Criminal Minds (2005)
Dr. Spencer Reid

Boy genius, eididic memory, several Ph.D's, and one of the most interesting jobs in the world. I love this guy!

Dean Winchester

The loyal brother who takes everything on himself to save the world from an apocalypse his brother brought on...and he does it all while being so darn kissable!
Sam Winchester

The little brother who was marked by a demon at six months old. He's spent his life as an outcast even to the outcasts. I love outcasts!

Band of Brothers (2001)
Doc Roe

He's kept out of firefights because he's too valuable to lose, but he somehow finds himself in them anyway. He sits on the outside looking in and is always there to help out the wounded...even with bullets flying. The fact that this character is based on a real war medic only makes me love him more.

Sons of Anarchy (2008)
Opie

Once again, the loyalty factor plays it's part in this one. This guy has stuck with his club through some pretty horrific things. I quit watching completely at the end of this last season, and if you're an Opie fan, you know why!

The Walking Dead (2010)
Daryll

A guy who rides the loudest motorbike ever around a world where zombies are attracted to sound? A crossbow toting redneck loyal to a brother that deserves absolutely nothing? Don't mind if I do!

Justified (2010)
Raylan Givens

Now the only claim I have to Kentucky is having driven through it once, so I'm not sure if the slow, down home, country drawl reactions are based on anything real, but I just so love it when Timothy Olyphant is in charge of interpreting it!

Veronica Mars (2004)
Veronica Mars

A popular girl turned rebel out to get even with the scum of her high school world...and with the means to do so. Who hasn't dreamed of being her at one point in time?

House M.D. (2004)
House

I don't know how many times I've wanted to scream at someone. "YOU ARE SICK BECAUSE YOU'RE DISGUSTINGLY OBESE! Get up off your lazy cellulite infested rump and WALK!" So to have a doctor that gets paid to do so is, well...fulfilling.

Greek (2007)
Cappie

Who wasn't routing for him and Casey from the beginning? That innocent little boy grin and the calm concern hidden behind a delightfully screw-it-all attitude made me love him from the first episode.

I'm going to be honest here and admit that I want to be Dexter at least four times per day...but damn my un-psychopathic mind!

Hyde

He's probably the main character they spend the least amount of time with, but his morbid sarcasm and paranoia makes me laugh all the time. He's the kind of guy I would have been madly in love with, had I been that age in the 70's.

Highlander (1992)
Duncan Macleod

Of the clan Macleod. I'm sorry, but this beautiful British version is SOOO much better than the wussy little French guy they got to play Connor in the movies.

Game of Thrones (2011)
Tyrion Lannister

Who doesn't like this guy? Born a freak and an outcast in one of the most powerful houses, he relies on brains and an awesome sense of humor. You just can't hate him!
Daenarys Targarean

Rented out like a mule to finance her brother's war. She's lost a child...a husband, and a country. And still, she manages to ignite a bad ass spark every single episode.

Jekyll (2007)
Dr. Jackman/Hyde

He's caring and overprotective with that charming British wit. No wait, he's impulsive and evil with that biting British wit. Aw hell, either way, he's got my vote.

The Big Bang Theory (2006)
Sheldon Cooper

OK, this guy makes me want to hit him and/or strangle him every single episode I watch, but anyone that can provoke violent tendencies and have me laughing so much has earned a place on this list.

South Park (1997)
Cartman

Utterly unoriginal, yes, but who doesn't love an evil, selfish, sociopathic, morbidly obese, antisemitic, misogynist child?

Lost (2004)
Sawyer

He's the bad boy from the beginning, and we slowly figure out that he's just a hurt puppy in hiding. Awwww! Can I pet him?

Space: Above and Beyond (1995)
Lt. Cooper Hawkes

Another outcast. He's a clone sometime after a clone rebellion and as a result everyone seems to hate him. I just love the way he learns to deal with it all.

Heroes (2006)
Peter Petrelli

OK, I've got a weakness for angsty characters and this guy is one yard of sparkly skin short of the angst king. Also, I REALLY want his power!

Moonlight (2007)
Josef

Beautiful and immortal with a wonderful don't-care-at-all-about-humans attitude, but incredibly loyal to his friends and secretly in love with a human. I love a vampire with secrets!

Friends (1994)
Chandler Bing

Come on, admit it. He's made you laugh about a million times. I love the way he deals with his problems and how loyal he is to his friends. I would love a friend like Chandler...and a mother who writes smut novels!

Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005)
Prince Zoku

It's the outcast thing again. He's been rejected by his own father and banished from every kingdom he's ever been in. He should hate his father and his nation and everything they stand for, but he's still trying to win back that approval. Oh yeah...and he shoots fire from his hands.

Skins (2007)
Sid

This kid does clueless and confused so well that you overlook the fact that he's a completely drug addicted jerk. Around the second season when his father dies you just want to hug him and take away all that teenage angst.

Jericho (2006)
Jake Green

I just love a man that can reappear from secret special force operations in some undisclosed Middle Eastern country and take charge of a nation that has been blown to bits by their own nuclear stock. I myself had Montana in mind for the holocaust, but Nebraska will do too.

Being Human (2008)
Mitchell

I know, I know. Everyone likes the werewolf better, but I find him annoyingly whiny, and I'm partial to the ones that struggle with their own inner monster pretty much chronically...not only with the full moon...and in silence!

SeaQuest DSV (1993)
Lucas

Call it a weakness for nerds...or child prodigies. I thought that being on the world's biggest under water weapon and regarded as perhaps the most intelligent person on the boat at age 16 was entincing to say the least.

Shelby Merrick

A whole camp full of destroyed lives and teen angst! Decision, decisions...which one to like best, but I've got to go with the sexually abused runaway who turns to prostitution and goes back into her house to save her sister. And she gets mad props for ultimately rejecting Hayden Christianson. We all want to see that from time to time.

Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993)
Sully

Another hurt puppy. Suffering from the loss of a previous family, and prefering the natives to the settlers, he hides away and only appears to woo the mom from the Wedding Crashers. In spite of his terrible taste, I have always wanted to disappear into the wilderness for a while...and not die there.

Once again, not too original, but it was burning at me today...so I let it have control. The ones that I love from the little silver screen.
