Toby Ziegler, The West Wing
Arrogant, curt and rude just about all the time.

The show would have been a lot better if the pilot episode had been a going-away party for him as he prepares to leave to manage a Cinnabon in Omaha.

Beau De LaBarre, Welcome Back Kotter
Brought on after Vinnie Barbarino departed in the fourth season, in an effort to appeal to southern viewers (who found New Yorkers “unrelatable”) but had no chemistry with the cast. The show was canceled next season.

Beau De LaBarre, Welcome Back Kotter
Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz, The Big Bang Theory
On a show full of characters with negative personality traits, she was the worst: nasty, mean-spirited, bullying, short-tempered, and ruthless.

Piper Chapan, Orange is the New Black

Pointless and annoying. She should have done her duty as the key at the end of season 5, and then been erased from history.

On the season 7 premiere, they followed the Cousin Oliver trope by adding a new kid to the cast named Seven. He was quickly written out of the show, and disappeared by Season 8.
