    Moira in Schitt’s Creek is easily my favorite character on this show. Especially she played by, Catherine O’Hara.
  • I love how in the same episode we see Tyrion sitting down to have breakfast with his other niece and nephew and his siblings. And he's joking around with him and they are so happy he's there. As well, you really start to like Arya in the episode too, because she is the only other person to physically raise a hand to Joffrey because like Tyrion, she's smaller than him and you'd assume she's weaker than him. And Arya was protecting someone of a lower station than her, the son of a butcher, who she had deemed her friend, which was very noble. Which would foreshadow her journey to come: she may become a murderer but she always cares about innocent people no matter what their class.
  • @trinaq
    I always admired Samantha's self assuredness, and how proud she was of her beauty. She definitely tended to be a better friend to the other girls than they were to her.
  • @casckettfriki
    I would add Naya Rivera singing Valerie. After that performance we saw how talented she was and also her character started to gain more time and more songs.
  • @trinaq
    "She's our friend, and she's crazy!" Millie amazingly brought Eleven to life at only 11 years old, and her star has continued to rise ever since.
  • @elenaleaton1106
    I love Ron he became one of my favorite characters when I first saw how relatable he is to me.
  • @lydiajoe8955
    Sees Moira from Schitt’s Creek: he’ll yeah!
  • @neilgerace355
    Diana Barry in Anne with an E ... Explained the whole show in the finale and destroyed all of the misunderstandings under which Gilbert and Anne were struggling to get together for three years.
  • I'd forgotten just how funny that wine commercial scene in Schitt's Creek was. Catherine O'Hara was perfect as Moira!
  • @scoobydoo6986
    I would have put Santana Lopez at number one. She was originally going to be just a side character, but Naya Rivera's line delivery for each of her sassy and sarcastic comebacks brought her into the spotlight. It helps that her singing voice is undeniably incredible!
  • @aysada
    Yes, Joffrey is terrible, but Ramsey Bolton was worse
  • Love Raymond Holt. My favorite character from the show along with Gina (and Pimento). Holt was so well written and performed. Love Ron as well as Liz Lemon. 3 of my favorite shows.
  • Nick from New Girl with his angry-fixing and panic-moonwalking. And Winston when he secretly wanted a bathtub. In The Office s. 2, when Michael Scott was over the top eager to give out Dundees because he cared so much about his employees, also later that season when he shows that he's indeed a good salesman and not just a goof, and when he listens to Jim's problems with sincerity. Breaking Bad when you got a peak into Jesses past and family problems. He really gained our sympathy there.
  • I expected that Arrested Development would be on the list, but you're right that it might have been a number of characters. I'd say the same about Parks & Rec, too.
  • Moira is a great character but nobody on Schitts Creek can beat David.
  • The details on this show are so funny, like how Tobias has a blank spot on his back because he can’t reach to put on the blue paint and no one will help him…
