Controversial opinion of my own... Denny Crane is the greatest TV character ever. Change my mind.
So... I came in at the mocking of Tim, which isn't all that unusual (that didn't come out right), so I thought I'd scroll back. Okay, making fun of Tim for not knowing something pop culture. Still not that unusual (still not coming out right). But then I scroll back to this horse hockey.
Chad, did someone tamper with your beer?
In a genre that has Leroy Jethro Gibbs (my personal favorite), "Sudden" Sam Malone, Major Frank Burns, Archie Bunker, Raymond "Red" Reddington, Don Draper, George Costanza, Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli, Tony Soprano, Tyrion Lanister, Walter White, Jack Bauer, Thomas Magnum, you're going with Denny Crane?
He's not even the best LAWYER character. Not with Jack McCoy, Saul Goodman, Barry Zuckerkorn, and Richard Fish on the docket (so to speak).
He's not even the best SHATNER character, though that's not saying much (not a Shatner fan, sorry, though James Tiberius Kirk was the man.)
