Homer tops survey of best film, TV characters
http://www.cbc.ca/arts/tv/story/2010/06/01/homer-survey.html
Homer Simpson, the hapless, doughnut-loving patriarch of the animated
series The Simpsons, has been named the greatest TV and film character
of the past 20 years.
"People can relate to Homer because we're all secretly propelled by
desires we can't admit to," creator Matt Groening told Entertainment
Weekly, which created the survey.
"Homer is launching himself head-first into every single impulsive
thought that occurs to him … His love of whatever ... is a joy to
witness."
Homer beat out the likes of teen wizard Harry Potter and Buffy the
Vampire Slayer, portrayed by Sarah Michelle Gellar, who came in third.
The Simpsons, now in its 21st season, is the longest-running American
prime-time TV series.
The highly acclaimed series, seen in more than 90 countries, has also
garnered 24 Emmy Awards, 23 Annie Awards, four Genesis Awards and a
Peabody Award.
Others rounding up the Top 10 include:
* Tony Soprano.
* Batman villain The Joker.
* Jennifer Aniston's Friends character Rachel Green.
* Johnny Depp's Edward Scissorhands.
* Hannibal Lecter.
* Carrie Bradshaw.
* Spongebob Squarepants.
