Deadwood was a hard one, I wanted to put in Merrick as well as Commissioner Jarry too. EB and Richardson were a great duo. Also George Hearst, Wild Bill, Francis Walcott, the dude that owned the hotel Joanie Stubbs stayed at, Tom Nuttall... so many great characters.

My top five least favourite characters would be;

1. Reverend Smith
2. Andy Cramed
3. Leon
4. Maddie - the whole Chez Ami sub plot was my least favourite in the series
5. Doc Cochran
