Found this article in Yahoo and I thought it would make a great topic.

Discuss anyone you want from either side of the pond or here in the U.S. wherever. Who yanks your chain a lot because of their stupidisms?!!!!

For me, Meredith Grey on Grey's Anatomy really does get on my nerves. NO ONE CAN BE THIS DEPRESSED AND NON-COMMITTAL that wants to be "supposedly" in a relationship!!!!!

"@#$%%^^^^&^%$##@@@@@@@$&OOUITYURIYR"

Oh and CANNOT STAND Horatio Cane from CSI Miami. I swear David Caruso has to be the worst actor alive. He's so phony and transparent as his character on that show, we had to stop taping it!!! That show really does bother me with all the cops in pastels and their super hi-tech crime stopping wares. I swear watching this show is a joke and to believe it's the highest rated of all the CSI shows. What a joke and how lame of Jerry Bruckheimer to make people like this piece of junk!!!

Some of the one's discussed in the link I have to sort of agree with too. Locke on Lost does get on my nerves too.

Who are yours?

The character "Pam" on The Office, and the chick who plays her. Ugh.

LOL!
I have become so selective with what I do watch on the television...it's hard for me to "hate" any of the characters on my favorite shows. Even the vile, the oily, the really annoying! LOL
They all have a place in these shows.
Now...if I'm watching something which my husband or mother or son may like and I'm pretty indifferent to...well...then I can find myself pretty much being annoyed by quite a few of the characters.
Right now I must either be in a very mellow mood or my memory isn't serving me well...because I can't remember anyone who bugs me. Huh.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - Danny De Vito just bugs me on a all levels

In the past, the mother on the Cosby show, Phylicia Rashad annoyed me so much that I couldn't enjoy the show.

Dr. Phil and Tyra Banks are just unreal and unlikeable to me.

All three of the scene shredding actresses on Charmed


...I'm just warming up

Simon Cowell , I have never been able to watch American Idol since the one quick initial view. I have no idea why or what it is about that man , but at first sight all I wanted to do was throw my shoe at the TV , but sense prevailed , I would be out one telly and Cowell none the wiser .......... to this day the sound or look of him bring to the surface the most irrational loathing I have ever felt.

I could go on and I might as they come to me , but life has been pretty good , I only ever turn the telly on for Lost -nothing at all to hate there , oh no , its all about love or lust for me -or the odd bit of news

Carrie on Sex and the City....but then, my feelings re this show are well-publicized.

No real TV characters. I don't watch what I don't like. But there are some actors that I can't stand watching:

Julia Roberts
Tom Hanks (Yes, Tom Hanks. I admit it.)
Tom Cruise (Yes, Tom Cruise. I admit it.)
Tea Leoni
Jack Black
Helen Hunt
Andy Dick
Tom Green
Melanie Griffith

Okay, I don't watch this show because Phil watches it. But everytime I do catch a glimpse of it, I want to just get an oozie and shoot the t.v. screen is the show, Smallville!

"Anything on that channel makes me want to do that really!!"

I swear that guy that plays Clark Kent, Tom Welling is nice to look at, BUT he's such a WIMP even though he's Superman!

He makes me sick longing after that ho, Lana Lane!!! And all those other tramps: Lois and Chloe on there really get on MY NERVES!

I really hate this show! Glad I don't really watch it on a regular basis. Phil watches when I go to sleep at 10 p.m. THANK GOD!!!

Mando! Thanks for a good laugh. I'm with you on Horatio Cane, but I have to say that I view that show more like a video game than an actual drama. You know, count the beats til he comes out with a pronouncement, wait for him to take off his sunglasses, wait for him to teleport to the scene of the action (he never arrives like a normal character, he just suddenly appears, with no warning except past experience to tell us when he's most likely to step on the scene ... )

I actually watch Smallville, but I really do hear where you're coming from. ( I think the show suffered as a whole specifically because of the silly way the Clark/Lana story played out. One season I honestly thought they'd absolutely broken up four or five times, because they kept having these 'we can't keep doing this' heart to heart talks, but sure enough, in the next episode, there they wear together again as though the conversation of the previous episode had never taken place. Baffling. I like Lana much more since she married/divorced Lex, her character's a lot more interesting now. And FWIW, she's left 'for good' this time, with just a few appearances planned for the rest of the season. I'm assuming she won't show up again once they quit paying her to do so, LOL!)

