[madeline_con]

[FarLeftRage]

2. Dusty's Trail....

Remember that one??

[Frank Cannon]

[Auggie]

13. What? You don't believe someone could be reincarnated as a car?

[QueenOfCalifornia]

34. That was MY answer.

Damn You!

I don't know what it was but it sucked.

Jerry VanDyke... right?????

[Auggie]

70. Here's a classic bit of trivia, GILLIGAN:

According to IMDB.com Jerry Van Dyke turned down the lead role on "Gilligan's Island" in order to star in this series.

[Dukkha]

8. an amusing story around Hogan's Heroes

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071650/

Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS
a 70's grindhouse exploitation style film about Ilsa, an evil Nazi warden at a death camp that conducts "medical experiments". Ilsa's goal is to prove that woman can withstand more pain and suffering than men and therefore should be allowed to fight on the front lines. It was secretly filmed on the Hogan's Heroes set in the middle of the night.

22. self-delete

:blush:

[mitchum]

9. Mama's Family

[MonkeyFunk]

12. ah, but you forget the

incredible ass that was Alan Keyser!

[Mad_Dem_X]

52. WHOA!

Dayyum...!

I liked Mama's Family. Vicki Lawrence was a hoot.

[Richardo]

51. This is my choice

:puke:

[triguy46]

63. self delete

[Va Lefty]

10. "Hello Larry"

Poor McLean Stevenson. I remember thinking "You left MASH for this?!"

[Orrex]

20. Whoa--I'd forgotten all about that. Wasn't it a Diff'rent Strokes spinoff?

And, of course, there's no overlooking After M*A*S*H* when listing bad sitcoms...

[Va Lefty]

27. I forgot about After MASH

That definitely makes the list. Hello Larry was doing poorly in the ratings (imagine that) so NBC moved it to a time slot right after Different Strokes and wrote in that Larry and Mr. Drummond were old friends thereby allowing crossover episodes in an effort to raise ratings of Hello Larry, this according to Wikipedia.

[MonkeyFunk]

11. Petticoat Junction

kicked ass!

[Scout]

15. Mama's Family

really, really, sucked sweaty balls

[mitchum]

16. "Mama's Family makes me ashamed to be white trash" Sam Kinison

[QueenOfCalifornia]

35. Oh my god

I laugh at that show... Ya wanna know why?

It was MY family sort of come to life.

I was raised by wolves.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

42. I LIKE Mama's Family

There, I said it.

"Ma-ma!"

"Thanks a lot....Mama!"

[opiate69]

17. Full House..

[terrya]

18. "Royal Payne"

A horrifically bad remake of "Fawlty Towers". With John Larroquette and Jo Beth Williams.

Words fail me trying to describe how hideous this show was.

[TheBaldyMan]

26. seconded

The producers changed it when they heard the manager would be rude to the guests!!

[lost-in-nj]

19. Hitler....

they are STAPLES of American culter.....


how dare you.....


:hi: :hi: :hi: :hi:

lost

[nadine_mn]

21. 2 guys a girl and a pizza parlor or whatever the fuck it was

2 and 1/2 men - sorry I just dont get it


apparently anything with 2 in the title

step by step

full house (they are responsible for the olsen twins)

[intheflow]

23. Three's Company would make my top 3 list.

Bad acting, bad sets, bad plotlines! WTF were we thinking in the '70's? :smoke:

Hogan's Hero deserves a spot on my list, and then I'd have to say Married With Children.

[Mugu]

61. I agree, Three's Company is the all time worst. n/t

[meegbear]

88. It was good when it first came out ...

after the Ropers, the Chrissy were gone, it SUKCED.

[carly denise pt deux]

24. 3's company

who's the boss
Laverne and shirley

[Initech]

25. Frasier, Everybody Loves Raymond

[WinkyDink]

78. "FRASIER"?! It was ONLY the most erudite show EVAH! "Why have a Merlot, when you

can call a CAB?!"

[madeline_con]

81. The Facts of Life

:eyes:

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

28. HBO's Dream On

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_On_%28TV_series%29

this is from before cable tv got the nerve up to just show softcore porn without trying to pretend it was anything else

[BlueIris]

40. How could you not like "Dream On"???

It was hillarious.

