I've never heard of her or seen the show but she was just featured in the Name This Person thread and looks annoying. You take that back!!! Allison Janet is a national treasure. Except for the feature episode on TWW when she goes back to Dayton, OH, for her class reunion with her speech supposed to be titled “The Promise of a Generation” (take a drink every time that’s said in the ep). I really chalk that up to really bad writing. —— I would say that mine is the blonde one from Desperate Housewives. I watched the first season. I hated the character and I really loathe the actress (who has recently been involved in the college admissions scandals). Everything I’ve seen her in, I hate her character as she just plays controlling, manipulative, snarky b————.

BJ’s character progression was a bit weird, coming in as a fresh-faced, clean-cut, optimistic replacement for Trapper. He transitions to a guy with too similar qualities to Hawkeye... only with a nuclear family back home including the trope of a daughter he’s never seen and frustrations resulting. 1
Special K Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 I couldn’t stand the character of Wendy Byrd’s brother on this season of Ozark....basically everything he said or did was complete stupidity. I understand the purpose of his character this season, but he could have been portrayed in a less annoying manner with the same effect.

They needed a sidekick to support the entire shift of the show away from being a comedy to instead being about Alda and his moralizing. 1
Gugny Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Roseanne Barr (Conner). The show was incredible despite her being a horrible actress, completely unfunny and a disgusting pig. The reboot without her is fantastic. Now I no longer have to work around her garbage. Much better show without her. 1

In terms of great characters that were infuriating or maddening, Livia Soprano would be the GOAT in that category. Glad you put it that way as Nancy Marchand was born in Buffalo. 1 hour ago, Gugny said: Roseanne Barr (Conner).

Much better show without her. Most comedians don't have what it takes to carry a television show in terms of performance. I love Jerry Seinfeld but he had no acting ability. Good thing that the producers let Jerry be Jerry. 1

Roseanne isn't even a good comedienne. She's never been funny to me. I've never laughed at anything she's said or done. She's repulsive in every way imaginable. 1

By the way was the name BJ an inside joke amongst the producers as to Hunnicutt's role relative to Pierce. I did not mind Winchester as Burns was played out but Winchester got to be rather pointless after his first season. The excess envy by Potter and others towards Charles was simply too much.

After the parade of grumpy doctors including Dr McCoy, Dr Pierce, Dr Craig (St Elsewhere), etc. the concept kind of burned out.

RochesterRob Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) I could name so many they would be able to fill the old LA Coliseum but I will limit it to several. Goober Pyle. Chief O'Hara. Any of the women on One Day at a Time other than Val Bertinelli. Schneider from One Day at a Time. Danny Partidge. Chief Daniels from Hill Street Blues. Brian Bonsall's Andy from Family Ties. The mother of the Nanny. Edited May 10, 2020 by RochesterRob

Gray Beard Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 Ritchie on the Dick van ***** show Tabitha on Bewitched Fred Mertz on I Love Lucy Ross on Friends Bobby Flay on Iron Chef Goss’ Garage on Motorweek Ant on Wheeler Dealers (Edd was better) Any token women other than Heather on Garage Squad
Another Fan Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 I was never really a big Winnie Cooper fan from The Wonder Years. I always thought during the course of the series she just played mind games with Kevin. Kevin could be a jerk at times but more often then not he had his heart broken by her during the course of the series. Somewhere in the middle of the series a tall beautiful French girl Madeline liked Kevin and even kissed him in front of everyone. I always thought he was silly for being so hung up on Winnie 1 1

Matthew Perry has very little range and this was evident by the other roles he did. He even screwed up Oscar Madison on The Odd Couple reboot which was a role that did not require much of an actor.

I agree that I used to internally groan and scowl over Inspector Luger.
