I don’t watch the Good Wife, so I can’t comment, but one show that I really don’t like most of the characters is Girls. I like the lead Hannah, but I keep thinking she could do so much better than the idiots she hangs with and tries to get them to like her. Her off and on boyfriend is a loser. Can’t stand his loser life.

We should probably never watch those shows together, then. 😃

Oooh, good one. Seconded.

I’ll third Dana on Homeland.
The two kids on The Good Wife are also really annoying and stupid.
Granted, they are teenagers.

How could I have forgotten Seven on _Married with Children_ earlier? Fortunately the writers canned the little fucker after only one season.

Kripke on The Big Bang Theory. That Elmer Fudd schtick got old with his first appearance.
Brick on The Middle. Kid has more issues than the newspaper.

Yeah, I love to hate these guys!
But you know who I REALLY hate? Mosley. I can’t stand that guy. He’s just so pathetic.

That’s part of the point though; they’re all outcasts for one reason or another, and that just happens to be Howard’s.
They also make a point of it in several episodes- Penny is creeped out by it, and often times so are the other guys on the show. It’s not at all like the writers are trying to say he’s normal or well adjusted acting like that- he’s supposed to be creepy and smarmy.
As for characters I can’t stand on a shows I like:
Peggy Hill on “King of the Hill” has to be WAY up there for me. Ignorant, self important, nosey, opinionated and self-righteous are all things that aggravate me, and her character has them all in spades.
I also couldn’t stand Lori on “The Walking Dead” either, and never really liked Cally on “Battlestar Galactica”, and wasn’t at all upset or sad when she got shot out the airlock. Plus, I think the actress is weird looking and ugly.

True. If I looked up TWIT in the dictionary we’d have Mosely’s filmy face next to the definition.

Not just that, but wouldn’t it be a hoot to find [Joseph Molesley (Character) from “Downton Abbey” (2010)](http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0303668/?ref_=tt_cl_t1) on _Survivor._

Every character on that show except Robin Shobotski. And especially Barney Stimson. Is NPH that repulsive in real life?

He’d probably win the little shit.

At least as good a shot as this season’s crowd. Wimp City.

I gave up survivor eons ago. Probably around the Survivor Austraila period 🙂

Well, that’s the point of her. She is there to point and laugh at because she is so clueless.

I was watching Sesame Street with my 3 year old Grandson the other day and I realized how much I hate Baby Bear, Elmo, and Telly. I mean I absolutely loath them!
They’re all obnoxious as hell and I’m glad they weren’t on the show in the 60’s/70’s when I was a kid.

And it’s pathetic that dumb ass Bill wants to fuck her so bad.

Fay Furillo on “Hill Street Blues.” I halfway wonder if Bochco gaver her that role because that’s the way she was in real life, and this way she’d be whining constantly to someone else.
