View Full Version : TV Character Tournament
Talked about starting one of these in the TV Tournament. I probably won't start it until that is finished which will be a week but i thought i may as well start the thread early to see if there's any interest. Since you can have multiple characters from a show i think this will be easier to come up with a large amount of nominations, so i'll be going for 128 at least. If you are interested you can nominate 8 right now, or you can wait to see if there's enough interest.
You can nominate any character from a fictional show, and i'd allow you to nominate people like Stephen Colbert from The Colbert Report since that is basically a character or say Ali G/Borat/Bruno from The Ali G Show.
If you are interested please post in the thread.

About the votation, is the same system as the TV Shows Tournament? where you vote the ones you want and you have to had seen the series for at least 1 or 2 episodes?

I just love her WTF moments, maybe I could've been a little better with the choices, but sh**, I was going to choose Felix from Orphan Black!! And there is nothing wrong with him, it's just I was just going to pick him cause he was hilarious, but I HATE him, so much.
Mmm If I'm allow to change Maggie I would like to pick:
Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty

David Addison - Moonlighting

No problem just let me know when you've added them. After Topsy adds her 4 we'll have 56. I'll keep this going until the TV Tournament is over but if there's not that much more interest i think we'll just go with 64.
Bump. Just in case anyone else wants to nominate and hasn't seen the thread.

No i still am. I was saying done to changing SCs character. Go ahead and nominate if you want to.
one of my favourite characters is carmen from the l word,but i dont think most here will like that show :lol:
Stopping noms then 80 characters were nominated. I'll just do forty 2 character matches the first round then the second i'll add a few 3 character matches to cut it down from 40 to 16. Will get the first set of 10 up in a minute.

B. A. Baracus-The A-Team - Cricket vs Gustavo Fring - Breaking Bad - Derek
B.A. was the best character on one of my favorite shows as a kid. Mr. T became a superstar and icon because of the role. Gus is at best my 5th favorite character on Breaking Bad. It's still a very close call.
Daryl Dixon - Walking Dead - Derek vs Moe Szyslak - The Simpsons - SC

Have you seen The Walking Dead? If you haven't you can't vote in that match, sorry.

That's right Camo, and I also liked the son and the old guy with the bell a lot.
I wasn't really crazy about any of his family but yeah Tuco's grandad was great. So was Saul, he's better in Better Call Saul of course though.

I figure that might be the case for a lot of people because I don't think it's that well known. It's a sci-fi show that only started late last year. I rather liked season one and have been looking forward to season 2 (it doesn't start until 2017 though). I also like Thomas Jane in general, so I wanted to nominate his character regardless.

I can just vote the ones I know right? I mean, that I need to know both series to vote
Daryl Dixon - Walking Dead - Derek vs Moe Szyslak - The Simpsons - SC
Moe is hilarious, but he is still a sad, depressed and angry character, Derek instead is amazing, he is not my favorite from TWD but I scream like a fangirl whenever he comes in a suprise attack to save the day
B. A. Baracus-The A-Team - Cricket vs Gustavo Fring - Breaking Bad - Derek]
I'm a huge Mr. T fan, I used an avatar of him in the forum too I think :D. Gustavo is pretty cool too, but sometimes I wasn't sure what he was thinking, I mean if he was pleased with Walter or if he hated him.
Yeah, as long as you are familiar with the characters basically.

Wait, so I can vote in the battles my characters are too?
Also did you forget to write the one that nominated "Junior Soprano - The Sopranos" ?
And I'm sure this will be turn down but, can I watch scenes from the characters on youtube instead of watching the series?. Maybe it can contein spoilers but there are just scenes, and even if I watch 5 episodes of each series the characters don't have the best scenes in the first 5 episodes. Just wondering.

I said that because i knew Cricket had watched Breaking Bad, you can only vote if you are familiar with both characters.
Yeah, all of those are TONGO's without the names, it's because he nominated so many Sopranos characters i forgot to add his name to them all.
No to the scenes on youtube.

