TV Gal Gives Character Recommendations
By Amy Amatangelo
 LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - - Sometimes great writing fuses with a brilliant performance to form a perfect television character. The character pops off the screen and commands our attention. And perhaps you've noticed I can't stop prattling on about them
You know the rules by now. All characters on my list are from a network television shows in at least their second season. This season has offered up some terrific characters (I'm convinced that Barney on "How I Met Your Mother" is going to be, wait for it ... legendary), but great characters evolve over time. We'll see you next year, Randy Hickey. I also stuck to the rule of only one character per show (if I didn't, the castaways on "Lost" would make up half the list).
To make room for some NKOTT (new kids on the TV), I've entered John C. McGinley, the fabulous Dr. Cox on "Scrubs" (I can't wait until the show returns in January) and Kelly Bishop's remarkable Emily Gilmore on "Gilmore Girls" (ever doubt that Bishop is phenomenal? Re-watch her recent scene on the airplane) into the TV Gal Hall of Fame. They join last year's inductee, Dennis Franz's Andy Sipowicz.
Here, in no particular order, are my Top 10 characters for 2005:
Jim on "The Office"
Bright on "Everwood"
Lynette on "Desperate Housewives"
Logan on "Veronica Mars"
GOB on "Arrested Development"
Dr. Miranda Bailey on "Grey's Anatomy"
Jin on "Lost": Trying to pick my favorite "Lost" character is a little bit of an exercise in futility. It changes from week to week. But Daniel Dae Kim has done something never before done is a network TV series -- he's gone a season and a half speaking very little English. He conveys in facial expressions what many actors cannot with pages of dialogue. On an island full intriguing characters, Jin remains the most fascinating.
Tony on "24"
Donna on "The West Wing"
Dr. House on "House"
