Well, you weren't the only one who hated John, which is probably why he only lasted one season.

I was never a big Chachi fan myself...

I wouldn't use the word hate, but characters I disliked on shows I loved include...
Olivia Jefferson - The Jeffersons
Stephie - All in the Family
Georgette - Mary Tyler Moore
Andy Keaton - Family Ties

Can I add a big ditto to this? I love All in the Family, but it really started to suck when Sally and Rob left. I love All in the Family, but it just didn't connect as well as it did when you had Archie, Edith, Mike and Gloria. When Mike and Gloria and they introducted Stephanie....the ship just failed to make it home.

Warren on The Andy Griffith Show- I'm surprised someone hasn't mentioned him yet. I kind of liked Warren, granted he wasn't Don Knotts or a Barney Fife but at least he added a bit of humor to The Andy Griffith Show during the years Andy acted annoyed in every scene.

Oh, c'mon!

How could you hate Major Frank Burns! A man who brought us such pearls of wisdom as:

"Intelligence is something I try to avoid."
or
"It's all in your head! But don't think it's psychological!"

James · 05-04-2002, 01:42 AM

Here are mine:

Vice Principal Diperna ("The Wonder Years") (except for the episode in which Kevin's math teacher, Mr. Collins, passed away--he was very helpful to Kevin in that one!)

Wilson Wilson ("Home Improvement")

Rose, Jeffrey, and Serena Burton ("The Waltons")

Stanley Perkins ("The Waltons")

Mary Ann Spencer ("Perfect Strangers")

Notice Cousin Oliver's name is not mentioned.

I love "Roseanne" but DJ became very annoying when he got older he just became a pervert.

I also love Full House but when Michelle got older her little kiddy comments got bad and so did she.

On Cheers I always thought Sam was just a little annoying too.

The second Becky on Roseanne also.
