10. Ethel Mertz
Portrayed by Vivian Vance. In case anyone is wondering, she is from “I Love Lucy”. She is kind of like Lucy’s sidekick on the show. She is pretty much owned by her husband, Fred. I just started watching “I Love Lucy” (Got the complete set on DVD), and so far she is my favorite character. I love her sarcasm when she is telling her husband off. Ricky would be my favorite character, but his singing really, and I mean really, gets on my nerves.
11. Floyd Lawson
Floyd, the nervous, somewhat nosey barber from Mayberry. He would usually start his sentences with “OoOoO…”, and end many of them with “…that’s nice”. There is one episode where he and Andy are talking about Teddy Roosevelt. When the quote “Speak softly, and carry a big stick” is brought up, Floyd says the humorous statement, “OoOoOo, that stick would work awful well in a gang fight. You could just come in, swinging it around.” Floyd’s actor, Howard McNear, had a stroke about halfway through his acting career. In later episodes of “The Andy Griffith Show” he is always seen sitting down, due to the stroke. If he was standing up, he would usually be leaning on something.
12. Pikachu
From the Japanese show Poke’mon, it’s Pikachu! I can’t believe I didn’t think of him earlier; after all the hours spent playing the games, the money spent buying his merchandise, the dent in the couch from watching the show. Pikachu was a big part of my childhood. My friends and I would always play the games at school during recess. Most of us still do play the games, but the show has gotten, well, boring. I have other favorite Poke’mon characters, and you will probably get to meet them on down the list!
13.
Hank Hill
Hank Hill, a true American. He is loyal to his country, his job, and his family. Hank’s only problem is that he can be disturbed by the smallest things. For example, he can’t fish with anything but an American ground-dug worm. One of my favorite episodes is where this women named Judy Harper attempts to ban Halloween. It just so happens that Hank is in charge of the school’s haunted house. Judy begins to start pestering Hank about how celebrating Halloween is sinful, and threatens to sue. Hank himself is a Christian, but he thinks Judy is taking it a little to0 far. Later in the episode Hank says one of his best lines ever “The last time I checked, it wasn’t Judy Harper’s face in the stained glass window at Arlen First Methodist!”
14. Sergeant Carter
The hot-tempered Sergeant Carter from “Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C.”, often seen yelling at Gomer for doing some misdeed. He tends to jump to conclusions without veiwing the situation in whole. He is easily annoyed, which is probably why I like him. He isn’t always angry, in fact, in many episodes he ends up having a heart by the finish. His catch phrase is simply one word “PYLE!!!”, always aimed at dim-witted Gomer.
My next addition to the list will probably include some Movie characters as well, I have so many of them! HOPEFULLY, I will be able to upload some of my artwork soon, if I can get my scanner working!
