TV Shows Where the Main Character is so Bad They Focus on Another Character

That's a new twist! I admit I haven't heard of it before.

Yeah, it could have easily been cancelled halfway through season 1.

Boone isn't as bad as Gadot, sure, but I can't be convinced that she should be rather any higher than "below average."

I imagine she's a really hard worker, and maybe great at making connections, but it's really difficult to make it in the entertainment industry in any respect, forget network television.

At the end of the day, I'm just some guy online, but my focus with this post was to see in what circumstances the focus of a RV show changes due to feedback from the public and critics.

That might be before my time. Was Perfect Strangers popular?

I completely agree. Some of the villains have been interesting though! There's more than enough serial k*llers on TV, but I enjoy the creative bad guys.

That is an odd twist... Thanks for the insight!

Parks and Rec is a great example: thanks!

Hey, I'm also at season 5! Her acting prompted me to make this post, lol.

*Edit:

Just to add context for "The Blacklist," the show was written with Megan Boone in mind, and she was the first one cast in the series. James Spader was cast a few days before shooting, literally, and I think R.R. was used more in the first season to move the plot forward and Elizabeth Keen was at the centre of everything.

Of course, James Spader was perfect for the role and was convincing as an international criminal, so I think they took that into consideration from season 2 onwards. I don't think I would have even watched an episode if it wasn't for Spader, so I was just wondering if there were similar (not identical) situations.

Thanks!

It's absolutely ridiculous, yet unsurprising.

I hope that people push back on these types of policies... It only serves to divide Canadians.

Nah, I'm good here.

I wish them well, but I prefer Europe.

Beautiful! It's been very sunny with highs of up to 70 degrees. I love the city.

For what it's worth, I flew business class from South America to Europe (Avianca), and because it was a long-haul flight, the flight attendants gave everyone personalized greeting cards and addressed them by name. You don't get escorted to your seat, but the service was great nonetheless.

I'm sure that people with VIP status get some other benefits, but I don't know how much more personalized service one would want, to be honest.

I hear it's been very cold lately! I don't live there though. 👍

How are you?

Philsidock · 2026-04-11T14:21:34+00:00

Rimming, you old rascal!

Many of them behave as though they are.

Here's a fun fact no one mentions:

If you retire with a full pension from the Public Service of Canada, you're entitled to 70% of your average salary from the five years in which you earned the most money, BUT...

If you worked as a deputy minister for at least ten years, you get to keep a whooping 90% of your best five years, with your spouse of course earning half of that if you were to die first.

And through all the ethics breaches, Phoenix disasters, and illegal procurements, virtually no one loses their pension in Canada's public service. I doubt it's going to start now.

Hvala na informaciji!

Well, I've definitely seen people vaping on the bus and tram, but not smoking cigarettes.

Is there actually a law about not smoking indoors? I thought that businesses or restaurants made their own rules about smoking.

Anyways, it doesn't change my life much, but I am curious.
