Members ChitHappens Posted January 9, 2019 Members Share Posted January 9, 2019 I always think about shows where the lead made me seethe. House - I'm sure there was some appeal somewhere which is why Lowry was chosen, but I feel because the character was so disgusting, Lowry couldn't do anything to salvage House. The cases were wonderful but the character was so disgusting and not funny. Then they put this stunning, intelligent, well educated prestigious hospital administrator with that despicable pill popping cripple? Set women back hundreds of years! Scandal - Why would anyone choose Washington to lead any show. Her stank walk alone is a major turn off. Kerry simply does not possess enough talent to lead a show. Shonda is no good for anything that requires more than one season, so deficient Kerry didn't help matters! Greenleaf - Grace played by that god awful Merle Dandridge. Nuff said! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted January 9, 2019 Members Share Posted January 9, 2019 Many people will say Eric McCormack on W&G. I like him fine, but he’s by far the weak link in the cast. Sex and the City and SJP/Carrie. Nuff said. I hated House and came to hate Scandal, but I do think Kerry (who did great on SNL) and especially Hugh are very talented. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted January 9, 2019 Members Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) The lead characters on any show I watch are usually not favourites of mine. One currently for me is Franky Doyle on Wentworth. I'm only on season 5, but I very much hate that they brought her back into prison life. I was glad to be rid of her.

Members MichaelGL Posted January 9, 2019 Members Share Posted January 9, 2019 During it's first few seasons, it was Meredith on Grey. Honestly, some seasons later, I like her now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members StepBack Posted January 9, 2019 Members Share Posted January 9, 2019 Alicia Florrick The Good Wife. The backstage gossip didn't really help either. The Kings should have NEVER gave any actor control. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted January 10, 2019 Members Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) As mentioned above, Carrie on SATC. Anything with Buffy after season 3. SMG became cold and dead, and, along with the show running out of ideas (beyond Whedon beating heavy-handed arcs into the ground before leaving to do other projects), she weighed the material down heavily. McMurphy on China Beach. I don't care how pretty Dana Delaney was, it became ludicrous for every man on the canvas (bar I think one) to fall madly in love with her, with, in some cases, this love lasting for decades, complete with marrying nurses who had the same name as her just to drive the point. The character was cold and hard, and ruined through overexposure. Episode after episode about how she was drinking, about how she didn't want to remember, all while some other characters got the barest of scraps. Abby on ER. So sour and bitter I quit watching the show and never looked back. The woeful, woeful Fred on Angel, one of Whedon's most precious Mary Sues. She took over the show wholesale, ruining and downgrading established characters, and was never, ever worth the time. I also quit watching thanks to her, with zero regret.

Members Faulkner Posted January 10, 2019 Members Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) Oh I have a good one. Torchwood and Gwen/Eve Myles. God I hated Gwen. This scene was a big reason why. Edited January 10, 2019 by Costello 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wendy Posted January 10, 2019 Members Share Posted January 10, 2019 OMG, this. However, unlike a poster above, I loved Susan 1.0. Version 2.0, she became a vapid party girl - probably because Abby had Susan's old family issues schtick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted January 10, 2019 Members Share Posted January 10, 2019 Fiona Gallagher on Shameless. Horrible mother figure for her siblings and queen of self-destructive decisions, all hidden behind some bizarre pride in the low-class customs of her neighborhood. Casey Cartwright on Greek. Spoiled sorority bitch who hates it when people do to her what she's most likely already done to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted January 10, 2019 Members Share Posted January 10, 2019 OMG yes to Abby on ER. I agree, despised her so much. She was a total Mary Sue character 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
