My favorite episodes were the ones that spent a lot of time on the supporting cast.

[debm55]

6. I agree with you very much tanyev.

[Mad_Dem_X]

7. I love watching reruns of The Office, but

I can't stand the character of Erin (the receptionist after Pam). She's so goofy and air-headed.

[debm55]

8. Thank you very much Mad_Dem_X and I agree.

[Phoenix61]

9. Star Trek:Next Generation William T. Riker

He was just such an uptight ass.

[debm55]

12. Thank you very much, Phoenix61

10. She did one of those "snob" things of using "I" as the object of a preposition instead of "me".

Has always driven me crazy.

[debm55]

13. I agree with you. Thank you efhmc,

[Rizen]

11. Bernie Mac Show- Bernie Mac.

He's an ultra conservative control freak who's borderline abusive to the kids. He does stuff like take away a 6 year old girl's doll, smack the boy and put secret cameras in the smoke detectors to spy on his family. He did mellow out a bit in season 5 at least.

[debm55]

16. Agree with you Rizen, Left after the first season

[LudwigPastorius]

14. Pierce Hawthorne (Chevy Chase) from Community.

He's just a dick, and apparently Chase didn't have to do much acting to pull that off.

Glad they got rid of that asshole.

[debm55]

17. I agree. I never was a Chevy Chase fan. Thank you, LudwigPastorius

[ProfessorGAC]

15. Easy One For Me

I still watch MASH, but couldn't stand Trapper or Henry.
When MeTV runs their episodes i quit watching until BJ & Potter got there.

[debm55]

19. Thank you very much ProfessorGAC, I could tolerate Trapper, but didn't care for Henry.

[JoseBalow]

18. I loved M*A*S*H

I never liked Frank Burns

[debm55]

20. Thank you JoseBalow. The two I didn't like were Frank and Henry.

27. He was SUPPOSED to be the Bad Guy...

…so I don’t think that counts, since most villains are supposed to be unlikable. I think the original question was more like which character that was supposed to be sympathetic did you find unlikeable?

[Norrrm]

21. Some characters are designed to be disliked. George on Seinfeld.

[debm55]

22. Thanks Norrm. That's very true.

[Dorothy V]

23. I love the show Bones! But ...

Bones herself often rubs me the wrong way. Her insistence in her own superiority can get infuriating.

[debm55]

24. Thank you Dorothy V. And I agree with you.

[nuxvomica]

25. Jim on The Office

A smug and conniving little mind-game player.

[debm55]

31. HAHAHAHAHAHHA. Thank you nuxvomica.

[regnaD kciN]

26. All six of the principles on Friends...

…the show was fun, but they were each intolerable.

[debm55]

30. Thank you regnaD kciN.

28. Julie on The Love Boat

with Vicki a close second. Julie was such a Little Miss Perfect goody two-shoes and Vicki was annoying. She was cute, but annoying. I think they were trying to make her into a mini-Julie.

I never watched The Love Boat when it was on because I worked nights. I only saw it years later in reruns. I didn't love the show, but I watched it because I like cruising and I would get a kick out of seeing some of the guest stars when they were just starting out.

[debm55]

29. Agree with both of them. Thank you MIButterfly.

[Ziggysmom]

32. Molly from Mike & Molly was overplayed and not funny to me. Loved Mike, Nana, Carl and

the others.

[Archae]

33. On Happy Days, Ralph Malph and Chaci.

They were just plain annoying.

[LogDog75]

34. Diane Chambers was someone trying to be someone they're not

Diane Chambers was middle-class and, although graduating from college, was a pretentious intellectual. She reminds me of Hyacinth Bucket from the British TV program Keeping Up Appearances. Hyacinth was born into a working class family, married a man who was middle class, and thought of herself as being upper middle class. She pronounced her married last name as "Bouquet" because "Bucket was too common.

Diane Chambers is the same as Hyacinth Bucket in that she she pretends and believes she's someone above everyone else..

What make for good comedy in both characters is when they get knocked down when they try to show their superiority over others.

[some_of_us_are_sane]

35. Absolutely LogDog75!

That's EXACTLY why I was always annoyed by Diane. Her badly hidden snobbery without any real basis.
