10 Pointless TV Characters Who Served Absolutely No Purpose

7. Betty Draper, "Mad Men"

betty draper mad men I may be in the minority here, but I actually like Betty Draper. I get a kick out of her bitchiness and her pointless therapy sessions. Her fights with daughter Sally are always entertaining. But after she divorced Don in season three, was there really a reason to keep her on the show anymore? With Don's newest wife Megan in the picture now, Betty's presence seems pointless. In the most recent season, Betty's appearances dwindled and her story line involved her dealing with weight issues. In other words, there was no connection to Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce.
