Jimmy Fallon Continues Our Top 50 2011 TV Characters

'X Factor' castoff Astro and 'Dance Moms' personality Abby Lee Miller also make MTVNews' list, counting down all week long.

MTV News' Top 50 TV Characters of 2011 continues with a few must-include
entries, as well as some visits from surprise guests.

"X-Factor" contestant Astro makes the cut this round as does "Dance Moms" favorite Abby Lee Miller, but you might be surprised to see certain sports and talk-show personalities who yapped their way onto our Best of 2011 list. Keep reading for the latest entries to our Top 50, and make sure to check out 36. Abby Lee Miller ("Dance Moms")
If Corky St. Clair and the God Warrior from "Trading Spouses" had a daughter,
she'd resemble the human steamroller that is Abby Lee Miller, Pittsburgh's
leading dance instructor for tweens. When Miller's not shrieking endlessly

quotable gems like "Thou shall not lie, thou shall not steal, and thou shall not disrespect Abby," she's placing her young students' headshots in a pyramid formation based on how much their moms pissed her off that week. But Miller's irresistible crazy shines brightest when she dreams up wildly inappropriate routines for 8-year-olds to "emotionally execute." If "Where Have All the Children Gone?" is not nominated for an Emmy, then voters don't have a soft spot for "child suicide" like Abby Lee Miller. -Jim Cantiello

JANUARY 10, 2012 SEASON TUTU

Ever since it wrapped its hit first season shrouded in sequins, costumes and fiery catfights, die-hard fans have been clamoring for more of Lifetime’s fast-rising docu-series Dance Moms.  Last summer’s most talked about show, featuring infamous dance instructor Abby Lee Miller, her world-class students and their mothers,  Dance Moms will take its long-awaited leap back into the world of competitive dance – this season alongside several new faces -- on Tuesday, January 10, 2012, at 9:00pm PT/ET.  Once again set in Pittsburgh’s renowned Abby Lee Dance Company, owned and operated by the notoriously demanding and passionate Miller, Dance Moms follows children’s early steps on the road to stardom and their doting mothers who are there for every rehearsal, performance and bow…all under Miller’s discerning eyes.  Presenting a powerful cast of characters that has inspired water-cooler talk across the country, the show immerses itself in the highs and lows surrounding dance competition season, delivering a captivating and dramatic look at the cast’s intense pursuit of National Dance titles.  Centered on the devoted Miller, who runs her school with an iron tap shoe as she instructs her young, talented students while also dealing with impassioned mothers who go to great lengths to help their children’s dreams come true, Dance Moms will continue to pose the tough questions many people have been asking since the show’s launch about what really goes on behind-the-scenes in the fast-growing and controversial sport of competitive dance. With a median age of 37, Dance Moms is Lifetime’s youngest skewing series, as well as its fastest-growing program.  The last four weeks of its first season averaged 1.7 million Total Viewers (up 70 % vs. its debut week). Online, the Dance Moms site on myLifetime.com has attracted 1.3 million unique visitors, 3 million visits, 11.2 million page views and 10.4 million video views season-to-date, according to Omniture.  Since its July 13th premiere, Dance Moms has been viewed by more than 60 million viewers across all platforms, including linear, online and VOD. Lifetime's innovative entertaining docu-series has found an international audience of dance fans in China, Australia, and Canada, too.
