The final results are in for the Pajiba Favorite Five in the TV category and as you can see, characters in TV proved to be the largest respondent category.
I think it has something to do with really getting to know a character over a period of time, and finding a certain level of comfort with them. One notable stat: A show with 726 total episodes had slightly less favorite characters than a show with 14 episodes.
For those of you who weren’t around for the original Pajiba Favorite Five voting, don’t fret, it will be an annual thing on the Friday right before Memorial Day Weekend each year (Memorial Day is the last Monday in May every year for our international friends, so the Friday before that).
This list was not generated from a question about your favorite shows, directly. We asked about your favorite characters, broke them up by medium and added up the numbers to figure out your favorite shows, movies, comic books, video games and books. It’s imperfect and circuitous, but has proven to be a fun exercise.
In the coming weeks we’re going to do a series of questions which will help us figure out just how accurate this very inaccurate methodology was. The first question will be up for you to respond to in a matter of hours.
Now then, without further ado, here are your 25 favorite shows, based on your votes for favorite character.
