Ah, Coy and Vance. I was very young but Dukes was my favorite show, so the Coy & Vance debacle upset me greatly.
I swear the Scrappy-Doo controversy was one that didn't exist until Gen-Xers became teenage stoners and started watching Scooby reruns. As a kid I had no problem with the Scrappy episodes and I don't remember any other kids complaining about them either, not until years later. (And shit, have you watched the original Where Are You, Scooby-Doo? lately? It's not like the thing was ever exactly one of the best-written toons around to start with.)
Barney's replacement Warren from Andy Griffith totally should have been #1 here, not just an honorable mention. What an awful character.

3. Dawn Summers, Buffy The Vampire SlayerWhen Buffy Summers' "little sister" suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the show's fifth season, furious fans screamed their heads off, assuming Cousin Oliver Syndrome had kicked in. Turned out the writers were pulling something clever and self-aware, and there was a plot reason that no one had ever seen or mentioned Buffy's sister before. But that didn't stop her from being an intolerably shrill, whiny, manipulative, troublemaking little McGuffin for most of the rest of the series. I can't tell you how many times I wanted to punch the t.v screen. I couldn't stand her being on the show. Last season she improved slightly. |

I hated James Hurley, the character on Twin Peaks....so funny, they nailed it about him. Any Twin Peaks/David Lynch fans here?

They also forgot George Castanza. For good reason. For he is Costanza, lord of the idiots. ;D |

Warren from Andy Griffith was TERRIBLE. Once Knotts was gone that show went to serious shit.

Warren from Andy Griffith was TERRIBLE. Once Knotts was gone that show went to serious shit. And it's interesting how the handful of episodes where Knotts did reappear are just as watchable as any of the classic episodes. Seems like a sort of peculiar case where the latter-year sag wasn't so much because the writers had got lazy or ran out of ideas like with most shows, just that the show was so dependent on the interplay between those two actors that it could just never work otherwise. |

Urkel was popular he saved Family Matters Yeah, he was popular...but the show way, way overused him. At first he was just the wacky neighbor who popped up, did his bit and left, but as soon as he started catching on with audiences the show should have just renamed itself to Urkel!, since the titular family often barely even appeared in the episode. I think he was pretty well hated after a couple years. (Of course, it doesn't help that the show stayed around way longer than it should have. Did you know it was on until 1998? I didn't until I happened across a rerun. I woulda sworn it was gone by like '95.) |
