  3. Piper all the way, Buffy and if I were a man then definitely Damon :)

    ReplyDelete
  4. Other: Cullen Bohannon (Hell on Wheels)

    ReplyDelete
  5. Clara Oswald, the Doctor's recent companion on Doctor Who. I mean, come on, Clara's life makes everyone else on the list look like your average(ly boring) workday.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Jack Bauer - 24.


    Or Vincent Chase - Entourage, that'd be quite nice as well.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Well, from the persons on the list I have to go with Buffy. She's hot, she has loyal friends, a cute (but sometimes annoying) little sister, (occasionally) a hot boyfriend and of course she can kick ass like no other.
    My second choice would be Willow. If you wonder why not Bonnie, cause in the last 2 seasons Bonnie was too stupid and naïve to be believable. Willow is powerful, smart and loyal. And one of my favorite scenes with her was when she killed Warren (loved it).
    Brennan would also be a good choice. I appreciate that she never jumps to conclusions without scientific evidence. But sometimes I don't like her lack of emotions and knowing of the human way. And speaking of Bones: I want ZACK back!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  8. or good old Dana Scully ;)

    ReplyDelete
  9. Felicity Smoak (Arrow). Who didn't want to be with Oliver in his Arrow missions?

    ReplyDelete
  10. Out of these Piper (and maybe Brennan) but I don´t think I'd want to trade lives with them. I'd prefer the lifes of Monica Geller or maybe Lois Lane.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Piper Halliwell, no contest.

    Even if I am a guy, Piper is the character that I want to be if ever I get to experience a switcheroo. To live in Halliwell Manor, to hold the Book of Shadows in my hands and peruse every page, to have formidable powers and to brush shoulders with magical creatures (even kicking some demon ass!): all this would be beyond amazing.

    Others would be Klaus (the King) and Damon Salvatore from Vampire Diaries.

    ReplyDelete
  12. the problem with being a character on the shows i watch is that awesome abilities comes with pretty crappy lives and constant attack from various villains, such as damon salvator or oliver queen

    ReplyDelete
  13. Dana Scully or Sherlock. Beckett for the looks and the man (Castle) because I'm pretty much like her anyway (personality wise). Wouldn't like to get the baggage though.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Castiel (Supernatural) being an Angel would be great for a day, helping and curing people. Dean Winchester for a day IF I could survive a day of his life. That is Supernatural also, for the uninformed. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  15. Bonnie Bennett TVD .. 'coz she's awesome and Bad-ass <3

    ReplyDelete
  16. clark kent smallville and oliver queen arrow.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Piper !! :)

    ReplyDelete
  18. Harold Finch. End of discussion.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Andrew Van de Kamp (Desperate Housewives)

    ReplyDelete
  20. 1- Walter Bishop. The possibilities are endless!


    to early,need my coffee!

    ReplyDelete
  21. easy BUFFY or with anyone from NCIS & Teen Wolf

    ReplyDelete
  22. Followed by a strawberry milkshake?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oliver because of the body that he has, Piper because of of the awesome magical life that she has, and Mary Margaret because of a loving caring husband that she has.

    ReplyDelete
  24. it would be cool to be jack bauer for 24 hours, hehe but im not sure i could do all he does as well as jack bauer i would probably be killed before the 24hr are over. hehe

    ReplyDelete
  25. Anybody on LOST. I would love to spend 24 hours on the island.

    Buffy means you get super powers but you're chained by destiny. Ditto Angel with brooding. Olivia Pope gives you a silver tongue and golden mind but tormented by love. Temperence Brennan means you're brilliant but socially moronic. Ditto for Sheldon Cooper. Kate Beckett makes you brilliant but tormented by rage. Any version of Sherlock Holmes makes you ungodly brilliant but burdened by an inability to connect to basically anything. Emily Thorne gives you unlimited wealth and analytical skills but leaves you bitter and single minded. Ditto Oliver Queen.


    Gotta go with Claudia Donovan from Warehouse 13. Hacker genius with great taste in music and friends. Down sides are she's scared of her own mind and both worried and delighted by her potential destiny of being tied permanent to the Warehouse as the future caretaker.

    And coffee yogurt.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Other.
    None of these would be my choice, but it's a hard one to make....


