This list of the best, most interesting characters from HBO&#39;s Game of Thrones&nbsp;series has been voted on by tens of thousands of GoT fans. Though the complicated study of power dynamics in the fantasy kingdom of Westeros may not have too many identifiable or even sympathetic lead characters, it has nonetheless produced a wide variety of compelling, entertaining and outsized personalities, from the brutal boy king Joffrey Baratheon to his diminutive but ingenious cousin Tyrion Lannister to their rivals, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/all-members-of-house-stark/ranker-of-thrones?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Stark family</a> of Winterfell and the &quot;Mother of Dragons,&quot; Daenerys Targaryen. But which characters are the true fan favorites, providing the most memorable moments and unexpected plot twists? While it&#39;s inevitably that a certain Bolton is likely to get heavily downvoted based on the true evilness of his character, hopefully some of the more nuanced &quot;not purely evil&quot; characters will maintain high rankings based on the opinion of true fans (like yourself, dear reader!).&nbsp;

HBO&#39;s Game of Thrones&nbsp;show is based on the Song of Ice and Fire&nbsp;cycle of novels by fantasy author George R. R. Martin.&nbsp;Martin has said that the series was partially based on the real &quot;War of the Roses&quot; that engulfed England in civil war in the 15th Century. Those conflicts concerned a rivalry between the houses of Lancaster and York, whose names clearly provided inspiration for the rival families of Lannister and Stark in the GoT universe. While this list is focused on characters from the TV series, voters who have both seen the show and read the books will probably vote somewhat differently given the additional nuance they will bring to their opinion of this unique ranking. This list ranks every major Game of Thrones character from best to worst, and given how many fans have voted on it, it&#39;s the definitive ranking of GoT&nbsp;fan favorites

TV Characters We Love & Hate

Trending on Ranker

The funniest <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-female-tv-characters-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">female TV characters</a> are those whom we&#39;ve both laughed at and laughed with, sharing their hilarious moments and sometimes their most touching ones. These funny females are mothers, friends, wives and businesswomen -- comical television character versions of the roles women play in real life. Sometimes easy to relate to, sometimes not, funny female TV characters keep viewers returning to the TV for season after season.

While most truly funny women on TV can be found in sitcoms, a few of the best and funniest women in television can be found in dramas and even cartoon shows. Ally McBeal proved that a leading woman&rsquo;s role could deal with dramatic situations, yet still allow the female lead to be humorous. A few of the funniest female TV characters have also come from books adapted into television shows, as in the case of Piper Chapman -- who also plays in a drama.&nbsp;

Some of the funniest women on TV are known for their antics; a classic example is Lucy Ricardo&rsquo;s failure to pronounce &ldquo;Vitameatavegamin&rdquo; after becoming tipsy off the health tonic of the same name. Some of TV&rsquo;s funniest women are known for their rants or musings. Remember when Elaine Benes had to decide whether men were &lsquo;spongeworthy?&#39; Or 30 Rock&#39;s sarcastic Liz Lemon and her many antics. No matter why viewers find them funny, these quirky, witty girl characters continue to stand the test of time and give both men and women hilarious females to enjoy on TV.&nbsp;

Whoever your favorite funny women on TV are, chances are they&rsquo;ve become characters you can watch again and again. And that&rsquo;s the real test: The funniest female TV characters aren&rsquo;t just funny once, they&rsquo;re enjoyable and humorous with repeated viewings. They&rsquo;re human, they&rsquo;re engaging and these funny television females give audiences not only a laugh, but a lift -- whether they earned one season, six seasons or more.

What do we talk about when we talk about love? Perfect, sickeningly sweet, often unhealthy couples in film, TV, and other media who set up impossible standards to which our real-world flesh & blood relationships will never live up. Let's dissect 'em.

