What is the cheesiest show on TV?

I don't watch a lot of TV, mostly sports and nature shows. But periodically I will click through the channels to see if I can find something interesting. In my search, I have found these two shows to be the absolute lowest form of TV entertainment, are there other contenders?

Howard Stern Show.

Jerry Springer Show.

My big fat fiance.

Who wants to marry a midget or whatever it was called.

The Swan.

Really every time Fox comes up with a new 'reality' show I feel Armageddon tiptoeing an inch closer.

Charmed - I've watched this a few times and felt very unclean afterwards. Where did my hour go?

It was called The Littlest Groom.

It lasted only two episodes, and had the most un-romantic ending I've ever seen for a clone of The Bachelor. He made sure to let all of us know he was putting the ring on her right ringfinger, not her left ringfinger, because it only symbolized "friendship" and a desire to "continue on this journey." She responded by giving him a big, romantic ... hug. (There were other contestants who were complaining, even before they were eliminated, that she-who-ended-up-winning was probably in it only for the airtime and prizes and had no romantic interest in the guy whatsoever.) I was hoping Fox would throw a big twist in at the end, like having the main character confess that he wasn't actually short and then stand up to his full 6-foot-3-inch height.
