The Most Universally Despised TV Characters of All Time

Ted Mosby – How I Met Your Mother

Spoilers ahead!It’s an understatement to say that fans of HIMYM were let down by the finale, but Ted Mosby was the greatest disappointment of all. It became increasingly difficult to root for the main character when he spent the entire duration of the show trying to find the “perfect” woman, even after they turned him down. By the time Ted revealed his perfect match, she was already dead. And then he ended up with Robin. Seriously? Seriously? Whoever greenlit the ending of this show should go to jail.
