TV villains are usually a delight to watch, but sometimes they miss the mark. Here are characters we ended up wishing would just go away.
Ellis from "Smash"
A show like Smash needs conniving backstabbers to keep things interesting, but Ellis was anything but. His biggest misdeed was homicidal — trying to poison Uma Thurman with a peanut-laden smoothie — and it was still too stupid to be taken seriously. Thankfully, he has been written off the show, along with the rest of Smash's dead weight.

Faye Resnick from "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills"
We've already been over why real-life villain Faye Resnick is the absolute worst, so why is Bravo giving her more and more screentime? She's not nearly as engaging as Season 1 villain Camille — since redeemed as St. Camille — and she's not even as charmingly insane as medium Allison DuBois. Ever since she decided to pick a fight with Brandi, she's become irredeemable.

Meg from "Supernatural"
I've got no beef with the O.G. Meg Masters — or rather, the demon that possessed her. But that demon has since possessed the body of a much worse actress. Now whenever she pops up on Supernatural to tussle with the Winchesters, she's an unwelcome addition. Bring back Ruby. (Katie Cassidy Ruby, obviously. Accept no substitutes.)

Taylor Doose from "Gilmore Girls"
Ugh, Taylor Doose, the embodiment of small-town politics and useless bureaucracy. He's supposed to be the lovable thorn in Lorelai's side, but he's actually just awful. Then again, basically everyone in Stars Hollow was a pain in the ass — any chance we could live there with just Rory, Lorelai, and Luke? Send Taylor (and all the other busybodies) far, far away.
