Was a TV show you like ever ruined by the addition of a particular character to the point that you had to quit, or nearly quit? (kbin.social)

I stopped watching Big Bang theory after Bernadette became a regular. The way she constantly belittled her husband and talked down to him really rubbed me the wrong way. Made any scene she was in hard to enjoy until I just stopped watching entirely.

Idk, that show wasn't easy to watch to begin with (the wife and I lived with her parents who would put it on in the background), they were pretty much all mean to each other, everything was mean about that show, everyone talked down to everyone else. I'm not sure when the character you brought up came in, but I think that was the modua operandi of that show.

For me, it was the addition of Amy Farrah Fowler. Every scene she was in it looked like she was trying so hard and nothing she ever said was remotely funny. I actually liked the early seasons when it was a bunch of socially inept nerds navigating life.

Then they started banging 10's and it was Two and A Half Men with Star Wars references.

I only recently binged Big Bang Theory and the only way to watch it is 2x speed. I don't know why but watching it normal speed, the show just seems so stilted and terrible. But 2x speed, the jokes land better and I find the show actually watchable.

It's a character on a comedy show, I had no problem with that. The problem was that Howie's character was destroyed and he stopped being funny after they got together.