[Mad_Dem_X]

66. I agree

It was sleazy and unfunny.

[regnaD kciN]

29. "Scamps"...

Never heard of it? That's because it only existed as a pilot. Bob "Gilligan" Denver running a day-care center out of his home, and it was every bit as dreadful as it sounds, right down to the kiddie-sung theme song ("He's a champ...with the Scamps!") that made the "Brady Bunch theme" seem like the "Ode to Joy" by comparison. :puke:

Why do I mention a sitcom that no one's ever seen? Well, I had to sit through it not once but twice. The first time, NBC used it as filler on their local L.A. station after an NBA playoff game that ran short. It was excruciating. Then, almost half a year later, I was selected to be part of a test group to look at a "new NBC series." I couldn't believe it when the tape started playing and I realized I was watching the exact same show, and the exact same episode, that had nearly made me physically ill many months before. Needless to say, I did not give it a positive review.

BTW, I believe that future teen idol Joey Lawrence was one of the brats in that show.

[deucemagnet]

30. Small Wonder

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_Wonder_%28TV_series%29

[alphafemale]

32. Heh. Great minds think alike! nt

[Orrex]

54. What an awful, awful show

And how freaking creepy can you get?

Gives me shudders just thinking about it.


Thanks for reminding me, you fink!

[alphafemale]

31. Small Wonder

Punky Brewster

Alf

[krispos42]

36. You took them out of my mouth

er, keyboard. Although when I was young I think I had an unnatural affection for Alf for a while.

Toss in After M*A*S*H, and you're doing pretty well!

[Dr. Strange]

48. Yep, Small Wonder

That was the worst.

[gmoney]

58. a friend had her co-workers convinced she was the child actor from Small Wonder

I'm using the term "actor" very loosely...

[njdemocrat106]

33. Seinfeld can't be that bad...

I laughed my ass off at (almost) every episode of it.

Hogan's Heroes I'm ambivalent on. My dad enjoyed it, but I've never seen the big deal over it.

Other than that, I really can't say what the worst sitcom was, because taste is subjective.

[Kutjara]

38. Cavemen is shaping up to be a legendary stinker.

But I still think "Walter" was one of the worst ideas ever squirted into a TV. Walter "Radar" O'Reilly, company clerk of the 4077 MASH, returns to civilian life and finds employment as a big city cop. It's the kind of idea that may possibly make sense if the person who thought it up was blind drunk, but quickly reveals itself to be the most stupid thing ever once the booze wears off. Unfortunately, it looks like the booze never wore off for these guys.

Fortunately, it never made it past the pilot.

[BlueIris]

39. "King of Queens," "Family Guy" and "Three Sisters."

Hoooorrrrible. Oh, and I almost forgot: "Alf."

[annonymous]

41. Mr T and Tina

This show was stunningly bad. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, it did. It had it all--bad acting, lame plot and phony laugh track.

A few years ago, there was this really bad show on UPN that took place in the Lincoln White House. I watched this one once due to morbid curiousity because TV critics really savaged it. I don't remember the name of it, but it starred Chi McBride. I never heard so many drunk jokes in my life.

[intheflow]

68. The only show to spin off Welcome Back Kotter!

Egads, no wonder I have senior moments when I have all this useless trivia jammed in my head since the '70's!

[lizziegrace]

43. The Charmings

Alf and Silver Spoon

[Faygo Kid]

76. I liked The Charmings.

I agree with you on Alf and Silver Spoon, but I thought The Charmings was pretty funny and clever. I especially liked Lillian's cynicism, Paul Winfield as the mirror and the overly satirical bent of the show. I suppose this means you don't want to buy my Beta tapes of the show.

[lizziegrace]

77. Yeah

that's probably a safe assumption. ;)

:hi:

[MysticalChicken]

85. I liked The Charmings too

Then again, I was an eight-year-old girl during its brief run.

[meegbear]

89. I remember The Charmings ...

definitely proving, it's not who you know, but who you ....

[bigwillq]

44. Full House, Growing Pains, Family Matters

Frasier...so many....

