In preparation for the upcoming Best Male Sitcom Character polls, I need to pare down the number of nominees in order to fit the 50-option restriction for polling.
All of the characters who have received just a single vote are already gone; these are the nominees who have each received two votes. Several these have to be eliminated before we continue.
So, vote below for your favorites within this list. No restrictions, select as many as you like, go to town.
I trust that the decision that will be made will be fair. I could argue that a couple of mine should get a pass to the next round but even so, they probably will lose the first round (how many people watch Corner Gas?).
Very well-known and popular in its native Canada, AIUI, but its visibility and popularity have been pretty variable in the U.S.
It was carried for a while on a second-tier U.S. cable channel (WGN America), and I’ve sometimes seen it on PBS stations; it doesn’t look like it was ever broadcast here on a major TV network. I don’t think that it ever got beyond a niche audience here, and probably on par with other Canadian shows like Red Green.
