Buffy the Vampire Slayer, arguably one of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/teen-drama-tv-shows-and-series/reference">best teen dramas</a> to ever be produced on television, introduced more than a handful of memorable characters to the world. It also&nbsp;gave Joss Whedon his first taste of legitimate success&nbsp;and was one of the first shows to have a female-driven narrative that wasn’t all about boys. Though the series aired from 1997 to&nbsp;2003, it feels like the costume designs never left the '90s.&nbsp;Some of the lamest Buffy villains&nbsp;reflect that influence to the nth degree. While there are things that only <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/things-buffy-the-vampire-fans-have-noticed/candice-darden">hard-core Buffy fans noticed</a>, most people recognized that Buffy the Vampire Slayer&nbsp;had some dumb-looking bad guys&nbsp;that&nbsp;resembled Rob Zombie video extras. If you don't remember any lame antagonists&nbsp;who ended up on Buffy&nbsp;after failing a GWAR&nbsp;audition, it's&nbsp;time to look back to&nbsp;when the show&nbsp;was running low on creative juices and vote up the villains with the most&nbsp;unoriginal&nbsp;'90s roots that were only possible in that era.&nbsp;

When a television show first starts, the writers of the program already have the star in mind. They write for the characters they think the audience will relate to and like the most and design the show around those characters. However, once the show hits the airwaves, the viewers don&rsquo;t always agree. Sometimes the true star of the show is the unlikeliest candidate. The breakout character is usually a character who was introduced as part of the supporting cast, but for one reason or another became a fan favorite. This list of the greatest breakout characters in TV history includes characters from both comedies and dramas and has been ranked by the community.

The breakout character on a TV show usually becomes the most discussed and most loved part of the show. He or she has the funniest lines, the best stories, and is portrayed by the favorite actor. After a positive audience reaction, these breakout characters suddenly start to get more screen time and story lines. Characters like <a href="https://groovyhistory.com/aaay-fonzie-happy-days-stories" target="_blank">Fonzie</a> and Ben Linus were never meant to be huge parts of their shows, but after their introduction, it was inevitable that they&rsquo;d become pivotal to the show&rsquo;s success. Some breakout characters, like Frasier Crane, even go on to star in their own series.

List of the best TV grumps. Male or female, these are the greatest grumpy TV characters - television curmudgeons whose pessimistic rants and antics usually make viewers laugh. From the original great famous TV grumps, including Fred Sanford and Archie Bunker, to the new generation of angry TV characters such as <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-red-forman-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes">Red Forman</a> and Sue Sylvester, they’re all here.&nbsp;Why is it that we love TV’s curmudgeons? They’re unhappy, they complain, they’re pessimistic, and they often try to make everyone around them miserable, too. The best TV grumps remain lovable, however, because they tap into our own grumpy sides; besides, their rantings and predictions of doom and gloom often have no effect on anyone else. The other characters in a TV show know that they’re dealing with a grouch, and carry on accordingly. In some cases, of course, the greatest grumps on TV really do make others’ lives miserable, but the curmudgeonly, grumpy character usually gets what’s coming to him or her in the end, which makes it okay.The best grumps on television are usually funny, as well. Frank Costanza generally looks like he’s about to pop a blood vessel, but his ravings are hilarious. And underneath it all, many TV curmudgeons have a softer, warmer side. Who can blame a gentle-hearted person for putting up a mean front to protect their tender emotions? Viewers understand this about the best TV curmudgeons: They might seem mean, but they’re often concealing a caring personality - and if they inspire a few laughs in the process, that’s all the better. Both female and male TV curmudgeons are included; after all, women can be just as crabby as men.
