The gang from Seinfeld. Starting when Elaine got her new 'do and it just goes downhill from there. Oh and Putty sucks too.

I still find him somewhat annoying, but nowhere near as hated as I used to.

Thats funny, i noticed the same exact thing. I used to like Elaine but as soon as she changed her hair she became extremely annoying. Everybody gets more annoying after Larry David left but Elaine stands out the most.

Couldn't agree more. She is the only issue I have with this show.

After spending a week on vacation with my sister's kids, I'm pretty sure it's this:
based primarily on his theme song: "I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map........"
Among humans, it may be this guy:
"Hands up, who likes me?"

And Putty (Puddy?) is my favorite guest character.

Hate to be Mr. Obvious here, but that was the idea. They were never supposed to be likable. See below. DodgingCars "gets" it.

In the later seasons, the good writing was taken out and was replaced by exagerated versions of the old characters.

Some more annoying characters, Monday night edition:
Al Michaels
Chris Vermin
Doug Heffernan sometimes
Richie from KoQ all the time
The kids from Medium.
I never watched ELR much, but whenever I tuned in, Doris Roberts bugged the heck out of me.

Counseler Troi's mother Luxana (or however you spell it) in ST:TNG.
Any episode she appeared in was automatically ruined. To this day I absolutely refuse to watch any ST episode that features her.

The image showed up in the preview but not the post. Anyway, the just mentioned:
I went looking for Larry David info on when exactly he left and found zilch. I am pretty sure he was around until about season 7 though, which would blow everyone's theories here.
*edit* nevermind, just read dodgingcars post above. I was spot on!
