Thankfully , I can’t recall the name of the worst I ever saw. It was on in the late 70’s; a primetime sitcom for adults. It involved an entire cast of people dressed in God-Awful DOG SUITS!! Yes, the sitcom was about the life of a group of dogs. {Was it called ‘DAWGS’? I’m not sure}
Day-Glo DOG SUITS!!! for grownups!! IN PRIMETIME!! It lasted 4 episodes. No longer than that, thank Prime!!
I think it was called “We’re Your Dog”, unless that was the title of the theme song. Man, you know a show is bad when just the opening credits give you a sour taste in your mouth. BTW: I only saw the pilot. Did they really make regular episodes of this, however few?
I assume from it’s omission so far, that “Married With Children” must be on everyone’s best-of list. Not mine. It was so bad it made “Three’s Company” look like PBS.
Scarred, I hate MWC too.
Ok, I don’t get why everyone hates Full House. I used to like that show. The fact that I was 10 years old when it same out certainly helps this, but it wasn’t the worst thing on. I admit that I’ve seen every episode, and I still watch them from time to time, just for laughs at the corny dialogue, and drippy themes. Um, I think I just answered my own question on why you all hate it.

Local wrestling shows. You thought the wrestling shows on cable are bad, these shows are even worse. All it is is home video of really cheesy wrestling matches done by fatasses with Halloween costumes on.
Captain N, The Gamemaster. Even at age 10, this show sucked. Basically, every show had a storyline of “Hey look, it’s that one guy from that Nintendo game, and he’s going to kill everyone”.
Previously mentioned bad-shows that I’m willing to admit I like(d):
Sea Quest - Way before my time, don’t ask me why but I used to watch re-runs all the time.
Mad-TV - I will concede that I’ve seen some very bad stuff on this show. But some of it is abso-friggin-lutely hilarious. One of the loudest laughs I’ve had recently was watching Mad-TV’s Pillsbury Dough-boy skit. Remember, even SNL in its prime came out with some humor of dubious quality. It can’t ALL be funny.
Gilligan’s Island - Awwwww, come on! How can anybody not like this show. I haven’t seen it in years, but it was a classic. How many different plot-lines could you come up with for a bunch of people stranded on an island? I know a lot of it is cheezy, but look at the time period.
Twin Peaks - David Lynch rulz. Enough said.
MMmmmmMmmmm, that’s Wilma from Buck Rogers right? When I was little I thought she was IT. I’d never miss a chance to watch her with the hottie Evil-empress chick as a bonus. Buck Rogers, Charlie’s Angels, and Wonder Woman were my porn when I was a wee lad.
A show that I never knew existed until this morning has just vaulted high onto my list. It is a late 60s show called “Skippy, the bush kangaroo” and it was on Animal Planet around 6am. Oh my GOD. The kangaroo didn’t even do anythign that looked like training. In fact, the plot didn’t have much of anything to do with the kangaroo. However, the characters seemed to know what the 'roo was thinking… she’d hop into the room and they’d say “Oh calm down Skippy!” (sh was just sitting there) “What? You want us to come with you?” (she is still just sitting there)… Oh dear god.

Oh! I just remembered the worst show ever made- My Mother The Car. The name says it all.
Remember- If you’re angry it takes 42 muscles to frown, and only a few muscles to smack the idiot that mad you angry in the first place.
Dawgs? I never heard of this one, thankfully. It sounds so awful. the producers must have thought it something akin to Cats, but obviously without music or talent. Syndication can be a scary thing.
OpalCat:
I saw the kangaroo episode once. I just remembered it being a show about a catatonic kangaroo that a bunch of stupid people thought had telepathic powers. I did not think it was the worst show ever. If I remember correctly, the cast of the show had a modicum of talent and were not butt ugly, it was just the writing that reaked to no end like the sulfur pits of Hell.
Personally I don’t think Married With Children is too bad. It is not good by any means, but I can actually watch an episode of it and laugh (rarely).
Riptide was an awful show. Didn’t the characters have some type of robot that looked like Crow from MST3K?
ARG220:
I can’t believe that you would admit to liking Full House. Just having the vacuous Olsen twins on it ruins any semblance of wholesome television. You know those worthless little bitch girls are the byproducts of Satan. They only try to hook you into their wicked lives then after that, you will soon be worshiping the Grand Darkness of Olsendom and trying to proselatize (sp?) there superiority over all other forms of deities.
HUGS!

Hey now… I refuse to take any blame for those twins or that show… Even Hell isn’t THAT bad!
I have to agree with Sonic “My Mother the Car” is the worst show ever to air. (Sonic we are showing our age) A close second was from the same time period is"My favorite Martian"

“Oh, she’s a beauty, this gry nuhs shock, I’ll just poke her with this stick and see if she has any babies with her…CHOMP”
“…send lawyers, guns, and money…”
Warren ZevonMAS*H Great snappy dialogue, but a preachy comedy that took itself WAAAAAY to seriously.
I don’t remember the name of this show (Teen Angel, I’m thinking), but I watched it once last year when I was really sick. It was this horrible show about this teenage kid who died and then came back to serve as his best friend’s guardian angel. It was so awful! (Of course, the fact that it came on after “Boy Meets World” should have told me something. . . )
Carter Country (mid 80’s?) was bad. All stereotypical characters with a lot of hidden racism to boot. Good times in the deep south.
Joanie loves Chachie anyone?
There was a sitcom that came on this summer on one of the networks about Pilgrims. I can’t say that I watched it, but the idea itself makes my brain hurt.
Veronica’s Closet is just plain bad.
I nominate “Beth and Barker”- It was a religiously themed puppet show featuring a girl and a dog that aired about 6 AM in the 80’s.
Walker, texas ranger - who watches this?
Baywatch - hooter vision at it’s best
Zena
Full House - Dumb
Saved by the bell.
90210 - Arn’t they ready for social security yet?
I Love Lucy - i hated this show.
McGruder and Loud - old cop show that lasted one season. Mid 80’s.
BAD cats - Michelle pfiffer in her probably only TV role as a Burglary Auto Detail ( hence, BAD cats) undercover cop. 1981?
Melrose place.
Veronica’s Closet - Who does Kirstie Ally have by the balls to keep this show on the air?
This is one of the many reasons I ditched cable…to reduce garbage…
I agree about MAS*H. There was a lot of snappy dialogue, but Alan Alda was a shameless Groucho Marx ripoff. I don’t like the way Hawkeye is always either preaching about how bad war is or sexually harassing a nurse.
The movie sucked too, although I like a lot of the actors in it. Young Tom Skerrit and the whole crew.
