Looks like ‘Ian’ has what Freud would call ‘America Envy’.

Poor chap.

Yet another meaningless list hopelessly slanted towards the past 20 years.

Where’s Lt. Castillo (Miami Vice)? Lou Grant (Mary Tyler Moore AND his own show)? Louie DePalma (Taxi)? Skinner appeared in fewer than half the episodes of The X-Files, fercryinoutloud!

Guess that’s what you get when the only writers you can afford to hire were born after Michael Jordan turned pro.

No favorite bosses list is complete without Moonlighting’s Maddie Hayes.

Mr. Mooney on “The Lucy Show” – Blustered about like the proverbial Alpha male, but was no match for Alpha-Plus female Lucy Carmichael.
Barnabas Collins on “Dark Shadows” – Loutish handyman Willie Loomis wound up in the employ of a vampire. Talk about a boss who could really put the bite on you! (Sorry, couldn’t resist.)
Ironsides on “Ironsides” – Though restricted to a wheelchair, ex-cop Ironsides cracked the whip better than Captain Bligh over a picked team of operatives.
Andy Taylor on “The Andy Griffith Show” – could there ever be a more understanding boss that Sheriff Taylor in dealing with a deputy like Barney Fife?

This boss list is pretty terrible. Just looking at the bosses from one channel (HBO) should knock most of the people off this list.

Carnivale: Management, Samson and Brother Justin
Deadwood: Swearengen, Cy Tolliver, Mr. Wu
The Wire: Avon Barksdale, Omar, Prop Joe, Marlow

David Brent is the biggest omission, IMHO.

I was always partial to Craig Ferguson’s Mr. Wick from The Drew Carey Show.

I’d include Adam Schiff from “Law & Order” – he was the boss for most of the series. I also like Samson from “Carnivàle”.
