Okay - Worst TV show ever?

[elperromagico]

Let's have your nominations.

[Jessica]

1. Saved by the Bell ...

... with Full House in a close second. x(

[efhmc]

60. I liked SBBTB because of the liberal bent of the teacher.

[driver8]

87. SBTB: The College Years rocks!!

One reason to watch the show -- Tiffany AmberThiessen!!

[Left Is Write]

94. I admit tuning in for the Las Vegas wedding special.

As I recall, that was a two- or three-parter.

[stevebreeze]

2. My mother the car

I need say no. more I win!

[maveric]

5. As a 9 yr old kid I loved that show.

But I was a 9 yr old kid.

[montana_hazeleyes]

91. Didn't see this thread 'till now,

You beat me. That's the one that came immediately to mind!:crazy:

[stevebreeze]

115. not that beating you at THIS is something to be proud of.....

lol

[shawmut]

3. Cop Rock n/t

[qanda]

11. Hey!

That's what I was going to say.

[Ekirh]

16. DING DING DING!!!

Winner right here, I watched a few episodes of it when Trio decided to show some of its reruns. I must admit, the thought of a cop show mixed with a musical... did provide some guilty pleasure.. but that aside.. worse show I've ever watched.

[fishwax]

92. Cop rock was just ahead of its time

okay, not really, maybe it was just parallel to its time in some alternate universe.

But I liked it :D

[underpants]

4. Unhappily Everafter

I cheap rip off of another bad TV show "Married with Children" but it did feature Nikki Cox!!!

[Left Is Write]

47. Was that the one that had a rabbit in it?

[underpants]

116. Bobcat Goldwhait as the talking stufffed animal

Strange

[theboss]

51. That show was too weird to be on this list

Yes, it sucked and was pretty much a rip-off. But the talking bunny thing was at least unusual. And Nikki Cox was spectacular. The WB has had 50 worse shows.

[maveric]

6. Friends

Flame away!

[RandomKoolzip]

10. Seconded.

"Friends" could have been forged in the Devil's own sulphury flames for all of its high-gloss suckiness. Truly a painful watching experience.

[Bjornsdotter]

18. Ditto

I hated that show.....never could understand the appeal.

Cheers,
Kim

[jonnyblitz]

62. i ditto your ditto.

one of the times I watched it they were all excited about seeing Hootie and the Blowfish. bleh :puke: :puke:

[sendero]

93. Thirded..

.... it wasn't funny, it wasn't insightful, just what the fuck was it?

[ThorsHammer]

56. Fourthed; at the very least it's the most overrated show ever

[Fenris]

7. Full House and/or Step By Step

My dorm roomate loved these shows and laughed at the jokes, thus ensuring their place here.

[Magrittes Pipe]

8. "The Barney and Friends Sex up Morey Amsterdam's Corpse Variety Hour"

:scared:

[Fenris]

9. Was Rose Marie in that one?

[Magrittes Pipe]

15. Yes.

Nude.

[Fenris]

17. For me, it's semi-nude or nothing.

I have a clothing fetish.

[Magrittes Pipe]

20. That's what made it so bad.

She could have at least worn some cha-cha heels.

[RandomKoolzip]

21. No, you're confusing that with "Cindy Brady and Elmo Sodomize

Lambchop while Urkel Shoots Goofballs Variety Hour." Very easy to confuse those two, but Barney was on ABC and the other one was on CBS.

[BurtWorm]

24. Hey! That show was excellent!

:evilfrown:

[RUDUing2]

12. Cop Rock.

[flamingyouth]

37. Ding-ding-ding...

That was hilariously awful. Just obscene. :D

[lapfog_1]

13. Highway to Heaven

Love Boat

Jump Street

Fame

Streets of San Francisco

(there are soooo many, I could go on and on)

[philosophie_en_rose]

14. The Simple Life & Fear Factor

The only thing worse than Paris Hilton and people eating horse rectum would be Paris Hilton on Fear Factor.

