Why are they your favourites? Are they funny? Menacing? Can you relate to them?

I have a few favourites. The first one I thought of was Gene Hunt from the TV shows Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes. He is often a foul mouthed, violent police officer but he can also be absolutely hilarious for being so ridiculous. I have at times also felt sorry for him. I can;t really explain why he is so likeable. Perhaps I love to hate him? Or hate to love him? Haha!

Another would be the Doctor from Doctor Who in his forth, ninth and tenth incarnations (I haven't checked them all out though yet!). Each actor has brought their own take to the role but at heart the character is actually the same alien who travels around in a police box but especially in recent years, he's played as such a hilarious, moving and very loveable character. I'll miss David Tennant when he leaves the role this year but I will also look forward to Matt Smith's take on the role!

A couple of female characters I really like (although I've heard some people hate) are Rose Tyler from Doctor Who and Gwen Cooper from Torchwood/ Doctor Who. They're two very different characters but I find them incredibly well acted by Billie Piper and Eve Myles as well as them being very realistic despite the very unreal happenings that they experience.

So who are yours?

There's lots of different characters that I like to watch. One of my favorites is Monk. I really enjoy that show just because of his quirks lol. I don't know if I can 'relate' to him or not. His character is just really well written, and the guy that plays Mr. Monk does a superb job of playing that character. I couldn't imagine anybody else playing that character as well as him. With all the phobias he has, and his penchance for solving crimes in an unusual way, I find it most entertaining! Sadly, the show is on it's final run this year. I also like Dr. House. There again, he has his quirks, yet he gets the job done. Both characters are considered genius's in their fields, yet it's their eccentric personalities that make them entertaining as well.

They sound like interesting characters and shows. Thanks for responding!

I really like characters that have a lot of depth and back story. Would you say that applies to your favourites?

I do think both of those characters have a lot of depth. I like the way that the writers give you clues along the way as to how they got to being the way they are now.

just like the first guy answer. i love the character monk from the show monk. he is so hilarious he cracks me up. he's so smart and weird but he has friends. he's just really cool to me. watching the show has made me care about cleaning up and germs so thats a good thing. and the bad thing i'm a bit of a germophobic now. and my second favorite character is ashley from the secret life of the american teenager because she doesn't care about anything or what people say. shes just chill i love that i wish i could be like that. because i'm very preppy and it gets on people nerves. i would to have a friend like her or atleast hang out with her once. and i never seen that show. called life on mars but i have heard of it. it sounded a tad bit weird i thought it might be something to do with aliens haha i'm stupid sometimes. well thanks for this discussion. happy mylotting.

Haha, don't worry, a lot of people made that mistake. It's called Life on Mars as that is the name of a song by David Bowie that was released in the 70's, the years of which the cop show is set. It is a sort of Sci Fi as the plot line is that one of the police guys has travelled back in time to the 70's and got stuck there after being hit by a car in 2006. It might sound weird but it really works well in my opinion. There's a bit of everything in there! Sci fi, action, romance, comedy...! I have heard that the American remake is awful though. They changed the ending!

Kenny Powers from Eastbound and Down.
I'm sorry but Danny McBride has redefined comedy, I can't even laugh at anyone else now!
I also love the entire cast of Scrubs, and Magnum P.I.

I find Abby from NCIS very relatable and also Peyton Sawyer from One Tree Hill.
