10 Egocentric TV Characters

Everyone likes a good TV show that will kill some time before bed. These shows will either make you think or melt away the worries of the day with laughter before you close your eyes at night. We take the time every night to wind down before waking up to face the next day of work or dealing with the kids. A favorite TV is like therapy for our own lives. We can relate to the characters or know someone who reminds of them. There are those characters that you just love to hate or you can’t just get enough of and generally those characters are the ones with the egos.

1. Dr. Gregory House

    Gregory House FTW!!! wooot!!!

  • John

    Are you kidding me?!?!?! You put House on there instead of Dr. Cox?

    And Two and a Half Men is just terrible in every aspect of the word.

    Awful list.

    Of course any web site that exists solely to make lists is bound to be terrible at it, what the hell is the point of a website that only makes lists? Do people actually get paid for this useless shit?

    Seriously, if you’re going to make a list at least make one that is in some way interesting and not just something a “witty” blogger could’ve come up with.

    At least there isn’t a film section or my head might explode.

    Rant over.

    No Denny Crane from Boston Legal? Maybe not that well known of a show, but probably the most blatantly egocentric TV character. Played by William Shatner.

    How about some Non American ones??

    You’re an idiot. How is liking the single life and women egotistical. Quite the opposite, Charlie Harper’s brother is egotistical because he’s always insecure, married any-old-ho out of insecurity, was divorced out of insecurity, and is a major incomprehensible wimp with whom you can’t have a conversation let alone a relationship of any kind. Why? Because he’s not paying attention to you, he’s wrapped up in worries concerning himself. That’s true egotism. Nobody is paying attention to him as much as he thinks.

    This isn’t to say Charlie isn’t without flaws. But while he can be amusing, his brother is the stuff Hitler was made of, if you just push him a little more and get the imaginary world he lives in inside his head into a funk.

    And who says you need to marry. Christ, what kind of fascist are you. Maybe we should live in a state of mediocrity just like you, because it would make you feel better. Go back to your hideous, smarmy, bitch of a wife, you needy dick.

      First and foremost, learn to read the authors name. SHE never said anything about anyone ever having to be married. You read way to much into it. SHE was simply stating that he has an ego, and he does. Charlie thinks that he can have any woman out there and his over confident ways prove that he can. That is why SHE chose him to be the egotisitical character of that show.

    I guess only white male characters on TV are egotistical? Where are the egotistical women? There are plenty! Start with Designing Women, Melrose Place & Golden Girls and then move into the 2000s with Gossip Girl.

    Stacy Keach on Titus – Ken Titus
    Kurtwood Smith on That 70′s Show – Red Forman
    Simon Cowell on American Idol
    Glenn Close on Damages – Patty Hewes
    John McGinley on Scrubs – Dr. Cox
    Christa Miller on Scrubs – Jordan Sullivan
    Denis Leary on Rescue Me – Tommy Gavin
    John Di Maggio on Futurama – Bender (cartoon)
    Kathy Kinney on the Drew Carey Show – Mimi

    I know you’ll say some of them are just really mean. Well it takes an ego to be an asshole.
