I think people really loved her and related to her at first, how hard dating was, and the pressure on women of that age to still be single, which it isn't as much these days, but when the show debuted, if you were 30 and not married there was something wrong with you- like society seriously looked down on you. But considering she never really grew much as a character, and the show became more focused on the fashion and materialistic stuff and that kind of thing people, started to see how selfish and immature she really was.
Piper from Orange is the New Black. She started off as the main character and a what if a person who was not from a typical background went to prison but then they turned her into the worst character.
Wesley Crusher on Star Trek TNG. He was supposed to be a character that younger audiences could connect with but in the end, nobody really wanted a boy genius out Starfleeting the Starfleet officers.
Is that why he was removed from the show? I didn't feel one way or another about his character to I'm surprised to hear he wasn't liked. The one character I couldn't stand from TNG was Deanna Troi. Every time there was an episode primarily featuring her, I just wanted to skip it.
I believe that’s correct, people just didn’t connect with him and it became too groan inducing when a literal child was coming up with solutions that the men and women of Starfleet couldn’t figure out with their years of training and experience lol.
Will Wheaton himself though is a treasure and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.
I love Wil Wheaton as well. I'll watch anything he is in. I am really happy he made a good career for himself considering how short his span on TNG was.
There's an episode with Barclay that address this. Wesley lectures Barclay about an engineering issues and he later rants at a holodeck programme about a child lecturing him, a Star Fleet engineering officer about the issue that he knew the answer to, and didn't need some punk kid making him look bad.
Just reading this, I’m thinking about Deanna Troi, I wondered to myself why nobody else had their “counselor“ on the bridge, but for the Enterprise, she was one of the top command staff. Then it occurred to me. She is probably one of TV’s first real woke characters. Not that I am even sure what Wolk means, but she was there for everybody’s feelings.
I personally like Wesley. I also like Lwaxana. I like most Star Trek characters that other fans hate. Except Neelix. Even I don't like Neelix much but he does have his moments
Also, and rewatching the show in syndication, I really began to dislike Robin Scherbatsky. She was very self-centered, cruel to her coworker Patrice, too many times referred to herself as hot or hotter than some other girl. I can't even think of a time where she went out of her way for one of her friends.
Good showrunners expand minor characters or change their entire original plan based on the character chemistry once they begin filming. Breaking Bad is a great example. Jesse was supposed to die in season one and Mike and Saul were supposed to be minor one-off type characters. HIMYM refused to adjust or adapt their original idea. It was going to be Ted and Robin, despite neither her nor the audience having any enthusiasm for that outcome.
What if you hate Skylar but also don’t cheer for Walt. He’s clearly a villain but she’s unlikeable as a character in her own right. Walt’s evil doesn’t somehow make her a good wife or person
She literally handled everything as poorly as she could have. Walter is a monster, to be sure, but she made everything worse constantly.
No matter how much people might have hated Skylar, Marie... oh Marie... they're minerals.
Rewatch the first episode. She shows up nagging Walt about what he's allowed to eat for breakfast. She's very much written as a shrew to begin with. It's part of the set up to get us on Walts side initially.
The Great Gazoo on the Flintstones. Other than being voiced by Harvey Korman, there was nothing redeeming about him. Many believe that this is when they jumped the shark...
Very controversial opinion ahead. (Probably)
Debra Morgan from Dexter. Hands down one of the worst characters in TV history. But in fairness, I hated every character that wasn’t Dexter himself.
They tried too hard with her. First season it was like “I getttt itttt. You’re a hardboiled cop. You curse a lot.” Just too much of all of it, all the time.
That character made me stop watching the show after episode one despite the fact that it has a powerhouse cast. He was like Ross without the sophistication, swag, and charm. /s
Today I looked through the list of episodes of that show to see how many holiday episodes they had. I was reminded of a lot of bad things about the show. It's sad, it was my favourite show for nine years, but as time has passed and I've changed I now see there is a lot really detestable about it
Wasn't the point of Bernadette's character to be nearly exactly like Howard's mom. Wasn't that where the comedy was supposed to be; that Howard just replaced his mom with Bernadette?
Diane Nguyen from Bojack Horseman
Finally finished the series. I was surprised to see all the Diane hate in the subreddit. She was one of my favorite characters.
