Unnecessary and Unwanted: The Worst TV Cast Additions

March 5th, 2008 3:33pm EST  Post a comment

Ted McGinleyYou know them, you loathe them. They are the unnecessary, obnoxious and often just plain annoying mid-series additions to established shows. Sure, there are times when a compelling, fresh-faced character is introduced and breathes new life into a series. Unfortunately, those instances are few and far between. Like with most of the television industry, the bad in this case far outweighs the good.

She wasn't the worst, but Kirstie Alley didn't fill Shelley Long's shoes on "Cheers"even though she is doing great on the Jenny Craig commercials.

I didn't mind those changes,even though I always wondered what happened to Steve on "Married With Children." Raven was tolerable on the "Cosby Show". Brian Bonsall was okay too.

I thought I was the only one who changed the channel when it was known Raven would be on. She was cute as a button, but she really grated on my nerves. She tried a little too hard. And that Pam (Erika Alexander)! Talk about desperation. Even though she wasn't a kid, they brought her in to replace the kids who had flown the coop. Worst addition ever. "Cosby" went downhill fast after those two additions.

The worst case for inept replacement has to fall on Barbara Walters sholders. When the View started it had a wonderful asian woman, Lisa Ling .who now does documtaries for National. Geographic. When she left the show her replacement was Merideth Verra. Merideth made it a daily practice to work the word X@@##! into every discussion.
Later Merideth was replaced with you know who. Now the show is offers no intelligent conversation yet for some reason has lasted 10 years. Beats me.
