I voted for Cartman, but I love them both. Whoever wins could be a sleeper pick to go deep. Poor Rust Cohle and Jack Bauer never stood a chance  ;D

Tough break for Junior Sorano, coming up against Don Draper

I'm nitpicking a bit, but I think the format of the survey commits people who don't have an opinion about a particular matchup to vote for a character anyway, because you need to vote for every matchup to submit the survey.

You don't have to vote on every match up, it says this in my opening post (in bold no less) and on top of the survey when you take it :P

The only question you're required to complete is your RAWK username.

Rust Cohle vs Al Swearengen is the match-up with least votes currently, 6 people skipped this.

Possibly - it's depressing when you read people moaning about the BBC/TV in general and saying there's nothing decent on and realise they either don't watch, or don't get, amazing television like the Thick of It.

It will be interesting to see how this pans out - from the Cartman/Tucker result I don't think I'll be agreeing with RAWK's 'Greatest TV Character of All Time'.

I honestly don't think there's anything wrong with Cartman beating Tucker, it's not like Cartman is a character from Big Bang Theory. He's a genius creation from great comics who had their inspirations from Python and other British comedies.

I actually think the problem is US shows have a lot more episodes than British shows do, even if you've seen both you're saturated by the volume and it can stay with you for longer.
