A lot of these people are on shows I didn't watch, so I figured that if the character is so good that you know who they are without even watching, that's a great character.

Well let's face it, TV is better now than it's ever been. Shows like the ones listed here are much better than the shows in the 60s, 70s and 80s IMO. It's the golden age of TV.
But for the sake of your argument, I'll throw in Gopher from The Love Boat.

If you're talking about traditional network productions, I couldn't disagree with you more. There's a few exceptions, but most of the stuff I see nowadays is either cliche or resorts to shock humor. It's a generational thing, I suppose.
We do these about once a year, but I'll play along:
In no particular order:
Jim Rockford
Maggie O'Connell
Tyrion
Dr. Johnny Fever
George Costanza
Ask me next year, and there'll be 4 different ones. Jim Rockford is all time.
Personal Top 10
1. The Doctor
2. Buffy Summers
3. Castiel
4. Dean Winchester
5. Sawyer
6. Mr. Feeny
7. MacGyver
8. Desmond Hume
9. Shawn Spencer
10. Claudia Donovan

Well I'm 46 so I'm not sure if it's generational or not.

I have to agree with Jim Rockford. He was a favorite of my dad, as well. The writers and James Garner did a fantastic job of balancing hard nose and humility. While not a push over, Rockford got it handed to him once in a while. And who can forget the theme music?

As the fog of Alzheimer's settled over my dad, one thing he enjoyed was watching Rockford Files episodes on Netflix. There was something familiar and comforting about the show that always calmed him.
