Last summer, myself and GOI did a Characters Welcome! competition. I ranked the best TV characters and you loyal voters (all six of you at the time)voted on who you thought was the best. Dr. House barely edged out Homer Simpson as the best character and I plan on this competiton to come back so new shows like White Collar can be represented and old veterans like Larry David that I just plum forgot about also can get their due. But I guess the Chicago Now/Red Eye likes to steal my ideas and also have their own dumb little Best Characters Contest. Jerks. At least credit me!

Entourage Bracket
(1) Ari Gold (Entourage) v. (9) Dexter Morgan (Dexter)
(2) Jack Bauer (24) v. (10) Turtle (Entourage)
(14) E (Entourage) v. (6) Hank Hill (King of the Hill)

(3) Liz Lemon (30 Rock) v. (11) Pam Beasley (The Office)

(3) Eric Cartman (South Park) v. (6) Elliot Stabler (L&O: SVU)
(4) Sylar (Heroes) v. (5) Kenny Powers (Eastbound and Down)
Entourage Bracket
(1) Ari Gold def (16) Creed Bratton
As awesome and underrated of a character as Creed Bratton (played by Creed Bratton) is, he’s no match for Ari Gold. Creed keeps it close for a half but then Ari actually starts playing and wins by 20 in the end.
(2) Jack Bauer def (15) Roger Sterling
As much as I love Mad Men, Roger Sterling never stuck out to me as a character. And even though I never got into 24, I’m sure if people actually cared and saw this post, they would get outraged Bauer lost in the first round
(14) E def (3) Peter Griffin
This is the Entourage bracket after all. Even though my massive Entourage bias is getting in the way here and I hate Family Guy now, I’m still going with E. Even though E is the worst character of the five main ones
(4) Walter White def (13) Christine Campbell
Even though I’ve never seen an episode of Breaking Bad or The New Adventures of Old Christine, I can say with confidence the former Malcolm in the Middle dad Bryan Cranston does a fantastic job with this character and wins
(5) Johnny Chase def. (12) Vinny Chase
The most intriguing match up this round, the Chase brothers go against each other. Vinny is the guy I’d rather hang around but Johnny is by far the better character
(6) Hank Hill def. (11) Patrick Jane
I’m sure no one who reads this blog actually watches The Mentalist. Plus I love my propane and propane accessories, I’ll tell you what!
(10) Turtle def. (7) Horatio Caine
Again, everyone in Entourage must win in the first round! Plus, I hate David Caruso’s acting style SO MUCH!
(9) Dexter Morgan def (8) Lisa Simpson
I always pick the 9 over 8 upset in my real NCAA bracket so why not in this one as well. Plus the lovable serial killer probably always wins every character battle, right?
Funny Bracket
(1) Jack Donaghy def (16) Leonard Hofstader
Much love to the Big Bang theory but you can’t go against the Juggernaut that is 30 Rock
(2) Adrian Monk def. (15) Alan Shore
Despite the show having “Boston” in its name, I’ve never seen a Boston Legal. Coupled with the fact that James Spader always steals Emmys. If Monk wasn’t on Fridays, I’d watch even more of it
(3) Barney Stinson def (14) Dr. Cal Lightman
I’ve only seen a few episodes of Lie To Me, but Tim Roth is incredible in it. Too bad he’s going up against NPH.
(4) Dwight Schrute def. (13) Barack Obama
The only thing Barack Obama will ever lose
(5) Kenneth Parcells def. (12) Jermaine
Again, the 30 Rock juggernaut rolls on
(11) Randy Marsh def. (6) McDreamy
Anything Grey’s Anatomy must lose, sorry. Plus, Mr. Marsh is always funny. Go watch the World of Warcraft South Park episode, trust me
(7) Tracy Jordan def. (10) Sheldon Cooper
I’m the Juggernaut bitch! Although again, much love to The Big Bang Theory
(8) Hiro def. (9) HRG
How does Noah Bennet lose! He always wins! Maybe Hiro locked him in a coffin?
Effeminate Bracket
(1) Homer Simpson def. (16) Claire Bennett
Not only do I think Hayden Panitierre can’t act, but Claire pisses me off because she never listens to her dad, HRG. That and she’s going against one of the most beloved and recognized characters of all time
(15) Jenna Maroney def. (2) Michael Scott
Huge upset here! I guess more of you should have voted! Plus I guess all things 30 Rock wins
(3) Liz Lemon def. (14) Dr. Meredith Grey
All things 30 Rock = awesome. All things Grey’s Anatomy = only on this list as a courtesy
(4) Charlie Harper def. (13) 13
Isn’t it weird that 13 is a 13 seed? Huh? Anyway, the lovable, 22-year-old fucking, boozing, gambling , rich uncle on one of the best comedies out there right now beats the hottie
(12) Lt Jim Dangle def. (5) Deputy Johnson
I’ve only seen one episode of The Closer and I love Reno so maybe I’m a little biased, but Kyra Sedwick’s fault is, literally, being addicted to chocolate! Really!? Whatever
(11) Pam Beasley def. (6) Jack Shepard
Not because I love The Office and I don’t watch Lost, do I declare the lame (albeit cute) Pam Beasley the winner, but only because of that line near the beginning of “Knocked Up” where Seth Rogen tells Katherine Keigl to punch Matthew Fox in the face
(7) Jim Halpert def. (10) Allen Harper
All Jim does is look into the camera and does this :~/
(8) Jack McCoy def. (9) Lisa Simpson
My mom hates the actor who plays Jack McCoy because she hates Jack McCoy. That's woman logic for you.
Bad Ass Bracket
(65) Older Brother def. (64) Tarvold
Mainly because Viking Quest technically doesn’t qualify because it got canceled. I wish the show would release what Drama’s character name was though…
(1) Dr. House def. (16) Older Brother
Why even have a play-in game of their just gonna lose the in the next round anyway. Guaranteed.
(2) Don Draper def. (15) Dr. McNamara
Don Draper might be my personal favorite character and if people actually watched Mad Men, they would have liked Jon Hamm’s SNL performance that much better
(3) Eric Cartman def. (14) Betty Draper
Mom! Baf-room! Baf-room! *Cartmen then proceeds to shit on his mom*
(4) Sylar def. (13) Ben Linus
Come on, not only is Sylar the greatest villain on TV right now but I think he’s already cemented his place in TV villain history. The very very very very very end of the Heroes season finale made me very happy
(5) Kenny Powers def. (12) Shawn Spencer
Kenny Powers win. The, mother-fucking, end. Again, sorry for Power’s low seeding
(6) Elliot Stable def. (11) Grace H.
Law and Order SVU had definitely now taken its place as the best Law and Order on TV, mainly due to the dude who played Freakshow in Harold and Kumar and the chef in Wet Hot American Summer
(7) Michael Westin def. (10) Pete Campbell
This is one of the few match ups that I lost. You people need to go out and watch Mad Men!
(8) Olivia Benson v (8) Dr. Troy
Ok, maybe you need two. Plus Nip/Tuck in on the downfall and SVU is only getting better. Although this match up is very close.
Entourage Bracket
(1) Ari Gold (Entourage) v. (9) Dexter Morgan (Dexter)
(2) Jack Bauer (24) v. (10) Turtle (Entourage)

