The results are in! We asked readers to name their favorite TV characters of all time and thousands responded. This year, for the first time, we weren't just asking about favorite gay TV characters. Folks could vote for characters of either gender - and all persuasions. Of course, this being AfterElton we expected gay characters to figure prominently on this list - and they do - but it is interesting to see what female and straight TV roles also resonated with the AfterElton readership.

Second, female characters nabbed 15 of the top 50 spots, or 30%.
Third, obviously a poll like this favors characters from...

With new projects popping up left and right, we thought it was time we caught up with America’s most beloved BFFs!
It’s been nearly six years since we’ve watched Rachel, Ross and the gang dish about love and life at Central Perk, but even though they’re not all huddled in one New York City coffee shop/apartment building, you can still catch these ‘Friends’ on the big screen, small screen and every media outlet in between. No matter where you are, they’ll be there for you.”
Golden Girl:
After a long illustrious career that began in the ’80s with a Bruce Springsteen video, Courteney Cox is finally getting her time in the sun. Happily married to David Arquette and mother to 5-year-old Coco, Courteney (Monica Geller), 45, has won heaps of praise—and a Golden Globe nod—for her role as a sassy cougar on...

Ponyo swims into theaters today, and as the latest film from director Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, who gave us such landmark titles as Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and Howl’s Moving Castle, this little fish finds itself in a very big pond, and in some highly esteemed company.
The movie tells the story of a magical fish, who yearns to leave the ocean and visit the human world. To this end, she sets out on a quest that nearly takes her life. She is rescued by a human boy, Sosuke, who takes her home in a bucket, and promises to take care of her. When Ponyo’s father, Fujimoto, a once human mad scientist who fell in love with the sea, learns of it, he is furious, and comes to take her back. But Ponyo is too much like her mother, and will not be contained. She is determined to become a human girl,...
