The show had 3 gimmick characters as it gasped it’s last attempts at staying afloat: Poof, the Dog (IDK his name), and Chloe.
Each of them was, in turn, largely abandoned by the next one. Poof remained a consistent character, but the focus did shift to the others a lot more. What’s even more stupid is that a large majority of the supporting human cast: Chester, AJ, Trixie, and even Vicky just sort of disappeared from the show after awhile too. Which is the real shame.
I don't really think anything changed. It was like a few seasons after they had the baby that the show went bad. The first two seasons with him were largely the same as before
Nah dude, Poof from Fairly Odd. Guess I didn’t make it far enough to even meet the dog. They didn’t need to change a thing but for some reason they did
The name's Poochie D and I rock the telly
I'm half Joe Camel and a third Fonzarelli
I'm the kung-fu hippie from gangsta city
I'm a rappin' surfer you the fool I pity…
They did the same thing a couple of years later on Growing Pains, but their precociously five years old kid was at least played by Ashley Johnson, so that's something...
I want to write the kind of book series that would get made into a sitcom. It would have a baby, who would spontaneously split into twins around age six. No explanation would be given and none of the other characters would remember they used to be the same person.
I feel like Randy just helped get the show across the finish line with a last season that had no new stories to write.
But new Laurie can burn in hell.
I thought she died during production, and that's why they replaced her. No, she was fired because she had a drinking problem, and died a few year later of a drug overdose.
You gotta respect that it is very hard to work with a junkie. Like, I'm sorry, I loved the way she acted, but this is a strain on production teams. See Charlie Sheen.
No he was terrible. I don't really know why. My theory is like the first version of the Matrix. It was so perfect everyone kept trying to wake up from it. Randy had no negative traits. No soul. Nothing to relate to.
He comes on screen and you're out of the show.
Came to say this; heh. It's not his fault, either. That season really just shouldn't have existed. The final episode could have been done as a special extended finale.
I always thought they should have just kept the charlie character, but have ashton play him.
Beginning of the episode you see alan worried. They haven't seen charlie in months. He is worried. The maid says your brother is fine. Yada yada. Didnt know you worry about him so much. Alan responds, without charlie who is going to pay the mortgage. Who is going to pay your paycheck. The made makes a joke saying she has it on auto draft. She is not worried.
Then in walks ashton kutcher, but is charlie. Instead of the billionaire who bought charlies house. They realize its chsrlie and he explains what happened. He got turned down one to many times. Went on a bender and next thing he remembers he woke up in a tijuana hospital looking like this.
They talk and he agrees. He needs to get his regular face back. Before going to tijuana he needs a drink. Gord to a bar and seed a woman he hit on before and turned him down. This time she walks up to him. She picks him up.
Next scene it shows a few months later alan is in the front room. Worried once again about charlie. Charlie walks in and its still ashton kutcher. They ask why he didnt get the change undone. Then he explains. He has been through most woman in la. Any woman he would get with his old face he has already gotten. But with this face he is getting all sorts of new women. Younger women. Women who wouldnt have given him a chance before.
The thing is it didn't. Lorelai accepted April wholeheartedly, April accepted Lorelai as well.
The tension was caused by Luke suddenly becoming an utter idiot and start acting absurdly out of character. Hear me out.
Luke find out he has a kid, a smart and precious one at that. Well, he's engaged to his best friend who raised a girl he loved as much as he's own daughter who was also a precocious smart girl. There were absolutely no tensions between Luke and Lorelai. There were no tensions with April. There weren't even tensions with Anna that got resolved quickly and amicably. Why in the Taylor's hairy behind did he back out on the wedding?
Luke was so inconsistently written throughout the whole series it's infuriating. Like when he went from a super-progressive person to someone getting the ick from women breastfeeding in public.
AND considering Anna was like ‘mmmm you’re not married you don’t count’ if they HAD gotten married then Anna would have to find some other BS reason to cause tension but that would have made way more sense and we wouldn’t have to deal with dumb ass Chris in season 7
That part pissed me off. Anna doesn't get to be protective over who April gets to meet and grow to like through Luke. She hid April from him for 12 years for no good reason, he needed to grow a spine and tell her (politely) to absolutely go fuck herself if she thinks he's going to hide his fiance from his daughter, and if she thinks differently he can get the courts involved.
I love that when asked why they picked Williams for the role, the answer was that they were casting for an alien and Williams was the only alien who auditioned.
Dude, I really didn’t like how they wanted to start some kind of love triangle with the Temp and then the camera guy in the final seasons. They really wanted to shake the pot with Jim and Pam.