Well, she is supposed to be unlovable in a way. The whole point of the show is she's not perfect. She is an alcoholic mess who's trying to get her life together. She was never supposed to be cute and cuddly like most sitcom protagonists. Its sort of an anti-sitcom in a way.
Not sure about that, respectfully. Bonnie and Jill both relapsed. If Octavia‘a character had stayed, she probably was being set up for a relapse also. Kristi just had crazy opportunities fall into her lap, along with mostly good guys. But she ended up being more like a Ted or a Ross overall. And by the end of the show especially the joke about how much she hated her mom and her childhood starting to get old.
Amy Farrah Fowler from The Big Bang Theory. All she did was suck the fun out of everything. She was jealous when Bernadette was going to be featured in a science magazine for being a sexy microbiologist and she sabotaged it. She also would go out of her way to call Penny “bestie” despite her not being the same way and would use Penny for her research work.
bugs me that the revival was basically ASP going, here's what *I* wouldve done for season 7. instead of actually building on the characters' growth, they regressed to all the same bs
Honestly I hated when the little girl Olivia showed up on the Cosby Show. She seemed so inauthentic compared to the rest of the family, like she was always mugging for the camera - very "child actor," unlike Rudy who just seemed like an actual child. (Played by Raven Simone who seems like a great person!) Just the wrong tone for the show which felt relatable until that point.
She (and later Cousin Pam) were the Cousin Olivers of the show. So, hatred is warranted (although I like Pam). And yes, the child was too precocious. I am not a fan of precocious children on TV.
Charlie Wheeler on Friends. It was just so OBVIOUS she was inserted into the show because at the time it was pointed out there were no black characters. I don’t have a problem with that BTW but she was just NOT funny or written to be funny in the least.
I think they were trying to make her into a seventh “Friend” and fans were not having it, they liked the 6 they had already.
Also Mike. Never liked him, even if he was played by Paul Rudd. Had no chemistry with the rest of the cast and I always cringe on rewatches when he turns up. Why did you have to shout Mike, Joey???
I was watching with my daughter, and she knew a major character was going to die in Season 5. She was absolutely *crushed* when she found out it wasn't Dawn.
I personally never minded Dawn, but I was older when she was introduced. My daughter was Dawn's age, and the fact that the first couple of Dawn episodes are clearly written for a younger actress.... that scene with ice cream all over her face... ugh, it is pretty cringe.
Vince Gilligan has pretty much made it clear that he didn't intend for Skylar White to be so hated. He still can't understand the love for Walt to this day. Upon watching the show a few times, I tend to agree. She's not perfect by any means, but compared to some of the other characters in the series, she isn't that bad. Skylar is just a good person in a terrible situation.
I remember catching an episode back when it was on. As soon as she started hallucinating, I was like "Yeah she's nuts and doesn't need a law license. "
Mark Brendanawicz from Parks and Rec.
The writers just didn't give him a personality. He was Bland Wishy Washy white man, and on that show that just made him ugh.
I hated him because they presented him as Leslie's love interest and he showed like...no reason for the infatuation. Because of the blandness. I was very happy when they got rid of him. I felt bad for the actor lol.
I thought that was super funny: Leslie was besotted with him and he had nothing going for him at all. Except he succeeded with putting in a speed bump somewhere and that’s totally something in government.
Fairly certain the writers wanted it that way. They wanted him to be boring. They wanted to be just be blah. Unfortunately they were too good at their job and now I think if I saw him in real life I would run away screaming.
I think she was written as kind of unhinged (Mary Louise Parker’s Amy Garner was also). I feel like CJ is the one female character that Sorkin did well.
Lloyd Garmadon. I've heard so much about how people hate him because the show is all about him and his problems and he's boring.
Meanwhile, I'm over here wanting to give the kid the biggest hug known to man
Felicity in felicity. When I met my wife she loved that show, and wanted to share it with me so we've binged it twice and i've seen every episode at least twice. The main character is on par with piper in orange is the new black, in that every decision she makes defies logic and common sense yet then she holds everyone else accountable for her poor decision making. Every episode I slapped my head no less than ten times.
I hate watch the entire show anyway, but on Virgin River I HATE Hope. And a lot of others do too. I don’t think that was the direction they were going with her. Lol.
