who have the best characters in TV shows?

i used to like how i met your mother but some of the scenes just seemed a little fake but i guess thats just a small pet peeve. barney is definitely a character though.
movies and shit are pretty intense though, but what are some good, comedy tv shows that are autentic and funny to watch? can be cartoons, etc.

True Blood has some of my favorite characters on TV, but it's been circling the drain in recent seasons.

dude, all I watch are comedy shows, so I think I can be a big help here.
Some of the best characters every conceived are in King of the hill and 30 rock.
30 rock took me a while to understand, but once you pick up on the characters, it's one of the best written, wittiest, funniest shows out there.
The office is an obvious one (to me at least) but a show similar to it, and equally as good IMO, is called Parks and Recreation. The 1st season might be a tiny bit boring the first time through, but it is sooo worth it. Hilarious show.
American dad is a good one, but a little over the top sometimes (thats also what gives it its charm tho )
Arrested development is also an amazing show. Another one that might take a bit to understand fully, but WELL worth it. some people bitch about the 4th season not being as good, but I say fuck that. It was still hilarious

cool i'll definitely check some of those out. i feel like when you're sober and you watch them its like oh hahaha hehehe whatever. but once you're on drugs your brain energy goes to so many different aspects of their personality and like character that you just ignore the plot and go into the situation instead.
feels weird man.

All the characters in Sunny are horrible, horrible people. It's amusing though. 
Trailer Park Boys' characters are really surprising in how endearing they are.

No better place to start than the first season. The characters are way more extreme in that season, and they evolve into who they are from there. It's great

  Nuff said, these characters are 2 of my heros /thread
EDIT: alright maybe not /thread, I went back and read rBalzer's post and I have to agree that King of the Hill, The Office, and Arrested Development all have awesome characters.

And the sitcomy bullshit is really overpowering in it. It kinda ruins it for me sometimes how many bad jokes they try to make.

he is an amazing character, don't get me wrong. The leonard, penny, and sheldon dynamic works well for me.
I think it's mainly raj, and to a lesser extent, howard, that ruin it for me.

I love House as well, especially the earlier seasons, I've watched the whole series like 5 times.
But it's not really a comedy, even though a lot of it is humorous, it's a drama.

I've heard of Green Wing but thought it was an ER drama. I'll have to check it out soon.
I thought the characters in Lie to Me were good (at least for what the show was). I'm a Tim Roth fan so I may be biased.
