List of TV's most memorable characters, of all time, chosen by the Ranker community. What makes a character live on in the public's memory, even years after the original run of their respective TV programs? In some cases, it's the amount of depth that the show's writers, actors and other creators were able to bring to the character over the course of many years. For many of the greatest TV characters of all time, audiences feel like they get to know personalities like Dexter Morgan from &quot;Dexter.&quot; Even after the show leaves the air, they may not want that relationship to end. (Thankfully, they don't have to, as many shows live on for years after their cancellation on DVD and in syndication.) The best TV characters are ones that you feel like you know and that you'd want to be friends with.TV has brought many famous characters to life who have been extremely compelling, even if they are not entirely likeable. Viewers may not wish to know dangerous, shadowy figures like Tony Soprano, Vernon Schillinger, and Omar Little in reality, but following their exploits safely from the comfort of your living room can be appealing. Likewise, people who might be aloof or downright unpleasant in real life - think &quot;Mad Men's&quot; Don Draper or Al Swearengen of &quot;Deadwood&quot; - can prove charming, even admirable, when seen at a distance, with the subtext and intricacy that a top long-running TV show can provide.Who is the greatest TV character ever?

List of the best TV grumps. Male or female, these are the greatest grumpy TV characters -- television curmudgeons whose pessimistic rants and antics usually make viewers laugh. From the original great TV grumps, including Fred Sanford and Archie Bunker, to the new generation of grumpy TV characters such as <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-red-forman-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">Red Forman</a> and Sue Sylvester, they&rsquo;re all here.

&nbsp;Why is it that we love TV&rsquo;s curmudgeons? They&rsquo;re unhappy, they complain, they&rsquo;re pessimistic, and they often try to make everyone around them miserable, too. The best TV grumps remain lovable, however, because they tap into our own grumpy sides; besides, their rantings and predictions of doom and gloom often have no effect on anyone else. The other characters in a TV show know that they&rsquo;re dealing with a grouch, and carry on accordingly. In some cases, of course, the greatest grumps on TV really do make others&rsquo; lives miserable, but the curmudgeonly, grumpy character usually gets what&rsquo;s coming to him or her in the end, which makes it okay.

&nbsp;The best grumps on television are usually funny, as well. Frank Costanza generally looks like he&rsquo;s about to pop a blood vessel, but his ravings are hilarious. And underneath it all, many TV curmudgeons have a softer, warmer side. Who can blame a gentle-hearted person for putting up a mean front to protect their tender emotions? Viewers understand this about the best TV curmudgeons: They might seem mean, but they&rsquo;re often concealing a caring personality -- and if they inspire a few laughs in the process, that&rsquo;s all the better.

&nbsp;This list contains the grumps on TV that viewers have both loved and hated, laughed at or felt sorry for. Both female and male TV curmudgeons are included; after all, women can be just as crabby as men. The list also makes no age distinction -- the best TV grouches are both young and old.

Maybe you've struck some kind of a deal with your romantic partner - if Sam and Dean Winchester come to life, you're allowed a hall pass for the weekend. Or maybe you keep your passionate devotion to Fox Mulder or Han Solo on the down low. Whatever the case, it's fun to imagine what it would be like to spend time with one of these handsome fictional men. Categorizing them can be tricky, because some of these sexy, fictional dudes come with a lot of baggage. For example, we all know how sexy Christian Grey and Edward Cullen are, but would you REALLY want to deal with all of their weird emotional issues? Could you look past Loki's mischievous ways and look only to his righteous abs? Would Tony Stark's good looks be enough to drown out his extreme narcissism? These are the questions you'll have to answer as you pour over this list of fictional characters you'd leave your man for. How do your hot fictional characters skew? Are you more about the good guys, like Thor and Elliot Stabler, or do the bad boys get your blood flowing, like Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Or are you interested in just the right mix of Stiles, Sherlock Holmes, and Magic Mike? However your list stacks up, have fun picking and choosing the fictional characters you'd leave your man for. A little crush on someone you could never actually get with is completely healthy and normal.

The most badass current TV characters include men and women who, though they do not exist in reality, are fearless in today's television landscape. The most badass characters on television are the ones who threaten the status quo, stand up for what they believe in, and get the job done. That includes fictional presidents like Selina Meyer (from VEEP on HBO) and Frank Underwood (from House of Cards on Netflix). It also includes old school divas who kick butt, like Rayna James on Nashville, as well as effective criminals, like James Spader's Raymond Reddington on The Blacklist.Some of the most <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-most-badass-big-screen-action-heroes?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">badass characters</a> currently on TV are heroes like Matt Murdoch from Daredevil and Melinda May from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

List of the greatest bad boys in TV history. Here is a listing of the cream of the crop when it comes to television's best bad boys. The best and the baddest of the bunch make their ensemble that much richer. Perhaps Samuel L. Jackson's character in &quot;Pulp Fiction&quot; would refer to the TV characters ranker here as &quot;BAMFS.&quot; Whatever tough guy categorization you would like to give these characters, they are undoubtedly the coolest -- if not particularly warm -- men to grace our screens every week. And nobody can down whiskey like Don Draper, just like nobody could scare television parents like bad boys next door Ryan Atwood (&quot;The O.C.&quot;) and Shawn Hunter (&quot;Boy Meets World&quot;).This list includes TV bad boy characters with dark brooding attitudes, leather jackets, motorcycles, dour dispositions, sad mysterious pasts, questionable ethics - and hopeful girls who love them anyway. Dylan McKay, Chuck Bass, and even The Fonz are at the top of our ranks. Vote up the quintessential bad boys on television to shape this list, or click rerank to make a version of your own.