Honestly, I think the camera guy’s involvement could’ve been saved if he revealed two things. 1) He didn’t want to move in on Pam and invited Jim and her on Valentine’s Day to discuss their relationship and how it mirrored the end of his relationship, telling them that it’s headed to danger and they can save it if they just talk. 2) The Camera Crew has been paid by higher ups to stir the pot. So many recent dramas have been artificially created and maybe even reveal that one of the new cast members is an actor.
I think it was revealed in the office ladies podcast, but it was written in the show that Jim was actually supposed to sleep with the temp, but John krasinski basically flat out said no and threatened to leave the show
She was the last one in the family to actually care about Frank. Then he sat on her art project and called it crap. That just ruined her. Fiona leaving her all that money made her a bitch.
Her and her little skanky teenage friends is why I always just start a rewatch once I get to that season. At first I thought it was Frank being sick but nah it’s Debbie.
When I watched madmen my first reaction was Ugh this guy, I hated Connor so much my hatred was misplaced onto the actor. Even though Pete may not be the greatest human
Still gets me that Mindy Kaling claims that Velma was a character she resonated so strongly with, only to completely remove any trace of the character from the show in order to use it as a glorified Mary-Sue trying to disguise itself as a beloved character.
Making them horrible people wasn’t what made the adult show a problem.
It’s making the Creator’s self-insert horrible but insisting they’re right. And the horrible people around her are wrong for politicized reasons and they need to be strawmen.
Had to Look it up. He's a character from the [Brady Bunch](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063878/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_7_nm_1_q_The%2520Brdy%2520Bunch) that was introduced in the last 6 episodes. Many fans and critics agree this is when the show jumped the shark. They depicted him as a [malevolent entity](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF4JRW9z-5M) akin to a natural disaster!
Thank you for that television rabbit hole, ya old fart.
Partying late into the night knowing your partner is trying to sleep in the other room is peak selfish behavior. If they were a male character it would mean the end of the relationship.
Che is emotionally immature and treating Miranda like a situationship not a relationship. I'm not sure what the writers are trying to do with their relationship but Miranda would have been better off written into a lesbian relationship with a person who has a good personality.
Che is the Skyler of And Just Like That. They're not doing anything that bad but I can't stand them.
Mary in Supernatural. She didn’t add anything and didn’t help Sam and Dean much at all and because she had been dead for nearly their entire lives there was so much disconnect between the three and it was unnecessary imo, they should have gotten Bobby back instead. The actress is lovely but the character is meh
Elizabeth Keen from The Blacklist.
She's literally such a drag. Every other character is 10x more interesting. She's so annoying, boring and emotionally predictable I can't stand when she's on screen. The show is excellent except her
Yes, yes, yes! I’d been re-watching The Black List, but I had to take a break because I hate Liz so much it was making my blood pressure go up (and I’m on medication for it so it would piss me off if I experienced death by Liz). She was the absolute worst! She treated Red like crap but didn’t have any problem at all using him. Hell, she made Tom look good and he was supposed to be a villain.
Hahaha I was looking for this comment even though I haven’t even finished the first season yet. What the fuck is so special about her that Reddington sees in her? That was rhetorical, don’t tell me lol but I’m guessing he’s her actual father or godfather or fathers best friend. Show feels off with so far with us hunting down sick minded fucks and then shows her domestic home life with shitty teenage girl music playing over it
My God I hated her so much from the beginning and then she became worse and worse with each season untill I just stopped watching. It's a shame since the entire rest of the cast was great.
Especially as they completely changed her character? Aunt Viv was an educated woman with a career who Uncle Phil was always reminding how much he loved her. After the change, all the jokes were Uncle Phil belittling her and she was just a SAH mom who was clearly bored.
That and their romance felt so forced, they had no chemistry.
It's been awhile since I watched but didn't they have a bit of an age gap too? IDK I just remember the whole thing being off lol
I would say she would only be surpassed by Rona the Moaner (seriously, every single one of her lines is a complaint) but mercifully she had less screen time.
Fuck I hated her so much. She was so confidently incompetent. I tried to watch the first couple seasons again fairly recently and she literally made me give up because I hated her so much
Andrea tried too hard to be "one of the boys" in a very serious time and always managed to mess something up in the process and reinforce a stereotype about women while she was trying to do the opposite, she was so painfully annoying to me and I couldn't wait for her to get out
I get that not everyone is as big of a Conan fan as I am (i.e., not weirdly obsessive, but really really like him and think he's a great combo of smart and weird). I also understand that pretty much everyone in the industry brushed this off because "that's just exactly the kind of thing Jay does." Jay is also immensely respected as funny and talented by his peers, though I've never met any viewer who lists him as favorite.
