It's sort of hard to say (for me at least) if this is truely the case. If Plumb really didn't like her experience on The Brady Bunch then why exactly did she appear in virtually every reunion project (i.e. The Bradys, The Brady Brides, A Very Brady Christmas, and more recently, the Weakest Link)? She even made a cameo in the black exploitation movie spoof I'm Gonna Git You Sucka in which the theme from the Brady Bunch is obviously played in the background.

I could be wrong, but I think that in the case for Reed he really didn't like the direction that the writing wanted to take rather than simply the show in general per se. Its been noted that Reed wished that the show take a more realistic approach rather than simply rely on by-the-numbers slapstick.

*Ed O'Neil (Married With Children)-O'Neil didn't necessarily hate his experience at working on the show. It's just that he has given the impression that he's very bitter at the way that Fox treated the show towards the end of its run. To put it in another way, O'Neil practically laughs at the idea of doing a reunion since he feels that the show wasn't given a proper wrap-up episode.

*John Amos & Ester Rolle (Good Times)-You may recall that the two parents on the show left in protest. Basically, they figured that the originally intended socially concious sitcom was transforming into the more cartoonish Jimmie "Dino-mite" Walker Show. Rolle was gone from the show for about a year while Amos' character was killed off. This soon (if I'm not mistaken) spurned the phase "Damn, damn, damn!"

I dont know about this one but how about Bob Saget from Full house? I dont think he hated the show but just his character. Because once i think on ET he said he thought his character was gay and stupid. I dont think so but i guess he did.

My nominees:

Larry Hagman
Andy Griffith
Nancy McKeon

well...i for 1, am gonna defend Nancy here!! since i am a loyal fan! She doesn't "hate" Facts of Life, the only reasons she isn't doing the reunion is because she doesn't want to be known as "Jo Polniaczek", she wants to be known as herself,Nancy McKeon and the second reason is, she's doing a series called The Division on Lifetime, in which, it's going into is *2ND SEASON* and she has no time to be doing a reunion for FOL

get your facts straight b4 u post something....

I believe Cindy Williams resented having been cast as Shirley on "Laverne & Shirley", especially when I consider her having left the show in the middle of the final season.

She Loves Laverne & Shirley! She Didn't Want to Do the Show at First, But She Did. And she left because she was pregnent and she didn't feel the producers were letting her have enough off time. And it was at the end of the 7th season/beginning of the 8th

Jaleel White hates "Steven Q. Urkel" so much, that he (jokingly?)suggested assisted suicide if the subject ever comes up again.

Delta Burke hates being reminded of Suzanne Sugarbaker and Desining Women.
