Filed under: Festivus, FeaturesBack in the glory days of television (when there was no cable), the idea of having a unlikeable person on a show was anathema to the networks.
Sure, there were silly or angry characters (Ralph Kramden comes to mind), but protagonists weren't actually mean or spiteful (except when the plot called for it and usually only for an episode). But after the breakthrough of 'All in the Family' and the character of Archie Bunker, jerks began to fill the television landscape, both on camera and behind the scenes.
This year saw quite a few of these boors. See which 10 stars earned themselves an "Archie Bunker award" as one of the biggest TV a**holes of 2010. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
