35. Following the Frank Burns character was an amazing feat

Over time, the character was given many layers. At first, the Winchester character may have seemed like a distant cousin of Burns, but he soon transcended it. Primarily "unlikable," like Burns, but the writers (and Stiers) revealed the humanity under the arrogance.

R.I.P., Mr. Stiers.
