I think that everybody on MASH should have been anesthetized with ether, or chloroform, or whatever it is that gives you a slow, painful death if overly administered. (This excepts, of course, Wayne Rogers, who left early, and Major Flag.)
I would be happy to see Rerun from What’s Happening take the pipe.
Gary Coleman in whatever the name of that travesty was: “What you talkin about?”
He must be punished.

I have to take extreme exception to this.
I think that you mean a jack handle. A common mistake.

Phoebe, of “Friends.” I admit I haven’t watched the show that much, but I wanted to throw tomatoes through the TV screen every time her ugly face and squawky voice appeared.
The station manager (Max Wright?) on Dabney Coleman’s “Buffalo Bill” TV show was especially badly acted and put a damper on the show whenever he showed up.
Wesley Crusher on “Star Trek TNG”
Chukotay on “Star Trek Voyager”. Janeway too. Tom Paris. Hell, the whole damn series.
Rhoda and SyPhyllis on “Mary Tyler Moore”. One they got spinoffs, the show became a classic giving more airtime to Sue Ann Nivens and Ted Baxter.
Darrin II on “Bewitched”
God yes. She is annoying before her second syllable.
For an oldie, I’ll got with Higgins on Magnum PI.
I feel safe making the huge blanket statement “all children on every sitcom ever”.
I feel safe by saying all family members and boyfriends on In Plain Sight.
Also, Andy Dick in anything.
Also, Andy Dick in anything.
Also, Andy Dick in anything.
I can’t stress this too much… Also, Andy Dick in anything.
No mention of Scrappy Doo yet?
If Scrappy is being added, we must include BooBoo Bear.
Each of the Real Housewives no matter where they are from. Yes I know it’s supposed to be reality but no one that stupid, arrogant and bitchy would have been allowed to live as long as they have.
I found him tolerable on NewsRadio, but that’s it.
Dr. Smith on Lost In Space.
Why? Because he is a nice guy? I’m sorry but I’m not into the Nietzsche-style hate-the-decent-people concept. Burns comes off at an animal level somewhere near Oscar Apfel, who played a crooked businessman in the Our Gang short “Helping Grandma” (the one with the general store; at the end Wheezer bops Apfel on the head with a hammer.) I say this because I often temper my perception of an irritating character with my sense of right and wrong.
Michael Scott, The Office. I’m starting to FF thru his scenes.
Marcy Rhoades D’Arcy, Married…with Children, from about season 7 on. Without a husband who could, you know, act, she turned into a one-note feminazi shrew.
Percy in the various Blackadders.
Hyacinth Bucket, the lead character on the British sitcom “Keeping Up Appearances”. The first time you watch the show, her snobbery and bossiness are genuinely funny. The second time around you wonder why anybody puts up with her. The third time around, you’re rooting for her to be dismembered with a pickaxe.
I just stopped recording it. The show has its moments, but in general he is so painful that I can’t watch.
YES! As annoting as all the others mentioned are, Dr. Smith was the worst. Made a stupid show even more unwatchable.
Gladys Kravitz - Bewitched - character intentionally written annoying.
Jessica Fletcher - Murder, She Wrote - She was written as a likable character but I found her smug and arrogant. Everytime she went somewhere, somebody (or more) died. Why would anyone invite her to a wedding (or similar) is beyond my comprehension.
I’ll clarify that even though Michael Scott is supposed to be annoying on the show, he also annoys me. The best parts of the show are Dwight and Jim interacting. I haven’t watched any of The Office or 30 Rock this season though, since I don’t have Earl to draw me in.
Joey on Full House. Even as a kid I thought his cartoon impersonations and stand up act were awful.
And Michelle because she was so damned spoiled. I wanted someone to backhand her in every episode.
I’m going with Edna Garrett in both Diff’rent Strokes and The Facts of Life.
