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?

How, exactly, did Carol Brady keep up with that whole bunch? To be fair, she had a lot of help from Alice, but still...it's not easy. And yes, not all of the favorite TV mothers on this list are as capable as say, Shirley Partridge ('The Partridge Family'), or as kind and nurturing as Caroline Ingalls ('Little House on the Prairie'). No, there are hot messes here too, including Peggy Bundy ('Married...With Children'). She might not be perfect, but she definitely loves her (totally messed up) kiddos. Claire Dunphy ('Modern Family'), for all her crazy, is actually a pretty awesome, fun mom to have. If you could choose any one of these TV moms as your own, who would it be? Would you rather have a wacky, hilarious mom like Lucy Ricardo ('I Love Lucy') or a more grounded, serious mom like Abby Bradford ('Eight is Enough').

Characters We'll Never Forget

What is goth? For starters, it's black, it's bleak, and it's ~mysterious~. 

Every Day, I'm Suffering

Goths have been a source of curiosity, outrage, self-expression, and fear since the 1970s. Inspired by <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/new-romantic-bands-and-musicians/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the New Romantic</a> fashions and Edwardian era, the goth umbrella is wide but cohesive, with various genres reaching beyond the traditional modern subculture represented by some of the best goths in movies today.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-goth-characters-tv/oliver-pretl-drummond/edit" target="_blank">Goth representation </a>began long before this concrete subculture developed. Gothic literature has existed since the late 18th century, and some of the media&#39;s most beloved goths made their first appearance on the silver screen. From 1915 to today, the best goth characters - including a fair number of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-goth-comic-book-characters/oliver-pretl-drummond" target="_blank">comic-book goths</a> - have sent our cultural environment to darker&nbsp;and more romantic depths, and the best goth characters in movies prove that.&nbsp;

A show that two of your favorite characters are on could be garbage, the characters surrounding the duo could be annoying, the entire series could be a slog - but we&#39;d still watch because the chemistry of a great couple is pure TV magic. Whether&nbsp;they can banter like no one else, argue and makeup in the span of a few minutes, or just be magically charming together, the best husbands and wives on television have a special place in our TV watching hearts.

While TV may still love pairing <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-husbands-whose-wives-should-have-divorced-them/ranker-tv" target="_blank">husbands</a> who aren&#39;t good partners with <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-wives-who-should-divorce/alexandra-plesa" target="_blank">wives who have too much patience</a>, TV has changed a lot in recent years. Luckily for us, a huge part of that shift has to do with putting great husbands and wives&nbsp;front and center and giving us the privilege of watching them live their lives. From goofy sitcoms to heartbreaking dramas, from big budget epics to small-scale indie cable shows, the best TV husbands and wives&nbsp;are the ones that make us wish our relationships&nbsp;were as stable, healthy, and just plain entertaining as the ones in our favorite <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-shows-about-marriage/ranker-tv/" target="_blank">shows with married couples</a>. If there&#39;s one thing that these husband and wife duos&nbsp;from TV can do best it&#39;s make us wish we had their lives, whether they&#39;re solving every problem life throws at them with grace&nbsp;or looking beautiful and happy from sunup to sundown.

Regardless of the reality of these marriages, after a hard day sometimes all we want to do is escape and watch people that cope with life better than us. With that in mind, get your vows ready, never have a fight that lasts more than one episode, and live your best life with your best spouse, because it&#39;s time to rank the best husband and wife duos&nbsp;on TV.