    How about another top five?!
    1. Mrs. Hawking - LOST
    2. Arya - GOT
    3. Pam - True Blood
    4. September - FRINGE
    5. Dr. Vogal - Dexter

    Emily=Revenge. I like this character :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. Honestly I think I would be someone on Hawaii 5-O and then I would call in sick and take a 1 day vacation. A day off in Hawaii sounds magical right now.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Ha, your day would be very eventful then but I'm not sure i would want to spend a day being tortured by terrorists.

    ReplyDelete
  32. This exactly. I love many of these characters but no way I would want to go through what they do. Buffy kicks butt but she also spends a lot of time getting her butt kicked and well, she died...twice. Not as much fun.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I love Buffy and Teen Wolf but no way would I want to spend even a day in Sunnydale or Beacon Hills. Bad stuff keeps happening to the people there. I'm not sure why everyone hasn't moved out by now.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Fox Mulder - because he was my hero growing up - though I have no shame in admitting that if someone told me I could be Sarah Walker for the day and I had 5 seconds to decide yes or no, I'd likely say yes before I thought about it - because she's the best spy EVER.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Love the way you think. What makes most of these characters so awesome is the trials they face and the bad situations they get themselves in and out of. That's so much more fun than actually living them. Claudia is a good choice because you get to see all the wonder but you can turn down the biggest danger situations and elect to stay in the warehouse as computer support that day.

    ReplyDelete
  36. yeah i have never been to hawaii but it looks so nice there so that would be awesome to take a vacation there. :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Ahah excellent H50 reply

    ReplyDelete
  38. Very good choices !

    ReplyDelete
  39. start_wearing_purpleAugust 11, 2013 at 3:07 PM

    The simple truth is you can't create a powerful character without corresponding powerful flaws. No one will like or accept them. Brilliance has to be met with loneliness, beauty with torment, money with darkness, fame with addiction, etc. Fiction is still built on the idea that one has to be forged within fire in order to emerge as a hero.

    ReplyDelete
  40. verry good writen, and soo true. :)

    ReplyDelete
  41. All right. My thoughts are people on television have awful lives, if you think about it. Too much angst, drama, stupidness. I'd rather change with a real person. I would choose Danneel Harris Ackles. One day with Jensen. Yeah, that works.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Other- My number one choice would be Robin Scherbatsky. Absolutely love her, wouldn't mind being her at all!
    Then it'd be Chandler Bing, no one does sarcasm better!
    Kate Beckett- because I think she's beautiful and so intelligent, plus I love Castle anyway!

    Sheldon Cooper- I'd like to be in the body and mind of this genius
    Meredith Grey- Just for McDreamy
    Snow White- Actually i'd pick Emma or Belle cause I love em, but picked Snow White just because she's well, snow white!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I would like to be Oliver Queen for one day, it would be awesome! Also, I'd like to be Chuck!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Felicity Smoak (Arrow) or Ruby/Red (Once Upon a Time).

    ReplyDelete
  45. Bonnie Benett lol.17 people want to be used and pushed by everyone around them.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I agree with you completely!!! I had a really hard time picking mine for that very reason, even though I too surely have my flaws, which probably do relate to some of my favorite characters, the truth be told most of them are in such politically/physically/emotionally complex and/or supernatural-like situations, let alone what happens to some of them, that I don't know how much I would like being them. But yet the idea of them is so enjoyable to watch (which is why I often argue a lot of Tv series/film is art and subjective to one's taste)


    But kind of like the debates on the "underrated" actor poll, I think the poll doesn't specify if we would have to "be" the character we change our lives with, or if we could take their roles (at some point in their stories) into our own hands? -That might have changed my answers a little bit.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Olivia Pope... not quite in the state she was in at the end of season 2, but still, she has a solution for everything ;)

    ReplyDelete
  48. start_wearing_purpleAugust 11, 2013 at 4:40 PM

    Well that's the other part, at what point in a character's evolution do we want to be them? Buffy in season 1 is a teenager struggling with her future. In season 2 she's lovesick and heartbroken. In season 3 she's struggling with her identity and rebellious nation. In season 4 it's lovesick and identity issues again. In season 5 it's pain and sacrifice. In season 6 it's coping with the loss of true happiness. Season 7 it's the burden of Leadership. Any character can be mapped the same way.


