Some characters throw off the balance of our favorite TV shows, sometimes nearly ruining the series' legacy. These are just a few characters that made viewers want to kick in their television sets.

Dustin Diamond peaked in life when he portrayed Screech for NBC's Saturday morning opus Saved By The Bell. Designed to be the nerdy genius sidekick to Zack Morris, Screech pined over Lisa Turtle, created a famous dance move, and was a proud member of Bayside High. Screech was light comedy relief that worked.

In 1993, the cast graduated and made the jump to prime-time, pursuing greater education in Saved By The Bell: The College Years. With the move, most of the characters grew in some fashion. Screech, however, was a different story.

Formerly goofy in a cute way, Screech's intelligence in college dissipated to the point where he couldn't tell the difference between frozen and cooked turkeys. His voice grew more grating, his vocabulary more simplistic. He quickly went from being the comedy sidekick that allowed others to play straight man, to someone you wanted to see shoved out a window. Even Screech's own best friends verbally knocked him to his face.

Screech would live on through additional Saved by the Bell incarnations, but the damage had been permanently done. Screech was scorched Earth. Diamond's real-life issues only helped to reinforce Screech's bad rep. Despite twelve years playing the character, Diamond was the only cast member not asked to take part in a reunion sketch for Jimmy Fallon. At least the audience was saved from having to endure one last Screech.
