... there have always been "brainy" characters on various shows - who're some of the smartest, in your opinion?
Currently, I'm watching shows like Numb3rs, Bones, and Criminal Minds - all of which have a REALLY brainy character... hard to say exactly who's the smartest - but they're all strong nominees.
(Of course, we're going to dis-allow "devine" characters like "God" in Joan of Arcadia)

Re: Smartest Character on Television??
Fri, August 17, 2007 - 7:30 AMOf course the Professor was the original McGuyver. And now that I mention it, McGuyver is also another one of TV's brilliant brainaics. Of course as Major Genenral Jack O'Neill, that description no longer applies to him. But we definitely can say another member of Stargate Command is among the most brilliant of TV brainiacs: Lieutenant Colonel Samantha Carter!

Re: Smartest Character on Television??
Fri, September 28, 2007 - 5:49 AMShelly Long was certainly one of the smartest. I loved Diane! -
