Update on that Fave Character Meme

[dlgood]

Update with correct guesses from my favorite character meme.

1) Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Buffy Summers- Maybe it's because she reminds me of both of my sisters (in different ways)... I have tremendous respect for people who work hard, who give up what they want and take on responsibility, and who do so out of love rather than because it's just what they're told to do. Someone who is MJ-level talented, but who is far more forgiving and far less judgemental than could be possibly expected given her experiences.

2) Married with Children
3) Sanford & Son
Fred Sanford - As much as I like that guy who shows up only to say "Yeeeesssss!" Fred is one of my favorite characters ever. He's petty, he tells ridiculous lies, and he constantly calls his dutiful son a "Big Dummy". And yet, Fred just amuses me. I have a soft spot for cranky old guys.

4) That 70’s Show
Reginald "Red" Foreman - My dad's parenting style is sort of 50/50 Red Foreman/Sandy Cohen, a strange combo. Red is not the most emotionally open of fathers. He's a perpetual grouch. But when he calls his son a dumbass, he does it with love. And as a kid, I constantly was asking, with my actions, for my dad to call me a dumbass. (Actually, dad called me "Jerko" when I did stupid things.)

5) Night Court
6) Fraser
7) Gilmore Girls
8) Transformers
9) The Tick (The Animated Series)
The Tick - Tick is awesome. He has a compliment of superpowers, a sense of justice, and the combined enthusiasm, innocence, and common sense of a five year old. The Tick's episode ending homilies are not to be missed.
10) Scrubs
Dr. Perry Cox - another crusty father/mentor figure. What can I say - I get along well with my dad. And Dr. Cox is screwed up in a funny way

Also, because Red Foxx, Kurtwood Smith and John C. McGinley are awesome.

#6 and #7 both correct.

I'm a fan of curmudgeons. Frasier is such a blowhard, and John Mahoney is great for the part. I actually don't watch Gilmore Girls too much.. but again, I tend to like people who put up with way too much, gripe about stuff, but mostly keep going and trying to do "right".

This one's for you, Dave:

"So the mustache was in love. Oh, that's cool. Love is cool. That mustache was cool. But it didn't make me cool. It made Sewer Urchin swing ten miles by his upper lip."

"Twelve and a half, yeah..."

"And look at Jim Rage. He should've been cool! He had a cool eyepatch, cool R.V., cool gadgets, and he traveled the world with three exciting, talented, vivacious beauticians! That's cool -- but he wasn't cool.

"You know, Arthur, I may have lost my mustache, but I've gained... uh... heh heh... I haven't gained a thing."

You know - it's always amusing the way Dave Boreanaz interview quotes start to sound like "Tick" dialogue.

Dude, you're right. He does kind of come off like that. Especially with the season four and five DB interview quotes that Strega used at TWoP. Those were insane.

Anyway... I have the first three seasons of the Tick animated series on my computer. So I typed that one up for you from the episode.

That stuff is golden...

Tick: You know, Arthur, when evil is afoot, and you don't have any arms, you've gotta use your head. And when evil is ahead and you're behind, you've gotta do the legwork. But when you can't get a leg up, you gotta be hip. You gotta keep your chin up, and kick some-...
Arthur: Tick, we get the idea.
