In other words, you actually enjoyed the supposed "Scrappy" (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheScrappy) of a TV show despite what the majority may otherwise, try to lead you to believe.

So, to qualify, based upon the criteria you link to, they must be "unintentionally hated by everybody else" and the further qualified by your criteria of "but I like them"?

That's a pretty tall order to fill, how am I supposed to know that others "unintentionally" hate them? Especially considering how seldom there is consensus here about anything.

Per the linked criteria, it can't be a character that was intended to be disliked, but per you it has to also be someone who despite everybody else taking an unintentional disliking to, ,...I've found them likable (which is what is intended by the script)?

think the closest that I can come is Ben Weaver on TAGS and Major Hochstedter on Hogans heroes...but I think those characters were supposed to be reviled, so they probably are disqualified?

Maybe Amos McCoy on the real McCoys, but I'm kinda at a loss if he was SUPPOSED to be hated for his fussiness? hard to say.

Maybe some of the guest roles that Allan Melvin plays,...but again I think his characters are intended to be the antagonist, so they probably get disqualified too?

That "hated by mistake by everyone else" is a tough hurdle to clear.

I'm not much of a Hogan fan, but Hockstetter and Burkhalter were funny additions, but probably disliked by many.

On Diff'rent Strokes many panned Maggie and Sam, but I thought adding a wife and stepson for Philip was a good idea.

Most people probably dislike Marie Barone, but I think she was good on Raymond. Ditto for Mother Jefferson on The Jeffersons.

I like Helen on TAGS. I know quite a lot of fans seem to dislike her. But I don't think she's a "Scrappy" at all.

Here's my best offering: Harold J. Stone played a slew of characters, both drama as well as sitcoms, where he was this intolerant, thick headed "old world" type who was not at all in favor of adapting to newer ways.....not really a villain per se, just a burr on everybody's saddle. And I came to like his thick headed stubborness.

Probably one of his most familiar roles was as the eccentric artist "Dubov" on Gilligan's Island.....but he was in a TON of others.

Any conservative gun guy or gal who is portrayed as being a buffoonish lout or out of touch.

And that Internal Affairs cop on Barney Miller...Scanlon.....I used to get a charge out of him the way he would make all the cops dread the police routine when they were on the receiving end,...so I'd always be cheering him on......but that's questionable whether that character was created intentionally to be a villain....normally you'd think a cop wouldn't be cast to be the "bad guy".

But I thought it was great the way he could just walk in the room and all the other cops would just groan

I think I have to mention Cousin Pam from "The Cosby Show".
It seems to me that most people dislike her, but I found her interesting and highly sympathetic.

How about Uncle Tonoose in Make Room for Daddy? Was he SUPPOSED to be a villain?

I hated him as a child, but started to see his warm fuzzy side as I grew older.

It seems to me that most people dislike her, but I found her interesting and highly sympathetic.The one I don't like on The Cosby Show is Olivia.

The one I don't like on The Cosby Show is Olivia.
Well, I would say that she was okay sometimes.

I think I may have the all-time champion here. That would be Dorothy (Dodie) Harper Douglas from "My Three Sons", the shark-jumping, fish-boned Queen Of Hate among sitcom lovers in cyberspace --- and I honestly see no reason for it! You can understand why Dawn Lyn might still be bitter about the resentment that her character still gets from the show's fans, saying that she was a spoiled, annoying little brat with short skirts and diapers and a cute face that was brought in to attract younger viewers to a show that was starting to get old and stale. I completely disagree with that! Yes, she wasn't perfect and she could be mischievous at times, but she was still in kindergarten and hadn't learned to behave yet! I thought she was cute and adorable and a great addition to the cast and I still like her today. I'll be looking forward to seeing her first appearances on the show which should happen around mid-July.

How about Larry Darryl and Darryl on Newhart? I didn't watch that show a lot, but remember them as being agents of harassment. Yet I was often amused with how their innocent buffoonery could derail Dick's best laid plans. I always saw Bod Newhart as sort of a nerd, so seeing his ambitions derailed gave me a sense of fulfillment.

stan zbornak from the golden girls I know that most gg fans cant stand him but I always liked him

Frank Burns nine out ten times he was right and Hawkeye was wrong and would've faced the firing squad for some of the stunts he pulled.
