10 Once-Lovable TV Characters Who Became Completely Repulsive

Is it wrong to single out an adopted toddler as the absolute worst thing to ever happen to a TV show? If so...why does it feel so right?

All babies are cute in some way or another - even if it's just in that "Awww, she doesn't know where her feet are?" kind of way - but the infant version of Lily was a full-blown 10 on the kewpie scale. And although this might be an unpopular opinion, she was even great (briefly) as a yappy toddler, delivering very adult, crass lines with just the right balance of naiveté and hostility.

But then, as kids do, she grew up and became a bratty, almost demonic little child. There's nothing cute or funny about the things Lily does and says now. It's all bad, and Lily now serves merely as a fantastic reminder of why birth control is important.

Any scene with this little hellion is hokey, like there's a terrifying stage mom just offscreen demanding that she "exude that famous Hathaway-Garland blend, dammit!"

No sitcom character should make you want to punt a child across the room.
