Top 10 Reasons Why Adding a New Character to a TV Show Usually Fails

TV shows tend to add new characters to a show which almost always ends up failing wither they serve no purpose, are forced or just unpleasant to watch.

The Top Ten

1 They feel forced

2 They're created out of desperation to gain more viewers

3 They end up ruining the show

4 They serve no purpose

Sparky from The Fairly OddParents did nothing for a whole Season.

The show could've went on without them, it already did before.

5 They end up replacing favorite characters

6 They have very little or no character development

When you add new characters, they need to actually BE characters. Not an emotionless, realistic-looking robot, (unless it's sci-fi and it has emotions), but a fleshed out character.

7 People end up hating them

8 They feel out of place

9 They throw off the cast dynamic

10 You can tell the writers ran out of ideas

The Contenders

11 It's hard getting use to a new character

12 They do very little to contribute to the show

13 They are unfunny
