This winter’s Critics Poll could borrow the slogan from USA Network: “Characters Welcome.”

TelevisionWeek’s semiannual survey of TV critics nationwide was led by character-strong dramas and comedies over mainstream and action-driven choices, with ABC’s freshman breakout “Pushing Daisies” making its Critics Poll debut at the top of the list.

“Daisies” was followed by AMC’s Golden Globe winner for drama series “Mad Men,” with Showtime’s serial killer portrait “Dexter” coming in third.

Top critic picks matched many shows honored with nominations and awards by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association this year, with FX’s “Damages,” Showtime’s “Californication” and NBC’s “30 Rock” among the stronger Critics Poll showings.

ABC had the most programs in the top 20, with six shows represented and “Daisies” leading the pack. Ellen Gray of the Philadelphia Daily News wrote that “Daisies” is “sweet without making your teeth hurt, smart without making your head hurt; this one’s actually living up to the promise of its pilot.”

In second place, AMC’s “Mad Men” continues to rack up honors despite its niche basic-cable home.

“A grand sociological treatise that also managed to be wildly entertaining, examining how we got where we are, what we lost (and gained) along the way and why no one can trust anyone,” wrote David Kronke, Los Angeles Daily News. “Even women I know who couldn’t stand the sexism still managed to love it.”

The second season of Showtime’s “Dexter” has likewise received plenty of acclaim, enough to boost an edited version of the show onto CBS this spring.

“From the opening credits through each episode’s conclusion, this show is carefully crafted and simply riveting,” wrote Christine Champagne of TVWatch. “It is a true original with a wonderfully talented and diverse cast led by Michael C. Hall, who in conjunction with some great writers makes a serial killer a truly relatable guy.”

In fourth place is the second season of NBC’s comedy “30 Rock,” one of four NBC shows in the top 20 and up a couple of notches from last summer. “In another time, on another NBC, this would be thought of in ‘Cheers’-‘Seinfeld’-‘Friends’ territory,” wrote Tom Jicha of South Florida’s Sun Sentinel.

ABC’s “Ugly Betty” slipped a few places to No. 8, but Mr. Handelman argues that its lessening popularity with viewers is no indication that the show’s quality has eroded. “Viewership may be down, but ‘Betty’s’ creativity is up in this second season, which has made the characters more interesting, engaging, over-the-top (when necessary), aggravating and hilarious,” he wrote.
