8 TV Character Changes That Worked Perfectly

8. The Office US - Andy Bernard

When Andy was first introduced in Season 3 of the American adaptation of The Office, he was the classic office annoyance: he kissed asses, called his co-workers derogatory or ridiculous nicknames without their consent, and sang aloud out of nowhere; confusing and disrupting the bullpen because no one had ever put him in his place.

From the get-go he was perceived as a flat-out antagonist; deliberately getting Dwight fired, undermining many of his cohorts, showing worrying spats of anger management and just generally getting on every-bodies nerves.

But after a couple seasons, Andy's behavior and his storyline fluctuated from the butt of the jokes, to sad-sack, to Office Screwball, to eventually redeeming himself as one of the few characters with morals and maturity. After the departure of Michael Scott, Andy eventually earns his place as the Office Manager and for a while he seemed to fit the bill perfectly.

However it was short-lived, and after disappearing for half a season, Andy returned back into his snarky self, and in the final few episodes of the series grew to be uncomfortably unlikable. At least for a short time, he was one of the better characters in the series.
