You are right in a way, but I was only explaining Greg House because I knew relatively very few (if any) have seen the series. :D Well, OK.

I though you were referring to long TV series. Anyhow about explaining the "coolness" reason, I'm not quite sure. After all it's only to do with your taste :D I remember a friend of mine once explaining why he likes a certain character: "... _because_ he is so messed up in many ways and yet he has his own world of rules and reason ..." Don't even try to guess who he is. I have to go with the Blade thing too.

If you have to explain why a character is cool, to other people who have seen the series, then that character is definitely not! I have another nominee: <ul><li><strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_%28comics%29" rel="nofollow">Blade</a></strong> from <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_%28film_series%29" rel="nofollow">Blade</a></em>!</li></ul> You’ve never watched a movie either?!

So I could only think of two characters from Due South series. The first one is of course a Benton Fraser. Not because he is a hero in many senses, but because he sticks to the old-fashioned Canadian RCMP life and tries to use them in a highly different place. The second one is the old guy working at the police morgue. He tears off dead corpses while listening to Bach and ultimately enjoys it. Just a footnote: Believe it or not, here in Canada people really hold the door for each other. After all Fraser is an over-exaggeration of a typical Canadian.