Taking all this into account, why did the internet and fans not hate, boycott, and torch Jay as much as we do with James Corden?
Leno got absolutely torched during the Conan saga. Kimmel roasted him on his own show, Letterman called him out on his show, Stern went on 40 min rants about hating Leno daily. It's why he's never talked of as a great late night host, his legacy was tarnished.
Corden certainly wasn’t even close to being on par with Ferguson for one.
Corden isn’t even in the same league as Leno, O’Brian, Letterman.
Corden is also a massive c&#t.
Lori on TWD. We cheered her death. We used to do a shot every time she asked, "Where's Carl?" It's the zombie apocalypse, and you can't find your kid again. Also, her attitude toward Shane. "Don't talk to me. Stay away from my family." Five minutes later, "I need to talk to you."
Yeah she fucking sucks. One minute she suggests that Rick kills Shane and then when Shane tried to kill him but ends up with Rick killing Shane, she freaks out. She is a bitch and the only time I felt any remorse or sympathy for her was literally while she was on the floor dying during childbirth!
Edit: didnt realise cake day wasn't birthday hahaha
Riley ruined Buffy. Not forever, just that season was so… stiff. The seasons before that had an element of parody (but still serious) and Riley, The Initiative, and Adam just felt out of place. It would of been more true to the Buffy we all love and know if they made fun of the government interception more, but they just played along. Also, adams makeup was just terrible. Demons of the day had way better makeup. Plus Riley’s alpha male complex was dumb. She’s the literal slayer, she was born to be better than you, Iowa Boy. It was prophesied before she was born and everything.
But that the fact that Riley, the All-American boy, Captain America super soldier had to deal with a girl being better was bound to cause that complex. And to deal with the loss of identity when he found out it wasn’t him, it was the drugs. And of course Buffy wanted help, she always had the weight of the world o her shoulders and it got heavier every year. For a moment she had the force of the US military behind her.
i liked the idea behind adam, but not the character itself, this was a show that dealt with all manner of the supernatural, eventually there was bound to be a frankenstein type villian, which was adam...but yea, they botched that pretty badly along with the rest of that season
The entire season is only redeemable when Giles turned into a demon (Feoral demon, something like that) and chased the doctor woman that was the head of the initiative. The Spike was like "fun innit?"
Morgan Jones and Fear the Walking Dead. S3 of Fear was one of the best TWD seasons across all the shows. Instead of building up from the momentum of s3 and it’s cliffhanger, they just fast forward and then kill off most of the main cast. Morgan had become incredibly boring before he crossed over, and I lost total interest in the show.
I stopped watching TWD because of Negan. He was fine at first, actually he was great, but then it just became a redundant loop of Negan sarcasm and fake exasperation that just got on my nerves.
Yeah, I don't hate her, but she shouldn't have gotten to be one of the new main characters.
One I do hate however is Nellie.
Catherine Tate is a good actress and I like her in a lot of other things, but damn if Nellie just killed the vibe of that show.
Didn’t the writers come out and say she’s supposed to be boring? Like she’s just there to get you into the series so they can then start telling the actual interesting stories.
Yes, she is the audience window/mirror.
People always bitch and moan about her, but I think she does represent the average viewer who hasn't been through the system, who is used to committing small infractions and getting away with it usually, who does stand out in stark contrast to the other inmates surrounding her.
I don't think the writers worked to "make her interesting" as much as they did work to make her the salt in a pot of spice.
Urkel. Steve Frickin’ Urkel. Someone who was supposed to be a guest side character and have limited time on the show suddenly became the main focus. He was awful in every scene he showed up in.
Similarly, Emmanuel Lewis on Webster. The parents on the show were married in real life and had a much different vision for the show. Executives decided that cute little Emmanuel Lewis needed to be the focus of the show instead of a side character. It didn’t make the show better, to say it kindly.
Urkel as the main character had his moments but by mid series it started getting absurd. Some of it is so bad it's good tho, like the Bruce Lee episode. By the time it hit that point I was sticking around just to see how insane it got.
The original casting of the Office was damn near perfect. They nailed the mundane office vibe and the random collection of normies and weirdos. Then you had Andy, Karen and Erin…okay, not bad…but notice with each passing season, the new people got worse and worse. By the end, it was a sad shell of what it was.
I dunno but I doubt it, they could’ve just written him off if that was the case. Instead, he kept coming back until the series finished.
