10 Pointless TV Characters Who Served Absolutely No Purpose

6. Dale, "The Walking Dead"

dale walking dead "The Walking Dead" is one of the best supernatural shows on TV right now, but it has one major problem: the lack of depth in its characters. Although the show as a whole is fascinating, there are very few characters that I have managed to care about. Countless characters have come and gone on the popular zombie apocalypse drama but only a few whose names I can actually remember (two are on this list). Take Dale, for example. One can argue that the only purpose Dale served was to complain and annoy everyone. He annoyed Andrea, Shane, Herschel and the audience by complaining about every decision or action everyone made. His increasingly irritating presence on the show came to an abrupt end when he was bit by a walker that Carl failed to shoot. He was then quickly and reasonably forgotten. Thanks Carl.
