Casts who hated the shows/movies they were in

While we all have those shows we love, it's possible the main cast doesn't feel the same way. It's actually a lot of work and sometimes their working conditions might not be the best ones.

There's cases of bad or not so great movies that were a miserable experience for everyone involved such as the Super Mario Bros. and Dead or Alive live action movie adaptations, but what about more popular and more well loved shows?

I remember being surprised when I learned that the ALF cast HATED working on the show. Apparently it was hell. They hated playing second fiddle to a puppet who got all of the best lines and sometimes would have to work 20 hours long days. Max Wright in particular, the guy who played Willie Tanner, even got into a drug habit after the show was done. And the girl who played the Tanner's daughter got bulimia when working on the show. It was a bit of a shock to me that find out that one of my favourite shows from my childhood had such a depressing behind the scenes.

What other notorious cases are there of shows and movies that the actors hated working on?
