Look, you watch enough of a show, you get to know the characters. Maybe you even care about them. Maybe you even love them. Or hate them. Or want to read tons of lists about them.

The People in Your TV

Sitcoms

One of the great joys of viewing sitcoms, especially those that run for many years, is falling in love with the characters. Whether they're good people in real life or horrid individuals we'd never want to meet, sitcom characters win us over with their particular quirks and idiosyncrasies. After many seasons, we know characters as well as our own friends.&nbsp;However, an additional treat is when our favorite characters are kind enough to provide us with additional identities. Whether mere aliases for an already-wacky character to cause trouble, or an entirely separate identity opposite in nature to the character's usual self, these alter egos are always amusing when they crop up. Though they're usually sporadic treats or running gags, these alternate personas leave us begging for more. Here are some of the most memorable alter-egos of sitcom characters that left us craving additional appearances.

Sitcoms tend to make mom-and-dad characters funnier than their children, mainly through their unorthodox parenting methods. TV shows with family dynamics have many funny moments featuring these parents, and even grandparents, who can range from being overly protective to hilariously caring too little.It's fun to check out the most savage, out-of-touch, and over-the-top scenes that have contributed to these characters' popularity. It also goes to show why these sitcoms have tasted mainstream success.

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 the absolute 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're up to next.&nbsp;The <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" 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’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’s brewing in a writer’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 <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-couples-who-got-together-in-real-life/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">couples from TV</a> last over seasons, or run their course and then move on? <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-current-television-duos/ranker-tv">Maybe a little bit of both</a>? What’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’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’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 target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-ultimate-favorites-list/stevo200?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">your favorites</a> and see who reigns the love kingdom.

All about Ted Lasso, the charming Apple TV+ comedy that follows an unshakingly optimistic American football coach as he leads an English soccer team to find the best inside themselves.

Ted Lasso

With the second season of Apple TV+ hit Ted Lasso now finally upon us, it&#39;s important to reflect on all the reasons people love the show: Heart.&nbsp;

Never cynical or mean, the tale of an American football coach who goes to England to coach soccer (where it&#39;s ironically known as &quot;football&quot;) reminds us that the classic &quot;fish out of water&quot; story can also be incredibly uplifting. The characters are all flawed. But they&#39;re trying. And in the end, they support each other and make each other better.&nbsp;

With such compelling characters, we&#39;re rooting for all of them. But now it&#39;s time to vote up the ones who most warm your soul.&nbsp;

Succession (HBO)

The best characters on HBO&rsquo;s Succession are both ruthless and resourceful; they&rsquo;re full of big dreams and aren&rsquo;t afraid to break a few eggs in order to achieve them.

Succession follows the powerful Roy family as they plot to overthrow one another and take control of their father&rsquo;s company. Logan Roy, played by Brian Cox, is cold and calculating, and his sons, Connor, Roman, Kendall (who has gone rogue as of late), are all vying to take his place as the head of the family. From Frank Vernon, COO of Waystar and Logan&rsquo;s longtime friend to Tom Wamsgans, Shiv&rsquo;s husband and slimeball extraordinaire, these are the best (and worst) characters on Succession.

Some things are just more enjoyable with other people and right now there are so many television shows that are better because of how two characters interact. These famous duos make every episode twice as enjoyable or intense thanks to how they squabble, flirt or fight together.

Maybe these current tv characters have a bromance like Steve and Danno of Hawaii Five-0 or a plain old romance-romance (however tumultuous) like Betty and Jughead in Riverdale. There&#39;s even a combination of the two; Legends of Tomorrow&#39;s John Constantine and Sara Lance are demon-fighting friends first and sometime lovers when the time is absolutely the worst for it.

Soulmates, siblings and spirited rivals, from sci-fi shows to sitcoms, there&#39;s magic when two television characters have an undeniable chemistry. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/funniest-shows-on-tv-right-now/ranker-tv" target="_blank">Jokes are funnier</a>, the drama is deeper and how the duo grows together over the seasons is so irresistible <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/current-tv-characters-you-would-be-friends-with/anncasano" target="_blank">you wish you had friends like them</a>.