Love on Screen

Fictional Relationships

This current television couples list includes romantic pairs who are currently together and totally the best. The best current TV couples of 2017&nbsp;spark our imagination, make the work week shorter, and keep fans tuning in to see what they&#39;re up to next.&nbsp;

The <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-and-quot_we-got-married-and-quot_-couples/onlysuy?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best couples</a> on TV also give us something to believe in while watching someone else go through all of the ups and downs of a relationship. TV writers like to build tension, pulling two characters slowly. It&rsquo;s maddening but when it pays off, it can be very gratifying. A series allows relationships to develop, and encounter obstacles. On TV, you can date your co-worker, break up their current relationship, and turn up like a bad penny at the worst possible time. Some couples, like Booth and Brennan on Bones, seem unsinkable, but then you never know what&rsquo;s brewing in a writer&rsquo;s room.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Do you enjoy a slow burn between couples or a quick romance with lots of on again, off again? Are love triangles intriguing. Do you like to see current couples from TV last over seasons, or run their course and then move on? <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-current-television-duos/ranker-tv" target="_blank">Maybe a little bit of both</a>? What&rsquo;s the secret ingredient to good chemistry between the best couples on television now? Bitter, sweet, overcoming demons, fighting against an outside threat?&nbsp;&nbsp;

It&rsquo;s difficult to predict how a TV couple will rate with viewers. Move too quickly and viewers may not invest in the fictional lovebirds. Making characters wait too long is an exercise in frustration. Casting, acting, direction, but mostly writing, can either elevate a couple with the fandom, or doom it from the beginning. TV relationships are as fragile as real ones, it seems.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Who are you rooting for among TV&rsquo;s best current couples? Ichabod and Abbie? Penny and Leonard? Jake and Olivia? Is it time for Carol and Daryl to shine? Or will Mindy and Danny take the crown? Upvote <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-ultimate-favorites-list/stevo200?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">your favorites</a> and see who reigns the love kingdom. Have any other current TV couples you want to add? Please do!

With 385 episodes spanning 14 seasons, Degrassi: The Next Generation&nbsp;outlived most&nbsp;teen television fare, and introduced Degrassi&nbsp;characters that entertained kids everywhere after real school finished. Did anyone think this reboot of an &#39;80s teen soap opera would endure for so&nbsp;long? It&rsquo;s simultaneously endearing, ground-breaking, and lovingly mocked. At times it&#39;s laughably earnest and at others surprisingly cutting, like that time Ashley lobbed&nbsp;off all her hair.

The creepiest characters on television mess with our heads, leave us wondering and stick in our heads for a long time after their respective TV shows air. These are the fictional TV characters we love to hate for one reason or another. They might not be the scariest TV characters in a traditional sense but these are the creepiest characters on our <a href="/crowdranked-list/the-best-tv-shows-of-recent-memory" target="_blank">favorite recent TV shows</a>.Creepy television characters come in all types with each taking creepy to a new and different level. Some don't hide their creepiness, such as Herbert, the suspected pedophile from &quot;Family Guy,&quot; or Dexter Morgan, the serial killer/forensic blood splatter analyst from the Showtime series &quot;Dexter.&quot; Fans know what to expect from that type of creepy character but often it's the creepers who leave you guessing that are the creepiest TV characters of all.Take Walter White, the main character in the Emmy Award-winning drama &quot;Breaking Bad.&quot; Mr. White was a seemingly harmless family man and high school teacher who &quot;broke bad&quot; and took on an alter ego capable of unspeakable crimes. The uncertainty of the realm of possibility for the character makes him incredibly fascinating and beyond creepy.The same goes for characters that are highly secretive or not completely explained which opens the doors for all types of creepy. &quot;LOST&quot; fans didn't know what the elusive Smoke Monster was for nearly all six seasons the show aired but it was well established that it was definitely a threat to take seriously.Whether these creepy TV characters put all their cards on the table and embrace their creepy tendencies or leave fans guessing what they will do next, each offer plenty of food for thought on some of our favorite television shows. Everyone is creeped out by something or other so if we missed your favorite creepy TV character, add him, her or it below.

Sure, some of the characters might have annoyed us, but we never changed that dial once they appeared onscreen. These dorky looking men women, girls, and boys are absolutely hilarious and absolutely awesome -- oh, and absolutely nerdy. It usually happens on TV when the door knocks and the dad is really disappointed to see who is on the other side.

TV nerds of all genders are ranked, ranging from sexy geeks like Liz Lemon to neurotic nerds like Adrian Monk. Who studies dinosaurs better than Ross Geller? Who knows more Pawnee history than Leslie Knope? These geeks made us smarter and sillier, like Lisa Simpson and Willow Rosenberg. While Willow was always the best friend and Dwight Schrute is just one of the employees, people like Larry David and iCarly (yes, both geeks) got shows to their geeky selves.

