For context, a character that was super annoying in a TV show that was solid overall.

Carla on Cheers. A sadistic, miserable human being and the audience is supposed to see her as funny and be charmed by her "humor."

Interesting!

What is it about him that rubbed you the wrong way?

The show wouldn't be worth watching without him.

Greg House on House, even though he's the main character. What a miserable excuse for a human being.

Michel on Gilmore Girls, I don't understand why Lorelei kept him around. He was nothing but arrogant, pompous, and condescending to everybody.

Agreed. My guess is that without Dr. Smith, the show wouldn't have made it beyond one season, if that.

The woman who Martin eventually married on "Frasier"...good actress, but the character was too young for Martin and totally wrong for the show.

B.J. Hunnicutt on MASH...the least funny character ever on a comedy.

Wendie Malick was funny as Hell on Hot In Cleveland but I couldn't stand her as Martin Crane's girlfriend/wife. She was supposed to be a singer but couldn't carry a tune and had a hideous wig and no chemistry with John Mahoney.

Marsha Mason on the other hand was excellent as his earthy girlfriend Sherry and had loads of chemistry with him.

I wonder why they didn't just bring her back for him.
