My personal choice for this poll was Archie Bunker. While offensive and a bigot, the character was so different from Carroll O Connor in real life. I loved "Dallas" and how Hagman played JR Ewing, and thought the Alex Keaton character was a genius play by Michael J Fox. I also loved all three shows, so this was a tough choice for me, but considering all the options, and circumstances involved, I chose Archie because of not only how O Connor played him, but also that he was a revelutionary character in TV history, in spite of his character flaws.
