New Year Celebration: Worst Character Countdown

The new year is upon us and most of us were awake to watch the big countdown. Each year, millions gather to count down to a new year, something that never appealed to me. This year was the first year I did not participate in watching the ball drop because the countdown wasn't important to me. Today I was thinking about what countdowns are important to me. I consulted my "Countdown App" that counts down to events I have programed. Among the events I deem worthy are all my school vacations (42 days, 21 hours, and 5 mins until the next one) and the season 3 premiere of Girls on HBO (11 days, 4 hours, 49 mins). Today I have assembled the countdown of 10 of the best and worst characters in television (in my limited experience and opinion). I will attempt to describe each character in a sentence.

Worst Characters: The characters I cannot love

10. Karen Cartwright from Smash: Karen has many redeeming qualities but is too bland and whiny to earn my respect.

9. Tamara from Awkward: Tamara starts out as funny but her constant spewing of nonsensical phrases has grown annoying.

8. Hannah Horvath from Girls: Hannah makes both lists because sometimes she acts completely crazy and makes choices I cannot understand and is therefore annoying.

7. Jenna Hamilton from Awkward: Jenna cannot get her act together and I am getting tired of her complaining.

6. Celia Hodes from Weeds: Celia is mean and selfish with very few redeeming qualities... especially in regard to parenting.

5. Ellis Tancharoen from Smash: Ellis is slimy, untrustworthy, and an all around terrible person.

4. Adam from Girls: Adams is creepy, gross, and occasionally borderline abusive. Needless to say, I find it very hard to sympathize with him.

3. Joffrey Baratheon from Game of Thrones: Joffery is mean and pure evil with zero redeeming qualities.

2. Cook from Skins: Cook is supposed to be one of the heroes of the show but he is vulgar to the point of being labeled "a disgusting human being".

1. Jimmy Collins from Smash: Jimmy is ungrateful, rude, and has a temper issue. He is supposed to be a hero but I cannot help but root for his decline due to my complete lack of sympathy. He is utterly infuriating.
