A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

WE DON'T NEED ANY CHARACTERS AROUND TO GIVE THE JOINT MORE ATMOSPHERE: Bravo takes a page out of the VH1 playbook with an upcoming five-night countdown of the Top 100 TV Characters of All Time. I can't find the list online anywhere (the link, to a USA Today article reveals some of the picks), but no doubt closer to the Nov. 22 air date it will pop up. The top 10 is under wraps, but here, off the top of my head, is my biased suggestion:

1. George Costanza
2. Homer Simpson
3. Ted Baxter
4. Marcia Brady
5. Archie Bunker
6. Barney Fife
7. The Fonz
8. Larry Sanders
9. Fox Mulder
10. B.A. Baracus (I used to edit A-Team episodes into best of Mr. T highlight tapes in the pre-driver's license/girlfriend days).

Of course, you, gentle reader, can come up with a better list, and for that we have the comments section.
