In Search of Conservative TV Characters

Since the days when Archie Bunker ruled the airwaves, conservative TV characters have been a bit few and far between. But as the right-wing blog IMAO points out, there are still a few out there:

Jack Donaghy from 30 Rock: Yes, he’s a joke character played by a well known liberal Alec Baldwin (no relation to Adam), but you have to give huge points if you’re grading on a curve since he’s not the butt of jokes anymore than any other character — his conservatism is as often a joke as Liz Lemon’s reflexive New York liberalism. Actually, 30 Rock is an example that you can bring up politics for humor without bashing people over the heads with a certain political belief (also see early seasons of the Simpsons).

Fair enough. The rest of the short list isn't bad either. But I have to say I'm a little surprised the new Knight Rider wasn't included. Just like the GOP, he's rogue, individualistic, and late last year most of America decided they never wanted to see him again.