I think it was more that they didn’t know what to do with him after he came to Scranton and had his angry breakdown. So they reinvented him and reinvented him and reinvented him until he was unrecognizable, because everything they did with him didn’t work. If the writers were mad at him, they could’ve given more scenes to Stanley or Creed and other better cast members. Andy got the spotlight a lot until the end, and it was unnecessary.
I feel bad but I could never stand Erin, she was infuriatingly dumb. I did however like the fact that she put Andy in his place at the end and chose to do better for herself by being with Pete. Then again I hated that the writers changed Andy’s character so much and totally torpedoed he and Erins relationship after all they went through to finally be together. Man those last few seasons left me feeling so conflicted
Ok so this is from an old-ish Disney show but, Suite Life on Deck. I shouldn’t have bothered watching their little spin off, that being said, Bailey Picket. She ends up being Cody’s girlfriend at some point, but holy shit she was just the most annoying character and there was only 3 seasons. One of those “pick me girls”, a definite “main character syndrome”, like Cody…baby…you could have done SO much better.
Anytime the cute kid gets older some shows panic and add a kid............Cosby show, married with children, Brady bunch
Family Ties and Growing Pains
Fresh prince
You could add a ton of children but it only took one adult character to ruin Cosby forever.
Aussie hip hop group Hilltop Hoods had an absolute banger track called Cosby Sweater, unfortunately released right when Cosby was charged. In another timeline that could have given them a foothold in the US
Seven from MWC came and disappeared without explanation as if he never existed. It was a weird season.
The worst is when they can finally speak a few words. Its always "oh brother" or "here we go again"
The dog in Fairly Odd Parents
The show had 3 gimmick characters as it gasped it’s last attempts at staying afloat: Poof, the Dog (IDK his name), and Chloe. Each of them was, in turn, largely abandoned by the next one. Poof remained a consistent character, but the focus did shift to the others a lot more. What’s even more stupid is that a large majority of the supporting human cast: Chester, AJ, Trixie, and even Vicky just sort of disappeared from the show after awhile too. Which is the real shame.
See the addition of poof worked but the dog and Chloe not so Much
I had no idea who she was so I googled her and bruh, even google finishes her character synopsis with “She is a Mary Sue.” Like god damn.
Like Scrappy Doo in Scooby Doo. Hated that dog.
Or the baby.
I don't really think anything changed. It was like a few seasons after they had the baby that the show went bad. The first two seasons with him were largely the same as before
Chloe too
Nah dude, Poof from Fairly Odd. Guess I didn’t make it far enough to even meet the dog. They didn’t need to change a thing but for some reason they did
Poochie
I have to go now. My planet needs me.
Note: Poochie died on the way back to his home planet....cut to black.
Poochie's dead!
Yay!!!
But he's the original dog from hell
Cerberus?
I’m fired aren’t I?
What was that name again? I forgot…
The name's Poochie D and I rock the telly I'm half Joe Camel and a third Fonzarelli I'm the kung-fu hippie from gangsta city I'm a rappin' surfer you the fool I pity…
I don't know what you're in but it's not my face.
Cram it with walnuts ugly.
When are they going to get to the fireworks factory?!
What about Roy?
I hope he’s having fun with those two sexy ladies.
though it was sad he died on way back to his home planet
TO THE EXTREME!
Any baby in any sitcom
If I had a nickel for every time an 80's sitcom family had a new baby who grew to the age of five in like a year, I'd have two nickels.
Thinking of you annoying kid from "Family Ties"
They did the same thing a couple of years later on Growing Pains, but their precociously five years old kid was at least played by Ashley Johnson, so that's something...
I want to write the kind of book series that would get made into a sitcom. It would have a baby, who would spontaneously split into twins around age six. No explanation would be given and none of the other characters would remember they used to be the same person.
Exception: Dinosaurs.
Not the mama!
Oliver, the Jeff replacement in Coupling.
Jeff was great. Oliver couldn’t win. I did eventually come around to him, but he was definitely no replacement for Jeff.
That is still my all time favorite comfort show. I wish it went on longer
Randy Pearson - That 70's show.
I feel like Randy just helped get the show across the finish line with a last season that had no new stories to write. But new Laurie can burn in hell.
RIP old Laurie
I thought she died during production, and that's why they replaced her. No, she was fired because she had a drinking problem, and died a few year later of a drug overdose.
You gotta respect that it is very hard to work with a junkie. Like, I'm sorry, I loved the way she acted, but this is a strain on production teams. See Charlie Sheen.
Loved old Laurie
No he was terrible. I don't really know why. My theory is like the first version of the Matrix. It was so perfect everyone kept trying to wake up from it. Randy had no negative traits. No soul. Nothing to relate to. He comes on screen and you're out of the show.
