5 Most Unlikeable Lead Characters In A Sitcom
If you've got yourself a nifty little show with a hated lead character, you've got yourself a bit of a problem. Sitcoms can get away with it... Most of the time. They can use humour as a cover up for someone being a bit of a tit, such as Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory. You're not supposed to like him because he's a massive tool, but he's funny, so we laugh, and then realise he is what makes the show great. But not every sitcom can nail this. Some leads are just nasty pieces of work that aren't funny and have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. And you'd be surprised how many shows make this mistake. Obviously this is all down to a matter of opinion, because not everyone finds Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory as funny as others, some people outright hate him. So I've tried to be a bit less judgemental here... Well, tried.