List of the best television <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/comic-book-characters-who-are-doctors/stephanroget" target="_blank">doctors</a>, ranked by fans of the doctor characters and their medical shows. Plenty of memorable TV doctors have graced our small screens over the last 50 years, but some television doctors stand out from the rest. From medical dramas and comedies to soap operas and sci-fi thrillers, every great TV show needs a compassionate, competent and - of course - good looking <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/fictional-doctors-with-best-skills/jonathan-kantor" target="_blank">doctor to save the day</a>. Who are the most famous TV doctors of all time?&nbsp;

Ever since General Hospital&nbsp;opened its doors more than 50 years ago, there has been a flood of TV shows featuring every type of TV doctor you could imagine. In the beginning, TV doctors were dependable, noble and considerate medical healers in TV shows like Medic&nbsp;and Dr. Kildare. As television evolved, so too did the doctors. On modern TV, doctors now feature complex personalities and dramatic background stories, such as the drug-addicted, enigmatic and astoundingly intelligent antihero Dr. Gregory House and the entire medical squad on ER.

So who are the greatest TV doctors of all time? Whether you prefer dreamy medical heroes like Derek Shephard, Michaela Quinn and James Kildare; the funny antics of Hawkeye Pierce, Perry Cox and Sheldon Cooper; or the drama that comes with Grey&#39;s Anatomy female doctors&nbsp;Meredith Grey and Christina Yang, you can rest assured that there is an excellent fictional physician on call.

WARNING: Spoilers abound. If you&rsquo;re caught up on Season 9, you should be fine, though.

Walking Dead fans spend about 60% of their time discussing who will die before just about every episode. Watching the AMC show causes anxiety for this very reason alone. Who&rsquo;s actually going to make it to the end or very close to the end of The Walking Dead? Even though the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/how-does-twd-comic-end/stephanroget" target="_blank">TWD comic ended in July 2019</a>, the show and its source material have diverged enough that no one is truly safe.

Daryl Dixon doesn&rsquo;t even exist in the comic books but he&rsquo;s got fans so crazed, they border on the obsessive. Norman Reedus has vowed to strike the first match if they kill off Daryl so he might just make it through the apocalypse. A popular saying among Dead fans: &ldquo;If they kill Daryl, we riot.&rdquo; It helps that as a character, Daryl has the skills and the luck to make it through psychopathic overlords, cannibals, bloodthirsty gangs, and even the dreaded yuppies behind Alexandria&rsquo;s walls.

If you were placing bets during season one, there&rsquo;s no way you&rsquo;d expect the mousy, domestically-abused Carol to live through an episode, much less outlive Glenn and Abraham. Even Carl has grown from being an overly-protected little boy to a stone-cold calculating killer.&nbsp;Will The Walking Dead&rsquo;s producers kill off the boy who has lived through so much - even having to kill his own mother?

Remember, you&#39;re voting up the characters most likely to make it, not your favorite characters.&nbsp;Who will survive in this hard, cruel world all the way to the bitter end? Who would you choose as the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/strongest-walking-dead-characters/jonathan-kantor" target="_blank">Walking Dead characters</a> who will survive longest?

Characters We'll Never Forget

We all remember losing our favorite characters -- Elliot Stabler (Law &amp; Order SVU), Mark Greene (ER), Diane Chambers (Cheers), Fox Mulder (The X Files), Kalinda Sharma and Will Gardner (The Good Wife), Mathew Crawley (Downton Abbey) and practically everyone we started to emotionally invest in on <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/small-details-in-fantasy-shows/shane-fraser?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Game of Thrones</a> or <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/prop-and-wardrobe-details-in-the-walking-dead/shane-fraser?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">The Walking Dead</a>. They get killed off, leave town, die of a terminal illness, get kidnapped, or sometimes just get transported to another world. Regardless of how they were written off (or why the actor chose to leave), they leave a gaping void in the show they built. This list is about ranking the greatest losses, whether the characters were good or evil. We wish the characters would have stayed because there were so many more stories to tell.&nbsp;Without them, the TV show went on but was never quite the same.&nbsp;
