Most people know what I mean by this. In Scooby Doo, they once introduced a new character that was Scooby’s young nephew. He was a puppy and was intended to be a chucklesome addition to the main cast. Instead, he was universally hated. When he finally met his end via 24 hours of brutal waterboarding by Fred and Daphne, there were street parties and mile-long conga trains of joy across the world.

It made me wonder about new band members drafted in with similar disastrous results? The one that springs to my mind is the reality show where INXS auditioned for a new singer because their previous one had died. I don’t recall his name but the winner had about one millionth of Hutchence’s talent and overall seemed very Scrappyesque.

Any more for any more?
