Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/{{Moesha}}'': Upon rewatching the series, Frank and even Moesha come off as this. Frank for his overprotective tendencies (even SlutShaming Moesha for a tattoo) and cheating on his late wife, along with enabling Moesha's bratty behavior towards Dee. Moesha for her behavior to Dee and how she looks down on her friends, especially Kim.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/TheHauntingHour'': Jason from "Bad Egg" is introduced as a trouble-making, smartmouth brat who everyone looks down on, but the episode wants us to see him as a JerkWithAHeartOfGold forming a strong friendship with a monster who everyone judges as evil like he is. Eventually, the baby monster helps him grow as a better person thanks to the power of their friendship. Unfortunately, Jason does not make himself look completely innocent when he goes out of his way to annoy his parents, picks on his little brother (who ''does'' like him), causes even more problems while trying to save the baby monster, increases issues for the government agents who are trying to prevent the creatures from being loose on the public, and by the end has no shred of regret for any of his actions and promises to cause ''even more mischief'' with his pet monster at military school. Not exactly traits one would give to a lovable kid hero.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': Lady Christina de Souza, the ClassyCatBurglar from "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E15PlanetOfTheDead Planet of the Dead]]". She is meant to be a heroic companion figure, but arguably nothing she does is particularly heroic -- only self-preservation. She is introduced stealing a museum artifact and doesn't seem at all unhappy that her possible boyfriend gets arrested. Finally the Doctor helping her escape the police is meant to be seen as a great moment, and [=McMillian=] as an InspectorJavert for wanting to arrest her. However he was completely justified in arresting her. To add insult to injury, in ComicBook/DoctorWhoIDW she still gets away with committing crimes after leaving Earth.
