I used to feel this way, sometimes I still do, but not as much in the last 4-5 years. It's why I stopped watching Big Brother (or one of the reasons). Then there are shows like Newsradio, which people have repeatedly told me I should watch because it's so good, yet it has Joe Rogan, and also Andy Dick, who helped to kill one of my favorite actors. So it's tough.

Well, obviously, there's a difference between "Big Brother" and your average sitcom or drama series.  BB contestants aren't playing fictitious characters; they're being themselves (which is to say, a camera-ready version of themselves).

I could watch an episode of "NewsRadio" even w/ Joe Rogan or Andy Dick, because, no matter how much I loathe both actors, they're not actually the characters they portray, and vice-versa.  (That is, if I really WANTED to watch an episode of "NewsRadio," which I'm always hard-pressed to do, since I thought the show sucked, lol.)

I mean, I think Kirstie Alley is the worst kind of Scientologist and Trump supporter/apologist on social media, but I still enjoy watching her as Rebecca Howe on "Cheers."  And even though I still can't explain or understand whatever the [!@#$%^&*] happened to Roseanne Barr, I'll still tune in occasionally to "Roseanne" (final season notwithstanding) because Roseanne Conner means more to me than Roseanne Barr ever will.