Gus was awesome but for a 5 year span in the US, Mr T/BA Baracus was "the man", as popular as The Fonz in his heyday.
CosmicRunaway
10-18-16, 04:42 PM
It's kind of funny that All in the Family came up in this first set of match-ups, because when I was on my lunch break this morning, some people in the break room were talking about Archie Bunker. Strange coincidence.
Archie Bunker - All In The Family - Cricket vs Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones - tat
I never really liked All in the Family, but as anyone who followed the TV Tournaments probably knows, I'm not a fan of American sitcoms in general anyway. This wasn't that easy a vote though, because Brienne is not really high on my ranking of GoT characters. I like her just enough to give her the vote though.
Daryl Dixon - Walking Dead - Derek vs Moe Szyslak - The Simpsons - SC
While I don't like The Walking Dead, Daryl is definitely one of the more interesting characters. I haven't seen beyond the episodes I watched for the TV Tournament, but from what I hear he is easily the fan favourite so he'll probably do well in this tournament. Moe is a tough opponent to be up against though, and he's the one who is getting my vote this time. Maybe I'd vote differently if I had seen more of The Walking Dead, but I don't think I ever will.
B. A. Baracus - The A-Team - Cricket vs Gustavo Fring - Breaking Bad - Derek
This was a tough decision. Gus is a pretty good character, but not one of my favourites from the show. While I'm not a huge fan of The A-Team, Baracus is definitely one of its highlights.
Josephus Miller - The Expanse - Cosmic vs Al Bundy - Married With Children - Cricket
Again, Married with Children is not a show I particularly liked when it was still airing. When I rewatched some episodes for the TV Tournament it was funnier than I remembered it being, but this wasn't even a close match-up for me.
Lisa Landry - Sister Sister - Topsy vs Junior Soprano - The Sopranos
While I still haven't finished the rest of season one of the Sopranos, June is one of the characters I like the most so far. He's pretty amusing every time he's on screen. While I liked Lisa more than I liked the kids in Sister Sister, it's not really an even match for me.

I'm pretty sure Camo said that the rules were the same as the TV Tournament, which would mean that you need to watch another 2 episodes to vote in that match-up.
It was 3 episodes for 40+ minute shows (or just 2 for ones with 90 min episodes), and 5 for the 30 min ones.

Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni - The Sopranos - TONGO vs Ritchie Aprile - The Sopranos - Tongo
I don't know either of these characters. They must not appear until after the episodes I watched. I have been meaning to go back and watch more of The Sopranos, but I'm not sure I'll get the chance this set unless they both appear in the first season.
David Addison - Moonlighting - gbg vs Huey - The Boondocks - Camo
I don't know either of these. I'll try to find time to watch both. I've heard good things about The Boondocks, but haven't heard of Moonlighting before now.
Sawyer - Lost - Derek vs Dr. Cristina Yang, Grey's Anatomy - Gideon
I don't think I've seen enough of Grey's Anatomy to vote (just some odd episodes awhile ago at my friend's house), but I'll definitely watch it so I can.
Carmela Soprano - The Sopranos vs Eric Cartman - South Park - Derek
Carmela was not a character that really stuck out to me in the first few episodes. Maybe she gets more interesting later on. Even though I don't really like South Park, my vote is for Cartman, because while he could be really annoying, when he was funny he was pretty good.
Dean Winchester - Supernatural - Derek vs Captain Mal Reynolds - Firefly - gbg
I gave up on Supernatural a really long time ago. That said, I did like Dean a lot more than I liked Sam. However Mal gets my vote here easily.
Johnny Sack comes into The Sopranos in Season 1, he only appears once though and doesn't come into his element til Season 3/4. Ritchie is one of the main characters of Season 2. It's understandable if you can't vote in that match.

Sawyer - Lost - Derek vs Dr. Cristina Yang, Grey's Anatomy - Gideon (I've watch a few episodes with my mom of Grey's Anatomy I don't know if it's fair? but whatever Sawyer is my favorite character of Lost and it's one of my favorite TV-Show)

It's the Asian character right? I've seen episodes with her in it... but if you don't want to count my vote I'm fine with it bro
Tough one. I'll accept it right now and we'll see how the rest of the votes go. If it ends up a tie i'll probably discount your vote though.

? There's two kids and the younger one fits your problems much more; Huey is the most mature and self-aware character on the show.
The Boondocks is a self-aware satire of black and white culture, and society in general. I'll go into it further with you if you want all i can say is that it went right over your head or it clashed with your prudish nature. Whichever one it was clearly your fault no offence.

Huey is easily the best character on the show, but it's not like he has a lot of competition. I've watched 3 episodes so far, and I'll try to watch 2 more tonight, but the show isn't getting any better for me. The theme of the show is being overshadowed by the overuse of bad language. (I usually don't mind bad language in TV and movies, because I hear enough of it IRL every day, but it just seems to be too much for me in this show for some reason.)

It's understandable that you would get upset about someone not liking a show that you love, especially if you think the other person just doesn't get the point of the show.
I'm sorry if you think my comments about the show were offensive. That wasn't my intention. Maybe you're right, and I'm just missing the point. I'll watch the episode that you recommended, and I promise to watch it with an open mind. :)

It's not that though. My favourite show is The Sopranos; say whatever you want about it.
The Boondocks is a show that you said was "kind of offensive" which is violently not understanding what the show is about at all. And is kind of offensive in the sense that it is saying i enjoy watching racial stereotypes or whatever you found offensive. The show is about dismantling and confirming sterotypes and mainly about confronting race-relations from a comedy and a black perspective in particular.