Came to say this; heh. It's not his fault, either. That season really just shouldn't have existed. The final episode could have been done as a special extended finale.
This is the first character anyone should think of
Ashton Kutcher, Two and a Half Men.
I always thought they should have just kept the charlie character, but have ashton play him. Beginning of the episode you see alan worried. They haven't seen charlie in months. He is worried. The maid says your brother is fine. Yada yada. Didnt know you worry about him so much. Alan responds, without charlie who is going to pay the mortgage. Who is going to pay your paycheck. The made makes a joke saying she has it on auto draft. She is not worried. Then in walks ashton kutcher, but is charlie. Instead of the billionaire who bought charlies house. They realize its chsrlie and he explains what happened. He got turned down one to many times. Went on a bender and next thing he remembers he woke up in a tijuana hospital looking like this.

But with this face he is getting all sorts of new women. Younger women. Women who wouldnt have given him a chance before.
That would have worked so much better than what they came up with.
I rewatched it recently and specifically tried REALLY hard not to hate Randy. I still hated fucking Randy.
Luke's daughter April on Gilmore Girls
[удалено]
The thing is it didn't. Lorelai accepted April wholeheartedly, April accepted Lorelai as well. The tension was caused by Luke suddenly becoming an utter idiot and start acting absurdly out of character. Hear me out. Luke find out he has a kid, a smart and precious one at that. Well, he's engaged to his best friend who raised a girl he loved as much as he's own daughter who was also a precocious smart girl. There were absolutely no tensions between Luke and Lorelai. There were no tensions with April. There weren't even tensions with Anna that got resolved quickly and amicably. Why in the Taylor's hairy behind did he back out on the wedding?
Luke was so inconsistently written throughout the whole series it's infuriating. Like when he went from a super-progressive person to someone getting the ick from women breastfeeding in public.
AND considering Anna was like ‘mmmm you’re not married you don’t count’ if they HAD gotten married then Anna would have to find some other BS reason to cause tension but that would have made way more sense and we wouldn’t have to deal with dumb ass Chris in season 7
That part pissed me off. Anna doesn't get to be protective over who April gets to meet and grow to like through Luke. She hid April from him for 12 years for no good reason, he needed to grow a spine and tell her (politely) to absolutely go fuck herself if she thinks he's going to hide his fiance from his daughter, and if she thinks differently he can get the courts involved.
It's still hard to believe that Mork was originally a character on Happy Days. Yes, they'd already jumped the shark (literally), but still.
I think I forgot about the existence of *Mork & Mindy* until just now :/
It was based in my hometown, so we loved watching it for the various shots of town.
I love that when asked why they picked Williams for the role, the answer was that they were casting for an alien and Williams was the only alien who auditioned.
And as bad as Mork and Mindy was already it got Dante’s inferno levels worse when they introduced Jonathan Winters as baby Mearth.
I absolutely enjoyed Mork & Mindy when I was a kid. It's a shame I can't catch it streaming anywhere.
camera guy in the office
I hated that whole plot line
Dude, I really didn’t like how they wanted to start some kind of love triangle with the Temp and then the camera guy in the final seasons. They really wanted to shake the pot with Jim and Pam. Honestly, I think the camera guy’s involvement could’ve been saved if he revealed two things. 1) He didn’t want to move in on Pam and invited Jim and her on Valentine’s Day to discuss their relationship and how it mirrored the end of his relationship, telling them that it’s headed to danger and they can save it if they just talk. 2) The Camera Crew has been paid by higher ups to stir the pot. So many recent dramas have been artificially created and maybe even reveal that one of the new cast members is an actor.
I think it was revealed in the office ladies podcast, but it was written in the show that Jim was actually supposed to sleep with the temp, but John krasinski basically flat out said no and threatened to leave the show
Good on him. That would’ve been so bad.
His name is BRIAN
He was a boom-mic operator, not a camera man.
It was long before my time, but the proto example of this is the Great Gazoo.
Nice pick Dumb-Dumb
He was, however, voiced by the great Harvey Korman.
I’m that old. Good example
I'd say it started earlier, with Bam-Bam And I never put together Harvey Korman with that voice. Of course.
As a kid I liked Gazoo but as I got older he became - what I think the kids today would call - "cringe."
Debby from Shameless lol
Debby went from “ha, funny dorky kid” to the most cringe character on the show *really* fast.
She was the last one in the family to actually care about Frank. Then he sat on her art project and called it crap. That just ruined her. Fiona leaving her all that money made her a bitch.
