Greatest TV Characters of All-time

[Goondal]

I was inspired by the movie characters thread. I find it hard to put current characters into the all-time list until their run is complete so I have two lists:

All-Time:

Albert 'Albie' Grant (Big Love)

Al Swearengen (Deadwood)

Anthony 'Tony' Soprano (The Sopranos)

Current:

Arya Stark (Game of Thrones)

Mickey Milkovich (Shameless)

Nelson Van Alden (Boardwalk Empire)

Jim Moriarty (Sherlock)

Kevin Arnold (The Wonder Years)

Junior Soprano (The Sopranos)

After looking over my lists and considering those that just missed (Omar Little, Arnold Rothstein, etc.) I am beginning to think that I have an HBO problem.

[Goondal]

Kevin Ball (Steve Howey) and Veronica Fisher (Shanola Hampton)- Shameless

I love them. I could honestly put six or seven characters from that show on the list, possibly the most underrated show ever, more people should be watching it.