I'll watch the episode that you recommended and see if it makes more sense to me. If there are any other episodes that you would recommend, let me know. (I started at the beginning of the series, so I've already watched episodes 1-3 of season 1.)

I was busier this week than I expected to be, so unfortunately I haven't watched a single episode I planned to watch for this. It was just Moonlighting and The Boondocks that I hadn't seen anything of before, so I think I'll just watch whichever one wins this match before the winning show turns up again. I'll also have to try and watch more Sopranos since I've still only seen about 5 episodes of it, and every other character in the show has been nominated haha.
I'm sure I've technically seen enough episodes of Grey's Anatomy to vote in that match, but it's been so long and I don't know what episodes I watched, and they were definitely out of order (that character was in all of them though). I don't really feel comfortable voting there without watching the first few episodes properly, and since it doesn't look like Sawyer needs my vote right now anyway, I'm going to pass on it for now.
Hopefully I'll be able to vote in more match-ups in the next set, or at the very least have more time to watch the shows I haven't seen. Discovering new shows has been my favourite part of these tournaments. I'm really curious about The Boondocks after all the recent talk about it, but it might have to wait until after the tournament if it doesn't win this match (unfortunately it doesn't look good for the show right now though).

10-28-16, 09:20 PM
Yeah, you are wrong. It's not your fault you are too dense to realize half-not subtle satire. The fact that you honestly looked this up is maybe the most pathetic thing i've ever seen though. Jesus Christ :D
I get that the show isn't trying to be offensive, but I still found it offensive. Just because the show is created by and/or written by black people, that doesn't justify the constant use of the "n" word, which IMO, is one of the most offensive words in the English language.
CosmicRunaway
10-28-16, 09:26 PM
[...] the constant use of the "n" word
I see that fairly frequently in tv shows and movies, and always wonder if people actually talk like that in real life.
I don't find it offensive though if anyone was curious.

I haven't seen either of these, other than a few minutes of MADtv.
Vic Mackey, The Shield Cricket vs Tobias, Arrested Development - Camo
While I absolutely love Arrested Development, I never really liked Tobias that much. He was one of my least favourite characters (sorry Camo). Vic on the other hand I really liked from minute one.
Rick, Rick and Morty - tat vs Evelyn Harper, Two and a Half Men - Gideon
While I don't like Rick and Morty as a show, I like Rick more than Evelyn.
Chandler Bing, Friends - Topsy vs Rebecca Howe, Cheers - Gideon
Chandler was always my favourite Friends character. Rebecca was not really a character I liked, but upon reflection that might just be because I didn't like Kristie Alley in Wrath in Khan, so that reflected negatively on her character in Cheers.
Tattoo, Fantasy Island - Cricket vs Niles Crane, Frasier - gbg
This one was a little close, because while I didn't like Frasier very much, I kept watching the show because of Niles. Speaking of Wrath of Khan, if you had nominated Mr. Roarke instead Cricket, I probably would've sent the vote your way.
He was one of my least favourite characters (sorry Camo)
Understandable. He's very over the top and basically only has one joke which isn't original, i just love David Cross. Who is your favourite character? Mines is G.O.B.

It's either GOB or Lucille. I was going to nominate both, but ended up just going with GOB, so I guess I subconsciously decided that I liked him more haha.
Tobias does have a few good moments though. I did like the whole "blue myself" bit and him being unaware of the way he speaks ("Tobias, you blow hard!" etc).

That episode is great. Love Michaels reactions to him that episode "you should really think about recording yourself to hear what you sound like" haha. I wasn't really big on his whole Mrs. Featherbottom (Mrs Doubtfire) thing but this kills me all the time:

Love the whole dying from hairplugs thing and his stuff with Carl Weathers as well. I also thought he had one of the funniest stories in Season 4; the fantastic 4 musical was incredible as well as the sex offender stuff.

Phil is the man, great nom Topsy. I don't actually think Modern Family is a great show personally, at least not as much as the acclaim it gets indicates but Phil is so hilarious and he might be the most likable character i've ever seen in anything.

I've watched every episode since the pilot episode, plus I watch the reruns every night. For some reason, I understand Sheldon. All those things he does that annoy other people are things that I can relate to. I even have some of his idiosyncrasies. :)

I think i understand him extremely well which is why he is the only bearable character on a terrible show. He annoys me because he is inconsistently characterized which is the mark of terrible writing, which equals this funny for ten minutes abomination. haha.