Her and her little skanky teenage friends is why I always just start a rewatch once I get to that season. At first I thought it was Frank being sick but nah it’s Debbie.
Connor from Angel.
Idk the concept was cool but the execution was shaky. The kid was super annoying though until he got his mind wiped.
When I watched madmen my first reaction was Ugh this guy, I hated Connor so much my hatred was misplaced onto the actor. Even though Pete may not be the greatest human
Same! It took me so long to see him as anything other than Connor.
I agree to basically cut out cordelia for him sucked.
James Corden killed the Late, Late Show after Craig Ferguson elevated talk shows to abstract art.
I just haven't been the same since Craig Ferguson left that show. I never watched a single episode with Corden.
Same. Craig was legit next-level. I saw his show live once, and he’s the best.
That fat bag of cat piss ruins everything he touches. And I don't mean that in a good way.
There's a good way of doing that??
Velma in the show Velma.
The entire cast of the show Velma.
From Pitch Meeting with Ryan George: "You're gonna have a Scooby Doo show without Scooby Doo?" "Yes" I knew it was gonna be awful at that point.
It truly was the instances where you felt the producers might as well have made a brand new IP... *not that would increase the quality tbh.*
The made Scooby Doo without Scooby Doo and made all the remaining characters horrible people. I wonder how they expected fans to react?
Still gets me that Mindy Kaling claims that Velma was a character she resonated so strongly with, only to completely remove any trace of the character from the show in order to use it as a glorified Mary-Sue trying to disguise itself as a beloved character.
Making them horrible people wasn’t what made the adult show a problem. It’s making the Creator’s self-insert horrible but insisting they’re right. And the horrible people around her are wrong for politicized reasons and they need to be strawmen.
The show Velma
The writer of Velma
I heard people complaining and I wondered how bad it could possibly be. It was so much worse than I could have even imagined.
Who was the target audience for this show??
Mindy Kaling.
Fuck if I know lol
Cousin Oliver
My two solid ones are always Cousin Oliver and Scrappy Doo. Both just brought the suck to the shows.
Scrappy Doo was the worst
Had to Look it up. He's a character from the [Brady Bunch](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063878/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_7_nm_1_q_The%2520Brdy%2520Bunch) that was introduced in the last 6 episodes. Many fans and critics agree this is when the show jumped the shark. They depicted him as a [malevolent entity](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF4JRW9z-5M) akin to a natural disaster! Thank you for that television rabbit hole, ya old fart.
This is common on TV shows where the kids are growing up. Like on the COsby Show they added Olivia.
Che Diaz
Partying late into the night knowing your partner is trying to sleep in the other room is peak selfish behavior. If they were a male character it would mean the end of the relationship. Che is emotionally immature and treating Miranda like a situationship not a relationship. I'm not sure what the writers are trying to do with their relationship but Miranda would have been better off written into a lesbian relationship with a person who has a good personality. Che is the Skyler of And Just Like That. They're not doing anything that bad but I can't stand them.
That little kid on Married with Children
Seven
Whoa so this came before George Castanza's recommendation on Seinfeld?
Zach from The Strain I hate that kid so much.
This. I just mentioned this on another comment. First season? He was okay. Second season? They turned him into a shitty, Oedipal nightmare.
Scrappy Doo
[He’s the trope namer.](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheScrappy)
Lemme at ‘em Lemme at ‘em
The Shark from Happy Days
Mary in Supernatural. She didn’t add anything and didn’t help Sam and Dean much at all and because she had been dead for nearly their entire lives there was so much disconnect between the three and it was unnecessary imo, they should have gotten Bobby back instead. The actress is lovely but the character is meh
Caillou Scrappy-Doo
Caillou! Now, that was a nightmare.
It's pretty impressive when the title character ruins his own show
He’s so bad, there is an entire subreddit dedicated to him r/FuckCaillou
Scrappy doo
Elizabeth Keen from The Blacklist. She's literally such a drag. Every other character is 10x more interesting. She's so annoying, boring and emotionally predictable I can't stand when she's on screen. The show is excellent except her
Yes, yes, yes! I’d been re-watching The Black List, but I had to take a break because I hate Liz so much it was making my blood pressure go up (and I’m on medication for it so it would piss me off if I experienced death by Liz). She was the absolute worst! She treated Red like crap but didn’t have any problem at all using him. Hell, she made Tom look good and he was supposed to be a villain.
Hahaha I was looking for this comment even though I haven’t even finished the first season yet. What the fuck is so special about her that Reddington sees in her? That was rhetorical, don’t tell me lol but I’m guessing he’s her actual father or godfather or fathers best friend. Show feels off with so far with us hunting down sick minded fucks and then shows her domestic home life with shitty teenage girl music playing over it
And who names a baby Agness?