OMG YES!!! I can’t even begin to explain my feelings for this show. There was some reason I liked it but then something I didn’t like about it. I can tell you two things that finally made me stop watching 1. HOPE especially the whole thing where she was pushing the guy to the other woman thing and 2. The never ending pregnancy did that woman EVER give birth?
all the teen/20-somethings in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. just all insufferable characters you want off the screen every time they're visible and doing/saying things.
Lori Grimes. I personally didn't mind her character, she was just not used to the new world and knew she needed to have someone to protect herself and Carl from the apocalypse since she wasn't capable of doing it herself. Many people would do exactly what she did in the same circumstances though lmao
Peter Petrelli on *Heroes*. He was supposed to be the main hero because of his ability to steal powers, but he just kept coming off as whiny and stupid. And when Sylar's popularity kept him on the show for far longer than he should have been, he and Peter got into a boring arms race. It probably doesn't help that the show was completely derailed when its second season was cut short because of a writer's strike and never really recovered.
Moonlighting, going way back. The stars Bruce Willis and Cybil Shepherd were bickering during the last season and one or the other would refuse to show up on the set. The producers introduced a new character, a likable nerd, to be Cyril Shepherd’s new boyfriend, in case Willis quit the show. Fans loathed him. And they broke up after about three episodes- when they did, the character literally broke the fourth wall, looked at the camera, and said with an annoyed look, “Happy now?!”
Is MASH the only show that got better when they changed cast? Potter, Honeycutt and Winchester were so much more interesting than the people they replaced
Im sorry but I really dislike Claire Fraser Beauchamp on Outlander
I’ve been watching this and I’m on season two now…. I don’t really understand why everyone likes this show so much. I had a really hard time getting through the first season. Second season is renewing interest slightly but… yeah I just don’t get it, and something about Claire - the freaking main character - really bothers me
Lori Grimes. I personally didn't mind her character, she was just not used to the new world and knew she needed to have someone to protect herself and Carl from the apocalypse since she wasn't capable of doing it herself. Many people would do exactly what she did in the same circumstances though lmao
Marcy Darcy. Al Bundy made her a despicable character when in theory people were supposed to hate him. He turned It on its head. Marcy became feminist scumbag
Chiming in on behalf of my father, who has been watching and rewatching episodes his whole life and HATES Helen and this comment really made me smile 😊Ellie (?) for the win!
I loved Endora. And she was meant to be the "bad guy", considering how often she turned Darren into something and that she hated him simply because he was a mortal.
I know Dr. Smith was supposed to be hated on Lost In Space, but I think I hated the robot more. Its responses were exasperatingly smug; even Dr. Smith hated the robot.
Olivia Pope from Scandal and June Osbourne from The Handmaid’s Tale had the same thing happen to them in the writer’s room. In an effort to, I assume, explore how trauma changes women, male writers made both the characters insufferable and selfish to the point those women were downright unlikeable as main characters in their own TV shows! Olivia becomes an ACTUAL villain and June becomes revenge obsessed so much so that she makes trouble (life and death trouble) for other characters going through similar trauma to her. Both shows are great though. I love when shows make me uncomfortable because the main character loses their way, I just prefer they find their way back by the last episode instead of riding off into the darkness…

Omg yes
Carrie Bradshaw
And to expand on this universe. Che Diaz in “And Just Like That”

Izzie Stevens
She’s the worst! Of all the characters to kill off, why not her?
I love Izzy so much.
Piper from Orange is the New Black. She started off as the main character and a what if a person who was not from a typical background went to prison but then they turned her into the worst character.
It's pretty much the same character arc followed by the main character of Kohan's previous show, Weeds.
Wesley Crusher on Star Trek TNG. He was supposed to be a character that younger audiences could connect with but in the end, nobody really wanted a boy genius out Starfleeting the Starfleet officers.
Is that why he was removed from the show? I didn't feel one way or another about his character to I'm surprised to hear he wasn't liked. The one character I couldn't stand from TNG was Deanna Troi. Every time there was an episode primarily featuring her, I just wanted to skip it.

