7. Totally
I had to turn it off it was so abysmal. Chevy was bombing, and badly. Couldn't bear to watch any more.

22. "smacks hand on forehead" How could I have forgotten Dennis' trainwreck?
Let me do an edit of my poll. You're absolutely right on that one.

4. "Small Wonder"
About the young robot girl. Worst concept, worst writing, worst acting. Overall, the worst show ever.

18. Blasphemer!
That show was great! It must have taken a large, large amount of oral sex and cocaine to get a network executive to approve that show! The mere fact that a major network gave the thumbs up to that monstrosity makes it one of the best television shows ever, simply because it was the worst (content wise).

9. You forgot Magic Johnson's talk show
The only highlight of that show was when Howard Stern was on and his band played "Wipeout" (with farters farting during it)

11. Fear Factor
Closely tied with Survivor. The appeal of these alternately boooring and disgusting shows is beyond me.

Oh, and Howard Stern's show. How someone can be so simultaneouslyvulgar and boring at the same time is remarkable.

13. That's My Bush
What a boring crap show. Bad Bush impression, NO political comedy, just a dull sitcom about two people who vaguely look and sound like the Bushes.

19. I second "That's My Bush"
for the missed opportunity to make it a real political satire instead of a lame send-up of sitcoms.

38. Of these I pick Jenny Jones-ZERO redeeming value
Nothing but 13 year old tramps and whores. It is really terrible and I can't believe that there is any need for it. I also can't imagine working on a show like that day after day.

25. I Love Lucy
I'm sorry, but it's just awful.
I fail to see why it's still on TV today.

(On second thought, ANY TV show from the 50s or early 60s was awful).

27. My vote went to Rush during his Napoleon period
"Napoleon" is not a reference to the French emperor, but to the pig in George Orwell's Animal Farm, who by the end of the story becomes so corrupt and fat that his eyes are obscured by his copious flesh.



See what I mean? He's huge. Compare that with the slim neoconservative, Grodin-esque pill-popper of today:



Damn! He lost a whole person! Why, he's even below his Jeff Christie level:



If you have any idea what the fuck is going on in this picture, enlighten me. And since when was Reagan a circus barker? Is Rush about to throw the handicapped child down a flight of stairs?

Somewhere I got off topic, but this was far more fun!

32. What? His Napoleon period is over?
Nuts since 1988. Even more nuts today. Ladies and gentlemen, Rush Limbaugh.

39. Why do people HATE "Yes,Dear" so much?
I don't think it will go down in the annals of TV history as memorable but it's kay, it's just sort of there. It can be funny from time to time but every reviewer loves to bash it and it made this list.

I'm sorry I just don't see that it is THAT bad.

41. I thought Married By America was pretty grotesque
in fact, almost all those "reality" shows about whether people can cozen other people into having sex with them for their 15 minutes of TV fame are pretty sickening.
