Mama's Family-Bubba, the Woody Boyd knockoff

Murphy Brown-Lily Tomlin's character that replaced Miles

NewsRadio-They should've got someone of a higher profile. Lovitz isn't bad, but they could've and should've got someone better.

I think the worst cast addition ever was Seven in 'Married with children'.

I don't really have anything against him. I was just alluding to the on-going joke that he's known as the actor that joins series' late in their run! :lol: Actually his addition on MWC worked well.

I disagree about Bubba on Mama's Family. I think he and Iola helped improve the show.

Yeah, I know that's a common thought, but I actually liked Lily Tomlin as Kay Carter-Shepley.

Actually his addition on MWC worked well.

I agree. Plus, one can't really put Ted as the reason in regards to MWC, since he was there for 6 and 1/2 of its 11 seasons, when that little turd S*v*n (already mentioned, I see. Good!) showed up for absolutely no reason AT ALL.

The Love Boat was already starting to sink before he came.

He helped make MWC even more fun for 6 1/2 years and at least he wasn't nowhere near poorly recepted as much as the little booger named Seven was and thankfully Seven was gone after his lone season.

All cast additions made, including Ted McGinley, after Ron Howard left - Happy Days

Bob Saget, John Stamos, and Dave Coulier - Full House:

They were added in the first episode so that should tell you what I think of them and their stupid show.

On Andy Griffith Show, I didn't mind Howard, but I could not stand Emmett or Warren. I also like Andy's girlfriends earlier in the show's run, but I hated Helen Grump.

B.J. Hunnicutt from MASH owns this thread....the most unfunny character ever on a sitcom.

Donna Reed on Dallas... no matter how hard she tried, she simply was never going to be Ms. Ellie.

I don't know how Randall Carver can be a "worst cast addition" on Taxi....he was an original cast member.

John Denver who played Cousin Oliver on the Brady Bunch.

John Denver didn't play Oliver. That was Robbie Rist. And yes he was a bad addition to TBB.

Bronson Pinchot doing another accent on Step By Step (I stopped watching seasons earlier but from what I've seen in reruns the show was on life support)

Full House - Nicky and Alex (the little boys who played them looked nothing like Jesse or Rebecca and I could barely understand them most of the time. People give the Olsen twins a lot of unnecessary crap but they're outstanding compared to those little boys)

Diff'rent Strokes - Sam

That '70s Show - Randy

Family Matters - 3J

Married...With Children - Seven

Designing Women - Alison Sugarbaker

Murphy Brown - McGovern (she was a parody of the conservative MTV VJ Kennedy). Thankfully she didn't last long and she was definitely a product of the early 90's.

Growing Pains. The homeless runaway Luke played by a teenage Leonardo DiCaprio (The role where most people would've seen him for the first time) he added absolutely nothing to the show, OK so I don't like him anyways but whatever. The youngest of Jason and Maggie's children Chrissy. I had nothing against them having another child but I just didn't really like the actress who played her whose name of course I can't remember right now.

In the later seasons of Newhart when they brought on the brothers Larry, Darryl, and Daryl I couldn't stand them at all. They were all really stupid and pointless.

George Clooney on the Facts of Life. He was useless and only added him because some folks couldn't handle that a man wasn't part of the main cast. Jo was more of a man than he ever was anyway.