Phil Dunphy, Modern Family - Topsy vs Sheldon Cooper, The Big Bang Theory - tat
While I watched the first two seasons of The Big Bang Theory when it was new, the show and its characters quickly grew old and started trying my patience. I wouldn't say that I grew to hate the show, but I definitely don't like it. Sheldon Cooper was my favourite character, but years of people quoting him and posting memes has soured my opinion of him significantly.
I really like Modern Family. I'm not sure why, but I'm just really into it and find it really funny. I like all the characters except for Manny and Luke (though Luke is sometimes alright). Phil easily gets my vote here.
Shaw, Person of Interest - Topsy vs Daisy Duke, The Dukes of Hazzard - Cricket
I've never seen Person of Interest.
Chris Keller, Oz - Gideon vs Tony Soprano, The Sopranos - TONGO
I've never seen Oz either.
Bernice Clifton, Designing Women - SC vs Coach Taylor, Friday Night Lights - Topsy
I haven't seen either of these.
ALF, ALF - SC vs Carol, The Walking Dead - tat
One of my friends as a kid really liked Alf, so I was subjected to many episodes while I was at their house. I never liked him at all, mostly because I really like cats and didn't find it vaguely amusing that he wanted to eat Lucky. I think I just disliked him on principle from the start and was unable to get over that bias.
Daryl was the only character I really liked from what little of The Walking Dead I saw, but I'll give the old lady the point here. Unless someone tells me she eats a cat in later seasons, at which point I'll retract my vote from this match-up haha.
I like all the characters except for Manny and Luke (though Luke is sometimes alright). Phil easily gets my vote here.
Manny was actually probably my second favourite when i watched it. But i did start to sour on him as he got older and that's when i stopped watching. Luke wasn't bad just a bit dull, i liked that he was supposed to be basically Phil when he was a kid but i don't think the execution was great.
Also :up: for voting for Phil like a good human being.

Manny was actually probably my second favourite when i watched it. But i did start to sour on him as he got older and that's when i stopped watching. Luke wasn't bad just a bit dull, i liked that he was supposed to be basically Phil when he was a kid but i don't think the execution was great.
I didn't mind Manny at the start, but he's just grown to be too pretentious. Luke has also changed a little bit over the years. Instead of just being Phil Jr., he's usually played off as being really dumb, and sometimes it's a bit too much of a stretch for me. His stupidity does get a laugh every now and then though.
Topsy joins the good people brigade :up: (yes i'm trying to scare off votes for Sheldon :laugh:)
My 17000th post was Anti-Big Bang Theory. It feels so right :D
phil dunphy-modern family - Topsy vs Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory - tat
(One of the easiest choices i've ever made in these tournaments. Sheldon is the best thing about Big Bang but he is still an obnoxious and only occasionally funny part of one of the worst shows ever. Phil is the man, great nom Topsy. I don't actually think Modern Family is a great show personally, at least not as much as the acclaim it gets indicates but Phil is so hilarious and he might be the most likable character i've ever seen in anything. Who doesn't always root for Phil when he does something dumb?
Bernice Clifton - Designing Women - SC vs coach taylor-friday night lights - Topsy
(Saw the first ep of Friday Night Lights and found it boring, but Sean C who usually gives good recs said it gets much better. Have never heard of the other show.)
haha yeah phil and chandler are prob the funniest tv characters imo
they air the big bang all the time here,its okay but nothing more than that for me.I like most characters on modern family,though i think the actor playing Luke can be a bit stiff sometimes and the girl playing Lily is plain awful.Also Sofia Vergara can be incredibly annoying at times,but thats down to me not really liking her off screen either and theres not really a whole big difference there.
Phil and Claire are such a great team though :lol:
Friday Night Lights,well its defo not an actionpacked show :lol: I used to watch it back when it was on tv,if youre just watching it for this tournament i fear you might find it a bit boring.I really like it though its a bit slow paced.

the girl playing Lily is plain awful.
Whenever she has to say something with emotion it is pretty bad, but I think she totally works on a comedic level. I find her character and dialogue to be pretty hilarious at times, and it is definitely in part due to her deadpan delivery.
haha yeah phil and chandler are prob the funniest tv characters imo
In my favourite tv characters list Chandler was third behind only Tont Soprano and Don Draper. Not sure if i think he's the funniest tv character but he is up there and he is very relatable and likable; his friendship with Joey is one of my favourite things ever. Same with Phil, i don't really think he is the funniest character but he is hilarious and i can't think of a single character more likable than him in any movies or shows. He messes up all the time but it's usually out of his stupidity, naivety, recklessness, etc, and he always makes up for it. His 'oh no i've done something bad what is Clair going to do' face is the best.
Yeah, i think i'd like to have the boxsets of Friday Night Lights or on Netflix or something so i can easily binge them. I'm definitely planning on giving it a good go at some point.
Edit: So i don't double-post. I stopped watching when Lilly was barely a character, she only spoke a few times an episode. Interesting that she is in it more now i didn't even think about her.
FYI about Shaw in Person of interest-she doesnt appear on the show till season 2episode 16 called Relevance.
the show is on netflix-atleast here it is
Thanks for everyones votes but the only thing i've ever been disgusted by in these tournaments is the Sheldon over Phil votes. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
Monno :up:
Sheldons a force of nature. That role is so complex and the lines Jim Parsons has to pull off are just mind boggling for such a light tv show. I have to include the performance itself besides the character in my evaluation. Having said that, I couldnt handle being Sheldons roommate or friend, the guy'd drive me nuts.