As for me, who do I hate? Strange question, since I tend to just change the channel if a character's that irksome and doesn't offer me anything in the way of entertainment. On the other hand, I really disliked the character of Sweets on Bones. I absolutely despised his character last season, but for whatever reasons, I'm now convinced he's hilarious. I can't wait for last season to come out on DVD so I can get another view of his character, just to see if I can figure out what rubbed me the wrong way. (I hated that whole Gormogon story line, hated it with a passion, but had to keep tuning in to see what silliness would ensue.)

I love the show, Bones too but I have to concur that whole Gormogon thing was really dumb. Why get rid of the really dorky smart guy with a subtle robotic sense of humor? I liked him and now we have to suffer through all these interns till he returns back to the show again. Why?!! I love Emily Deschanel on this show, she's hilarious! Such the straight man to David Boreanz's character. Sweets is funnier this season than last year, I agree. He's weird though... Oh well.
OH and that gal, Angela on the show is really starting to get on my nerves with her whole "free spirit" thing going on. I mean, she meets bearded dude on the show, his name is alluding me now and she falls in love with him and then all of a sudden her soon to be ex husband shows up in the picture and they have a tiff and then they end it and then act all weird with one another after that. I'm like, "Beeaaaaactch! What's your problem?!!! Get over yourself! He's got money, he's cute and smart and you have commitment issues!!!" Okay, that storyline has gotten under my skin.

Okay, Mando needs to not get his hair in a dander over dumb stuff like this! LOL!!!!!

That whole Horatio teleportation thing he does and then saying something really stupidly cryptic at the beginning of the show was just too much for me take. I kept on screamin at the t.v. screen when he ever came on and said "DIE!!!!!" I was so disappointed that he wasn't killed off, even though we all know he wasn't going to die this new season.

Oh and that show, Dirty Sexy Money.... let me tell you, it's not bad but that young man, I don't know his name is really bugging me. The one that's lusting after Peter Krause's wife on the show. He irks me, I guess because he's rich and spoiled and just a really twit.

Oh well... I think it's healthy to hate t.v. characters because it's better to hate real people in this life because you can't get rid of those folks unless they are at your job, then you can find another job (not right now though because of the hard times everyone is dealing with) or if you're married into the family, you're sort of stuck! UGH!! Thank God, I like Phil's family and his family is really small.

Jerry Lee Lewis makes my skin crawl and I cannot understand why the entire world did not run away screaming just like those crowds in a Godsilla movie back and during the 1950's, the 1960's, the 1970's, 1980's, the '90's and NOW. It's.... alive!!! Run..!..Run..!.. for your lives!!!!

Just read the comments from that article. Am I the only person that finds it frightening that there are people out there that think The Hills is a reality show? Wow.

I love this thread!

VS, I love Pam Beasley!

Alright, I loathe Jerry Seinfeld. *runs and hides*

-Noelle

You know, I have heard of this show but I have never watched it. I was guessing it was a show about strippers or something like the Kardashians?

I grew to hate Carrie, but I hated Big from the get-go. Without his pernicious influence, Carrie might not have evolved into the whiny self-absorbed incompetent she became.

I also hated the character of Horatio Cane on CSI Miami, but I found I disliked many of the characters on that show, especially Calleigh Dusquene - the blonde guns expert. Ugh, I could not stand her either. I stopped taping it a long time ago. It seemed especially ridiculous and far-fetched, more so than the others. I like CSI and CSI NY still, but both also have characters I can't stand. I don't like Sarah Sidle on the regular CSI and I don't like the character of Stella Bonasera. Both are just too high and mighty for my taste. Sometimes the scenarios are interesting on the show, often they are ridiculous. I watch the show mainly to see the evolution of the characters that I like.

