29. Scandal
Rating: 93%
For seven seasons spanning six years, Kerry Washington’s Olivia Pope was one of the most recognizable characters on television. Pope, a former White House Communications Director, opens her own crisis management firm — Olivia Pope & Associates. Pope is a top-notch fixer (like Ray Donovan) who has earned a strong reputation within the nation’s capital. Whenever there is a problem, Pope is the woman to call. With a strong supporting cast and intriguing plot lines, it is easy to see why Scandal was a smash-hit. During her run as Pope, Washington was nominated for two Emmys and two Golden Globes.
