"Mike, Saul, and Gus were all amazing additions to Breaking Bad, but I think Gus was the best. He was such a complex and interesting villain, and he was more than a match for Walt and

Taylor Townsend helped The OC imo (talking about s4).

100% She's the first character that came to mind.

Dead @ Melissa lol

Malia was great and one of the only enjoyable characters in the later seasons, stfu. She didn't replace Allison either, if anything that was Kira.

[xorogueox]

The recycling of the “did you mom me?” Bullshit between Kira and Scott, and Allison and Scott totally cemented it. And that’s that I really like Kira

[spellmanian]

I liked Kira too. Although they totally sidelined her after the first season she was in. I think season 3 or 4? They would forget she was even in the show.

I feel like 90% of the time there are way too many new characters being introduced in network tv shows. I think my favourite new character is Taylor from the The OC.

7. Helped: Ben and Chris, Parks and Recreation

weird to think that weren't always there

[yami_no_hoshi]

mte, the show is weird in the beginning without them (and that Mark guy is so boring)

[flyingpigs_live]

tbh Chris sucked. but that's because of Rob Lowe. Ben was cool though.

[crimps4]

This is 100% correct

[kawaiiairbender]

While I didn't mind Chris's character I wasn't happy with his stay. He took time away from Donna/Retta. Though tbd they'd have probably given that time andy/Jerry/ron if he wasn't there

Like the show was really hurting for white characters 😒

[kairoso]

Ya Donna was so underused!

[tucker]

I just did a quick binge of the first four seasons before it left Netflix on October first and I realized how criminally underused she was

I don’t think she even had one storyline of her own that whole time???

[frankthesheep]

and they relied heavily on retta's real life and twitter persona at the time. I can't help but feel like that impacted her tweeting - she does sooo much less these days and the fact that she moved to drama to avoid being typecast.