Characters Welcome!
Sorry USA for stealing your tag line, but it's fits so perfectly with my post. Anyway, I was randomly thinking about the best characters on TV right. Then, I thought, "why not make this into a post!" Plus, the only reason I ever listened to the Play Ball with Amanda and Melissa podcast (besides the fact I listened to every other Pod Vader podcast) was their NCAA style bracket based off of fiction in movies/TV. They first had a bracket of the best TV shows out there, and then they did something sort of similar by matching up fictional players/teams against each other (i.e. who would win if the team in A League Of Their Own faced the team in Bull Durham). So here's my version of that, the 64 best characters currently on TV. First, I categorized every character I could think of, and placed them into seeds. Then, based off of those seeds, I put them into brackets.
In order for a character to qualify: 1) Their show must currently be on television, 2) The character must be a regular an not just a frequent cameo and 3) The show the character is on must qualify for the Primetime Emmys.
Now this bracket is broken up exactly like the real NCAA bracket with four parts. I tried my best to categorize each character so that each bracket has a theme. Now obviously some characters aren't going to fit so they may seem out of place, but generally speaking, the themes work. The four brackets are: The Entourage Bracket (mainly consist of Entourage characters or characters with a slight edge to them), The Funny Bracket (mainly consisting of funny character or characters from comedy shows), The Effeminate Bracket (mainly consisting of females of effeminate dudes), and The Bad Ass Bracket (well you get the idea).
So without further adieu, here you go:
The Entourage Bracket
(1) Ari Gold (Entourage) vs. (16) Creed Bratton (The Office)
(2) Jack Bauer (24) vs. (15) Roger Sterling (Mad Men)
(3) Peter Griffin (Family Guy) vs. (14) E (Entourage)
(4) Walter White (Breaking Bad) vs. (13) Christine Campbell (The New Adventures of Old Christine)
(5) Johnny Drama (Entourage) vs. (12) Vinny Chase (Entourage)
(6) Hank Hill (King of the Hill) vs. (11) Patrick Jane (The Mentalist)
(7) Horatio Caine (CSI: Miami) vs. (10) Turtle (Entourage)
(8) Lisa Simpson (The Simpsons) vs. (9) Dexter Morgan (Dexter)
The Funny Bracket
(1) Jack Donaghy (30 Rock) vs. (16) Leonard (TBB Theory)
(2) Adrian Monk (Monk) vs. (15) Alan Shore (Boston Legal)
(3) Barney Stinson (HIMYM) vs. (14) Dr. Cal Lightman (Lie To Me)
(4) Dwight Shrute (The Office) vs. (13) Barack Obama (SNL)

NOTES:
1)I almost forgot Kenny Powers so that's why he's a five seed
2) I had this bracket all nicely laid out when writing this post but fucking Blogger took out all my nice semmetric spacing
3) I also had the actor's name as well but because Blogger is dumb, the spacing made it look messed up so I had to take it out
In order for a character to qualify: 1) Their show must currently be on television, 2) The character must be a regular an not just a frequent cameo and 3) The show the character is on must qualify for the Primetime Emmys.

NOTES:

3) I also had the actor's name as well but because Blogger is dumb, the spacing made it look messed up so I had to take it out