I remember there were a few articles about fans of the show being cruel towards the Actress who played Lily.that aint right obviously-
but you cant really know what you get when you hire childactors,she was pretty much a baby when she was brought on.at the same time-if youre ever going to recast doing it when they`re a child is the best.

Seems Carol is going to lose against a....alien bipedal pig? Anyway I didn't vote since the 1st set I believe not because I forgot I just don't have the 2 TV Shows seen to vote in any of the matches. In this one I can vote this:
phil dunphy-modern family - Topsy vs Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory - tat
I just want to clearify, I started watching Modern Family when I finished How I met your Mother for the 3rd time, and I started it not so long ago, but after the Torunament began. After reading a lot of the comments I understand why you guys are choosing Phil. To be honest, I don't know why Sheldon is one of my characters, I thought I changed him. Anyway I shouldn't have choosen him in the first place, he is kind of a doushe, but Phil! he is the nicest most hilarious and feminine character there is! For example this is what I just saw in the last episode I watched: When Gloria was trying to learn how to ride a bicycle, she said "I need somebody gentile, nurturing, like a woman" *she knocks on Phil's door*
I would have choosed Gloria, I love that character so much :p
It's just about been a week so i'm closing this set; thankfully no ties. Will get the next up in a minute:
phil dunphy-modern family - Topsy 5 vs Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory - tat 3
Shaw-Person of interest - Topsy 2 vs Daisy Duke - The Dukes of Hazzard - Cricket 0

Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri - The Sopranos vs Arya Stark from Game of Thrones - tat

(Good show and character but Don Draper is my favourite TV Character so easy choice)
Jayne Cobb - Firefly - Cosmic vs Buffy Summers-Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Topsy
(Prefer Buffy but Jayne was maybe my favourite from Firefly so i wouldn't be that bothered if he won)
Capt. Jack Harkness - Torchwood - gbg vs Moss - The IT Crowd - Cosmic
(Never seen Torchwood)
Elliot Alderson Mr Robot - Camo vs Sue Sylvester from Glee - tat
(easy decision again. Elliot is one of my favourites on tv right now; i like Jane Lynch but i'm not crazy about her Glee character)

Don Draper, Mad Men - Camo vs Blaine DeBeers, iZombie - Cosmic
I couldn't really get into Mad Men when I watched it for the TV Tournament. I always meant to go back and try a few more episodes, but I never got around to it. iZombie was another show I only watched because of the tournament, but I really liked it and watched both seasons. With Blaine being my favourite character on the show, he gets my vote here easily.
Jayne Cobb, Firefly - Cosmic vs Buffy Summers, Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Topsy
This is much tougher. I didn't watch all of Buffy (I stopped watching around the time the Angel spin-off started), but it was a show I rather liked at the time. That said, I still like Firefly now, so I'll give my vote to Jayne. If instead of Buffy it was Jayne vs Giles, I'd probably vote for Giles. He was my favourite character for some reason.
Capt. Jack Harkness, Torchwood - gbg vs Moss, The IT Crowd - Cosmic
First vote was pretty easy, the second required some serious thought, and this one is harder yet. I didn't like Torchwood at the start, but the second season was significantly better. And then most of season 3 was really good (didn't like the end though). Unfortunately season 4 was horrible. But Jack's still a good character. The IT Crowd is one of my favourite comedy shows. Me and my friends are constantly referencing it, and while its last season was also a bit shoddy, overall it was a great show.
Elliot Alderson, Mr Robot - Camo vs Sue Sylvester, Glee - tat
I've only seen 2 episodes of Mr Robot and 0 of Glee.
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri, The Sopranos vs Arya Stark, Game of Thrones - tat
Paulie wasn't a character I particularly cared for in the episodes of The Sopranos I saw, but I don't really like Arya. Sometimes I do, but most of the time I don't. I didn't care much for Jon either, but he kinda grew on me towards the end. Arya never really did.
Round 1, Set 5
Don Draper - Mad Men - Camo vs Blaine DeBeers - iZombie - Cosmic
I watched most seasons of Mad Men when it was on the telly but i never really liked it.Not only Don but i didnt think any of the characters were likeable.
Jayne Cobb - Firefly - Cosmic vs Buffy Summers-Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Topsy
Obviously my nom,and In my opinion already the winner of the whole tournament :lol:
Capt. Jack Harkness - Torchwood - gbg vs Moss - The IT Crowd - Cosmic

