Jim and Pam and Michael Scott. Maybe even Dwight.

I just finished the series. I think Jesse drove off the Mexico, at least I hope so.

Not the PP, but I care about what happened after he drove off. Where is he now? Is he happy?

I also find myself thinking so often about Walter White and Skylar. I know he's dead, but that ending gutted me. What's Walter Jr. (sorry, "Quinn") doing now? I miss them.

Omg me too! And I watched that show years ago…I'm sure it was before I had kids, who are teens now. I think it's because in today's shows, they make everyone have some nasty dark side, because they think they will be boring without it. But I don't have a dark side, so I want to relate to a character who isn't a backstabber.

Re Downton Abbey, I wanted to care about Edith but never got over her letter-writing, ratting out Mary about the "affair" with Mr. Pamook. And she's so horrible with what she's done, ripping Marigold from family to family to family.
I love the cook, though. Love her…

Same here. I wish something would happen to pompous old Carson, and Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Patmore could then run the B&B together. I really think Mrs. Hughes would be so much happier.

My list of favorite TV characters of all time includes:

Felicity and Ben

Mark Greene and Abby Lockhart from ER

Elliot from Thirtysomething

Julia, Kirsten, Justin, and Griffin from Party of Five

Pacey from Dawson's Creek

Too many to name from The West Wing, I'll Fly Away, Friday Night Lights, Once & Again, and The Wonder Years. Terrific ensembles.

I love you list!

For me it was Veronica Mars. I remember driving down the road many years after the show ended and thinking "I wonder what Veronica is up to these days" like you would an old friend. I had to remind myself the VM is a TV character and wasn't up to anything because Rob Thomas didn't write anything for her since her show was canceled!! I was so happy when the Kickstart movie and books came out!!

Rayanne Graff.

Rayanne went on to marry royalty and quit acting. She grew up okay.

I know. Fascinating story about AJ Langer but it was our loss. She was wonderful as Rayanne!

Taylor from "American Crime" What that kid had to endure just breaks my heart.

Veronica Mars - yup, love those characters. And Buffy.

We were pretty deeply invested in the characters in Alias and Justified, too.

For me, it's Christina Yang.

A +1 for Party of Five - I just felt so badly for those kids and wanted things to work out for them (though I think I never watched the last year and right now I couldn't tell you what was happening when it ended). Did Julia ever get her act together? Get a college degree? Write?

Sometimes I wish the show's creators (any show, not just party of five) would be required to write a short novel or something that wraps up the storylines.

There was something else that ended recently where I felt this way....can't think of what it was now.

19:42 - oh I remember. IT was State of Affairs, which ended after one 13 episode season. Bad ratings. Starring Katherine Heigl, Alfre Woodard. They mostly wrapped up the central story, but the show ended with Heigl at the terrorist output and you hear the sound of a bomb falling and she looks up at the sky and shades her eyes. Was she killed? who helped her in the last episode (right before the end she's helped by some gunfire in the hills and you see a jeep driving toward her).

If the writers could just TELL me what they had planned I'd appreciate it.
