** Then there's the Buffy/Angel fans vs. the Buffy/Spike fans, and even a few loons who are Buffy/Riley fans.

* ''{{Victorious}}'': Tori Vega has a nature of tending to act out on others, and she has done things such as kiss other characters' boyfriends, [[WhatAnIdiot as well as not keep her mouth shut even when asked, which at one point caused Beck and herself to lose a small part in a movie]]. Because of this, some people see her as an unbearable [[JerkSue Jerk Sue]] who makes them want to throw something at the TV every time she gets her way, but others consider her a different step from the likes of previous main characters from Dan's shows. And let's not forget that she was the only girl on the show who got a chance to sing for a while.

* Season 4 of TheCW[=/=]{{BET}}'s ''TheGame''. The lack of the comedic characters Tee Tee, Tasha, Jason, And Kelly didn't help.

* ''{{Carly}}'' has the Seddie vs Creddie war. Whilst {{Shipping}} tends to do this anyway, this Sam/Freddie vs Carly/Freddie divide slowly built up during season 1, then went [[ShippingWars nuclear]] halfway through the 2nd season as of the ''iKiss'' episode which had Sam and Freddie share a FirstKiss. ItGotWorse from there. The 2 shipping factions have their own exclusive forums, the fandom as a complete 'whole' doesn't exist any more, as the size of the Seddie fandom swamps and over-runs any integrated community super quickly.

* ''GossipGirl'' The ChAir vs. DAir wars have officially come out into the open after episode 4x17. Before that, it was pretty much low level skirmishes, but with threats of Chair fans abandoning the show, it's going to be interesting what the fans of other ship bases, not just DAir, will do. With the WordofGod retracting earlier endgame pronouncements, it is an open field for war.

** Other points of contention for the new version were the JitterCam, Starbuck, and boomer [[GendedrFlip being a girl]], the RaceLift of Tigh and Boomer, recasting Baltar as an HandsomeLech AntiHero, the new lead character of Laura Roslin, the fact that the writers were making it up as they went along despite putting at the start of just about every episode during seasons one through three that "They Have a Plan", and a third season finale where all of the MIA human Cylons turned out to be known characters.

Despite that, the other characters almost always treat her like a goddess]]. This makes her either an unbearable [[JerkSue Jerk Sue]] who will make you want to throw something at the TV every time she gets her way, or someone to enjoy between her wacky situations, such as when she gets insulted back.

* As is probably inevitable among fans of a very LongRunner with a constant turnover of creators and wide variations in style from season to season, ''DoctorWho'' fandom is not so much Broken as splintered into a whole pile of glittering but sharp-edged pieces. Some debates have been running for decades but stil raise passions. The Third Doctor, charmingly anti-establishment gentleman hero or arrogant, bigoted, militaristic tool of the Man? Season 17, sparklingly intelligent highpoint of the show as comedy or unfunny, underwritten, overeducated tosh made with contempt for anyone who wasn't at Cambridge with Douglas Adams? John Nathan-Turner, producer who did his best under difficult circumstances or the Devil Incarnate Himself? Colin Baker, crap performance or good performance in crap scripts? [[SeasonalRot Worst Season Ever]], 22, 23, or 24? Seasons 25-6, SoBadItsHorrible final nail in the show's coffin or brilliant comeback ScrewedByTheNetwork? The 1989-2005 spin-off novels, superb, thoughtfully DarkerAndEdgier exploration of the full potential of the universe and characters for grown-ups, or dull, pretentious, adolescently DarkerAndEdgier, ContinuityLockout-prone {{Wangst}}-fest? Do any of the non-TV spin-offs count as canon at all?

** Which is better,campy like ''MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' or dark like ''PowerRangersTimeForce''?

* ''[=~M* A* S* H~=]'', anyone? D'you prefer the earlier seasons, before [[JumpTheShark Alan Alda took over behind the camera and it became preachy instead of funny]], or [[GrowTheBeard the later seasons, where the show realised the wacky comedy didn't fit too well, and became deep instead of dissonant]]?

*** It didn't help that the big-release MovieOfTheShow rewrote most of what was established about the mytharc, and that by Season 7 it was obvious Chris Carter and crew were making it up as they went along.

* It almost unanimous that fans of {{Roseanne}} all hate the last season. The split comes from people hating it for different reasons. Some hate the fact the conners won the lottery, changed their lifestyle and the show stopped being about a blue collar family (although this becomes a moot point when the WhamEpisode aired that season). And the latter group hate the wham episode for that very reason, not really because it made the lottery win moot, but because it made the show end on a devastating DownerEnding implying that [[spoiler: after Dan died, rosey never realized her dream of becoming a writer. And the rest of the family is still stuck in a low income working class rut]]. Of course there are a few proponents whom found the "coping method" implemented by rosie through her writing to be depressing FridgeBrilliance. As they believe there were subtle hints that [[spoiler: their lives as rich lottery winners was fake all along.]]

** And the new series has just created a whole new minefield to navigate. There's the obvious conflicts between fans of the classic series who view the new series and pretty much everything about it as a betrayal as all they felt the show stood for, and the fans of the new series who view the classic series as a creaky, irrelevant old relic badly in need of being updated in the first place. But the new series has it's own complications outside of this conflict, such as; RussellTDavies versus StevenMoffat; who's better? Ninth Doctor; fascinatingly tragic hero or borderline thug? Tenth Doctor; greatest Doctor ever or irritating git with an inconsistent and hypocritical moral code? Eleventh Doctor; worthy (or even superior) replacement to Ten or irritating git not fit to wear his sneakers? And as noted above, the increased emphasis on romance and character relations has brought with it an increased emphasis on {{Shipping}}, meaning that [[ShipToShipCombat extremely brutal]] {{FlameWar}}s can and have been fought over whether Rose Tyler / Martha Jones / Donna Noble / Amy Pond (delete as applicable) is the Doctor's One ''And Only'' True Love. Considering that Donna has absolutely no canon feelings towards the Doctor unlike the others, and Amy got over hers with--shock of shocks--minimal angsting over it (''Amy's Choice'' was really the only episode to play it up) and chose Rory this fuels even further flames.