Dennis Reynolds on "It's Always Sunny..." just bugs me. I hate that stupid duster. And he seems so full of himself. He's funny (as is the entire cast) but he bugs me. Mac is my favorite character on that show.

I never liked Kramer on Seinfeld. He just bugged me. Or Joey, Phoebe or Ross on Friends. Most of the characters on that show (Friends) were so annoying as was the dialogue. Not a Friends fan.

I don't like Carrie on SATC either. Funny, not to like the main character, but it's true. I love Samantha and I love Miranda, but Carrie and Charlotte are usually annoying.

It's funny how some actors just bug people. I have a friend who can't stand to watch anything with Kevin Costner in it.
I don't like Matthew McConaughey or Kate Hudson in most cases. If they're in something, chances are I won't see it.

Dr. Phil [/b]and Tyra Banks are just unreal and unlikeable to me.

Yes! Dr. Phil! Dr. Laura meets Col. Tom Parker (Elvis's carny "manager")

Seinfeld, everyone on Sex and the city, everyone on Friends... come to think of it, sitcoms are really not my thing.

My favorite character and soul sister is Karen Walker on Will and Grace. LOVE LOVE LOVE that show!



Gotta go. It's on!!! I watch it a LOT.

I love Karen Walker! I love Will. I love Jack. Grace? Not so much. Debra Messing, pretty much not so much.

I liked Phoebe better than Rachel and Joey better than the other two guys.

I've watched a lot of Seinfeld and I never understood it. I don't get Larry David. His "Curb Your Enthusiasm" was just agonizing to try to watch.

Lorelei Gilmore. Smug, arrogant, intolerant, she was unendurable. Far worse than her parents, who were supposed to epitomize those characteristics.

- Is Nancy Grace considered a TV character? No comment necessary.
- Maury Povich is still around ? Why? The poor-man's Jerry Springer, still hanging in there, flashing that fake toothy smile at the never-ending cavalcade of freaks and losers he still rounds up.
- Gossip Girl. (Yes, Entertainment Weekly Magazine, I understand this show is not made for the likes of me. I'm too old, fat, and ugly, and poor. I don't own a big ugly designer purse, I don't have a cell phone and if I did, I wouldn't know how to 'text', I don't have lots of hot guys to hook up with. But, Entertainment Weekly Magazine, I am puzzled and annoyed by your feverish slavering over these people every. single. week. as if this is the finest TV series EVER put on the air EVER!)

Wait!!!
There's a "poor-man's Jerry Springer"???!!!
I thought Jerry Springer was as low as one could go!!!
*LOL*

I would say that expending energy or emotion *any* pixelated character is irrational!

Not a TV fan.

Ditto Phylicia Rashad and everyone on Friends. Everyone on Desperate Housewives. Ugh. And Raven Symone when she was little and on the Cosby show - I HATE overcoached "cutesy" kid actors. Punky Brewster too and anyone else like that. HATE.

On 'Dirty Sexy Money' it is Nick I can't stand. Jeremy is just a young dope (trivia - he is Ron Howard's son-in-law IRL). But Nick is such a wimp! If I were his wife I'd'a walked out long ago because of this BS with him and the Darling family, esp. Karen. Also the guy who plays the former-priest brother gives me the willies. He has the eyes of a serial killer.

I will think of others...

Can't stand any of the Desperate Housewives. I can't believe that someone actually considers this "acting".

I never watched an entire episode of Friends because I couldn't stand any of those people.

