And the best supporting actress is ...

Main characters are great, but the characters I enjoy the most are the supporting roles. I think this because they are allowed to be the eccentric ones, the crazy characters that can say and do anything they want. In any show you need the comic relief, if it was left to the main characters then shows would be pretty boring and we would get over them pretty fast. So as the ever helpful person who is obsessed with lists I have taken the time to talk about 10 of my favourite supporting actresses (my top 10 male supporting actors might follow later).

1. Shoshanna Shapiro (Girls)

I know we are supposed to believe that all four 'Girls' are the main characters but lets face facts - Lena Dunham's favourite character is Hannah! She gives her own character about 80% of the screen time (I'm not mad about it at all - the show is amazing). My favourite character is definitely Shoshanna, to describe her in a sentence I would probably say she is woman with a unique look on the world, slightly naive, slightly immature but extremely loveable and hysterical. If you want a sneak peak of how great this character is then watch season 3 episode 2 - she was perfect.

2. Bonnie Wheeler (Baby Daddy)

Probably a show you have never watched or even heard of. It came out in 2012 in America and it is rather funny. The basic premise is that a young guy has a one night stand and 9 months later the mother drops off a baby and then she bolts. This show has many good moments and about 99% are Bonnie's. She is the Grandmother to the baby. She has no inhibitions, reckons herself as a bit of a cougar and she is absolutely hilarious. I hope to be as shameless as her as I age.

3. Amy Farrah Fowler (The Big Bang Theory)
Why this character was not written in from the start I will never know. She is perfection. I will forever be looking for my own Amy. She is a sexually frustrated scientist on her way to been comfortable in social situations. Her personality is flawless and her wit is beautiful. I love you Miss Fowler.

4. Dalia Royce (Suburgatory)
She is the dry, emotionless ultimate mean girl. She is played perfectly by Carly Chaikin. She makes me laugh every time she in screen. She doesn't care who she upsets aslong as she gets what she wants - and she always gets what she wants. There are so many great supporting female characters on this show but she is my favourite. She also has her moments where she touches you and she has brought a tear to my eye a few times.

5. Christina Yang (Grey's Anatomy)
For me she is the star of the show. Playing best friend to the title character can put her in a box of being the supporter and confidant - however she broke the mould. She is a sarcastic, straight talking son of a gun. She takes no shit and knows what she wants. My favourite thing will always be her wit, she just doesn't care.

6. Carol Miller (The Millers)
She could probably be considered a main role but lets be honest - its all about Will Arnett on that show. Carol plays his mother who is currently going through a divorce and she moves in with him. Cut to a montage of them being on the treadmill together - talk about laughing out loud, it got me. My favourite scene, possibly of any show, has to be when she and her kids almost re-enact the famous speech from 'A Few Good Men' - video below.

7. Karen Walker (Will & Grace)

The ultimate supporting character in my books. The bitch with a heart. She is the funniest character from any show. My love for her is unconditional - I don't know what else to say.

8. April Ludgate-Dwyer (Parks and Recreation)

The Queen of deadpan comedy and witty one liners. In a show with Amy Poehler in, it has been a challenge for me to notice other people (my love for Amy is deep and its real) but April stood out from the get-go. I think I resonate with April quite a lot as I have similar attitude as in I don't like doing what I should be doing, I question and moan whenever I am forced to do something. The fact she found love with Andy just multiplied my admiration for the girl.

9. Madison Montgomery (American Horror Story: Coven)

In a show jam packed with amazing actresses it was hard to choose one. I am so happy Ryan Murphy cast Emma Roberts in this role. She plays the heartless bitch flawlessly. She has been through a lot of shit in the show (been killed probably was the lowest point) but she got back up again (literally) and stuck a middle finger up to the world because at the end of the day its her world and we are just living in it. I really hope she is the Supreme.

10. Bonnie Plunkett (Mom)

She is the mother of the main character Christy. Bonnie is an ex-alcoholic and ex-drug addict, who has changed her ways and is now living on her daughter's couch. She is blunt, honest and  a strong willed woman. She takes no flack and will fight for everything that is important to her, plus she does it with hilarity and style. Her one liners make this show for me and she is with no doubt my favourite character from the show.

