There are certain shows that have characters with the most annoying voices. I have noise-sensitivity and I can't watch these shows:

The Nanny (Fran Drescher's character)
Everyone Loves Raymond (Ray Ramano's character)
The New Adventures of Old Christine (Wanda Sykes character)

Am I alone here?

The main character on The Closer. I could never watch the show because of her!

Also I can't watch NCIS: New Orleans because of those voices!

She doesn't bother me, for some strange reason. For sure, though, I rush and fumble around to change the channel when The Nanny comes on t.v.

There is a British actress who plays "Kitty" on Mr. Selfridge. The voice must be fake, but I still can't stand it.

You are so not alone! Those are the first three that come to mind for me, too. I know there are more but those top the list. Can I also add anyone who speaks with the "vocal fry" accent or whatever it is? And there are intermittent ones on shows like House Hunters where I have to mute it or I'll lose my mind.

OMG! For me, it's not House Hunters, but Love It or List It! If I have it on in the background, I'll find myself irritated...and then I realize it's the voices of those two hosts!
