The world can be roughly divided into two parts - TV lovers and TV bashers. Television, for most of us, is a good stress reliever. The following people, on the other hand, are the ones bringing a bad name to TV. As in the case of all good things, these party poopers make you want to smash your TV with your bare hands. I present you a list of people who bring out murderous tendencies in regular humans with their antics. Highly Overrated Actors on TV David Spade Just Shoot Me! before I do, as David Spade keeps attempting to suck the joy out of television! Saturday Night Live showed us the amusingly sarcastic side of David Spade. After Rules of Engagement, the audiences decided that they have had enough versions of his sharp-tongued, dwarfy and skirt-chasing characters. David Caruso Take a bow, Lieutenant Horatio Caine, as David Caruso enters this list with honors. He chooses to portray every complex emotion by wearing and removing his sunglasses. To that, he adds some crass one-liners delivered in a deep monotone. Crime solving on CSI: Miami hits a hilarious low. Sarah Jessica Parker Sex and the City may have created a sartorial revolution, but the equine-faced Sarah deserves a lot of flak for portraying the thirty plus Carrie as a giddy sixteen year old. Thank heavens for the Vivienne Westwood outfits and the Manolo Blahnik footwear that shifted the spotlight from Ms. Parker's juvenile attempts at acting. Jennifer Love Hewitt This Ghost Whisperer had her job all sorted out. A maximum of two expressions fleeted across Jennifer Love Hewitt's face throughout the time the show was aired. A collective sigh of relief was heard in some quarters when this show was abruptly pulled off the air. Miley Cyrus A chubby face that sings in a high school, Miley Cyrus fulfills the requirements for being a preteen idol. As far as her acting abilities are concerned, the less said, the better. Let us hope she manages to gain some of that when she loses her baby fat. Charlie Sheen Was Charlie Sheen actually acting on Two And A Half Men? If not for the laughter track, it seemed like a reality show, giving a glimpse into his personal world. The slow speech, the lost eyes looked so natural, it could be termed 'method acting', except for the fact that it was not. Ashton Kutcher The role of Michael Kelso on That 70's Show embodied the spirit of Ashton Kutcher. He followed it with Punk'd, which reinstated the fact that Ashton Kutcher equalled bad television. He seemed to have done a huge favor to television audiences by moving over to the big screen. We can now touch our remote without the fear of getting punk'd. Rejoice! David Hasselhoff So what's with this list and the name 'David', as they all seem to hatch a conspiracy to annihilate television? Before all the episodes of drunken rants happened, David Hasselhoff was a Baywatch star (not actor, but star) who didn't even bring any star value to the show. Can't really blame the guy, can you, when you had Pamela, Carmen and Yasmin grabbing all the eyeballs. Other Overrated Actors on TV The stellar names above deserved a special mention, for reasons of mass aversion. Here are a few more actors who have unknowingly unleashed an epidemic of misery on the viewers. Let us hope they spare us the agony of viewing them on television in 2012.

1. Teri Hatcher (Desperate Housewives)
2. Fran Drescher (The Nanny)
3. Minka Kelly (Charlie's Angels)
4. Calista Flockhart (Ally McBeal, Brothers and Sisters)
5. Spencer Pratt (The Hills)
6. Alec Baldwin (30 Rock)
7. Gillian Anderson (The X-Files)
8. Ron Eldard (Arresting Behavior)
9. All the Disney Horrors - Selena Gomez, Ashley Tisdale, Raven-Symoné, Demi Lovato and the likes.
10. The Cast of The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless

These actors have played a part in television being called the 'idiot box'. However, dislike is a very subjective term, and you are obviously free to dispute this list. Acting prowess aside, they have managed to inadvertently give us some comic relief, putting a smirk (not a smile!) on our faces. After all, isn't this a part of entertainment too?
