You love them, but you just love to hate them a little bit more.

Any new character being introduced to an already well-loved series is subjected to a trial by fire. The audience either loves them or hates them, and more often than not, they're not too shy about letting you know. We've compiled a few of the most famous (and infamous) new character arrivals on an already existing series, and we're asking you whether they improved the quality of the show, or stunk up the place.

If this was a question, then what about Darrin and the other Darrin? (Dick York vs Dick Sergeant)
And the new writers ruined MASH. And Alan Alda. But I'll still watch it, lol. What is it about that show? I knock it all the time but I still watch it, smh. Maybe I need therapy. Sidney?
I know these aren't METV shows but I just had to get this off my chest, lol
