I’ve got a bit of the mid-winter hibernations going on these days, and have been watching quite a bit of TV in the process (alongside studying, crafting, photo projects, etc.) I thought I’d play a little divisive game in which I decide who I think the best (characterrific!) and worst (characturd!) characters are on some current teevee shows. Oh heck, maybe some shows that are no longer on the air, too. Here goes round one:
Show: Characterrific: Characturd
Downton Abbey: Violet (Maggie Smith): Edith (ugggh!) and O’Brien (its a tie)
dowager on duty…yay!
Revenge: Nolan (especially post haircut): Charlotte (dullsville)
Once Upon a Time: Captain Hook (le sigh): Henry (cue annoying child…)
Mad Men: Roger Sterling (makes me laugh almost every episode): Sally Draper (I swear its not just the kids on shows that I hate, she’s just really awful)
bratty mcstupid… nay!
Nashville: Deacon, Rayna, Juliet: Scarlett (she is so beyond annoying I can hardly stand it)
The Bachelor: hmmmm still thinking… okay, the booty dancing 50 shades of gray chick for the laughs: the woman in the wedding dress/returning “kacey” chick from ben season who is judgemental about our “characterrific” contestant despite being a lump of boring human waste/ emotional catastrophe herself.
Girls: Hannah: Hannah. No, wait, characturd actually goes to Jessa, she makes no sense whatsoever.
so wrong its right… er… yay!
America’s Next Top Model: Janice Dickinson (bring her back!), Nigel Barker (is he still on the show?) Okay, I guess Tyra…: Both Mr. Jay and his lame Katy Perry stylist replacement
What are all of your opinions on these characters? Agree/disagree/ agree to disagree/ alternate ideas? Suggestions for other shows to pick apart?

I kind of like Henry in Once Upon A Time – at least in the first season. sure he’s kind of annoying, but usually Emma should be listening to him!
O’brien can make my blood boil, but Thomas is my absolute least favorite characters from Downton.
maybe I was just in an annoyed mood towards kids when I was writing this haha. I need to catch up on my downton abbey I think, it sounds like the more I watch, when I see season 2 maybe I’ll remember/ see how bad Thomas is, because absolutely everyone has been saying that.
I like Shirley MacLaine’s character on Downton Abbey. The Dowager Countess has started to bother me a little, since she is such a snob.
I’ve only seen season one of downton, so I am a little behind.
Hahah I definitely laughed out loud at Sally Draper!LOL Too. Funny. But definitely agree with Roger.
I don’t watch ANTM anymore but Nigel is gone! I think he’s actually doing another model show? But don’t quote me on it.
Hmm that is worth looking into!
I haven’t seen ANY of those shows except for ANTM! And I hated this last season of ANTM. Soooo bad. I dislike the new judges. And also? Tyra is NOT a college graduate! Lies, lies, lies.
(Oh, you’re wondering if I’ll watch the next season? Well, yeah. Of course. Ha!)
haha, I know- no matter how bad it gets, I still end up watching as soon as I run out of other stuff to watch, especially when working out or crafting
I’ve only seen the older seasons of Once Upon a Time and Revenge, but I could see these being true. I do love those shows, but I watch on Netflix, so I’m sadly behind.
I am mad I didn’t start watching scandal until it was on netflix, because now I’m a season behind and want to watch the newer season on my laptop but I don’t want to miss the beginning of season 2… so I’ll end up probably waiting forever or forgetting about it.
I’ve been into winter hibernation as well, haha it’s the damn weather! Once Upon A Time was a good show, I stopped watching it a while back but I would like to get into it!
oh man you have to start again if only for hot captain hook!
I actually haven’t seen any of those shows- I’m so out of it!
haha, well that explains the beautiful foods on your blog
I want Miss Jay back on ANTM! And Nigel … so dreamy

Even Twiggy was better than the lame-os they have now.
O’Brien? How about Thomas! He is the worst!
I’m realizing maybe my limited amount of downton I’ve seen is my problem- I’ve only seen season 1 and its been quite awhile. come on netflix, get season 2!
Of those shows, the only ones I watch are Downton Abbey and OUAT, and I mostly agree with you, except that Thomas is totally my characaturd for DA, and Rumplestiltskin is my fave on OUAT. Hook is pretty hot though…
I think I have some catching up to do on DA- I have only seen season 1.
