Why does everything have to be about TV?

I swear when I started this blog it was not my intention to just write soley about Television but here is another topic related to television.

Entertainment Weekly put out a list of TV characters that they would like to be friends with if they were real. The list goes as follows.
  1. Brian Griffin - Family Guy
  2. Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) - Weeds
  3. Lloyd (Rex Lee) - Entourage
  4. Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) - Gilmore Girls
  5. Felicity Porter (Keri Russell) - Felicity
  6. Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) - 30 Rock
  7. Robin (Cobie Summers) - How I Met Your Mother
  8. Janet Wood (Joyce DeWitt) - Three's Company
  9. Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) - Sex in the City
  10. Jerri Blank (Amy Sedaris) - Strangers With Candy
  11. Lane Kim (Keiko Agena) - Gilmore Girls
  12. Michael Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) - That 70's Show
  13. Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) - Friends
I have taken the liberty of highlighting the "people" on that list that I would NOT be friends with. So as you can see, I may or may not disagree with a lot of their selections. I mean seriously why would you publish a list like this and expect to be taken seriously. Where is Jim Halpert? Turk from Scrubs?? maybe even a little Eric Taylor or Matt Seracen from Friday Night Lights?? And I think it's not even the sheer amount of women on this list that annoy me its which ones. Why is Izzy from Grey's Anatomy no where on this list? No Pam Beasley?? I mean seriously what the H???

In conclusion, this list is bush league.

p.s.
Also I was thinking, I'm a people watcher so I watch a fair amount of reality tv shows ... and I can't think of one person that I would want to be friends with on any of the shows I watch. Especially the MTV reality shows, I think if I saw the entire cast of Maui Fever crossing the street I'm pretty sure I would not break (They are straight up annoying, why can't they talk right? what is up with their annoying cadence??).
