BWAHAHAHA!! That’s funny.
I’m sure things have changed, since television has since projectile vomited so many awful programs since, but I recall that at one time the lowest prime-time Nielson rating ever recorded was for a 1979 sit-com pilot called The Last Resort.
How bad was it? Nobody knows.
Aahhhhh…Sea Hunt Where Lloyd would say just about every week “By that time my lungs were aching for air!” 
I do have to concede the point that Small Wonder is probably the worst piece of donkey dung every foisted upon the American viewing public, but I can’t believe that nobody has mentioned Charles In Charge!!! God, that show was as bad as the come…I mean, was there anyone who didn’t want to bit the living piss out of Willie Aames?
Somebody mentioned Automan, so I just have to toot my own horn and say that my write-up on that crap-ified show is linked by the Internet Movie Database!!! 
BTW: I’d bet that the same people who still faithfully watch these shows would have also went out to see those “cliffhanger” serials that were popular 50-60 years ago. Sure, we know that good will always triumph over evil in these shows, none of the main characters will ever get killed until the end of the series (if even then), and all loose ends will be tied up within the end of the episode. You want something to laugh at? Check out Adam-12 on TV Land!
Wrong time for a simulpost. Here’s what I was referring to:
Q.U.A.R.K. Richard Benjamin and two hotties flying through space and collecting garbage?
Those Amazing Animals
Touched by an Angel I’d rather spoon sacharrine into my mouth by the dumptruck load.
The Greatest American Hero William Katt. Never heard of him? That’s a GOOD thing.
Aw, c’mon. TGAH wasn’t high on production values, but that was part of the point – it was a realistic counterpart to the nigh-invincible Superman stereotypes. Admittedly, the scripts got pretty cornball around the third season, but it was nowhere as bad as Small Wonder or Full House…
