| 228 | ** The four leads in the U.S. version fit this trope: Pam (melancholic), Jim (phlegmatic), and Michael and Dwight crank up the most dysfunctional aspects of sanguine and choleric respectively. |
| 229 | ** The same coul*d be said for Dawn, Tim, David, and Gareth, their [[Series/TheOfficeUK U.K. equivalents]]. |
| 230 | * The five original main characters of ''Series/OneTreeHill'' can be characterized this way: Lucas (phlegmatic, or alternatively melancholic), Nathan (choleric), Peyton (melancholic, or alternatively phlegmatic), Haley (eclectic), and Brooke ('''''so''''' sanguine). |
| 231 | * ''Series/OnceUponATime'' has a few: |

| 251 | * The eponymous characters in ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars'' are almost a textbook case: Aria (melancholic-p), Spencer (choleric-m), Hanna (sanguine-c), and Emily (phlegmatic-s). |
| 252 | ** For that matter, the main character's primary love interests are also a pretty good example: Ezra (sanguine-p), Toby (melancholic-c), Caleb (phlegmatic-m), and Paige (choleric-s). |
| 253 | * ''Series/ProjectRunway'': Tim Gunn (phlegmatic), Michael Kors (choleric), Heidi Klum (sanguine), and Nina Garcia (melancholic). |

| 256 | * ''Series/PushingDaisies'': Ned (melancholic), Chuck (phlegmatic), Olive (sanguine), and Emerson (choleric). |
| 257 | * The five original male leads in ''Series/QueerAsFolkUS'', especially in the first season. |
| 258 | ** Phlegmatic: Justin -- He tends to be the most level-headed of the group, even though he is the youngest. In the Michael-Brian-Justin triangle episodes, he acts as peacemaker in the aftermath of Michael's surprise party. |
| 259 | ** Choleric: Brian -- The most sexually aggressive and impulsive in the gang. His behavior is difficult to predict, and swings from irresponsible (leaving Gus with Justin to attend the Leather Ball) to heartwarming ([[spoiler:appearing for Justin's prom]]). |
| 260 | ** Sanguine: Emmett -- Lumberjack party! |
| 261 | ** Melancholic: Ted -- Shy, withdrawn, and pessimistic. |
| 262 | ** Electic: Michael -- The main character. He tends to be very passive (and would perhaps not be nearly as likable if not portraited by the charismatic Hal Sparks). |
| 263 | * The main characters of ''Series/RaisingHope'' seem to fit: Jimmy (phlegmatic), Sabrina (melancholic), Virginia (choleric), and Burt (sanguine). |
| 264 | * ''Series/{{Ravenswood}}'': Caleb (choleric), Miranda (sanguine), Remy (melancholic), Luke (phlegmatic) and Olivia (eclectic). |

| 267 | * ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'': Sarah Connor (sanguine), John Connor is choleric (though doesn't get the full measure of his leadership until the end of the second season); Cameron (melancholic), Derek Reese (eclectic); rounding out the group is Charley Dixon, who is phlegmatic. |
| 268 | * ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures'' - Season One: Sarah Jane (choleric), Luke (melancholic), Maria (phlegmatic), and Clyde (most definitely sanguine). However come Series Two when Maria leaves, Rani becomes the choleric (bucketfuls of ambition, and just look at how she bosses the boys about!), making Sarah Jane melancholic, and Luke phlegmatic (bless his cotton socks). This is something that makes the show very different from others: the leader of these TrueCompanions is '''not''' the choleric character, but the melancholic one! True, Sarah Jane is still a little bit choleric at times (coz she's their leader) but she's quiet and independent, and ''completely occupied'' with all that's wrong in the world. Not to mention the shedload of [[{{Tearjerker}} melancholic]] moods she goes through due to all the stuff that happens to her in each series (do the writers hate her?). Effectively making this team leader the {{woobie}}. |
| 269 | * ''Series/SchittsCreek'' has the Rose family: |
| 270 | ** David (melancholic): Pessimistic, academic and creative. |

| 275 | * ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'': Jerry (phlegmatic) - apathetic, indifferent, unconcerned with his anybody's problems; George (melancholic) - rude, stubborn; Kramer (sanguine) - energetic, flighty, out-there; and Elaine (choleric) - confident, hard to embarrass. |
| 276 | * In ''Series/SexAndTheCity'', Miranda Hobbes (choleric), Carrie Bradshaw (melancholic), Charlotte York (phlegmatic), and Sam Jones (sanguine). |
| 277 | * In ''Series/ShamelessUS'', the main households even qualify. The struggling, sensitive Gallagher house represents Melancholy. The violent hell-hole Malkovich is Choleric. The Jackson home is Sanguine, on the surface at least, and the Lishman house is Phlegmatic. |
| 278 | ** Among the older Gallaghers you've got Frank (sanguine), Fiona (choleric), Lip (melancholic) and Ian is phlegmatic by nature, bipolar episodes notwithstanding. |
| 279 | * The Strike Team from ''Series/TheShield'' exemplifies this (and then some): Vic (choleric), Ronnie (melancholic), Shane (typical sanguine), and rounding off with a phlegmatic Lem. |

| 284 | ** The people-oriented, fun-loving, but reckless Gi-hun (Sanguine) |
| 285 | ** His cold, calculating, childhood friend Sang-woo and the aloof, introverted Sae-byeok (Melancholic) |
| 286 | ** The calm, patient, easygoing going Il-nam and the quiet, self sacrificing Ji-yeong(Phlegmatic) |
| 287 | ** The bold, brash and overbearing Han Mi-nyeo (Choleric) |
| 288 | ** The conflicted but kind Ali (Luekine) |
| 289 | * It works for the original [[Series/StargateSG1 SG-1]]: Sam Carter (sanguine), Jack O'Neill (choleric leader), Daniel Jackson (melancholic), and Teal'c (phlegmatic). |
| 290 | ** ''Series/StargateAtlantis'' mixes up the recipe a bit: John Sheppard (melancholic leader), Rodney [=McKay=] (choleric), Teyla (phlegmatic) and Ronon (sanguine). |

| 299 | ** Minor Characters: Simka Dahblitz-Gravas (choleric), Zena Sherman (melancholic), Jeff Bennett (phlegmatic), John Burns (melancholic), Tommy the waiter (eclectic). |
| 300 | * ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}'' |
| 301 | ** Tinky Winky: The phlegmatic. The designated leader of the Teletubbies, and the most reserved of the bunch. |
| 302 | ** Dipsy: The choleric. The most easily agitated of the four, and often the source of a lot of conflict revolved around in-fighting, as non-aggressive as it actually gets. |
| 303 | ** Laa-Laa: The sanguine. The most bubbly and cheerful of the bunch, falling under common stereotypes of overseas GenkiGirl personalities. |
| 304 | ** Po: The melancholic. The least outspoken of the Teletubbies, she's often left to her own devices to have her entertain herself rather than building her chemistry solely off of the other three. |