New Addictions

So once again it is my favourite time in TV world. Not only are all my favourite shows returning, but they come with a whole bunch of new ones tagging along for the ride. Whilst my favourite shows like Modern Family, Parks and Recreation, Grey's Anatomy etc etc fill up most of my free time, I like to take the time to try new ones. Even though its almost guaranteed that most won't last more than a season I still like to watch them. So here are just a few of the new ones that I took a look at.

The Crazy Ones

Buffy may have ended 10 years ago but Sarah Michelle Gellar has stayed in my heart. I tried watching her show The Ringer, but I just didn't get attached (good job aswell as it got the can). She has returned in this 22 minute comedy along with the great Robin Williams. Its about a father and daughter who own an advertising company, not 100% sure where the crazy is, I mean Williams character is a bit eccentric but I don't want to judge him as crazy just yet. I really enjoyed it, and Kelly Clarkson acting like a diva is enough for anyone to tune in. 

Mom

Starring the beautiful alien-esque Anna Faris as a single mum/mom struggling with alcoholism. Its a comedy by the same creators of The Big Bang Theory so you know I was gonna tune in. My main issue is that Anna does not look old enough to be a mother to a teenager, but I got over that. Anna's unique acting skills that features a lot of gurning works perfectly, and her non-bond with her own mother (played by the amazing Allison Janney) is probably my favourite aspect. This kind of comedy is my favourite, plenty of laughs with heartfelt moments.

Sleepy Hollow

I saw the film years and years ago so I was worried I would need to watch it again to understand the TV show. Turns out I didn't need to as its completely detached. The story is basically that a man, Ichabod Crane, has been resurrected 250 years after he died, he died during some war (I should have payed more attention) after he beheaded someone. So of course the beheaded man has been resurrected aswell and is going around killing a load of folk. So Ichabod joins forces with the local police to help them, of course the police officer he joins forces with has a dark past and some connection to the demon stuff that is going on. I like the show, it does need a lot of attention - you blink and you miss something. I'm gonna stick with it and see where it goes.

Sean Saves The World

Starring Sean Hayes of Will & Grace fame as a gay, single dad struggling to balance work and raising his teenage daughter. My problem with this is that it is very similar to Jack from Will & Grace's storyline - a gay dad having to learn how to be father. It is a very funny show though and I will definitely watch it, it got a few giggles out of me. Some of the characters are a little too exaggerated and can be taken down a notch so we can actually relate to them. All in all a good start.

The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D

A spin off from the film Avengers Assemble. Joss Whedon has brought his magic back to the TV screens with this very stylish, sleek, action-filled and funny TV show. It isn't a show you can come back and forth to as it has a running storyline to it which I am looking forward to seeing unravel. We haven't met any superheroes yet as it turns out S.H.I.E.L.D do a lot more than manage Superheroes and Gods. Loving the little cameos from the likes of Samuel L. Jackson and Cobie Smulders. Very funny show and a lot to like about it, looks expensive to make so I hope the studios don't lose confidence in it and cancel it.

Super Fun Night

If you know me then you know I have mad love for Rebel Wilson. So I was definitely going to tune in to a TV show she created and stars in. I wasn't disappointed at all. It was funny and heartfelt - with a little Ugly Betty about it. Rebel stars as a lawyer who is sick of not doing anything, so her and her two best friends decided to go out and have some fun, the first episodes see them enter a singing competition at a piano bar, Rebel kills it of course. If I could be a Debbie Downer for a second - I can't stand Rebel's american accent, it isn't necessary. It would not affect the story at all if she kept her aussie accent.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine

A half an hour cop show starring Andy Samberg. If I had to compare it to anything it would be like a police version of Scrubs (just without the the inner dialogue). It has its weird characters and far fetched storylines. It also has a heart and some very funny moments. It is also nice to see Terry Crews on TV, my only issue with that is that I get 'A Thousand Miles' stuck in my head after every episode. I can see this show possibly lasting a while and I would be happy to watch it.

Masterchef Junior

You know I will watch anything with Gordon Ramsey in it. God I love the man. However, if there is one thing that freaks me out it is overly confident children. I don't understand it, when I was a child I would run away from attention and hide under my duvet with my Scooby Doo plush toy. They are crazy talented and can say words that even I, a 25 year old man, struggle to say. This may come from a place of jealousy as I can't even cook a microwave meal with very clear and simple instructions (I have actually acquired a taste for burnt food).