List of the best dressed male TV characters currently on TV or from the past. These men prove that males have nearly as many fashion options as women, and they can rock clothes in the same styles, from boho to preppy to mod. This list includes the most fashionable men on TV, whether they dress elegantly or casually.When thinking of fashionable men on TV, it’s not uncommon to think of men in suits. The suit is, after all, classic men’s formal wear, along with the suit’s cousin, the tuxedo. The most stylish male characters on TV are classed as such because they know how to wear a suit well. Think of the perfectly groomed male cast of “Mad Men,” who not only wear complementary tie, shirt, and suit combos but also wear the finishing accessories that pull looks together: cufflinks, pocket squares, waistcoats, and more.Or consider fashionable male characters who are usually seen in casual wear. Whether in jeans or slacks, sweaters or t-shirts, these men are always coordinated and always sport polishing touches, such as hats, watches, scarves, or even designer socks. Prefer men in fantastic costume? The <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/hottest-male-celebrities?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">hottest male</a> TV stars pull off these looks, too.

The &quot;dark and troubled past&quot; trope is nothing new. Rarely on a&nbsp;TV show is there not at least one character who&nbsp;has&nbsp;gone through something traumatic in their history. This trauma can range&nbsp;from absent parents to abusive relatives, or&nbsp;from criminal pasts to dead lovers.&nbsp;Some <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/current-tv-characters-we-love-to-hate/anncasano" target="_blank">TV characters</a> just have it worse than others. But the characters on this list really take the cake. From homelessness, to castration, to&nbsp;accidentally killing their loved ones, these characters have been through so much it&#39;s honestly surprising they&rsquo;re still standing.

For some, the hardship <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/fictional-children-who-will-be-the-most-messed-up-adults/john-ungaro" target="_blank">started at a really young age</a>, affecting them way into adulthood. Others learn to accept their traumatic past and find a way to move forward, only occasionally revealing glimpses of their emotional scars.&nbsp;All in all, a troubled past can certainly make a character more layered and complex. Plus, a good backstory can push viewers to root for characters they would otherwise despise,&nbsp;and to love&nbsp;their favorites even more.

The only downside? Sometimes the backstories are so brutal they can prove <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/times-you-wanted-to-quit-tv-shows/anncasano">too much to handle</a>. Here are our favorite TV heroes with highly disturbing pasts, from <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/phoebe-buffay-backstory-friends/anncasano" target="_blank">Phoebe Buffay</a> to Doctor Who himself.

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

List of the most mismatched TV couples. These couples, whether they stayed together, are the ones that make viewers scratch their heads and say, “huh?” Included on this list of TV’s greatest odd couples are the ones that either make no sense or would probably never happen in real life.&nbsp;The reasons why a TV couple feels mismatched are numerous. Often, it’s a case of physical differences, which might be termed the ‘<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/beauty-and-the-beast-aftermath/hannah-collins?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">beauty and the beast</a>’ couple. Other mismatched TV couples are made up of two people from different generations, financial backgrounds, or social standings. Sometimes it’s a combination, as in the case of Jay and Gloria from Modern Family. Of course, some mismatched TV romances aren’t comprised of partners different in looks or age, but in personality. For instance, he’s fiery tempered, she’s peaceful. Or, he is introspective, while she loves to socialize.No matter the type of mismatching, in the case of TV couples, mismatched doesn’t necessarily mean incompatible. Many mismatched TV couples stay together, with the partners’ idiosyncrasies and differences providing balance. Others stay together for a while, only to find that their differences are unresolvable. Sometimes these scenarios are heartbreaking; other times, viewers are glad that the couple broke up.Who do you think is the weirdest, most unlikely couple in TV history? This list contains the oddest couples on TV, from dramas to sitcoms to animated shows. Whether you love these pairings or hate them, you can’t deny they’re the ones that have made history as TV’s most ill-matched couples.

