Who's you're favorite TV villain. Not your animated ones, or Lex or the Joker (maybe Louie the Lilac), but your KARRs, your Louie DiPalmas, your Gilligans. TV villains you'd want as a nemesis, base your own villainy, or just couldn't stand.
My favorite has to be Murdoc. MacGyver was always able to figure a way out of Murdoc's traps, was a master of disguise, crafty, & never seemed to stay dead.
So...who's your's?

Daleks get old. I always loved Romulans. STNG did them well.
Also Hank from Breaking Bad :)
Gul Dukat, Deep Space Nine - Of all the Treks, Deep Space Nine is my favorite, and if you are talking about TV-only villains, Gul Dukat was unrivaled in Trek history. The character had the benefit of being developed completely, being a perfectly complex foible for Benjamin Sisko.
Russell Hantz, Season 19, Survivor: Samoa - Richard Hatch may have been the first great villain of Survivor, but when it comes to pure villainy, Russell is the hands-down greatest villain ever seen on reality TV. I never rooted for a more despicable character. He was robbed at the end of that season, when the jury decided (for the only time in the history of the show) that "riding the coattails of another player" was a legitimate "strategy" worthy of winning Survivor.
Diana, V - I'm talking the original here. Despite the fact that I'm basing this decision on the miniseries (hey, they were TV!), Diana was one of the most downright evil and manipulative villains to ever grace the small screen.
Dr. Loveless from Wild Wild West
Newman from Seinfeld
Hoodoo from Lidsville
Stringer Bell - The Wire
Al Swearengen - Deadwood
The Lannisters - Game of Thrones
Ben Linus - Lost
Baltar - Battlestar Galactica (the remake)
Joe Carroll - The Following
Eddy Haskell - Leave it to Beaver
Simon Cowell - American Idol
Gotta add Gus Fring, Ben Linus and Cersi Lannister in there as well. All great baddies that you can't not watch when they're on the screen.
Mags Bennett from Justified.
Dr. Peter White of St. Elsewhere.
"Bad Sal" Benedetto on Hill Street Blues
Don Draper on Mad Men
Thomas Barrow on Downton Abbey.
Atherton Wing on Firefly.
The Original Travis (Blakes-7) Not the pretty boy version from season 3
Diana (V)
Hannibal (Hannibal) Mad's is believable both as the helpful friend and the sick lunatic.
I'll also agree with Kai Winn on ST:DS9 (I liked her better than Gul Dukat) and Ben Linus on Lost.
And I'll add the Sheriff Of Nottingham from the 1950's Adventures Of Robin Hood. (I have the entire series on DVD.)
