2. Prosecuting attorneys on Law&Order, That Lawyer drama on ABC or....
Edited on Sat Dec-06-03 06:23 PM by sasquatch
any other tv show. I hate all of those punks and if any DA models themselves after them they should be the first against the wall when the reveloution comes.

3. I can't stand...
Hank Hill's father, Cotton, on King of the Hill. Sure he's a cartoon character, but still, he really gets on my nerves.

4. Monk

I tried watching that show once but found the character so goddamned irritating, I shut it off after about 20 minutes. I swear, if I met somebody that obsessive/compulsive in real life, I'd punch him in the mouth!

6. Elizabeth Rohm in Law and Order
the worst "actor" EVER to appear on that outstanding show. It's always like she's just reading her lines - very distracting. I find her unwatchable.

10. You are so right!
I love L&O...except for her. When's her contract up?

Speaking of the L&O trilogy, I LOVE Ice-T, Richard Belzer and Mariska Hargitay on L&O SVU.

31. DITTO!!!
I *LOVE* the interaction between Ice-T (my favorite) and Richard Belzer. I love Mariska in character on L & O but she is disappointing in real life - she comes off as a bit ditzy. And her partner on the show - whatshisname - *slobber*

My empathy for George in this matter was boundless.

16. I hate so many, that's the beauty of being ME
:evilgrin:

but for the purposes of this poll, I would have to say Rudy Huxtable on Cosby Show. (early episodes)

What a brat, always wishing that Vanessa would pop her one. :evilgrin: (no, I'm not into violence) :)

9. John Boy in the Waltons.... (don't shoot me, Walton's Fans)
I liked the show too, but after awhile can you honestly say that Richard Thomas didn't have you running to hide the lethal weapons?

33. Oh yes yes yes.
Didn't she and her then hubby create that role? Or produce? Maybe I'm wrong about that as I could never make it through a minute of that abomination.

That voice does not exist in nature. New Yorkers must still be puking.

13. Munroe......
I cant remember the name of the show, but it had Ted Knight in it, set in San Fransisco. He had two daughters, and JM J. Bullock was Munroe. Made me want to throw something at the screen.

24. That's a great list. I agree with all of them except for
Capt. Binghamton, who I got a kick out of, and Bobby in "Taxi," who I had the hots for so bad that I was too busy looking at him to pay attention to what he said.

But I loved the show.

25. Hey, I liked Sgt Carter
Despite his loud mouth and scheming ways, the man was a pussy cat.

Besides he had the same girlfriend the entire time.

One girl for a Marine?!? My God, that's unheard of!!

30. Sheesh, you should see the ads she's doing for a grocery chain.
She's just tied a rock around her career and tossed it off a bridge.

Good politically, but his character was arrogant and soooooo annoying.

38. last nerve
There are probably a few but the one who comes to mind immediately is the obnoxious female friend on Will and Grace (not Grace). She's the reason I can't watch the show. Every time she opens her mouth I can feel a little bit of my spine disintegrating.
