I haven’t seen one done yet so i’m gonna post a few shows first and then match the alignments i think fit best to the characters. Feel free to do the same with shows you know or discuss my choices if you want!

Okay:  
This one not many may know 1 billion points to those who do  
The Elephant Princess:  
Alex Wilson: NG  
Kuru:LG  
Amanda: NG  
JB:NG  
Taylor:NG  
Marcus:TN  
Caleb:CN  
Zamira:CN  
Vashon:LE  
Diva:NE  
Not sure about the others.

The Big Bang Theory:

Leonard:NG

Sheldon:NE? A case could be made for TN but for some reason when i see him this alignment comes to mind.

Howard:TN perhaps CN early on.

Raj:NG

Penny:TN with a slant towards good

Amy:CG, to me amy screams this.

Bernadette:LG maybe NG

Kripke:TN doesn’t seem really good, evil or anything else. He’s just there to sometimes be a foe or friend to the main characters.  
Friends:

Ross:LN with LG tendencies

Chandler:CN early on but became LN later on

Monica:Same as Ross accept reversed.

Rachel:NG

Phoebe:CG

Joey:TN

No, I haven’t. I’m not into role-playing games, so I was ignorant of the concept. Now I know. Thank you.

Actually, I was kind of tweaking the OP about going over quite well-travelled ground. But you’re welcome 😉
