catlover79 · 04-19-2007, 12:20 AM

We've done previous threads about TV's best and worst bosses. Now here are my choices for TV characters I would not under any circumstance want to work with:

Ted Baxter (MTM)

Sue Ann Nivens (MTM)

Det. Ron Harris (Barney Miller)

Officer Carl Levitt (Barney Miller)

Bobby Wheeler (Taxi)

Rev. Jim (Taxi)

Howard Borden and Elliott Carlin (Bob Newhart Show)

Any character from Seinfeld, especially George Costanza

Stephanie Vanderkellen (Newhart)

Herb Tarlek and Les Nessman (WKRP)

Michel Gerard (Gilmore Girls) -- too annoying and weird!

Milburn Drysdale (The Beverly Hillbillies) -- treated his employees like dirt!

Uncle Joe Carson (Petticoat Junction) -- does very little if any work!

Maynard G. Krebs (Dobie Gillis) -- ditto, no work out of him!

(With those last two guys, I'd be doing the work of two people!)