Elliot Alderson Mr Robot - Camo vs Sue Sylvester from Glee - tat
I watched glee aswell when it was on tv,not my kind of show but Sue was definitly the best thing about the show-
but not as good as elliot :)
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri - The Sopranos vs Arya Stark from Game of Thrones - tat
I watch GoT but i think its incredibly overrated-Arya just started having a somewhat interesting storyline at last but i think shes incredibly annoying.sorry

I watched the first five episodes of "The IT Crowd", and I can see why some people might find the show funny, but having worked computer tech support, I can see all the things that are wrong with the show. :shrug:
It's an actually watchable version of The Big Bang Theory IMO.
Going to watch a few eps of Torchwood tomorrow to vote since it's a tie. Not expecting much because i really don't like Doctor Who.

I love "The Big Bang Theory", and they're very different shows.
I know Captain Jack Harkness started on "Doctor Who", but I've never seen him in "Doctor Who". I started watching "Torchwood" because I love John Barrowman. You don't need to watch "Doctor Who" to watch "Torchwood".
Yeah, i know. I have a friend who is a fan of one and not the other. I was just saying because they must be similar in some ways since it's a spinoff. Will keep an open mind anyway :)
Watched the first two eps of Torchwood, i'll watch one more before voting but i can already tell i'll be voting against it. Really don't like it at all and i hate John Barrowman; forgot it was him for some reason.
I don't love The IT Crowd either but as i said i think it is a show that's similar too Big Bang Theory but actuallly watchable and i love Richard Ayoade, Moss is definitely the best in the show. So yeah will watch the third ep and vote tomorrow.

Shame you most likely won't be giving it anymore views after voting. Season 3 changes gears a bit and produces not only the best season of Torchwood but really catapulted the show to being one of the greats TV has to offer.
Decided to watch the third ep because i wasn't doing anything else and yeah...

(Only watched the first season of DH, Bree was my favourite character when i did. Not a fan of Home Improvement. Also sorry that two of yours went up against each other.)

Stringer Bell, The Wire - Camo vs Gob Bluth, Arrested Development - Cosmic
I didn't see many episodes of The Wire, but Idris Elba is great in pretty much everything, and I liked him well enough in this. I meant to watch more, but never got around to it (this happens a lot). I'd probably vote for him if he was up against a number of other Arrested Development characters, but not Gob (or Lucille).
Dale Cooper, Twin Peaks - Camo vs Cersei Lannister, Game of Thrones - Topsy
I like Cersei (sometimes, other times it's a love to hate sort of situation), but nowhere near as much as Cooper.
Tim Taylor, Home Improvement - Gideon vs Bree Van De Kamp Hodge, Desperate Housewives - Gideon
I have not seen any Desperate Housewives.
Jesse Pinkman, Breaking Bad - Cricket vs Roger, American Dad - SC
I saw at least the first season of American Dad, maybe a little bit more than that. I really liked Roger. He was my favourite character. Well, him and the fish. But he's mismatched here against Jesse, because I really liked him, sometimes even more than Walter White.
Ben Linus, Lost - Derek vs Barney Stinson, How I Met your mother - tat
I have not seen any episodes of How I Met Your Mother.
I do think Stringer is a better character than G.O.B but i love them about the same.

Your avatar wasn't always animated, was it? I'm only now noticing haha. On a semi-related note, I wish Idris Elba was in more things. Maybe I should go back and finish watching Luther. I only saw a couple episodes of that as well.
Unlike in the TV Tournament, I haven't watched any of the shows I hadn't previously seen for this...yet. There were just too many to try and watch for the first round, but I do plan to try and watch them for the match-ups in the second round (and beyond).
Your avatar wasn't always animated, was it?
No, SC made it.
Don't think there's going to be any more votes so i'll close this set. There's three ties but rather than wait for someone to break them i'll just put all 6 character through to the next round and include a few three character matches. Will get the first set of round 2 up soon.