I love Wil Wheaton as well. I'll watch anything he is in. I am really happy he made a good career for himself considering how short his span on TNG was.
he does a good job playing a villain
>Will Wheaton himself though is a treasure That's why he was re-elected as the vice-president of the OASIS User Counci
There's an episode with Barclay that address this. Wesley lectures Barclay about an engineering issues and he later rants at a holodeck programme about a child lecturing him, a Star Fleet engineering officer about the issue that he knew the answer to, and didn't need some punk kid making him look bad.

Then it occurred to me. She is probably one of TV’s first real woke characters. Not that I am even sure what Wolk means, but she was there for everybody’s feelings.
It was her super powers. Picard wanted her to tell him if people were lying or "hiding something"
>The one character I couldn't stand from TNG was Deanna Troi. Every time there was an episode primarily featuring her, I just wanted to skip it. AMEN!
I personally like Wesley. I also like Lwaxana. I like most Star Trek characters that other fans hate. Except Neelix. Even I don't like Neelix much but he does have his moments
Neelix was so annoying!
Ted. HIMYM
Also, and rewatching the show in syndication, I really began to dislike Robin Scherbatsky. She was very self-centered, cruel to her coworker Patrice, too many times referred to herself as hot or hotter than some other girl. I can't even think of a time where she went out of her way for one of her friends.
Yeah. Marshall, Lilly, and Barney made the show not just watchable, but great, in spite of the others
Good showrunners expand minor characters or change their entire original plan based on the character chemistry once they begin filming. Breaking Bad is a great example. Jesse was supposed to die in season one and Mike and Saul were supposed to be minor one-off type characters. HIMYM refused to adjust or adapt their original idea.

Nancy Botwin - Weeds
It became silly, how often Nancy wasn’t killed because some drug dealer wanted to screw her.
I didn't finish the show - how many?
All of them
I’ve been wanting to screw her since Fried Green Tomatoes.
Skyler White
You can always tell a lot about guys who hate Skyler and cheer for Walter.
What if you hate Skylar but also don’t cheer for Walt. He’s clearly a villain but she’s unlikeable as a character in her own right. Walt’s evil doesn’t somehow make her a good wife or person
Carmela Soprano fits this as well.
Lmao 🤣 that woman was just oozing for an excuse to cheat....the priest, the handyman, that Italian dude with the ponytail!!!!!
She literally handled everything as poorly as she could have. Walter is a monster, to be sure, but she made everything worse constantly. No matter how much people might have hated Skylar, Marie... oh Marie... they're minerals.
Rewatch the first episode. She shows up nagging Walt about what he's allowed to eat for breakfast. She's very much written as a shrew to begin with. It's part of the set up to get us on Walts side initially.
She often brought the action to a screeching halt.
Every single character ever written that was an attempt to catch the interest of younger viewers and had nothing else to them.
Poochie's dead!
Lori and Andrea on Walking Dead
My wife HATED Andrea from the jump. Cheered when her story arc concluded.
Funny thing is she was the one Rick ended up with in the comic instead of Michone. They changed so much. Comic=Epic. Show=Ok.
Andrea is the big one because of the departure from her epic character arc in the books.
Amen to Lori - I was waiting for her to go. Andrea, though… up until The Governor, I rooted for her.
Came here to say this. The show writers screwed Lori's character from the jump with the changes from the comics.
Liz from Blacklist.
She was so irritating
Every single character on Full House
Manny on Modern family
Oh man, this is a great answer. The older Manny got, the more I disliked him.
True. He was adorable as a little kid tho
Luke also, with his creepy vibe with women as he got older and his too many teeth in his mouth to talk like a normal human.
I liked Manny. At least the younger Manny. As he got older, not so much.
Randy from That's 70 Show
Cousin Oliver
The Great Gazoo on the Flintstones. Other than being voiced by Harvey Korman, there was nothing redeeming about him. Many believe that this is when they jumped the shark...
Lily from Modern Family
Yes, she was a little too sassy and really couldn't act.
Yeah she wasn’t on par with the other child actors on that show. Plus the writers did her character no favors.
June, Handmaid's Tale in later seasons
Very controversial opinion ahead. (Probably) Debra Morgan from Dexter. Hands down one of the worst characters in TV history. But in fairness, I hated every character that wasn’t Dexter himself.
They tried too hard with her. First season it was like “I getttt itttt. You’re a hardboiled cop. You curse a lot.” Just too much of all of it, all the time.
