It’s sad how far the show fell when Charlie Sheen was fired. He was literally made to play the role of a womanizing alcoholic. When Ashton Kutcher stepped in the main character basically became a hipster and all the humor dried up. Essentially he lowered that series into the grave.

Can you think of any other replacement/addition to a show that had a disastrous effect?

When Home Improvement added that uncle that was low-key a pedophile and ended up with Wilson having to kill him with a lawn dart and dispose of his body while Tim talked to the police.

Season 3 of The OC - Johnny:



After what was a great show for 2 years, Season 3 was absolute garbage and this dude was one of the main reasons why.

SPOILERS

When a guy is still annoying AF even after he dies, you have a horribly written character.

They put the whole show on Jon Cryer and no one wants to watch a Jon Cryer led show.

I quit the show after in season 3 because of this character. I came back in the final season once Marissa was gone. It got its vibe back after that, but it was just too late to salvage.

Johnny effectively killed the show.

No single character killed Andy Griffith... Color and losing Don Knotts killed it.

It's amazing how much Tory hurt saved by the bell. It was the total opposite of Leah Remeni.

It's what happens when one is annoying and the other oozes sex appeal.

Yup. Season 4 was actually a delight, probably bc they knew the irreversible damage had already been done in S3 so they went back to their roots with over-the-top YOLO story lines at it worked.