[AndyP]

25. I second that!

[Darknyte7]

19. Brothers in Space

It was on UPN or WB for a season back in the mid 90's.
I loathe Blacksploitation...

[7th_Sephiroth]

81. Homeboys in outer space was the title, it was on UPN

and having scotty say "i'll beam you up were the sun dont shine" saves it from a fate worse than "cop rock"

[Darknyte7]

83. Wow!!!

It was worse then I'd remembered it! Perhaps I repressed that memory...

MAN do I abhor Blacksploitation!!

[coloradodem2005]

22. Any and all Reality TV shows.

n/t

[pbartch]

90. Does JERRY SPRINGER fit in that category??? I HATE THAT SHOW!!!!!!

[NYCGirl]

23. "Pink Lady and Jeff"

http://www.tvparty.com/pink.html

[driver8]

88. Pink Lady and Jeff -- definitely the worst!!

Who is the freakin' genius that came up with that concept??

[NYCGirl]

111. Fred Silverman

He had been considered a TV programming genius but "Pink Lady and Jeff" and "Supertrain" for NBC were enormous, expensive flops.

http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/S/htmlS/silvermanfr/silvermanfr.htm

[Lydia Leftcoast]

112. That was so bad that it was almost good!

I knew Pink Lady from my year in Japan, so I was curious about how they would do on American TV.

There's nothing like two young women reciting phonetically memorized gag lines that they don't understand.

[tjwash]

26. "The Mac Davis Show" or how about "Shields and Yarnell"

nt

[Left Is Write]

45. I remember liking the Mac Davis Show when I was a child.

I don't know why. I don't have any specific memory of any one episode.

[WateryHands]

118. Oh, man, at my house we watched every episode of Shields & Yarnell

Doesn't mean I think it was good. I'm just sayin'...

[bigwillq]

27. Full House

Walker, Texas Ranger
Wings
Touched By an Angel
Boy Meets World

[dean_dem]

35. Full House gets my vote.

Spawn of the devil it was...

[bigwillq]

46. It's amazing though how many people love that show

My twin sister, who is 26, still watches all the reruns on Nick at Nite.

[kmla]

119. So, then, BWQ, how old are you?

:evilgrin:

[barackmyworld]

89. WALKER LEVER!

It's the best new-ish thing on Conan...

[tishaLA]

28. The New Match Game

With only 5 "stars," two of whom were Judy Tenuda and Nell Carter.

The few times I watched the New Match Game, it was terrible! (audience: how terrible was it?). It was so terrible Charles Nelson Reilly tried to (blank) it.

[TheMightyFavog]

33. Kill.

End of Line.

[Moloch]

29. Star Trek

(All of them)

[tjwash]

32. You......have got......to be.................kidding

Although the parodies they did on "In living color" were hilarious though.

[donheld]

59. How dare you

:spank:

[tanyev]

30. Blue Collar TV

I've never even seen an episode, but I'm pretty sure it's baaaaad.

[Patiod]

73. It's such a shame - Blue Collar TV could have been good

there are occassional flashes of funny among the food-throwing and scatology.

Ron White's manage is to be commended for keeping him off of there. n

[BurtWorm]

31. Different Strokes.

:wtf:

Painfully unfunny, scripted like a 6th grade Social Studies project, and it really fucked up a pair of great kids. Not to mention Conrad Baine.

[Longgrain]

34. According to the book "Bad T.V."

It's "On the Air" is the worst show ever.

[ceile]

36. My Wife and Kids

Normally I like the Wayons, but this has to be the DUMBEST show ever made!!

[KitchenWitch]

38. "Temptation Island"

"Gee honey, we are getting married in a few months, but let's go on this reality show to tempt ourselves into not being monogamous with each other. Hmmm, sounds like we could start our marriage on a secure foundation if we did that!"

[barb162]

39. any so-called reality show

[lpbk2713]

40. The majority of the garbage found on Faux network.

They pander to the green teeth mouth-breathing crowd.

