The Office was unwatchable after Carrell left.


The addition of Andy was the beginning of the end.

Agree with Meghan from Mad Men. The Office trying to replace Steve Carrell was a cluster.

Usually it's the addition of kids (Cousin Oliver syndrome) that ruins shows. But I also dislike when shows start spending more time on kids storylines which are usually not as interesting as the main characters. Sopranos, Shameless, Ray Donovan, Bosch, some of the Game of Thrones kids to name a few.

I love James Spader but he was not a good addition to The Office

Rollins and her dreadful sister on SVU.


+100. I love a weekend SVU binge, but as soon as Rollins shows up in an episode, I'm out.

Terri.

Adding the cousin on 8 Simple Rules didn't help any after John Ritter died.

Rollins grew on me on SVU, but Kat was awful.

I agree with OP as far as Raven Simone. Never did like her character. Same goes for the youngest on Family Ties, and Billy on Who's The Boss. They were unnecessary characters IMO.

Otherwise that is my favorite show along with Seinfeld. Susan was awful on Seinfeld. But the envelopes got her.


Lol! I had totally forgotten about whiny Susan!! And the envelopes! Thanks for a good laugh!
