Two words: Ray Romano. Mama’s boy, sad excuse for a father and an all around ass. ---

Pretty much ANY child character (except Buuuuuddddd from the Cosby Show and possibly the fat white kid, Peter). Monica and Ross are pretty bad now, but were once very good characters (early Ross was a favorite of mine). But Rachel from Friends has ALWAYS been the most annoying. All of the annoying things she has done makes me wonder why ANYONE likes her. She sure is hot, though. ---

She sure is hot, though. \*\* Well, there’s the answer to why anyone likes her. Damn, I just flipped by Claire Huxtable, the inspiration for this thread. Little smirk on her face as she reads a magazine and tells Cliff what to do, while slyly looking at him out of the corner of her eyes, of course: “I don’t think you should eat that hoagie, Cliff.” Aargh. ---

Ditto from me on the _entire cast_ of Full House. Only Grace from Will & Grace. God, one more episode filled with bitching and immature behavior from that fag hag and I’ll shoot my television. Both Ross and Rachel from Friends. They _should_ get married; they deserve each other. Idiotic, wishy-washy whiners without two brain cells to rub together between them. Elaine from Seinfeld occasionally annoyed me, mostly because she was so fucking smug. Tim Allen’s character on Home Improvement. Ever notice how when he and his wife had an argument he always, _always_ eventually decide he was completely in the wrong? Frankly, I wonder how someone so dickless fathered three children. ---

Yes, Dianne from “Cheers” and Peggy Hill are irritating, but then they’re supposed to be. The character that really used to get to me was Janet from “Home Improvement.” The way she lorded it over Tim about how she was supposedly intelligent and cultured and he was just a putz who couldn’t do anything right got old quickly. If she wanted to go to the opera and he wanted to go to the monster truck rally, then she’d whine that he wasn’t being supportive of her. Hey, maybe she should have gone to the truck rally once in a while and been supportive of him. Oh, and I couldn’t stand that mother on “Step by Step” or Darlene on “Roseanne” either. ---

Yeah I cant stand Ross either. What a moaning asshole. He can burn in hell that stupid b\*\*\*\*\*d! 😃 ---

Even though I like the show _Golden Girls_, sometimes the entire cast just makes me want to tear my hair out. For women in their 50’s, 60’s, and 80’s (Sophia), they are the most immature group of women! Especially Blanche. “Rose, why can’t you just admit to me that you borrowed my shoes for a date?” “I didn’t think you would mind!” “You’re so stupid Rose! I’m not talking to you for the rest of my life.” ---

KRC brings up a good point. Some of the characters are SUPPOSE to be annoying. The ones who are really bad are the ones who are not! All of the Seinfeld gang are supposed to be unlikeable (as referenced in the poor attempt of a final episode). But the Full House gang (other than the impresionist) are suppose to be likeable. It is much sadder when they are trying… ---

George Costanza – a moronic character played by a lousy actor. Make Seinfeld absolutely unwatchable. Everyone on “Everyone Loves Raymond.” ---

Cindy Brady for that annoying baby talk. I don’t care if that was her real voice or not, it bugged the hell out of me. Rachel Green from Friends. I hate that character and don’t understand why Ross would ever want anything to do with her. ---

The whole _Friends_ cast can eat my ass with a spoon. I’ll provide the spoon. Further spoons go to the middle son from _Home Improvement_ and Dr. Albright from \* 3rd Rock From the Sun\*. ---

Anyone on Seinfeld (bunch of self-centered idiots), Phoebe on Friends (stupid airhead) , Monica on Friends (anal-retentive bitch), anyone on Full House, ESPECIALLY Danny Tanner, that pompous, self-righteous, “let’s have a heart-to-heart”, all-around number one prick. But, for some reason, I always kind of liked Peggy Hill. ---

The entire cast of Friends. The entire cast of Everybody Loves Raymond. The entire case of Full House. ---

Another vote for the entire cast of both _Friends_ and _Full House_. Everyone on _Home Improvement_ except the fat guy who does the TV show with Tim. Especially his wife & the voyeuristic neighbor. Costanza is supposed to be annoying. Elaine bugs the hell out of me when she whines, but most people do. I bug myself when I whine. ---

Hell, I saw an episode once where she made him feel guilty because he _didn’t want to have a vasectomy!_ ---

The all-time most annoying sitcom character: Edith on All in the Family Also: That nun that does the weather on that show I don’t watch (something about Miami) And in the drama category: The boss on The Practice - those sanctimonious speeches he makes to keep the killers and the rapists out of prison The fat woman on The Practice - start with the 11 earrings in one ear and go from there. EVERYTHING about her is annoying ---

The all-time most annoying sitcom character: Edith on All in the Family. Baranlaith beat me to it, and Claire Huxtable is in the top 5. Edith was amusing the first time, the second time, and perhaps even on the third go-round. But now, her extraordinary stupidity is agonizing to listen to.