    So the question becomes what traits do you want and what price will you pay? I think that's why I would choose Claudia Donovan. The reward of understanding part of the universe is part of the price tag, the burden of understanding the universe. Well that and whole sexy hacker thing.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Daenerys Targaryen - GOT (she has her own dragons and is also amazing)

    Nina Theroux - Alphas (people do what she wants them to)

    Ziva David - NCIS (kick ass skills)

    ReplyDelete
  50. Nice poll but if i could be anybody for a day i pick Clark Kent having Supermans powers trumps everthing

    ReplyDelete
  51. Genevieve Padalecki... oh wait, you meant a character... ;)

    ReplyDelete
  52. Awesome poll but loads to choose from. I'd probably mix my choices up with people like
    Red Kryptonite Clark Kent (SV) just to know what its like being superman for a day.

    Castiel (SPN) because he's awesome.

    Damon, Klaus or Elijah (TVD)
    Damien Scott (Strike Back) or Owen (Nikita) or Oliver (Arrow) for pure adrenaline rush

    ReplyDelete
  53. Someone from Greys anatomy, I don't care who, I prefer Arizona, Christina or Baily

    ReplyDelete
  54. Rebekah Mikaelson

    ReplyDelete
  55. I love this poll!! I chose Clark Kent, Buffy, Beckett, Blair Waldorf and Piper :D.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I would go with Kate Beckett, although Her live is not that save. I am not sure i would like to switch with someone else on that list. They all have so much drama in there lives and some are even dead. I wouldn´t want to switch with a dead body like Bonni from TVD.

    ReplyDelete
  57. With Vince Chase from Entourage - he's got it all: women, power, fame and cool friends. :)

    ReplyDelete
  58. Definitely Buffy! Or the Doctor!

    ReplyDelete
  59. If you could switch places with someone, you'd switch with friggin' Kate Beckett over Superman? Admit it, you pervs just want to have sex with Nathan Fillion.

    ReplyDelete
  60. That is some list to choose from. Probably Piper and Buffy for the obvious reasons, to be able to have super powers, cute boyfriends, great friends and the ability to kick someones ass would be great. And Meredith Grey is pretty friggin cool, she has the driest whit and intelligence, gets to do the nasty with Derek and can save someone with a knife.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Definitely September!

    ReplyDelete
  62. Let's hope you and I switch on the same day, so we can still be good friends ;)

    ReplyDelete
  63. Nathan Filon (Castle)

    ReplyDelete
  64. Love your first choice! :)

    ReplyDelete
  65. Arianna Jessie CavagnoliAugust 11, 2013 at 9:39 PM

    Jane Rizzoli! I would like to meet doctor Isles :)

    ReplyDelete
  66. Veronica Mars, definitely.

    ReplyDelete
  67. With a side of Vines!

    ReplyDelete
  68. Saul Goodman (Breaking Bad)

    ReplyDelete
  69. My #1 choice was Kate Beckett because she's so strong when necessary but then she can go home to Castle. But I also chose Other so I could pick Lorelei Gilmore or Sookie St. James because they live in an awesome small town and own a fantastically successful business that they absolutely love.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I don't know who, just someone really smart with math. Hopefully after being them for a day their knowledge will stick in my mind. :P

    ReplyDelete
  71. What a surprise, I swear people just vote for Kate because she's from Castle. I personally chose Buffy, but wouldn't mind Damon Salvatore, Blair Waldorf or Amanda Clark

    ReplyDelete
  72. I want Zack back too. As a matter of fact, I would start watching Bones again if Zack came back.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I don't actually watch H50, sorry. I just know that if I could be one place different for a day, Hawaii sounds nice. I keep planning to marathon H50 but I just haven't had the time yet.

    ReplyDelete
  74. My job started back up on Friday so any vacation sounds fabulous right now. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  75. I second this pick. Think of all the things you could see in 24 hours.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Ha! I'm not seeing the plus side of being dead either. Being a zombie is not tempting at all either.

    ReplyDelete
  77. That is fine, don't worry, your answer is still excellent ;)

    ReplyDelete
  78. I voted for Buffy and Meridith, because I wanted to at least pick something from the options presented. Being Buffy would mean getting to be exceptionally fit and kick ass for a day, and there wouldn't be too much risk of "weight of the world" syndrome because it's only a day so who cares... Meredith kind of annoys me, but she is a doctor, she's not really exceptional but she's talented which would be enough IMHO, again given the 1 day restriction. She's also happily married, with kid(s) and however messed up her past was she's marching forward.