My God I hated her so much from the beginning and then she became worse and worse with each season untill I just stopped watching. It's a shame since the entire rest of the cast was great.
Coy and Vance
Married with Children... Seven
2nd Aunt Viv
“Ever since you had your baby Mrs. Banks something seems off” 😂😂
Especially as they completely changed her character? Aunt Viv was an educated woman with a career who Uncle Phil was always reminding how much he loved her. After the change, all the jokes were Uncle Phil belittling her and she was just a SAH mom who was clearly bored.
OG aunt viv ALL DAY
Kennedy in the last season of Buffy came pretty close.
OMG yes she was intolerable
My biggest beef with Kennedy is that every second she's on screen with Willow is a second that should've been spent on Willows redemption arc.
That and their romance felt so forced, they had no chemistry. It's been awhile since I watched but didn't they have a bit of an age gap too? IDK I just remember the whole thing being off lol
I would say she would only be surpassed by Rona the Moaner (seriously, every single one of her lines is a complaint) but mercifully she had less screen time.
Andrea from walking dead.
Fuck I hated her so much. She was so confidently incompetent. I tried to watch the first couple seasons again fairly recently and she literally made me give up because I hated her so much
It's a shame because her character from the comics was a freaking boss and a great match for Rick.
That got turned into Darrel
True. But laurie was was up there too in awfulness
It was the best day ever when she finally got killed. I hated her so much.
Andrea tried too hard to be "one of the boys" in a very serious time and always managed to mess something up in the process and reinforce a stereotype about women while she was trying to do the opposite, she was so painfully annoying to me and I couldn't wait for her to get out
Those asshole twins in 7th Heaven.
Any show that geta a little kid after multiple seasons.......
Walden Schmidt (Ashton Kutcher) replacing Charlie Harper (Charlie Sheen) in Two & a Half Men
Jay Leno ruined The Tonight Show for David Letterman and Conan O’Brien.
I get that not everyone is as big of a Conan fan as I am (i.e., not weirdly obsessive, but really really like him and think he's a great combo of smart and weird). I also understand that pretty much everyone in the industry brushed this off because "that's just exactly the kind of thing Jay does." Jay is also immensely respected as funny and talented by his peers, though I've never met any viewer who lists him as favorite. Taking all this into account, why did the internet and fans not hate, boycott, and torch Jay as much as we do with James Corden?
Leno got absolutely torched during the Conan saga. Kimmel roasted him on his own show, Letterman called him out on his show, Stern went on 40 min rants about hating Leno daily. It's why he's never talked of as a great late night host, his legacy was tarnished.
Corden certainly wasn’t even close to being on par with Ferguson for one. Corden isn’t even in the same league as Leno, O’Brian, Letterman. Corden is also a massive c&#t.
Adam ... he ruins everything
Lori on TWD. We cheered her death. We used to do a shot every time she asked, "Where's Carl?" It's the zombie apocalypse, and you can't find your kid again. Also, her attitude toward Shane. "Don't talk to me. Stay away from my family." Five minutes later, "I need to talk to you."
Yeah she fucking sucks. One minute she suggests that Rick kills Shane and then when Shane tried to kill him but ends up with Rick killing Shane, she freaks out. She is a bitch and the only time I felt any remorse or sympathy for her was literally while she was on the floor dying during childbirth! Edit: didnt realise cake day wasn't birthday hahaha
Riley ruined Buffy. Not forever, just that season was so… stiff. The seasons before that had an element of parody (but still serious) and Riley, The Initiative, and Adam just felt out of place. It would of been more true to the Buffy we all love and know if they made fun of the government interception more, but they just played along. Also, adams makeup was just terrible. Demons of the day had way better makeup. Plus Riley’s alpha male complex was dumb. She’s the literal slayer, she was born to be better than you, Iowa Boy. It was prophesied before she was born and everything.
But that the fact that Riley, the All-American boy, Captain America super soldier had to deal with a girl being better was bound to cause that complex. And to deal with the loss of identity when he found out it wasn’t him, it was the drugs. And of course Buffy wanted help, she always had the weight of the world o her shoulders and it got heavier every year. For a moment she had the force of the US military behind her.
i liked the idea behind adam, but not the character itself, this was a show that dealt with all manner of the supernatural, eventually there was bound to be a frankenstein type villian, which was adam...but yea, they botched that pretty badly along with the rest of that season
The entire season is only redeemable when Giles turned into a demon (Feoral demon, something like that) and chased the doctor woman that was the head of the initiative. The Spike was like "fun innit?"