-I dislike the Three Stooges a lot
-Dr Phil is a blow-hard poser with anger control issues... ick
-I can't do Katie Kurick on my evening news/other stuff yes, but not the evening news.
-Larry King gives me a big ole case of the creeps/ Somebody sleeps with that !
-Conan O'Brian is not funny... nor is he clever or cute or enjoyable to watch...ever
-I am annoyed by new Toyota commercials "Saved by zero".Bad 70's song & even
worse now.
-I think I dislike Miley Cyrus but I've never watched her show. Her Dad is greasy weird.
-Donald Trump (same as Larry King)
-I expect that Molly Shannon picks her butt in public and goes days without bathing

Don't get Conan at all. Can't stand to look at him.
Tyra Banks................YUCK.
Jerry Springer............do people really watch this?
That blond albino on Miami CSI. Geesh gimme a zoloft.
Nancy Grace............uh uh. nope.
Everybody on the View.
Maury Povitch
Bill Mahr

Actually too many to mention.

Oh yes add Katie Couric to my list. And Bryant Gumbel! With her so chirpy and him so smug. Who the H would want to wake up with either of those two, let alone both of them?! That'd make me put my foot through the TV.

OK. I can relate on these two shows. Never could watch "Friends". Watching the whole cast made me feel like I was wearing itchy wool underwear, scratchy wool pants, and thick and bristly wool sweater...covered by a rough, woolen army blanket. *shudder*


And here's one that's going to win me more enemies...
While I found Tina Fey's impressions of Sarah Palin to be dead-on and funny when they first aired, they're old hat, now.
That was the ONLY time I've ever thought Fey was funny, though. I don't get her allure.
We rented "Baby Mama" or whatever it's called...and I swear that the trailer was funnier than the movie.
My son wanted to see it so we got it on VOD or PPV or whatever that is...and we found it dull and uninspired...re-hashed from stuff that was funny in other films but so used and abused in this one...it was almost pathetic.
Yeah, Tina Fey bugs me...mostly because I think she's so bland.

I know, "What the deal with Tina Fey?!"

I don't care for 30 Rock and I don't consider it funny. But all of Hollywood does apparently if they gave both her and Alec Baldwin awards at this last year's Emmys.

"I guess I don't have a certain smart sense of humor then?"

Julia Louis-Dreyfuss--I hated her in Seinfeld; can't stand her show on CBS "New Adventures of Old Christine"
And agree 100% with SJP's Carrie Bradshaw character and Debra Messing's Grace of "Will & Grace"--completely whiny & annoying!

But I love Tina Fey; 30 Rock cracks me up!

Ohh fg, how could I forget Julia Louis-Dreyfuss. She thinks she's so cute.

I think Tina Fey's impersonation of Palin is hilarious. Probably because I think Palin is hilarious.

I don't like Julia Louis-Dreyfuss either. I never understood the allure of this woman that many found so funny.

Guess I'm watching too much Reno 911!, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and American Dad here....

Those horrible women on Everybody Loves Raymond (the wife and the mother).
And nasal whining Raymond, he's horrible too.

Oh yes Julia Louis Dreyfus...she's made a career on being toxic and self serving

Rachel, Ross and Chandler on friends irritate me to no end. I've never known men that whinny in real life.

Dixie Carter bothers me in everything she's in, but I love her husband Hal Holbrook.

The trifecta from hell: Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly

-Noelle

Helen Hunt bugs me too and Ben Afleck. No character he plays is ever believable to me.

Horatio Cane is just plain weird!

Yes, the whole cast of Friends.

Kevin Costner (I put him in the same category as Ben Afleck).

Nancy Grace, who died and made her God?

Katie Couric, ugh.

Actually most of Hollywood and many, many T.V. personalites bug me and contribute very little that's good to the world (IMO)! So there!

Ugh. Agreed.



Does anyone remember the old TV show, "Bewitched"? The character of the bumbling, addle-brained Aunt Clara really bugged me. I know I should've felt sorry for her, but instead she just annoyed me so much I had to turn off the TV whenever she came onscreen.

Add Anjoilina Jolie to my list. Totally forgot how much I can't stand her.
Julia Roberts too!

I seem to have trouble getting fictional characters to loathe , I reckon if I loathe the character it is because it was meant to be loathed , however real celebs are getting it in the neck in this thread eh ?