It's great to remember the biggest TV stars, but it's equally important to note underrated performances that fly under the radar. Fighting over who deserves an Emmy for a leading role can provide fun and also acknowledge several of the best actors out there. However, plenty of talented performers get left out of these conversations, due to various unfortunate circumstances that don't get them their due attention.&nbsp;These actors pull a lot of weight, giving huge laughs in comedies, or the most poignant scenes in dramas - sometimes even both.&nbsp;Whether they got&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/emmy-nomination-snubs-2022/jude-newsome">snubbed by awards shows</a> or simply lost among a star-studded ensemble, these actors have not gotten the spotlight they deserve for truly exceptional acting work this year.

Part of the TV circle of life is shows losing main characters as they get renewed for more seasons. Whether due to an actor wanting to move on to other roles, or clashes between the cast and producers, it's a common phenomenon for main characters to be written out. This often leaves a void in a show's ensemble, which writers tend to fill with a substitute that shares some qualities with the original character.Some replacements&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/worst-characters-on-your-favorite-tv-shows/mick-jacobs">rub fans the wrong way</a> and turn them off of later seasons.

There is a seemingly never-ending list of reasons why TV characters leave their shows. It could be the actor couldn’t agree to the terms of a new contract with the network. Other times, they may want to pursue other interests and roles. Maybe it’s not even the actor's choice at all, and their departure is simply fueling drama for the respective series.&nbsp;Whatever the case may be, fans oftentimes are forced to say goodbye to their favorite characters, only for them to show up again later. Reappearances, like departures, can happen for many reasons, but the most common is that the show suffered after they left. Whether they were one of the original cast members that made audiences originally buy in, or if they were&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-tv-characters-who-werent-in-the-first-season/randy-miller">newer additions later</a> on, long-gone characters find themselves back once again when the network is desperate for viewership.&nbsp;Sometimes there are wild explanations for their time away, while in other instances, a more casual or joking approach is used to acknowledge the absence. Whatever the case may be, there is always some drama or explanation that can be whipped up to take advantage of a character’s resurgence into a show they previously departed. Sitcoms, dramas, soap operas, and really any show that is on long enough will run into this issue, and it is up to them to decide how smooth the return will be.&nbsp;

No matter how many series have managed&nbsp;to get it right and stick the landing with their finales, there are so many TV shows that failed to live up to fans&#39; standards. That might come down to weird pacing, last-minute twists, or bizarre, unresolved cliffhangers &ndash; or, the problems could have to do with the romantic pairings. Few series finale decisions&nbsp;are quite as frustrating for viewers as seeing TV characters who chose the wrong partner in the end.

Whether it be through behind-the-scenes complications or genuine narrative fumbling&nbsp;by the creative team, there are many reasons why there are so many&nbsp;TV characters who ended up with the wrong person.

When a television show first starts, the writers of the program already have the star in mind. They write for the characters they think the audience will relate to and like the most and design the show around those characters. However, once the show hits the airwaves, the viewers don&rsquo;t always agree. Sometimes the true star of the show is the unlikeliest candidate. The breakout character is usually a character who was introduced as part of the supporting cast, but for one reason or another became a fan favorite. This list of the greatest breakout characters in TV history includes characters from both comedies and dramas and has been ranked by the community.

The breakout character on a TV show usually becomes the most discussed and most loved part of the show. He or she has the funniest lines, the best stories, and is portrayed by the favorite actor. After a positive audience reaction, these breakout characters suddenly start to get more screen time and story lines. Characters like <a href="https://groovyhistory.com/aaay-fonzie-happy-days-stories" target="_blank">Fonzie</a> and Ben Linus were never meant to be huge parts of their shows, but after their introduction, it was inevitable that they&rsquo;d become pivotal to the show&rsquo;s success. Some breakout characters, like Frasier Crane, even go on to star in their own series.