[theboss]

48. Fox has great original shows

"Arrested Development"
"24"
"The Simpsons"
"King of the Hill"
"The Bernie Mac Show"
"House"
"The OC"
"That 70s Show"

The reality shows on FOX are dreadful, but the original shows are great. I would say it's easily the best network in that category right now.

[sundog]

41. Weakest Link, Touched by an Angel, Friends, Knight Rider, MacGyver

I'll think of some more later :7

[renegade000]

72. hey macgyver is my hero

lol...the show was really hokey though.

[terrya]

42. "Hogan's Heroes"

Even when I was a kid, I thought it was strange...to put it mildly...to laugh at bumbling Nazis. There was something...disturbing about it. Not to mention the fact that it wasn't one damn bit funny to begin with.

The worst show ever...in the history of television. Period.

[theboss]

49. That Ann Jillian show where she plays a cocktail waitress

Awful, just awful.

[bigwillq]

52. I just to love that show

Can't think of the name at this moment though.

[terrya]

55. "It's a Living" - I even remember the theme music.

:-)

:hi:

[bigwillq]

57. That's the name!

You so smart, Terry!:hi:

[terrya]

58. No,honey...I just watched a LOT of television.

But thanks for the compliment, anyway. :-)

:hi:

T

[bigwillq]

63. So what do you think is the worst show?

I'm at work and sometimes don't have time to read every post so if you already posted it in this thread let me know and I'll look for it!

[terrya]

64. "Hogan's Heroes"

It's there...and my reasons for it.

"I Dream of Jeannie" is a VERY close second.

T

[bigwillq]

67. Thanks for your thoughts!

:hi:

[Lefty48197]

43. Frasier

Can't stand it. Two totally gay guys pretending that they're not. Ridiculous.

[porkrind]

109. I was just about to nominate "Frasier" also.

Two self-absorbed, selfish, narcissistic poser assholes. In other words, Republicans.

[SmileyBoy]

44. Full House Full House Full House Full House Full House Full House

Full House Full House Full House Full House Full House Full House!!!!!!

[faithfulcitizen]

114. hey, i loved frazier! But I'm w/you FULL HOUSE SUX :)

[-..__...]

50. Cop Rock, Small Wonder, Brady Bunch Hour

[jmm]

53. The 700 Club

;-)

[sakabatou]

54. Animated ones that are bad:

Duel Masters
Totally Spies
House of Mouse... actually almost all disney cartoons that aren't classic.
Kirby
Winx Club
Shaolin Showdown
Mucha Lucha
Witch Hunter Robin

others

[Left Is Write]

61. Worst TV Show EVER: "Small Wonder"

[JVS]

65. Cop Rock, Doogie Howser MD, Will and Grace, Three's company

[Cornjob]

66. Any show with Richard Lewis or Scott Baio!

Joanie & Chachie, Anything But Love, etc.

Those two stink out the joint!

[JVS]

68. The Captain and Tennille Variety Show

[ThorsHammer]

69. Cop-out answer: Any "reality" show

[sendero]

95. I agree here too...

... there have been a couple that were "ok" but by and large reality shows are just a huge joke on the audience.

The vast majority are so scripted and controlled there isn't an ounce of "reality" in them.

Take American Idol. I'm supposed to believe, here in the 3rd season, that they can still find people who absolutely cannot sing and to a one are dorks to the nth power - that will come on National TV and make a total ass of themselves, for free? Bullshit. I'm supposed to further believe that the competitors have been "screened"? Screened for what? Delusional dorks and good vocalists only? And the ratings show that people really tune in for the delusional dorks. What a sick country we live in.

Reality shows are a blight on the tv landscape.

[Thor_MN]

70. A kabillion way tie for every televangelist show ever.

followed by a tie for the kabillion first place for reality TV....

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

71. Any current comedy on network TV

....there's a start.

[Patiod]

74. Small Wonder (old) The Swan and Whose Yr Daddy (new)

Not all reality sux - I love Amazing Race.

