom Buddies" with Tom Hanks, a variation of "Some Like It Hot". She was also on "Gimme a Break" and she was Laura's aunt on "Family Matters" but mysteriously disappeared.

[KyleEl]

Carrie is #1 and Dr. Webster #2 on "Unforgettable". And it isn't just that Carrie is so pretty.

16. Tim-Magic School Bus
17. David-Christy
18. Dr. Carolyn Lam as well as the Ori and the Goa'uld -Stargate SG-1 (a three way tie because each of these drove me crazy two were enemies of the team though, one wasn't but her performance was lacking!)
19. Jimmy Palmer-NCIS
20. Calvin and later the girl replaced the original Gaby-Ghostwriter (the original Gaby from the show quit and they replaced her with another girl who was the total opposite of the original girl!)
21. Harry Kim-Star Trek Voyager (a few decent episodes but he can't do well without the rest of the cast)
22. Grandpa Abraham Simpson-The Simpsons

Yeah, I've only seen a few episodes of M&M and TBBT so I really can't just say I have a favorite character. XD

[AntiArbitrator]

I had to change my OUAT in Wonderland choice. I no longer like Jafar at all. Cyrus' stunt with the wishbone elevated him to be one of my favorites.
