Creator's Pet/Live-Action TV: Difference between revisions

** [[Wil Wheaton]] himself appears in the last season, as a deliberate parody of his [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|own hated character]].

** Sheriff Carter's horrible sister, Lexi also counts. She's the worst kind of [[Granola Girl]] stereotype and displays open contempt for Eureka and the town's modus operandi, deliberately undermines Carter's authority (especially with his own daughter!), is woefully irresponsible and stupid, yet -- for some unfathomable reason -- everyone in town is enamored with her. She was, thankfully, [[Put on a Bus]], but that was after a season of being ham-fistedly jammed into episodes by the writers.

* Cook from ''[[Skins]]'' could be considered this, as he was rather unpopular in his first series, but Jamie Brittain, co-showrunner of ''[[Skins]]'', still more or less admitted he worshipped the ground the character walked on and he was injected into just about every storyline. This became less of an issue in Series 4, though, when he was [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap]] and his role overall decreased in prominence. Fans are much less split, though, on their opinions of Tony from the American version of ''[[Skins]]'', who didn't seem believable as the most popular guy in school and overall just came off as a whiny little twit, especially with James Newman's terrible acting. Yet, the writers kept shoving him in the viewers' faces, with him even getting it on with the show's resident ''lesbian''.

* Judie Byrd receives this from many [[Family Net]] viewers due to the channel's insistence on considering her show 'Judie Byrd's Kitchen' to be one of their most popular shows. It has gotten to the point that the only 'special' programming that they air on Thanksgiving is a 14-hour marathon of Judie Byrd's Kitchen on Turkey Day. That being said, many [[Family Net]] viewers are SICK of Judie Byrd!
