19 Storylines From Beloved TV Shows That Made Viewers Want To Throw Their Remote

19 Most Hated TV Storylines From Beloved Shows

2.

"The fake serial killer storyline on The Wire felt a little too outlandish for the realism of the rest of the show. It definitely felt like the writers were stuck on how to get McNulty fired without making him unlikable. Although it did give us the psyche evaluation scene, so it’s not all terrible."

"Jeff meeting his dad in Community. It just feels so forced. I remember that Dan Harmon commented on his podcast that the other executives from NBC pushed for that storyline, but he was stalling them because he wanted to get Bill Murray to play William. Then, when he got fired after Season 3, the executives pushed for it again and it ended up being cliché-filled weirdness."

5.

"Kind of a hot take but the overarching alien conspiracy plot in The X-Files. It's clear by Season 4 that Chris Carter doesn't have this story set up in his head and he's spinning wheels. The monster of the week episodes are vastly preferable."

8.

"The episodes with 'The President' in Rick & Morty. It went from, 'Wow, he’s really becoming a proper side character' to 'No, please not another entire episode.'"

11.

"The reveal of who Gossip Girl turned out to be. It made no sense. Loved it otherwise."

12.

"It’s not that I didn’t like that the Connors won the lottery in Season 9 of Roseanne, but some of the episodes where they hang with the 'rich and famous' were really bad."

15.

"Giving Keeley her own storyline in Season 3 of Ted Lasso. It had little/nothing to do with Ted or Richmond, and was just filler to give Juno Temple more screen time. The show was about redemption, and her character had already been redeemed."

18.

"Everything post-Season 4 of Dexter."

19.

And finally, "Basically, the whole last season of Superstore. COVID really hit them hard, and losing America Ferrera as a main character did not help in the slightest. It all felt so hollow to have Amy take her kids and leave Jonah behind after they spent the last 5 seasons building up to them being together. They tried to fix it in the finale, but the damage was done, in my eyes."
