My nominees: The Tom Green Show- I could never understand what made him a star.
Con- I think it’s cancelled, but in addition to being unfunny the show was downright cruel, making people look like idiots for having compassion as the star robbed them of products and services with sob stories.
The MILLER BOYETT wing- Family Matters, Perfect Strangers, Full House, Meego, Two of a Kind and Step by Step. I’ve seen ads for adult undergarments funnier than all of them combined, and cumulatively they ran for about 799 years.
Growing Pains- the most paint by the numbers hit of the 80s.
I have a tape of several hours of the show…just in case I ingest something poisonous and the poison control center directs me to vomit everything out of my stomach.
If anyone else has this “emergency kit” I would just add some serious advice…if you feel something round and hairy coming up through your throat, swallow it back down! Because it’s your asshole coming up.
Look, I know everyone has ignored the real answer because it is blocked out in your minds, but the correct answer to the OP is Small Wonder. Worst now and worst ever.
Oh god! I acidently saw that the other night. (As they do put it right after the Simpsons as one puts the bear trap right near the berry tree). My lord. tlak about getting every note wrong. This is really the best bear trap they could come up with??
No, you just didn’t get it, man. It’s a metaphor for man’s every changing place in the universe, and begs questions like ‘what is intelligence really’ and ‘who the hell did they turn down when they cast that kid?’. (The kids I used to babysit in the 80s were mortally terrified of that show- I think it was something about seeing Daddy dismember his little girl.)
Generally the answer I’d give would be “almost all of them”, but I have slightly odd tastes.
If I had to name a specific show or three, “Married With Children” (which may or may not still be on), “Hee-Haw”, and “Sha-Na-Na” (both of which I’m sure aren’t on any more).
This should give you an idea of how much television I watch outside of news and PBS.
Are you guys serious? The answer is clearlySaturday Night Live. Sure it’s had its moments, but what other comedy show has been routinely unfunny for the past 20 YEARS?!?
[AlecGuinness-as-ObiWan-white-beard-stroking-pensive-look] Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time…[/AlecGuinness-as-ObiWan-white-beard-stroking-pensive-look].
I watched the show every Saturday afternoon as a kid- I was maybe 10 or 11. Even then I could see the jokes coming from 3 miles away. I wonder what they paid the guys who wrote that stuff. Or if anybody wrote it.
Among the TV shows I have watched, I nominate Reno 911. For me, it’s the least funny show that’s intended to be funny.
This one definitely needed to be mentioned in this thread. I only a caught a couple minutes of this show so perhaps I shouldn’t judge it yet, but at a glance it looked awful and did not intice me to watch further. The studio ‘audience’ certainly thought it was funny.