    That said, if I wasn't trying to maximize poll participation, I'd go with 'other'. Since most of my favorite shows revolve around disturbed individuals struggling to make it through bleak circumstances with varying degrees of optimism and humour intertwined- They'd all make for pretty lousy 'day in the life so for my number one pick, let's go really simple: Serena Van der Woodsen. Great hair (seriously, I would pay for that hair), money, typically she had a pretty fun wardrobe, and her problems were insanely trivial and mainly stemmed from indecision. It's not high-brow television but COME ON... Easiest life ever, no Chuck melodrama to risk, and WAY better hair than Blair.



    As far as interesting characters go/therefore more interesting choices:


    -Tony Soprano. Lots of power, a little heart, anti-anxiety meds, and who doesn't want an opportunity to be a little bit badder than their usual selves while eating boatloads of delicious Italian food? Everyone wanted to be the general, and with only a day's risk the lessons of warning need not apply...



    - Gregory House. I am all too familiar with the chronic-pain thing so that part sucks, but no-holds-barred tongue and the ability to read people and mastermind your way through a medical diagnosis... Plus, the knowledge that you could be essentially as big a jerk as you please and at the end of the day you'll always (car-drama excluded) have a job and a friend as loyal as Wilson... sounds pretty liberating to me


    -Alan Shore. Witty, weirdly-attractive despite very little physical appeal, passionate and routinely able to not only express his passions in an eloquent way but actually produce changes in the world or people's lives based on his convictions.



    I know I bended the gender lines here but every female characters I liked that were intelligent talented or exciting enough to make me jealous never seemed consistently happy or had as easy a time masking their pain as their male counterparts. House (Vicodin, hookers), Alan Shore (hookers. alcohol), Tony Soprano (casual sex, drugs, power and gun plays). I'm not trying to imply a desire for less lip-kissing *hooker joke* but I do think that if all it takes to numb the pain is a 1-900 #, you could easily stomach a day of that despair, and it is super weird that every single female character I have any kind of deep respect and curiosity towards is only ever soothed by their employment or talents (Yang, Buffy, Linden, V Mars and I'm sure at least two dozen other extraordinary enough to warrant life-swapping females...)



    So, with that, because I can't think of a happy and exceptional female character, from the depths of the average only one man... err, name. stands out. Serena... Great hair, and no problem a shoe purchase and an outfit change or plane ticket couldn't solve.




    P.S. Sure Rachel and many other more ordinary female characters had good hair too but Serena's loaded. Easy choice.

    ReplyDelete
  79. All of you are discussing consequences but the poll clearly states "one day"... Therefore, half of the consequences we're discussing are essentially moot. Unless they're really miserable or prone to dying all the time or something that would really hamper that one day I'm a little thrown by all the caution I'm observing here...

    ReplyDelete
  80. Everyone wants Zack back. Except the producers and writers. Have you seen all the videos on YouTube about him?

    It's just not fair that he should be locked away forever because of one mistake. So he helped a killer. Who cares? There are people raping children and killing entire families and they get 5 or 10 years. And they have no way or will to make it up by helping solving crimes. Zack can. And he's willing. So bring him back and give him a chance to catch other killers!

    ReplyDelete
  81. I voted for Kate Beckett because I love her and Stana Katic. However, once I thought about t, decided would like to be Richard Castle then I'd be able to spend the day with Stana

    ReplyDelete
  82. Yes, i observed The same thing, but not just on this poll ;) I would want to be someone with powers, not a 'normal person' ^^

    ReplyDelete
  83. I think you got it wrong. It's uually Jack Bauer who tortures terrorists.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Beckett, Bones or Snow White, because goddammit, their men.... ;)

    ReplyDelete
  85. Hmm Chuck Bartowski, Clark Kent, Castle, Mike Ross or Neal Caffrey.

    ReplyDelete
  86. I'd be Clark Kent for a day, and kill Lex Luthor in a mysterious way hide his body on some other planet, maybe toss him in some kinda Sun like hot planet if its capable of me. This way no one will find him, let them look if they want to. Superman won't know because he was me while I was being him so there will be a memory gap for him. And finally we will be rid of the stupid Human bad guy. and let super fight with other super people. Meanwhile I go back to my body and hurt like hell? wtf was he trying to do save the town?

