Characters you hate on shows you like

Deb on Dexter

Daenarys on “Game of Thrones”. Whenever the story switches to her, my interest comes to a screeching halt.

Of course, that’s really George R.R. Martin’s fault, not anyone on the TV production staff.

You gotta love the finale where:

Brenda dies while listening to Billy rattle on and on with his mad ranting.

Putty on Seinfeld used to really annoy me, not sure why. I generally like that guy on other shows though.

Yes, first thing I thought of, as mentioned above, Taub and Thirteen on House. I didn’t hate her, but it seems like they made her a bisexual just to draw eyeballs. Pant pant pant. I’m kind of disappointed we never got to see House euthanize her…Now Taub, I was seriously annoyed by the endless focus on his busy love life. And he looked like a Dooley mug (for those of you who remember Schultz and Dooley commercials for Utica Club Beer.)

I too hate Lucky on King of the Hill

For me it was Hank’s father Cotton. Couldn’t stand the character and I was thrilled when they killed him off. Spoiler alert.

Not only that, but…

He’s ranting about Claire breaking up with him… 40+ years prior!

Merle on Walking Dead. The character’s a bastard shithead, makes the show better, but I am REALLY looking forward to when he dies

Lila on Dexter. She made me so freaking mad with her prominent lip and stuck-up accent - not to mention all the shit she pulled. Makes Season 2 rather painful to watch.

I also want to second Skyler from Breaking Bad, although she does have her moments of pure awesome (bimbo accountant act to save Ted - “I just put the numbers into the Quicken”), or understandable fear (“I am the one who knocks!”).

I hated Emily on Friends. Don’t even watch the episodes with her in it anymore.

On King of the Hill the one I can’t stand is Bill. I love the show, but there are a couple Bill-centric episodes I haven’t even been able to bring myself to watch.

I can’t stand Tony DiNozzo on NCIS. Every joke he makes grates on me; every humiliation he suffers makes me glad. In a good and just world Ziva would have beaten him to death early in season 3 and been acquitted simply by playing a videotape of his antics at trial.

Wait, that’s not completely true. Tony was the moving force behind Ziva’s rescue from the terrorists so he’s not entirely useless. He can die NOW, though.

Ross’s second wife, yes? The British girl? I think we were supposed to hate her.

Yeah,wasn’t sure if she fit the OP.

What about TV shows no longer on?

I hated Bester(Walter Koenig) from Babylon 5. Thank heavens he was only a recurring character, and not on every week. And he was supposed to be hateful of course. But I wouldn’t have minded shoving him out an airlock.

Hate is probably too strong a word, but I’m fucking sick of Lily on How I Met Your Mother. I’m pretty sure she wasn’t that terrible earlier in the show’s run.

I actually thought Taub was almost as hot as House himself, and that’s a lot. I do realize that not everyone agrees with my taste in men.

But the characters I truly hate are all the kids on Modern Family. Every single one of them. I’m sure that in time I’ll even start hating the baby. Look how Lily turned out.

And then there’s ST:VOY’s Harry Kim. I guess they needed to have an Asian in the cast.

Wow. I Like NCIS, but really Like Abby. I like Tochwood, and like Gewn (at least in the early seasons - I haven’t seen the later ones)

Brian

One reason why I do not watch The Young & The Restless anymore is because of the character on there that I can’t stand: Kevin Fisher.

God bless you always!!!

Holly

how could anyone hate Cotton??

he killed fiddy men for your freedoms
