Default Worst Cast Additions

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! 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.

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.