Captain Holt, Brooklyn Nine-Nine - Cosmic vs Rick, Rick and Morty - tat
As I said in the TV Tournament, my room mates love Rick and Morty but I just couldn't get into it. I did like Scary Terry, but that was only part of one episode, and might just be because my room mate is always quoting him. Holt on the other hand is my favourite character in Nine-Nine.
Ms. Swan, MADtv. - SC vs Blaine DeBeers, iZombie
I know I've seen parts of MADtv, but I don't think it's enough to vote. I'll try and watch some before the week is out.
Moss, The IT Crowd - Cosmic vs Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli, Happy Days - gbg
I may have voted for the Fonz in his previous match-up, but I love Moss (and Richard Ayoade in general) so I'm not going to be voting for him here.
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri - The Sopranos vs Chandler Bing, Friends - Topsy
I liked what little of Paulie I saw in The Sopranos, but Chandler is my favourite Friends character.
The Trickster/Gabriel - Supernatural - Derek vs Cersei Lannister, Game of Thrones - Topsy
This one required some thought. I did like Gabriel, but he's only in a few episodes, whereas we see a lot of Cersei in GoT.
Elliot Alderson, Mr Robot - Camo vs Niles Crane, Frasier - gbg
I still haven't watched the third episode of Mr. Robot. I'm sure I'll get around to it in the next few days though. I've been meaning to watch more, I just keep forgetting/putting it off.
Bree Van De Kamp Hodge, Desperate Housewives - Gideon vs Sophie Ann, True Blood - Topsy
Haven't seen either of these shows.
Rumpelstiltskin / Mr. Gold, Once Upon A Time - gbg vs Vic Mackey, The Shield - Cricket
Love Vic, but I haven't seen Once Upon A Time.
Tony Soprano, The Sopranos - TONGO vs Carol, The Walking Dead - tat
I didn't really like what I saw of Carol. I hear she gets better in later episodes, but unless my mom forces me to watch more when I go home for Christmas (she loves that show), I likely will never see that.
Eric Cartman, South Park - Derek vs Ritchie Aprile, The Sopranos - TONGO vs Stringer Bell, The Wire - Camo
I haven't seen far enough into the Sopranos to know that character. Hopefully Stringer Bell goes through, I'd definitely vote for him over Cartman.

I still haven't quite finished the first season of The Sopranos. Maybe I'll get there before this tournament is over haha.
I've had mixed feelings about Mr Robot, which is why it's taken me so long to get around to watching episode 3 (it was a few months ago when I watched the first two - I might actually need to rewatch them). There were interesting elements, but I felt like it was moving a bit too slow, and I still hadn't decided whether or not I liked the main character. I was going to give it until episode 5 to hook me, but I sort of forgot about it and thus haven't watched it.
Mr Robot is my favourite currently airing show. I'd understand someone not liking it at all though, it is deliberately vague and misleading alot of the time which i can understand as off-putting, and there's definitely some parts (the vast minority of them though in my opinion) that are weird just to be weird without any meaning behind them or connection to the story which is why i understand some people dropping it after the first 2 or 3 episodes. Glad you are giving it five, if you don't feel like continuing after that then that's understandable; you gave it a good amount of time to hook you and if it doesn't by then it isn't for you. Hope you do so i can get one step closer to making the Mr Robot thread i nearly have about five times but didn't because i felt there wasn't enough interest here :laugh:
Got to say though i don't know why Elliot would be actually dislikable. I'd understand if you personally think he is not a good/well written character but i don't understand you actually disliking him as a person. Don't want to go into that more because i'm not sure exactly what you've seen of him up to this point because i've not rewatched Season 1 in a while and i don't want to potentially ruin anything.
Edit: And i'm surprised you found it too slow. Rectify is what i think of as a slow show, Mr Robot is actually really quick moving in my opinion. In tone at least, the story is purposely pretty generic because it is more of a character study if that's what you mean. Don't think i've ever been that surprised by any plot developments (with one big exception), it's mostly been how they've got there and how certain characters particularly Elliot has reacted.
I'll stop now could talk about this show constantly mostly because none of my friends will watch it, haha.

I usually give shows a good chance to impress me, especially when I've heard so many people praising it. There are plenty of shows I love that had rocky starts (Parks & Rec, Farscape, Spartacus), so I don't expect every show to grab me immediately in say, the way Hannibal did.
In the first few episodes of Mr Robot, Elliot isn't really much of a character in my opinion. It's not that I thought he might be unlikeable, but rather just...kinda of boring. He has this subdued nature which I like, but I wasn't sure if he was interesting enough to really get behind. I could see some potential there though, which is why I want to watch more to see where it goes. It's just been on a very long list of things I've been meaning to do haha.
I'll respond to that in a minute Cosmic. Just wanted to let you know i edited my post after you started responding (i know this because you had repped me when i posted it), it was just adding something i forgot to say, Just saying in case you wanted to respond to it if i misread what you said or whatever.