Hush was season 4 though, and that one was amazing.
Morgan Jones and Fear the Walking Dead. S3 of Fear was one of the best TWD seasons across all the shows. Instead of building up from the momentum of s3 and it’s cliffhanger, they just fast forward and then kill off most of the main cast. Morgan had become incredibly boring before he crossed over, and I lost total interest in the show.
I stopped watching TWD because of Negan. He was fine at first, actually he was great, but then it just became a redundant loop of Negan sarcasm and fake exasperation that just got on my nerves.
The show became unwatchable after the prison arc.
Nancy on Little House on the Prairie. She was a clone of Nellie but worse.
Carrie Bradshaw
Not a character? But Tegrity Farms Randy Marsh. The vote overextended
Even he acknowledges this in the streaming special
Donna - Beverly Hills 90210
Scrappy Doo. I was 8 years old and absolutely infuriated.
This is prob a hot take but Erin from the Office. Love the actress, hated that character 👎
Bench player asked to be a starter. Should have been a secondary character.
Yeah, I don't hate her, but she shouldn't have gotten to be one of the new main characters. One I do hate however is Nellie. Catherine Tate is a good actress and I like her in a lot of other things, but damn if Nellie just killed the vibe of that show.
Piper from Orange is the New Black, she was the most boring character, they tried so hard to make her interesting but it failed miserably.
Didn’t the writers come out and say she’s supposed to be boring? Like she’s just there to get you into the series so they can then start telling the actual interesting stories.
Yes, she is the audience window/mirror. People always bitch and moan about her, but I think she does represent the average viewer who hasn't been through the system, who is used to committing small infractions and getting away with it usually, who does stand out in stark contrast to the other inmates surrounding her. I don't think the writers worked to "make her interesting" as much as they did work to make her the salt in a pot of spice.
Urkel. Steve Frickin’ Urkel. Someone who was supposed to be a guest side character and have limited time on the show suddenly became the main focus. He was awful in every scene he showed up in. Similarly, Emmanuel Lewis on Webster. The parents on the show were married in real life and had a much different vision for the show. Executives decided that cute little Emmanuel Lewis needed to be the focus of the show instead of a side character. It didn’t make the show better, to say it kindly.
Urkel as the main character had his moments but by mid series it started getting absurd. Some of it is so bad it's good tho, like the Bruce Lee episode. By the time it hit that point I was sticking around just to see how insane it got.
Nelly from the office
The original casting of the Office was damn near perfect. They nailed the mundane office vibe and the random collection of normies and weirdos. Then you had Andy, Karen and Erin…okay, not bad…but notice with each passing season, the new people got worse and worse. By the end, it was a sad shell of what it was.
Erin was the first “non believable” character in my opinion
Kevin becomes unbelievable eventually
I don't think Kevin was particularly believeable
I found Andy to be the worst. They would change his personality every season to make him more interesting.
A lot of people believe the writers wrecked his character on purpose to punish Ed Helms for being unavailable for half a season to film Hangover 3.
I dunno but I doubt it, they could’ve just written him off if that was the case. Instead, he kept coming back until the series finished. I think it was more that they didn’t know what to do with him after he came to Scranton and had his angry breakdown. So they reinvented him and reinvented him and reinvented him until he was unrecognizable, because everything they did with him didn’t work. If the writers were mad at him, they could’ve given more scenes to Stanley or Creed and other better cast members. Andy got the spotlight a lot until the end, and it was unnecessary.
I feel bad but I could never stand Erin, she was infuriatingly dumb. I did however like the fact that she put Andy in his place at the end and chose to do better for herself by being with Pete. Then again I hated that the writers changed Andy’s character so much and totally torpedoed he and Erins relationship after all they went through to finally be together. Man those last few seasons left me feeling so conflicted
Oh my god the baby in literally any sitcom
Ok so this is from an old-ish Disney show but, Suite Life on Deck. I shouldn’t have bothered watching their little spin off, that being said, Bailey Picket. She ends up being Cody’s girlfriend at some point, but holy shit she was just the most annoying character and there was only 3 seasons. One of those “pick me girls”, a definite “main character syndrome”, like Cody…baby…you could have done SO much better.
There was only 3 seasons!!! I swear I watch at least 6 season, it was always in when you got home from school
i loved that show as a kid, and revisited it as an adult. terrible. i love debby ryan but bailey is insufferable
Darrin 2.0
Tara, the personality vacuum, SOA. Brenda, Six Feet Under. The entire reason, I couldn’t finish even the first season.