I am going to have to add Jennifer Lopez , though she has been a very good girl of late and is not being too too much of a media ^&@##$% she has always managed to not only get up my nose , that gal gives me a serious case of the grue, shudder.

I guess we've ventured into famous personalities that bug us. Something about Paul McCartney irritates me. I know he's a Beatle and rock and roll royalty, but I just can't take him. Cast your stones at me people. Admitting it is liberating.

-Noelle

I'm with you, Karen Walker is my idol. She and Jack make me laugh outloud.

CSI Miami is a cartoon.

We prefer PBS and won't miss Waking The Dead or Silent Witness. No one does a mystery as well as the British.

Had a think and here goes-

Horatio Cane of CSI Miami ( I am waiting for CSI Melbourne - I mean they get around! ) always looks so Depressed at the end of the show - he has got the baddie but he looks like he is about to "do himself in" every week!

Raymond of "Everyone Loves Raymond" , well , I don't . What a smart A** wimpster!

Dr Phil's darn Wife! I am fascinated with her plastic lips. The woman now host's and I don't like his pushy kids either and have you noticed the whole bloody family write BOOKS that they all promote like crazy! I would Never buy one!!!!

Julia Roberts and her extra teeth.

Jerry Lewis - he is coming "down under" doing his show - guess who is not going? He always comes across as a nasty type to me.

Every rotten friend in "Friends" - especially Jennifer Aniston . Every magazine I see tells me to fell so sorry for poor old sad and lonely Jen while they show picks of her on a boat or fancy city etc. Like fun I feel sorry for her!

Terri and Bindi of Croc Fame. I am "bindied " out ! We all are over here.

Charlie Sheen and the 2 1/2 Men show. Yik

I am with the person who is sick of Paul Mc C of the Beatles and you can throw in Heather "Hoppy" Mills too!

Jamie Oliver of "Pukka Tukka" cooking fame! He makes my skin crawl. I would never go to his restaurants or buy his books

Will Smith is just too "try hard" cute . He is just too old for that now.

Gwyneth Paltrow - a shocking long drink of water that can't act.

Now you can throw rocks at me!

I'm glad to see that CSI Miami's Horatio Cane is getting a beating!

I can't stand this character and this actor!

It's okay to post about real life celebs. I swear most of the celebs of now I'm so sick of hearing about.

I agree that Jennifer Anniston is so NOT to be pitied at all. "WHY?!!" The darn girl is just a career climbing ho!" I think Brad Pitt had done well without this wench!

Can I tell you that I stop whatever I'm doing to watch this?!! I'd love Jack and Karen to come live with me! What fun. I'm always cackeling outloud while watching this.

What exactly is the excitement about Jennifer Aniston, anyway? Because Pitt dumped her? Because she was on Friends? Because of that haircut? Has she ever been in a really successful film, in which her performance was outstanding? Not that I can remember.

For me, she's like Eva Longoria. I just don't get it. Someone enlighten me, please.


News anchors: I cannot stand any of the news anchor chicks on cable. None of them; Fox, CNN, etc. They are all so plastic, with so much makeup on their faces and shellacked hair. I'm not talking about real reporters like Christiane Amanpour, I mean these talking head news reader bimbos.

Thought of a couple more:

The whole cast of Lipstick Jungle--Sex and the City with much more pathetic female leads and whimpier (is that a word?) men.

And dear God, please make Brooke Shields' new Volkswagen mini-van commercials stop! Makes me never, ever want to own a Volkswagen!

I just watched the Rachel Zoe show last night and was horrified at the shallow-ness of the characters (and this is a reality show so I guess it's the actual people I don't like). Rachel Zoe and her husband Rodger are the Barbi and Ken of Hollywood. Both of them are totally consumed with money, their jobs, and with the boring drama (to me) of their lives. The one bright spot in the show was the occasional interview with Jennifer Garner who seemed to realize that dressing up for an Oscar show was fun but not life changing. I did sit through the entire show - sort of morbidly fascinated that these people actually exist.