Yeah, I just saw that and sent a post comment mentioning that I don't recall exactly why I thought it was slow. Like I said, it's been a few months since I watched those episodes.

Got to admit the way these tournaments are i get a bit annoyed, not actually annoyed but disappointed when someone who has only watched a small amount of a character/show to be able to vote (usually because it's up against one of their noms) doesn't give it more of a chance particularly because of the bad beginnings that you mentioned. I'm 100% guilty of this myself and probably more than most since i've tried to vote as much as possible since i'm the host, you bringing up Spartacus reminded me of that because i only watched the amount of episodes i needed to to vote and you said that it gets better. Nobody actually told me that about Parks and Rec: i watched the first four episodes thought it was meh then didn't give it another chance for about a year because i was baffled at the praise it was getting and had to know what people were talking about, obviously it ends up great in Season 2. It's a problem with shows, sometimes they take a while to find their feet but because they aren't a one viewing thing like movies, most people will dismiss them early on.

I don't really know if i can respond to this properly without ruining things but i get where you are coming from. Personally i never found him boring but i do understand that. Anyway, i'll just let you get back to it whenever you decide to and decide for yourself without me trying to influence you or potentially spoil anything for you. As i said i thought you were saying you thought he was hatable as in by his actions, if you find him boring then fair enough i get that even though i don't agree.
Yeah, I just saw that and sent a post comment mentioning that I don't recall exactly why I thought it was slow. Like I said, it's been a few months since I watched those episodes.
To answer that post comment here then do you remember what happened in the last episode you watched? Sorry i don't know it well enough yet to know each episode. There's an early episode that feels like filler until you realize in Season 2 that it wasn't at all, that's kind of a regular thing that when you think something is really pointless it might have some meaning later on.
That's something i love about it, so many shows have a habit of ignoring their plotholes or pointless storylines but this show has a habit of calling back to them much later with an explanation. It's pretty cheesy but Elliot while narrating often says something along the lines of "are you paying attention to me?", which i think is a hint that what he says isn't random pretentious nonsense but stuff that will be relevant later. It plays with the whole Lost puzzle concept, except the writers have properly thought it out so they don't end up in the holes the Lost writers did: they admitted they were making it up as they went along. And you also have to remember that we as the viewer are Eliotts subconscious, he is always entirely truthful to us at least as far as he's aware because he thinks he's talking to himself. This isn't a spoiler or a 'most characters who narate are doing this' thing, it's a specific thing introduced from the start that i don't think most people pick up on. Mostly because you are used to the narrator in movies or tv shows not being the character you are watching or being a future version of themselves talking about their past.

If someone hasn't seen the first 2 episodes of Mr Robot, do not read the following.
To answer that post comment here then do you remember what happened in the last episode you watched?
It started off in the Evil Corp headquarters where Elliot turns down a job offer. Something happens to his drug dealer, and Elliot confronts the dude (other client? supplier? I don't remember) about it. The F Society want him to blow up some building. He falls onto the beach at the end of the episode.

haha of course not. I'm not even sure how i'd do that exactly. All of the characters were put into a randomizer and i just made the matches as they ended up listed. Three of those matches killed me because they were between favourites of mine.

Thinking about the show has made me want to watch a few more episodes. I have last night's Westworld to watch first (unfortunately the morning show that was on during my lunch break spoiled the big twist :mad:) and probably some other things I don't remember right now, but if I don't get to it today, it'll be sometime this week at least.
Great :up:. As i said earlier you should give it another three episodes since you did say that you liked certain things about it, that will be half of season 1 and if it isn't working for you by that point i doubt it ever will. Either way i'll be interested in your thoughts.
Man i really need to get back to Westworld myself. I watched the first three episodes and was really enjoying it but i just haven't been watching any shows over the past few months except a few episodes hear and there so i can vote in matches for this tournament.

Ms. Swan, MADtv. - SC vs Blaine DeBeers, iZombie
I did remember Ms. Swan from what little I had seen of MADtv years ago (and remember her being occasionally funny), but watching it now it's hard not to see the racist stereotypes at play. Also, I found her to be far more annoying than she was amusing. I might vote for her over some other MADtv recurring characters, but definitely not over Blaine, who is easily my favourite character on iZombie.

This is a tough decision. I could basically flip a coin and be happy with the outcome. Since I'm kinda into Mr Robot at the moment though, I'm going to throw a vote Elliot's way (even if I still find him a little less interesting than some of the other characters).
No update on the remaining 3 matches.
Oh Dang, perfect bump. I hadn't realized it had been a week nearly and you broke two ties. I'm just going to allow Cartman to go through since he is tying with my character and i love them both. Will get the next one up in a minute.
