Debra Morgan and Maria LaGuerta from Dexter.
Taub form House. That sad sack routine got pretty old especially after how much of a self-serving douche he turned out to be.
I thought I was the only one!
Sansa in Game of Thrones
least likable character in the show, and that's quite an achievement
With everything she is going through right now I can see her character changing. She is getting the spoilt child beaten out of her. I' starting to like her.
However The complete opposite for this guy (I loved him in the first season):
is it odd that most of these characters are female?
Nope, not at all. Male writers have issues writing female characters.

No, you posted one of the most likeable characters. you were meant to post this little fuck:
The Shield. Great show, but the 2 worst TV wives I've ever seen.
Great post. By far the weakest parts about that show.

This. I hated her in first season, I was so mad at the bulls*** she said "ooooh I'mma marry a prince and have blonde haired babiez".
I hope she will do something
with her new maid.
F*** Joffrey. Spear through neck.
Frank Burns
Insufferable, and written to make you hate and laugh at him without a single ounce of pity. Bar the rare glimmer of something more, it was his job to hold the "kick me" sign for as long as he was on the show.
In contrast...
Charles Winchester
Insufferable, but written to win you over with time. To say he replaced Burns is to simplify, he exceeded that role and became one of the show's most interesting characters. Arrogant, elitist, funny, and moving in ways his predecessor never came close to equaling.

Really absolutely despise this character:
I'm not a person of violence but if I saw Larry Hagman, old as he is now, walking down the street, I'd be very tempted to sock him in the face for the character he played.

Logan Echols from Veronica Mars. I fucking hated the guy. The actor pulled him off spectacularly, and I admit he was written well... but it doesn't mean I necessarily enjoyed him as a character. I just genuinely disliked everything about him.
dexter got bad alright, but the reason i stopped watching was her.
Woah, you're back. Good to see you again!
People in this thread are clearly mixing up "this actor sucks/this is a badly written character" with "intentionally flawed/evil character".

She just has this constant, "for fuck sake, what do you want?" look on her face. If I worked with her, I'd avoid her like the plague.
is it odd that most of these characters are female?
Sums up EXACTLY how I feel. Thanks, PD.

Guys, let's do shots and get crazy!

IT STILL HURTSWow, good call on both. Hadn't thought that far back...
My vote is easy:
Between the two of them and their insufferable, uninspired 'antics' that are written into every %#@#$@! episode, I almost can't watch anymore.

Yes fuck her and her fucking shitty inability to fucking not swear every third fucking word. Never have I hated a tv character as much as her, fuck her. But really nearly all the supporting cast in Dexter sucks now, just none as hard as Deb. Betty from mad men is a good choice too, but at least she is hot... Or well, was. Betty being bitchy is one thing but she's quite clearly just crazy now, poor Sally, Bobby and that new kid.
This.
I really just want them to die, but I know it won't happen. At least not anytime soon.

This is one of the best examples of a jerk with a heart of gold on tv ever. Really loved him. Burns was perfect for the fun MASH though, Winchester was just necessary on dramedy MASH.

Tobias from Arrested Development. He's the weak spot in the cast for me because all of the other characters have some redeeming or endearing trait that makes you care about them. Tobias just seems like a self-centered idiot.
Hurly has the best story dude! One of the highlights of the show is seeing his chicken place get hit by a meteor.
Fuck this guy and his story.
I went into more detail in the last thread about this topic, so I won't repost all that. Instead, I'll just link you to the imdb page for The 4400. Take your pick. Every single character on the show is hateable for one reason or another.

But especially her:

And I say this not minding his character come the end of the show.

Connie is worse than both of them.

Joffrey Baratheon - Game of Thrones
Joffrey is awesome. I can't remember the last time I've really hated a character in a tv show because of how evil he was, not because of how poorly the actor was or how terribly written the character was. Joffrey does such a fantastic job of making me hate his ass that I like it.
He makes me so god damn angry though, I think if I lived like next door to him and I was near his age, I'd probably fight his ass every fucking day until he moves or I move out of the city because I'd get his acting mixed up to how his real life is.
Just wish more shows had characters like this. Spartacus came somewhat close in the first season.

Fantastic post! Burns was (with very few exceptions) so shallowly written that I felt sorry for the actor. He was a pointless, petty human being.
Winchester is a fantastic character, fills the "Burns" gap yet bringing a humanity to the role of Hawkeye's gentle rival.
Its a brilliant example of the same concept, badly and godly realised.

If you hadn't worded that so politely we'd be in fisticuffs right now.

Tara from True Blood:
Good answer. While we're at it, Jason is annoying as fuck on there too because he's such a fucking unrepentant dumbshit.

However The complete opposite for this guy (I loved him in the first season):
Littlefinger is one of those characters that waivers around between likability and being a total douche. Characters like him are one of GRRM's strengths when it comes to writing stuff.

I am a Deb fan in Dexter. I must be crazyyy. One of the VERY few things I still enjoy about that show.
