THE 2009 TOOBITS AWARDS (PART FIVE)

Run for your lives! More Toobits Award winners are on their way!

Today's presentation continues with the Tele-Folks Directory of those TV characters who debuted in 2009 and who really brightened up the world of the Toob. You'll see, once all of the categories are announced, that some of the categories don't match up. There will be characters who won in the Drama category, but their show is named in the Dramedy category. When seen on their own, these particular characters (basically one particular one) are just so tragic, while the show has heavy elements of humor.

And so... allons-y!
