Who are your 10 favorite male TV sitcom characters of all time?

Dr. Harry Vanderspiegle - Resident Alien

Ash Williams - Ash vs. Evil Dead

Jay Pritchett - Modern Family

Paperboi - Atlanta

Ted Lasso - Ted Lasso

Jack Doneghy - 30 Rock

I had six… I’ll come up with four more later.

Archie Bunker - All in the Family

Mike Stivik - All in the Family

Bill McNeal - Newsradio (making two actors who were killed by family members)

Brent Leroy - Corner Gas

Balki Bartokomous - Perfect Strangers

Niles Crane - Frasier

Is this going to be the same methodology as for the female sitcom characters? i.e. like a tournament instead of an election?

Are these sitcoms? Asking because I don’t know.

mmm

Yes, a March Madness-style series of brackets.
