CNNMoney.com recently ranked TV's worst bosses and leading the pack? C Montgomery Burns.

One boss calls employees "donkeys." Another tried to block the sun in order to create a market for his company.

Sound too bad to be true?

They are. Because these bosses, such as "The Simpsons'" Montgomery Burns or President Charles Logan of the drama "24," exist only on TV.

Also on the list: Gordon Ramsey, head chef on Fox's "Hell's Kitchen"; Michael Scott, manager on NBC's "The Office"; Al Swearengen, the brothel owner on HBO's "Deadwood"; Dr. Bob Kelso, hospital chief of staff on NBC's "Scrubs"; Adrian Monk, the obsessive-compulsive detective on USA Network's "Monk"; and Cosmo Spacely, George Jetson's boss in the 1960s animated series "The Jetsons."