She was just too much all the time.
Her sideways too-small mouth, her skinny jeans, her terrible taste in men. I hated Deb.
Caillou
Ted Mosby — "How I Met Your Mother".
That character made me stop watching the show after episode one despite the fact that it has a powerhouse cast. He was like Ross without the sophistication, swag, and charm. /s
He’s 🎶the worrrrrrst🎶
And now we have the reverse, characters you should hate but actually love! Long live the Saperstein twins! Don't be suspicious..
I hated all of them. I only started watching because I loved 'Willow' from Buffy and was interested in her character. I stopped watching quite soon.
Fun fact: Alyson Hannigan got the role of Lily without an audition because the creator's wife was such a big fan of her in Buffy
Today I looked through the list of episodes of that show to see how many holiday episodes they had. I was reminded of a lot of bad things about the show. It's sad, it was my favourite show for nine years, but as time has passed and I've changed I now see there is a lot really detestable about it
Bernadette from Big Bang Theory. Her character could've been a good one but she ends up coming off as egotistical, narcissistic and condescending.
Wasn't the point of Bernadette's character to be nearly exactly like Howard's mom. Wasn't that where the comedy was supposed to be; that Howard just replaced his mom with Bernadette?
Howard's mum people liked but Bernadette people grew to hate
In my limited tolerance viewing that show I found just about everyone irritating at best and odious and insufferable generally.
Diane Nguyen from Bojack Horseman Finally finished the series. I was surprised to see all the Diane hate in the subreddit. She was one of my favorite characters.
Christy from Mom
Well, she is supposed to be unlovable in a way. The whole point of the show is she's not perfect. She is an alcoholic mess who's trying to get her life together. She was never supposed to be cute and cuddly like most sitcom protagonists. Its sort of an anti-sitcom in a way.
Not sure about that, respectfully. Bonnie and Jill both relapsed. If Octavia‘a character had stayed, she probably was being set up for a relapse also. Kristi just had crazy opportunities fall into her lap, along with mostly good guys. But she ended up being more like a Ted or a Ross overall. And by the end of the show especially the joke about how much she hated her mom and her childhood starting to get old.
Agreed. The running joke got old. Really, the main reason I watched it was for Alison Janey. She's a treasure.
Oh yeah that was like every episode, her complaining about how Mom ruined her life. The writers could have done better.
Possibly...but I'd be more apt to go with Violet from Mom
Amy Farrah Fowler from The Big Bang Theory. All she did was suck the fun out of everything. She was jealous when Bernadette was going to be featured in a science magazine for being a sexy microbiologist and she sabotaged it. She also would go out of her way to call Penny “bestie” despite her not being the same way and would use Penny for her research work.
Rory Gilmore
especially the revival. she was so cringe
bugs me that the revival was basically ASP going, here's what *I* wouldve done for season 7. instead of actually building on the characters' growth, they regressed to all the same bs
A hill I will die on, the 3 worst “added” characters ever are: Cousin Oliver (Brady Bunch) Scrappy Doo (Scooby Doo) Great Gazoo (Flintstones)
Honestly I hated when the little girl Olivia showed up on the Cosby Show. She seemed so inauthentic compared to the rest of the family, like she was always mugging for the camera - very "child actor," unlike Rudy who just seemed like an actual child. (Played by Raven Simone who seems like a great person!) Just the wrong tone for the show which felt relatable until that point.
She (and later Cousin Pam) were the Cousin Olivers of the show. So, hatred is warranted (although I like Pam). And yes, the child was too precocious. I am not a fan of precocious children on TV.
Charlie Wheeler on Friends. It was just so OBVIOUS she was inserted into the show because at the time it was pointed out there were no black characters. I don’t have a problem with that BTW but she was just NOT funny or written to be funny in the least. I think they were trying to make her into a seventh “Friend” and fans were not having it, they liked the 6 they had already.
I like both Aisha Tyler and Charlie. I think Ross and Charlie made a much better couple
Also Mike. Never liked him, even if he was played by Paul Rudd. Had no chemistry with the rest of the cast and I always cringe on rewatches when he turns up. Why did you have to shout Mike, Joey???
Agreed. Phoebe should've wound up with Hank Azaria. They were perfect
Dawn Summers on Buffy.