[noonwitch]

117. Small Wonder was truly awful television

The acting was bad, and that little girl was so weird looking.

[Parche]

75. worst

american idol
steinfeld

[Blue Gardener]

76. Hee Haw

Need I say more?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

79. Greatest...show...EVER...

:grr:

NO, my friend...you NEEDN'T say more.



:evilgrin:

[Hardrada]

102. The Hee Haw Gospel Show

I only saw it once and was too astonished to say anything. I don't think it was on very long.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

77. Once and Again

...with Sela Ward.

Great for the "Steel Magnolias" and "Beaches" crowd, living hell for the rest of the world.

[okieinpain]

78. pats win the super bowl.

[greendog]

80. Hownutty and Colmes...

n/t

[Va Lefty]

82. Anybody remember "Hello Larry"

McClain Stevenson left MASH for that stinker!

[St. Jarvitude]

84. "Charmed"

I was at the dentist yesterday, and he had TNT on (against my will).

Insert "HAY GUYS I DUN NO WICH WAS WURS LOLOLOL AM I RITE??" joke here.

[mitchum]

85. Mama's Family...

as Sam Kinison said, "That show makes me feel ashamed for being white trash"

[Boswells_Johnson]

86. T&T was dreadful, despite the presence of thespian legend, Mr.T n/t

[TroubleMan]

96. Friends and Full House

I hated those shows.

[Zomby Woof]

97. The Family Guy

Fourth-rate Simpsons clone as if written and drawn by a 13 year old.

[sendero]

98. Except...

... Family Guy is actually funny.

[Zomby Woof]

100. I find it painfully unfunny

It's juvenile and grossly unoriginal. I won't waste any more adjectives on it.

The Simpsons in its prime was unbeatable satire. I will admit it has been worthless since 1998 or so... but even the worst Simpsons is 1000x funnier than the best Family Guy.

Wretched show. I would rather watch the also-painful-but-slightly-less-mediocre King of the Hill.

[sendero]

101. I'm guessing..

... most of the jokes go over your head, like they thankfully go over my 11-year-old son's :)

[Zomby Woof]

103. um, no

I get the jokes. They still suck.

[baldguy]

99. Thr Rush Limbaugh Show.

GOD! How could everyone forget that stinker!

[RetroLounge]

104. O'Reilly Factor

Scabrous Country

Hannity and Bottom Feeder

Dennis Miller

RL

[Zomby Woof]

105. Those are easy targets!

You didn't pick any sacred cows like I did. :D

[Hardrada]

107. The rigged quiz shows

21 and the others.

[Merrick]

106. Take every currently running network sit-com and pull one out of a hat

And sadly, these days, that does include the simpsons.

[solinvictus]

108. "The Simple Life"

Two spoiled rich sluts ridicule workaday people.

[Melynn]

110. The Gong Show

By far the worst ever. I'm surprise no one has mentioned it.

For second worst ever how about "My Mother the Car".

[NYCGirl]

113. The Gong Show was brilliant!

One of the funniest shows ever.

Ever see 'The Gong Show Movie"? Completely mind-blowing!

http://www.5minutesonline.com/1D/GONGSHOW.htm

Written by Chuck Barris and Robert "Putney Swope" Downey and directed and starring Chuck Barris, this is one of the most amazing expansions of a TV show ever made. Taking the basic premise of the overworked game show host and pushing it to the farthest extremes, this film pours on the Gong Show insanity, giving the viewer everything from the famous Popsicle twins "fellatio" segment to a nearly naked Kitten Natividad auditioning to be on the great Gong Show.

Mixing real footage with fictionalized angst via Mr. Barris's burnout, this is the real deal for any Gong Show aficionado. We follow Chuckie Baby as he deals with the overwhelming stresses of his life; auditioning new & awful acts for the Gong Show, trying to maintain a meaningful relationship with his live in girlfriend, fighting against the network brass who seem hell-bent of stopping the show, and staying away from the bottom feeding fans who want to be stars!

[DelawareValleyDem]

120. Friends
