Line 56:
* When they replaced Linda Hamilton's character Catherine in the CBS-TV series ''Beauty and the Beast'', some fans didn't take lightly to that.
* The television adaptations of [[Agatha Christie]]'s ''[[Poirot]]'' and ''[[Miss Marple]]'' can receive this treatment. In particular, the Marple adaptations starring Geraldine McEwan have been known to take great liberties with the original source material, adding in plots and characters which were not present in the originals. Conversely, the Poirot adaptations starring David Suchet have generally remained faithful to the novels, but they have also made certain changes in style, setting and approach (the stories all take place in a general [[Genteel Interbellum Setting]] rather than across the period of 1916–1970 as with the originals) that have come under criticism. In particular, the adaptation of ''The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd'' came under fire for this; the original does, however, hinge on a narrative technique that is rather more difficult to replicate in live action.
* When [[The ABC]] chose to hire a new host for the popular gaming show ''[[Good Game]]'', it meant they had to farewell longtime host Jeremy "Junglist" Ray. Fans erupted with emphatic disdain, spamming the forum with hate for the new host, Stephanie "Hex" Bendixsen, and crying that they would '''never''' watch ''Good Game'' again, or until Junglist came back. They started a [http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=189532430599 Facebook page] (now renamed with its cause given up) and a Web site (formerly at savejunglist.com, but it's now been bought out by one of those spam search engine or domain parking sites). The cause was forgotten little more than a fortnight later. That doesn't stop the [[Fan Dumb]] whining about how bad the show has become during every week's feedback board on [https://web.archive.org/web/20131113020528/http://www2b.abc.net.au/tmb/Client/Board.aspx?b=59 their forum].
* ''[[Human Target]]'' added two new main characters and changed the dynamic of the show in the second season. This is not universally loved. At all.
* So far, all signs point to the live-action adaptation of ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' as being an excellent [[Adaptation Distillation]]. But that hasn't stopped people complaining about how the deaths of two [[Red Shirt|Red Shirts]] in the prologue and first chapter were switched.