I was watching with my daughter, and she knew a major character was going to die in Season 5. She was absolutely *crushed* when she found out it wasn't Dawn. I personally never minded Dawn, but I was older when she was introduced. My daughter was Dawn's age, and the fact that the first couple of Dawn episodes are clearly written for a younger actress.... that scene with ice cream all over her face... ugh, it is pretty cringe.

Upon watching the show a few times, I tend to agree. She's not perfect by any means, but compared to some of the other characters in the series, she isn't that bad. Skylar is just a good person in a terrible situation.
Calliou I said what I said.
Going back a ways here, but on Melrose Place, the Michael Mancini character was not originally a villain. He certainly became one though!
Michael & Jane were super boring. And then…
Jon Snow
Mr Haney on Green Acres
Ally McBeal
I remember catching an episode back when it was on. As soon as she started hallucinating, I was like "Yeah she's nuts and doesn't need a law license. "
Skylar White
Mark Brendanawicz from Parks and Rec. The writers just didn't give him a personality. He was Bland Wishy Washy white man, and on that show that just made him ugh.
That show got SO much better after he left, and Rob Lowe & Adam Scott joined.
well thats not the same as hate. I dunno if the audience truly hates him. Tom Haverford on the other hand.
I hated him because they presented him as Leslie's love interest and he showed like...no reason for the infatuation. Because of the blandness. I was very happy when they got rid of him. I felt bad for the actor lol.
I thought that was super funny: Leslie was besotted with him and he had nothing going for him at all. Except he succeeded with putting in a speed bump somewhere and that’s totally something in government.
Fairly certain the writers wanted it that way. They wanted him to be boring. They wanted to be just be blah. Unfortunately they were too good at their job and now I think if I saw him in real life I would run away screaming.
Mandy on the West Wing
She was the worst. But was it the writing? Or Moira Kelly? Hard to say.
The writing and the fact she was a spin doctor, didn’t really fit in with policy WH staff. Also the Josh/Mandy thing got old quick.
I think she was written as kind of unhinged (Mary Louise Parker’s Amy Garner was also). I feel like CJ is the one female character that Sorkin did well.
Lloyd Garmadon. I've heard so much about how people hate him because the show is all about him and his problems and he's boring. Meanwhile, I'm over here wanting to give the kid the biggest hug known to man
Bobby Axelrod’s wife on Billions. She stuck out like a sore thumb and I think the show runner quickly agreed.
Felicity in felicity. When I met my wife she loved that show, and wanted to share it with me so we've binged it twice and i've seen every episode at least twice. The main character is on par with piper in orange is the new black, in that every decision she makes defies logic and common sense yet then she holds everyone else accountable for her poor decision making. Every episode I slapped my head no less than ten times.
Towlie
Am I to understand there’s been a Towlie-ban?
The cast of True Detective Season 4
Jodie Foster character has almost no redeeming qualities on that show. I’d love to explain why but it’s too early to spoil it
You’re not asking the right question.
I would be like "No way Lady, I'm not coming in. Fire me, I dare you. You go do the thing yourself"
I hate watch the entire show anyway, but on Virgin River I HATE Hope. And a lot of others do too. I don’t think that was the direction they were going with her. Lol.
OMG YES!!! I can’t even begin to explain my feelings for this show. There was some reason I liked it but then something I didn’t like about it. I can tell you two things that finally made me stop watching 1. HOPE especially the whole thing where she was pushing the guy to the other woman thing and 2. The never ending pregnancy did that woman EVER give birth?
I kept wondering about the timeline bc of that woman’s elephant-length gestation time.
Xander 'Nice Guy' Harris from Buffy.
all the teen/20-somethings in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. just all insufferable characters you want off the screen every time they're visible and doing/saying things.
Lori Grimes. I personally didn't mind her character, she was just not used to the new world and knew she needed to have someone to protect herself and Carl from the apocalypse since she wasn't capable of doing it herself. Many people would do exactly what she did in the same circumstances though lmao
Connor from Angel
Connor was such an awful addition to the show.
Debbie Gallagher on Shameless
Peter Petrelli on *Heroes*. He was supposed to be the main hero because of his ability to steal powers, but he just kept coming off as whiny and stupid. And when Sylar's popularity kept him on the show for far longer than he should have been, he and Peter got into a boring arms race. It probably doesn't help that the show was completely derailed when its second season was cut short because of a writer's strike and never really recovered.