    ReplyDelete
  87. That's great to see how people vote for castle stuff just because it's castle stuff ...
    Anyway, Piper Halliwell to kick some demon's ass, Oliver Queen to kick some rich's ass, Sherlock cause he has a damn epic brain. For the others : Peter Bishop from Fringe, so I can spend the day kicking asses with Olivia Dunham, and come back to my house with Olivia Dunham :p Last bu not least, September from Fringe, since time does not apply the same to Observers, speaking of a one-day deadline is kinda stupid :)

    ReplyDelete
  88. Walter Bishop, Kyle Trager so I could be a genius for a day lol. And Rudy Wade, I'd like another me.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Teresa Lisbon or Patrick Jane (The Mentalist)

    ReplyDelete
  90. Id Rather Be Temperance, Kate,Angel,or Piper.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Not gonna pick a person. As long as I get to return to my own body afterwards, I wouldn't mind being POI's "machine" for a day. Just think of all the things you could do with all those secrets of the rich and powerful that you could discover in that one day...

    ReplyDelete
  92. Kate Beckett = make out with Castle :D

    ReplyDelete
  93. Jeff Winger (Community)
    Richard Castle (Castle)

    ReplyDelete
  94. Other....

    As much as I love most of these characters, and yes as BADASS as most of them are (and that is something I would like to also be), what they go through is not something I really envy. So I'd pick someone with a more fun life, like Richard Castle...

    ReplyDelete
  95. Kensi Blye (NCIS:LA) nuff said !!!!

    ReplyDelete
  96. OMG, to LOOK like Kate Beckett and be with RICHARD CASTLE is worth having to dodge some bullets! LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  97. I'd rather trade lives with Rick Castle: he's rich, doesn't have to do the paperwork at the precinct, and gets to go home to Kate Beckett at the end of the day. So much better than actually being Kate Beckett!

    ReplyDelete
  98. I watched 3 seasons of 24 and there wasn't one where Jack wasn't getting beat up by someone in part of it.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Patrick Jane (The Mentalist)

    ReplyDelete
  100. ... or not being able to go to the toilet.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Just Oliver Queen ♡.♡ <3<3

    ReplyDelete
  102. I'd choose to be Sofia Pernas for a day. She's gorgeous AND dating Christian Kane!

    ReplyDelete
  103. Other: I would also choose to be Sofia Pernas besides the fact that she is beautiful, she is dating the HOTTEST guy Christian Kane!!

    ReplyDelete
  104. I choose Gina Bellman aka Sophie Devareoux from the awesome TV show "Leverage" because she can be who ever she wants or needs to be.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Would not trade my life with anyone! It may not be the greatest-but it is mine, and I get to watch whatever/whoever I want, which is #Leverage as often as it is on (not often enough!) and #ChristainKane, just as much as I can. So-I wouldn't trade my crappy life with anyone!

    ReplyDelete
  106. I would change with any of the cast members of #Leverage who got to work with THE HITTER.... #ChristianKane ....

    ReplyDelete
  107. Parker from Leverage!!! Being able to pick any lock and jump off tall buildings would be awesome!!!! Plus, one of your best friends is Eliot Spencer aka Christian Kane!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  108. Sophia Pernas!!!

    ReplyDelete
  109. Yeah, having magical and/or any super abilities is great, but not with the sacrifice and drama most of these characters have/are going through. I'd love the Halliwell's or Sabrina the Teenage Witch's magical abilities, but the downsides to their life b/c of their abilities is not appealing.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Remember on Heroes, there was a waitress that Hiro liked, who could remember everything she read/saw, and another character who could mimic any muscular movements (i.e., piano playing, martial arts, etc.)? I want a combo. of their abilities. Would be very useful to me.

    ReplyDelete
  111. Ana Flávia da CruzAugust 21, 2013 at 7:17 PM

    Probably BBC Watson; :)

    ReplyDelete
  112. Someone from Stargate Universe crew :) I like the idea of traveling in the deep space, solving its mysteries

    ReplyDelete
  113. Goodness who would want to be Bonnie Bennett! Yes, please I'd like to be a constantly manipulated, effectual plot device who is so unimportant no one even noticed that I died. I'm not liking most of these options. I'd be Donna in Suits. It would be hard coming back from being that awesome, but totally worth it.

    ReplyDelete
  114. I would switch a day with one of the doctor companion (doctor who) Travel through time and space with the doctor: Fantastic!
