The Most Universally Despised TV Characters of All Time

Ted Mosby – How I Met Your Mother

Spoilers ahead!It’s an understatement to say that fans of HIMYM were let down by the finale, but Ted Mosby was the greatest disappointment of all. It became increasingly difficult to root for the main character when he spent the entire duration of the show trying to find the “perfect” woman, even after they turned him down. By the time Ted revealed his perfect match, she was already dead. And then he ended up with Robin. Seriously? Seriously? Whoever greenlit the ending of this show should go to jail.

Debbie Gallagher – Shameless

Debbie, Debbie, Debbie… what happened to you? The charming little girl from the first three seasons of Shameless is long gone. Most of the Gallagher siblings have at least one redeeming quality, but Debbie seems to have lost her heart somewhere in the mix. Over the course of the show, Debbie evolves into an immature, entitled, deeply troubled young woman. Thankfully, by the ninth season, she gets her stuff together, finding passion in the field of welding and new motherhood.