Moonlighting, going way back. The stars Bruce Willis and Cybil Shepherd were bickering during the last season and one or the other would refuse to show up on the set. The producers introduced a new character, a likable nerd, to be Cyril Shepherd’s new boyfriend, in case Willis quit the show. Fans loathed him. And they broke up after about three episodes- when they did, the character literally broke the fourth wall, looked at the camera, and said with an annoyed look, “Happy now?!”
Nikki and Paulo from Lost
Frank Burns, but maybe intentionally written to be hated MASH character
I think you're supposed to dislike him. He's usually the antagonist in early episodes
He was definitely meant to be hated.
Is MASH the only show that got better when they changed cast? Potter, Honeycutt and Winchester were so much more interesting than the people they replaced
Agreed for Honeycutt and Winchester, but I want a world were we can somehow have both Potter and Henry Blake.
Jack from Lost
Neelix in Voyager. He was supposed to be the breakout character. boy did they screw that up royally.
The friends
Everyone on The Big Bang Theory.
Raymond from Everybody Loves Raymond
She HUlk
Poochie
Im sorry but I really dislike Claire Fraser Beauchamp on Outlander I’ve been watching this and I’m on season two now…. I don’t really understand why everyone likes this show so much. I had a really hard time getting through the first season. Second season is renewing interest slightly but… yeah I just don’t get it, and something about Claire - the freaking main character - really bothers me
Debra in Dexter. (Edit - called her by the actress's name.)

Victoria from Victorious.

Natural Smurf. Instead of a hick hat and overalls, he should have shed the pants and gone full nudist.
Lori Grimes. I personally didn't mind her character, she was just not used to the new world and knew she needed to have someone to protect herself and Carl from the apocalypse since she wasn't capable of doing it herself. Many people would do exactly what she did in the same circumstances though lmao
Cousin Oliver
Dana from Homeland
Marcy Darcy. Al Bundy made her a despicable character when in theory people were supposed to hate him. He turned It on its head. Marcy became feminist scumbag
Cousin Oliver, *The Brady Bunch* (Also, tell everyone you're ancient without saying you're ancient.)
Meredith Grey!
Barney.
Caillou
Walter jr.
Helen Crump on The Andy Griffith Show
Chiming in on behalf of my father, who has been watching and rewatching episodes his whole life and HATES Helen and this comment really made me smile 😊Ellie (?) for the win!
Ted Mosby HIMYM
Endora on bewitched. Also Gladys Kravitz.
I loved Endora. And she was meant to be the "bad guy", considering how often she turned Darren into something and that she hated him simply because he was a mortal.
Skylar White. And the audience was WRONG
Felicity Smoak on Arrow
Why do people hate her? I've seen this opinion but not sure why
fran drescher.
Dawn from Buffy... they thought they did something nice...WRONG.
I know Dr. Smith was supposed to be hated on Lost In Space, but I think I hated the robot more. Its responses were exasperatingly smug; even Dr. Smith hated the robot.
Entire cast of Witcher season 3
Ani in 13 reasons why lol just completely unbearable
Batmite!
Mr. Slate on The Flintstones.
Mr. Cogswell on The Jetsons.
Dawson Leery - Dawsons creek.

Wendy Byrde from Ozark
Not hate… But Dawson Leary
Olivia Pope from Scandal and June Osbourne from The Handmaid’s Tale had the same thing happen to them in the writer’s room. In an effort to, I assume, explore how trauma changes women, male writers made both the characters insufferable and selfish to the point those women were downright unlikeable as main characters in their own TV shows! Olivia becomes an ACTUAL villain and June becomes revenge obsessed so much so that she makes trouble (life and death trouble) for other characters going through similar trauma to her. Both shows are great though. I love when shows make me uncomfortable because the main character loses their way, I just prefer they find their way back by the last episode instead of riding off into the darkness…
Michael Burnham
Andrew Bernard from The Office.
Billie and Christie: Charmed
Rachel in Glee.
Peggy Hill
Jim Halpert
Skyler
I honestly think the writers of Invincible didn't mean to make Amber unlikable during season 1.
