Stole this from Kate

Nothing really much to report today, so...

List 10 shows and let your friends guess who your favorite character is in each. When someone gets one right, cross it off the list and explain why you love that character!

EDIT: I'm just going to go ahead and post the answers, since nobody else has any guesses.

1) Everwood - Ephram Brown
2) Desperate Housewives
Bree Van De Camp, as guessed by [livejournal.com profile] samuraiter. You know, I wasn't really expecting to like her character that much even though I was a big fan of the actress from her guest role on Everwood. A conservative, Republican, Martha Stewart-clone perfectionist? Not exactly the type of character I normally like, but Marcia Cross does an amazing job playing her. Plus, hands down, she gets all the best lines. I will never forget her "George, do you have an erection?!" line when they went miniature golfing. That was just priceless. Absolutely priceless.
3) Grey's Anatomy
George O'Malley, as guessed by [livejournal.com profile] dark_branwen. I tend to like underdogs, and George definitely qualifies.
4) Charmed - Prue Halliwell (Phoebe, if going by characters still on the show)
5) 7th Heaven - Matt Camden
6) Gilmore Girls - Lorelai Gilmore
7) Smallville - Chloe Sullivan
8) Numb3rs
Charlie Eppes, as guessed by [livejournal.com profile] amazonqueenkate. (As if that was so hard to guess. *laughs*) Smart and adorable? Always a winning combination. Not to mention David Krumholtz... *drools*
9) Friends
Chandler Bing, as guessed by [livejournal.com profile] samuraiter. Gotta love guys with a sense of humor.
10) Sex and the City
Miranda Hobbes, as guessed by [livejournal.com profile] dark_branwen. As I mentioned in my reply to Samuraiter, I've only recently started watching the show, but Miranda quickly became my favorite for her cynical views on love and romance.

2.) I agree that Marcia Cross was more deserving of the Emmy. Nothing against Felicity Huffman (who is married to William H. Macy, one of my favorite actors), but her character, no matter how much she does for the image of the stressed-out mom, lacks the subtlety and intricacy that make Bree so interesting. I mean, I thought Bree was going to be a villain at the start of the show, but she wound up being more sympathetic than the rest of the cast.

6.) She portrayed a hooker. Oddly enough, she still did not say any dirty words. Heh.

7.) If all else fails, you can like Spike ... er, Brainiac.

9.) That might depend on which Ross you mean. Season 1 Ross is geeky (and charming in that way), but Season 10 Ross ... is a jerk. How about Chandler? Hard to go wrong with Mister Sarcasm.

10.) I say that because Big is the only character I can remember from that show. ... I do know that Kyle MacLachlan was on there, too, but I have trouble picturing him in anything but Twin Peaks.

Exactly.

I don't think he's appeared on Smallville... If he did, it was only as a guest role. He's certainly not a main character.

Yep, I love Chandler. So, so funny.

I actually only started watching "Sex and the City" a couple of weeks ago when they began showing it in syndication on the WB (minus the nudity and bad language), so I've only watched a couple of episodes with Mr. Big so far.
