Wow, talk about your target-rich environments! You realize it’s easier to simply list the GOOD hit sitcoms, right? 90% of them were utter crap.

But if we gotta pick, I’ll just throw out another one no one has mentioned: **The Golden Girls**. My God, what a horrendous piece of crap.

Oops. **Jake** beat me to “The Golden Girls”. And I’ll bet that’s a sentence that could easily fill his nightmares.

Will and Grace? That show is so good. You just have to watch enough of it. I used to stay up till 11 to watch it and Just Shoot Me.

Add me to the people who love (or loved – it’s getting long in the teeth) **Malcolm in the Middle**.

Loathesome shows include, but are not limited to:

1. \*\*All in the Family \*\* (Ignorant loudmouthed bully duels with obnoxious loudmouthed freeloading son in law and whiny “adult” daughter)

2. \*\*The Honeymooners \*\* (I’ll admit, I’m not sure this was a hit except in reruns) (Ignorant loudmouthed bully repeatedly threatens wife with physical violence)

3. **Home Improvement** (Insensitive pig insults sidekick, annoys wife)

4. **That '70s Show** (Almost as boring as the actual '70s were)