[Tommy_Carcetti]

45. The War at Home, at least in recent memory

Never has there been more of a forced laugh track for such an unfunny show, except maybe for the Fox News "Daily Show" rip-off.

[pstokely]

49. Why is it that sitcoms never last long on Fox?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

56. Because most of them stink....

with the very notable exception of Arrested Development, which was brilliant.

[cobalt1999]

46. There isn't enough space to list them all.

They almost ALL suck except for a small handful (and even those sucked at times). I call it a tie between 2000 sitcoms for worst.

Is it any wonder I don't watch TV?

[LanternWaste]

47. No one mentioned 'Joni Loves Chachi?'

No one's mentioned 'Joni Loves Chachi?' The anti-Christ of good television. The apostate of entertainment. It's the most awful thing to have ever hit the airwaves...

[jmowreader]

90. But it's the one with the best name of all!

"Chaji" is Korean for "dick." Obviously an attempt to slide one past the Knights of Standards and Practices.

[pstokely]

50. Fundy sitcoms

I've seen some on TBN

[Tommy_Carcetti]

65. The Coral Ridge Hour with Dr. D. James Kennedy?

That's hi-larious!

[MysticalChicken]

83. Have you ever seen...

Faithville?

It's on pretty late at night/early in the morning. I've only seen two episodes.

They're being serious, but if you see an episode, pretend it's satire, and it becomes hilarious.

[Mad_Dem_X]

53. Too many to list

They're pretty much all inane, except for Seinfeld.

[edbermac]

55. Hey those chicks were hot on Petticoat Junction!

And June Lockhart was not too shabby either.

[triguy46]

62. Yea, after she knocked off Bea Benedaret. But for a 12 year old boy...

The thought of those three babes in the watertower!!!:woohoo:

[gmoney]

57. Martin (n/t)

[_testify_]

59. Small Wonder.

[malta blue]

60. Dinosaurs, Caveman,

way too many to go on.....

[Orsino]

64. Full House.

Ruined Bob Saget as a comedian. He's going to be exorcising that series with profanity for years.

[Throd]

67. "Enos"

It was a "Dukes of Hazzard" spin-off.

[WritersBlock]

69. Laverne & Shirley

Gawd, but I hated that show.

Oh yeah, and Green Acres.

I'm showing my age now!

[JSK]

72. Nothing more annoying

than people who call Seinfeld "Steinfeld."

My vote is for "Three's Company." I don't think I could watch an entire episode without puking or shooting myself.

[martymar64]

82. Even worst - The Ropers

I thought Norman Fell was a genius but that show really blew.
Archie Bunkers Place was just sad. Archie wasn't the same without Edith.

[hyphenate]

73. Perhaps

you mean Seinfeld?



I hate almost all sitcoms--there are very few I actually sit down and enjoy.

[lightningandsnow]

74. Most of them.

Really, I don't find most sitcoms all that funny.

[Faygo Kid]

75. "That '70s Show."

I turned 19 in 1970. I remember the '70s. The '70s were (mostly) a friend of mine. That crappy show was no '70s.

Stoooooooopid. Insipid. Inane. Made "Green Acres" look like Macbeth.

I watched it twice. Induced amazement that anyone anywhere could produce anything so stupid. I am sure many more would come to mind if I thought enough about it, but I'll stick with this choice for all-time worst.

[BlueIris]

87. Woah; really. First negative review of that series I've encountered.

I shall remember you comments, my friend.

[HughBeaumont]

79. Family Matters.

DIE URKEL DIE! DIE URKEL DIE!!

As shitty as it is, I can even watch half an episode of Full House.

Family Matters . . . NO. Not even two minutes. Urkel . .. who WROTE this?

And it was on for 9 seasons?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

84. Full House

[NoPasaran]

86. Carter Country

:puke:

[ironflange]

91. All in the Family

But only after Mike and Gloria moved out. Biggest shark jump ever.

[terrya]

92. Agreed.

And it got even worse, if possible, when Jean Stapleton left and it turned into "Archie's Place" or whatever that show was called.

[Jamastiene]

93. I don't know about Steinfeld, but I hated

Seinfeld. I never got why that show was so popular. It was so shallow and unfunny to me. :shrug:

[NoGOPZone]

94. Friends and Full House nt
