TV: Who are your favorite female tv characters?

[hangman005]

A couple from a couple of my favorite shows.

Gail Green and Bonnie Richmond from Jericho

And Madeline Weston and Fiona Glenanne from Burn Notice.

 

[Babe Ruth]

Yeah, wasn't it like a WB Married knockoff or something like that?

Also had Bobcat Goldthwait who was in a relationship with Nikki Cox for a while..

Yeah that was it.. I actually think it was created by a former producer/writer from 'Married'. But it's been a while, I could be remembering wrong.
The family basically had a Muppet living in their basement & they'd go down there & get crass advice etc.
Not a bad show, just kinda lacked the originality & charisma of Married..
WB had some decent comedies from that era.. Wayans Bros, Nick Freno, etc.

Lot's of great mentions already, so add some more

Robin Weigart - Deadwood
Betty White-Golden Girls
Doris Roberts-Eveybody Loves Raymond
Kate Winslet-Mare of Easttown
Olivia Munn-Newsroom
Keisha Knight Pullam-Crosby Show

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Dana Scully is by far my #1.

 

[hoyster]

Off the top of my head:
Nora Durst (The Leftovers)
Arya Stark (Game of Thrones)
Annie Edison (Community)

 

[I am not exposed]

Elaine and Monica are two of the most annoying TV characters of all time. You might as well have included Carrie from Sex and the City!

From this list, I only chose Scully. Pretty terrible list tbh.

 

[93gilmour93]

Elaine was the only one on the list that would make my top 6 picks….

Julia Louis Dreyfus (Elaine) - Seinfeld
Yvonne de Carlo (Lily) -The Munster
Jean Stapleton (Edith) - All in the Family
Roseanne Barr - Roseanne
Vera Farmiga (Norma Bates) - Bates Motel
Marissa Hargitay (Olivia) - Law & Order SVU

If it was a top 10 add all four Golden Girls

 

[Jussi]

Rebecca Welton, Keeley f***ing Jones.

I recently met a person who looks like a mix between tall Gillian anderson and madchen emick

 

[Speyer]

Veronica Mars - Veronica Mars
Brianna Barksdale - The Wire
Felicia Pearson - The Wire
Log Lady - Twin Peaks
Nadine Hurley - Twin Peaks
Shelly Johnson - Twin Peaks
Sarah Palmer - Twin Peaks
Seo Minjung - Unstoppable High Kick
Sarah Walker - Chuck
Claudette Wyms - The Shield
Lisa Simpson (Seasons 1-7) - The Simpsons
Phyllis Vance - The Office

 

[TheAngryHank]

Jill. Charlie angles (cause Farrah)
Tosh ,shetling.
Arya..
Melasandre. The red witch ..GOT.

 

[I am not exposed]

All of these characters would make my list. I liked Tami Taylor but only watched a couple seasons of FNL. Wasn't a fan of Kim Wexler though. I'd probably add Arya Stark especially from the early seasons. Some others I'd add are:
Kima Greggs - The Wire
Jaq - Top Boy
Joannie Stubbs - Deadwood
Dolores Abernathy - Westworld
Maeve - Westworld
Lori Madison - The Deuce
Jillian - Workaholics
April - Parks and Recreation
Roz - Frasier
Lucy - Trailer Park Boys

Probably forgetting a few.

Great answer

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

April Ludgate - Parks and Rec

 

[Primary Assist]

Dee from Always Sunny

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Samantha Carter - Stargate SG1/Atlantis

 

[wej20]

Selina Meyer (Veep)

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Cassie Howard, Euphoria

 

[HanSolo]

Lol none of my 6, off the top of my head, picks are poll options, but I guess one of the actresses is.

Lucielle Bluth/Mallory Archer (they are more or less the same character at a fundamental level)
Selina Meyer
Kim Wexler
Cersei Lannister
Leslie Knope
Olenna Tyrell

 

[JianYang]

Al these suggestions has made me realize that I don't have a favourite female character.

 

[Jussi]

Maddie Hayes (Cybill Sheppard) from Moonlighting

 

[Roo Returns]

Veronica Mars
Star Trek Females: Nyota Uhura/Beverly Crusher/Kira Nerys/Dax (both versions)/B'Lana Torres
Kima Gregs from The Wire
Kerry from Legion
Inara from Firefly
Martha Jones from Doctor Who
Arrowverse: Vixen/Supergirl/Felicity
And from when I was a kid, how could you not love the Kellys from Saved By The Bell and Married..With Children, Jo from Facts of Life, and Chistine from You Can't Do That On Television?

 

[Jussi]

Bo Katan Kryze - Clone Wars, Rebels, The Mandalorian.

 

[Roo Returns]

Maddie Hayes (Cybill Sheppard) from Moonlighting

I generally hate reboots, however if there was one show that is so easy to do one of and could be gold, it's this series.

I think the general audience would be more receptive to it's 4th wall breaks, so yeah, I kind off agree.

 

[Roo Returns]

I think the general audience would be more receptive to it's 4th wall breaks, so yeah, I kind off agree.

There's a zillion ways they could go. The fact that it did break the fourth wall and the producers or audience "called out" the show at the end....that could play into it.

They could make fun of reboots while doing the reboot, they can even literally have Cybil and Bruce as themselves pass the torch or acknowledge a reboot. I know Bruce is not well but they can do something similar to Val Kilmer in Top Gun: Maverick or have him and his family Zoom with the leads.
