The Worst Boss on TV

Who is the worst boss on TV?

Newsday has a terrific gallery of bad bosses to choose from.

Is it Seinfeld's roving and rather bizarre J. Peterman? Is it food hurler Gordon Ramsay? Antic-riddled manager Michael Scott?

I'm going with Tony Soprano.

The guys on Mad Men

Horrible handsome terrible pigs, every one of 'em! To think our mothers had to put up with that.

Sorry jofr, you have your actors mixed up with real people. Greg House is a character played by an actor. Lines written by a writer.

Although I would never work for him,Gordon Ramsey IS the real restaurant world. I doubt seriously if any lines are written for him. As far as kicking his ass, you'd better bring your lunch. Before becoming a chef he was a professional soccer player.

Chef Gordon Ramsay must die! I could not work for him for five minutes. The way he treats people should be a crime, the first rant or cheap shot directed at me, I'd kick his ass. He would have already been lynched in the real restaurant world. I feel no pity for the people on his show thogh. They are spineless,and it is all self inflicted.

Greg House on the other hand is at least consistantly, underhandedly jerky.It's as though he wants some one to dish it back.
