For example....

Im a fan of ALF, but the entire cast is boring as hell besides Willy and ALF of course.

Maybe Mad About You. Even though I like the show, I think Jamie and Paul are boring. The situations they get in are often funny, but they themselves aren't, IMO.

That's true. The best part about "ALF" is the comic chemistry between Max Wright and a puppet.

Actually, Willie's my favorite character.

Phil Hartman was the only character I liked on NewsRadio, which explains why the show barely lasted a season following his murder

The West Wing. Good show with usually, good writing, but the characters, imho are totally boring. i pracitally fall asleep whenver CJ Craig is on.

Fraser and Cheers both always bored me.

Do you like any of those shows??

If you actually read my post you'd see that i said that The West Wing had great writing and good acting but that the characters are boring. And well, Cheers and Fraser i just can't stomach they are boring to no end.

I did read the post, I was just wondering if you like either Cheers or Frasier. Because if anything.... the characters were the best part of the shows.
But since you dont like them, I guess it makes sense -- although thats not the point of this thread.

Well since i'm an adult i think i can decide if i'll post something or not. so i really don't need you telling me what the "point" of something is thanks.

no need to have an attitude, I was just saying that the point of the thread was boring characters from shows you like.

Hey i want to apologize. my posts do seem very harsh. i'm sorry if i was a little rude. i guess i was having a bad day. To answer your question- I like Cheers, but the characters alwasy borde me, especially Diane, Littith, Fraser, Coach and Rebecca. and Fraser characters other than Daphne always board me 2. Niles was half-way on the verge of un-annoying, but put him in a scene w/ Fraser and i'm asleep faster than you can say "ZZZZ".

Wings, Wings, Wings!

I always thought that show had good writing, but would have been a bigger hit if they had more dynamic actors playing the lead roles.

But the two things on ALF that are hot was Anne Schedeen and Andrea Elson. They're both were hotties and wholesome. Just those two alone was worth watching ALF.
