Most annoying characters - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

RetroChick83 · 06-15-2003, 05:01 PM

Was there anyone on DS you just hated or really disliked? For me it was

- Lisa. But I think that was her characters point - to be annoying.
- Pearl. Didn't like her. Prefer Adailead (sp?) and Mrs Garrett much more.
- Maggie and Sam. Goes without saying really, doesn't it?
- Sometimes Arnold. Mostly I like Arnold a lot but some of the episodes wher Arnold is the main focus are really crappy. Like the one in the video game arcade.

What about you?

Now why did you have to mention the girl in the wheel chair? You are wrong

Brian Damage · 07-04-2003, 07:28 PM

Just my opinion man.

Kitt · 07-05-2003, 01:33 PM

Sam was unbearably annoying.
Maggie
And I agree with Brian, the girl in the wheelchair was annoying. Maybe that wouldn't have been so if the scripts weren't so awful for the episodes she was in, but they were, so she was.

Czas na Zywiec · 07-05-2003, 01:45 PM

I also votefor Sam, Maggie, and the girl in the wheelchair (I think her name was Kathy? I haven't seen the show for a long time.)

And SOLOMON, We don't think she's annoying because of her disablitiy, please. Grow up man. Like Kitt said, the scripts at that time weren't as top notch as they were in the early seasons. She was only in about four episodes, (To my knowledge), so it's not like she was even an important character either.

Yeah, I think her name was Kathy. Not sure if it's Kathy with a K or with a C, though.

The top choices in my opinion have to be Sam and Maggie. Talk about being annoying, they were both annoying.

Mr. Shy Guy · 07-06-2003, 12:50 PM

Robbie, Maggie, and Adielade (sp?) to be the most annoying to me.

ABlairican Pie · 07-26-2003, 07:38 AM

When I was down in Hollywood 15 years ago, I actually saw that girl in the wheelchair, some lady was wheeling her through the streets on Hollywood Blvd. Interesting... I think I may have seen her a few times there. She may have been a "special needs" kind of character like Cousin Geri on FOL.

Most annoying characters:

Sam. Ever think of these characters on successful cartoons like Scrappy-Doo and Batmite? The "humorous sidekick" thing? Bingo.

Sam's voice was annoying.

Toward the end there, the show was losing it with Phil getting married. And Pearl didn't have quite the charm that Mrs. G and Adelaide had. Did I see the actress who played Pearl 20 years ago on a bug killer commercial with an anteater??

Brian Damage · 07-26-2003, 02:18 PM

The actress who played Pearl now voices the character of Mrs. Puff on Spongebob Squarepants.

JethroSimpson · 08-01-2003, 03:11 PM

I think Kathy, I think the reason was what Kitt said- the scripts of her episodes were pretty poor and her charcter was made to be quite nasty at times too.

Sam was annoying sometimes, and Dixie Carter as Maggie.

trexx65 · 08-16-2003, 10:35 PM

Sam was just like arnold said a pain in the behind..

Sorry for bringing up an old post but I have to disagree with the ones who said Kathy Gordon(that is her tv name) real name is Melanie Waston which she gotten married at one time and changed to Bernhardt so now it is Melanie Bernhardt. I thought she did a good job in the 4 episodes she did.

Hint to my signature and avator. She now runs a non profit organization in Oceanside California near San Diego. Where people who disabilities fill out a form and the ones who are accted the company comes and interviews them. Then the company goes to animals shelters and picks a dog and trains the person with the dog. Not train the dog first then try and find a person to match. They work with the dog and person together. It is a win win situation for the dog and person with disabilities. Dog gets a life and the person with disabilities gets a partner to help them.

I agree that she did a good job in terms of her acting and the performance she gave, I just think her character wasn't brilliantly written and so was consiquintly a bit annoying. In particular, I thought the episode titled "Kathy" was very unfunny.
