History TheScrappy / LiveActionTv

** Worst, in Forever Red, Cole SINGLE-HANDEDLY took out Darkanda. You remember Darkonda, right? The enormous zord-like ship that was said to be impossible to defeat? Cole defeated it, by himself, without even using his zord.

* The Purple Parrots from TheLegendsOfTheHiddenTemple. While no one really "hates" them, they are the most put down team. They won the least temple runs, and made it to the temple less then any of the teams. Plus, the network often skrewed them, with putting the shortest, least-talented kids on that team.

** Pretty much any female companion or almost companion in the new series has a faction of the fanbase that dislikes her and accuses her of being a MarySue: perhaps with some justification, but more frequently for being repetitive and somewhat anodyne. This would include Rose, Martha, Donna, Astrid, Jenny, River Song, and most recently Lady Christina. Jenny was apparently declared a Sue before the episode featuring her even aired because, of course, the episode was entitled "The Doctor's Daughter" and any suggestion the Doctor has or could have children is anathema to a certain segment of the base that thinks the Doctor is and always has been celibate.

** A lot of Mandy's Scrappiness was her inability to fit in with the compassionate, quirky, slightly bumbling, bleeding-heart, idealistic senior staff. Unlike most TV shows, every single main character on The West Wing was a member of one single [[{{Nakama}} unified, close-knit team]], and Mandy, being the only exception and not a very important one at that, was left floating.

** Mandy was also blamed by fans for blighting several season 1 scenes by doing things and being involved in plots that, in the hands of other characters, would have been interesting. How by dint of [[FlatCharacter flatness]], making said plots and actions boring and annoying. Suffice to say that CJ would probably have been even cooler than she already was had Mandy not been created.

* ''PowerRangersSPD'' has Sam, the Omega Ranger, because he was just a ball of light and we really don't know anything about him just added to the hatred. And when he finally appeared out of costume for all of three seconds, it was seen as a huge insult to the fanbase.

** Tommy Oliver has a bit of a hatedom. This appears to be in hindsight, though, since if you ask anybody who grew up in TheNineties their favorite Power Ranger, only those who still watch the show will most likley not say Tommy. Those who insist he is TheScrappy say so for all the usal reasons: SpotlightStealingSquad, MarySue, ShillingTheWesley (which depends on him being TheWesley in the first place, rather than fan demand)...

* Between the bad acting, personality void, and being the only character to have nearly so much make-up and hair care AfterTheEnd, Emily Sullivan was fairly quick to become ''{{Jericho}}'' fandom's least favorite. Matters weren't helped later in the season, with her lack of caring about her fiance and being seen as a rival - in general as well as [[DieForOurShip romantically]] - to recurring character Heather.

** Wolowitz is a BrokenBase case - half of the fans find his TheLeisureSuitLarry antiques hilarious, while the other half never found it funny in the first place and wish he gets less screentime.

* Just write that you think Jenna from ''DegrassiTheNextGeneration'' is not so bad, or even goodness forbid that you like her and see what happens.

** Further, it's okay for [=McCoy=] to insult Spock because Vulcans have a high amount of political power and nobody would cite Spock's being a Vulcan as a reason to remove him from command. Data on the other hand goes through ''genuine'' prejudice over his status as an android, with officers questioning if Data can do things like make command decisions or care for small children. At the time in which Pulaski was on the ship, Data wasn't even being recognized as a sentient being, and thus had none of the rights that would entail. Keeping all this in mind, Pulaski's slamming of Data's cold logic making him inferior to humans just makes her look like a bigot. Pulaski was also regularly cited by other characters as having a very kind and compassionate personality. Her treatment of Data says otherwise.

** Another Scrappy on the show would not so much be a character but multiple characters played by the same actress. These would be the multitude of Ali Larter clone characters. Once the first character ran her course fans were happy to see her character's storyline come to a close and Ali Larter to be done on ''{{Heroes}}'', but WAIT ''{{Heroes}}'' fans were introduced to a concept that no matter how many characters played by Ali Larter die, there could always be another one in hiding. In the promos for season 4 it is shown that Ali Larter's many characters have become a Wesley as the next season centers around her. Unless she is in a whipped cream bikini there really isn't a reason to keep her around, her acting is horrible. The only good thing about this Scrappy is you actually get to watch her die multiple times on the show and though each one is exciting for the fans, it is bittersweet because the fans know she'll always return as Gina, or Brenda, or Cookie, or Lanora, or any other name and random power you can put on her.

** The Doctor himself hasn't escaped Scrappy-dom, either; both the Sixth Doctor (as played by Colin Baker) and the Seventh Doctor (as played by [=Sylvester McCoy=]) are considered Scrappies by certain parts of fandom. This mainly applies to their television portrayals, however, both of which are agreed to have been debuted in a particularly difficult era of the show's history which affected the way both were introduced and presented; it's widely agreed that the various ExpandedUniverse media featuring these characters has largely contributed to them being RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap.
