Thirdborn Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Alright, I'm sitting here watching HBO, and it got me thinking who my favorite character through out all of their shows. Say within the last 5-10 years. There's Larry David, Mr. Italian Soprano, Richard Winters in Band o Brothers, etc. But after all of this treacherous thinking, I believe that The Sherpa, Season 1, Entourage is by far the best HBO character in recent years . Any thoughts? OMAR The wire
Kingfish Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Bob and David Mr. Show was the best comedy sketch show EVER!
The Big Cat Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 If Omar Little doesn't make your list, you're an uncultured bastard. Lest we forget: Jay Landsman Bubbles (already mentioned) Prop Joe Brother Muzzone -and- Frank Sobatka That's right, I went Wire and Wire only.
Steely Dan Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 In no particular order: Gary Shandling (one of the best ever!! ) Claire Fisher Nate Fisher David Fisher Brenda Chenowith Billy Chenowith Margaret Chenowith Tony Soprano Carmella Soprano Meadow Richie Aprile Ralph Cifaretto Adriana La Cerva Silvio Dante Paulie Walnuts Janice Soprano Livia Soprano Larry David Suzie Green Wanda Sykes
Fingon Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 If Omar Little doesn't make your list, you're an uncultured bastard. Lest we forget: Jay Landsman Bubbles (already mentioned) Prop Joe Brother Muzzone -and- Frank Sobatka That's right, I went Wire and Wire only. I've always liked Prop Joe... it's damn impressive how he was on top for such a long time.
Andrew in CA Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 LD hands down. And personally, I think Bubbles was the worst character on the Wire by far. I had no interest in his story and just wanted him to disappear.
The Jokeman Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Too many to really mention but some one's that immediate thought of were Nate Fisher, Murray Hewitt from Flight of the Conchords, the Crypt Keeper and if go back really far Martin Tupper from Dream On. I excluded Larry David as he's really not a character but a real person playing a version of himself. As a result I also had to exclude Jemaine Clement.
Buftex Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Tony Soprano...best character in television history...move over Mr Spock...I don't think any other character was written and acted with such depth... After Tony, it goes Arthur ("Larry Sanders"), and Christopher Moltisanti

Buftex Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 That wasn't HBO, it was Showtime. Johnny Drama Hank Kingsley Arthur Al Swearengen Kenny Powers Glad to see all the "Larry Sanders" love in this thread...I have been dubbing all the episodes on to dvd for my sister (she is sick) the last few weeks, and the show stands up so well. It is my all-time favorite comedy. What a great cast. You just forget how many great bit players there were... Arthur could give Al a run for his money in the cursing department....