Romance

List of the best perpetual bachelor TV characters, as ranked by television critics and fans. The bachelor character seems to pop up on nearly every television show, especially in sitcoms. These types of male characters are constantly dating, flitting from one fling to the next. Sometimes, like in the case of Joey from Friends, the character isn’t looking for anything too serious, just dates around a lot for the fun of it. Other times,the character is hopelessly romantic but unlucky in love, like How I Met Your Mother’s Ted Mosby and Scrubs’s J.D. Many of these characters are quite the catch, with great jobs, good looks, and charming personalities. While bachelor characters like Tim Riggins from Friday Night Lights and The Good Wife’s Will Gardner often get into relationships, they often last only a few episodes due to their permanently single personalities. Not all of the everlasting bachelors on this list are straight, with gay characters like Max Blum and Jack McFarland dating just as much as the rest.Who are the finest eternal bachelors on TV? This list includes characters who can’t seem to catch a break in the dating department or aren’t interested in settling down any time soon.

We Are Family

In the TV family hierarchy, the eldest child of the family bears a heavy burden on his or her shoulders. Whether a reluctant role model (Denise Huxtable, The Cosby Show) or the next King of the North (Robb Stark, Game of Thrones), the greatest oldest children in TV history have some essential qualities in common. The best oldest children in TV history have a rebellious streak. As older brothers and sisters, the first child of the family has a responsibility to his or her siblings to push their parents’ limits to the breaking point. (Even Matt Camden (7th Heaven) sent his parents into fits when he eloped.) When their rebellion backfires – a l&agrave; Greg Brady (The Brady Bunch) unsuccessfully hiding the school mascot in the attic – they sometimes find their parents will work with them instead of against them. Of course the greatest oldest children have to cope with darker matter, as well. Protecting one’s mother from his father, the drug kingpin (Walter White, Jr., Breaking Bad), battling an addiction to uppers (Alex P. Keaton, Family Ties), and being Don and Betty Draper’s daughter (Sally Draper, Mad Men), are just a few of the difficult chores these firstborn have had to face. Finally, the greatest oldest children in TV history – or, many of them – must leave the nest first, creating tearful goodbyes as well as awkward plot devices. Though Modern Family’s Haley Dunphy getting <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-people-who-were-kicked-out-of-college/celebrity-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">kicked out of college</a> seemed perfectly plausible, other eldest children either saw their screen time evaporate (Haddie Braverman, Parenthood), or simply refused to age at all (Bart Simpson, The Simpsons).

Perseverance is one of the most admirable traits a person can have and it’s quite common in fiction to have a protagonist who deals with adversity at every turn. These characters might watch the people they love die, while facing hurdle after hurdle. The average person would cut their losses and give up. Since these fictional characters are so extraordinary, they never give up, despite every hardship they face.In literature, determination shows up in some of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-movie-characters-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">most famous characters</a> of all time. Odysseus traveled for decades, facing monsters and war in order to get home to his wife. Captain Ahab searched for a mythical whale, even when he was labeled crazy for doing so. In supernatural fiction, characters <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movies-tv-shows-like-harry-potter/ranker-recs?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">like Harry Potter</a>, Frodo, and Buffy are given plenty of opportunities to abandon their quests, but choose to press on. Practically every superhero character is also imbued with this admirable trait.As rare as perseverance is in real life, it’s a common character trait in some of the best fiction, from television to books. Vote up the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-famous-fictional-character-from-each-state/matthew-lavelle?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best fictional characters</a> below, those who never gave up, even when things were tough.

Fictional Relationships

Those who say that age is but a number are probably fans of age gap romance. The main goal of many of these stories is to explore romantic relationships that aren&#39;t usually considered normal to the main sectors of society. Films like&nbsp;Lolita&nbsp;and&nbsp;American Beauty&nbsp;showcase <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movie-couples-with-creepy-age-gaps/donn-saylor" target="_blank">inappropriate age gap romances</a> between adults and minors. Other age gap romance films like&nbsp;As Good as It Gets&nbsp;and&nbsp;Edge of Tomorrow&nbsp;take a more subtle approach, featuring adult relationships where <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/onscreen-relationship-age-gap/anncasano" target="_blank">one half is much older than the other</a>.&nbsp;

This list focuses on an entirely different sort of age gap relationships: those between characters with age gaps larger than the average human lifespan. Often, these movies and TV shows feature a human mortal and an immortal, or even two different species of supernatural creatures, attempting to build a&nbsp;bridge&nbsp;between their two worlds to make their relationship work.&nbsp;

Though these fantastical romances provide a form of escape for the audience, who gets to imagine what it would be like to be taken for a ride on the Doctor&#39;s Tardis, for example, most of the time the challenges the characters meet come down to normal relationship issues. Sookie&nbsp;Stackhouse breaks up with Bill Compton for lying to her. Edward Cullen doesn&#39;t want to lose his virginity until he&#39;s married. These are everyday issues put in the perspective of beings living outside the rules of a normal human lifespan, which in turn, makes the audience better appreciate the beautiful simplicity of the reality we live in.&nbsp;

Vampires: Who's Thirsty?

Vampires

While vampires may wreak havoc in the fictional world, there&#39;s no shortage of professional vampire hunters who know exactly how to send the undead back to where they came. Equipped with everything from guns to garlic, these hunters are proficient with the mystical arts, so if you ever have a vampire problem, you know exactly who to call.

These vampire hunters may be tough, but they all have their unique strengths and weaknesses.
