Love 'Em or Hate 'Em? Divisive TV Characters

Oliver Trask

Thanks to Marissa-lovin' psycho Oliver, 'The O.C.' jumped the shark before its first season even came to end. A new record?

Kimmy Gibbler

An already 'Full House' really didn't need an annoying teen neighbor with no parental guidance dropping by.

Steve Urkel

Sure 'Family Matters,' but did that have to involve the ever-present Steve Urkel or his 2.0 version, Stephan Urquelle?

Kim Bauer

Only nepotism can take you from nanny to CTU analyst on '24.' Even Jack Bauer's daughter cannot live on genetics alone.

Ally McBeal

Too bad the show was named after 'Ally.' It made killing off the pouty, boy-crazy, dancing-baby lover impossible.

Dawson Leery

'Dawson's Creek' was a good title since the main character was so wishy-washy. No wonder Joey picked Pacey.

Brenda Walsh

'Beverly Hills, 90210' fans despised the bitchy, spoiled Walsh twin so much, they started an 'I Hate Brenda' newsletter.

Ana Lucia Cortez

Many were 'Lost' as to why Ana Lucia got to hook up with Sawyer even though she "accidentally" shot hottie Shannon.

Aleksandr Petrovsky

This speedbump to a happy 'Sex and the City' ending had one good quality: his huge apartment (which, in NYC, is very sexy).

Sondra Tibideaux

Oldest 'Cosby Show' daughter Sondra was so lifeless, even her dad preferred hanging out with her husband, Elvin.

Lauren Reed

No way 'Alias' good guy Michael Vaughn would ever marry anyone besides Sydney -- much less an evil double agent.

Sonny Corinthos

How did a murdering mobster become the leading man on a show called 'General Hospital'?

Susan Mayer

Susan's obsession with Mike Delfino on 'Desperate Housewives' has gone from lovable to looney.

Dawn Summers

No 'Vampire Slayer' really needs a whiny kid sister hanging around. Even if she is a Key, or whatever.
