What's the worst long-running TV show?

You forgot to speak in a cold, calculated, yet soft, manner. Caruso is the biggest problem with that show. Get rid of him, and all that’s wrong is the inane plots and stilted writing. So…, that show ranks high in non worth for me, I guess.

I got so sick of Alias. When it first started, I would try to catch new eps as they aired. By the middle of season 2, I had pretty much lost interest, but still watched whenever I happened to catch an episode. More often than not, I just didn’t care about watching it, and gradually stopped. A couple of my friends were big time fans of it, so I tried again with that last season. Gag, what a bunch of crap. What really bothered me was that I couldn’t put my finger on what I didn’t like about it. It’s just like that one restaurant everybody else loves but you find going there a chore.

Snoopy, ya forgot to have Horatio put his hands on his hips and stare off screen quizzically. I think that is how he stares.

No redeeming qualities?

Two words: Debbe Dunning

44

It’s actually pretty good if you turn the volume all the way down. Oh, and if you concentrate solely on the two female leads.

45

Wait…are you saying that there are people other than Courtney Thorne-Smith & the girl from Father of the Bride on ATJ?

I hadn’t noticed.

46

Does ST: Enterprise qualify?

47

Four seasons! So, yes.

48

Well, it had four full seasons, so it’s certainly ELIGIBLE.

But the last two were pretty good; they were just finding their voice and well into the process of reducing the suckiness (unlike Voyager, who started out good & got worse with each season). I wouldn’t count it myself, but YMMV.

49

I’ve never understood all the Seinfeld hate on this board. While it’s not on my top ten sitcoms, I do find it quite entertaining.

Mama’s Family is the clear winner.

50

Well, that might work if I were a lesbian. As it is, I can concentrate on the very unappealing Jim Belushi mugging, rolling his eyes, waggling his belly-flab, and… oolp… I gotta stop imagining this stuff, I’m getting nauseated…

51

Damn it–now I have to use the amnesia ray on myself AGAIN! Twice in one night!

52

For some shows, it not really a hate of the show, as much as it is a complete utter lack of like for it.

53

I think Mama’s Family loses a few points because it was syndicated. Somehow a syndicated show that’s doing nothign other than filling up a slot that would otherwise spawn yet one more infomercial. Given the choice of an episode of Mama’s Family and that jackass with the ponytail yelling about crunches, I’ll take Mama’s Family any day.

54

I can’t remember having seen more than two or three episodes of Mama’s Family, but from what I can remember, it doesn’t beat Full House on my list.

55

I would love to see Caruso leave … as long as he took Procter and Togo with him.

56

**NOTHING ** beats Full House.

Not even “Mama’s Family”

I have so much hatred for the PTB that kept creating the dreck that was ** Fulll House**. The cast sucked, the writing was bad, the characters wooden.

Who watched this shit? Who was the target audience? I’ve never met anyone that would admit to liking Full House, yet it was on for what, 8 years?

57

Yeah, I have to throw my vote behind Full House, followed by Family Matters. Mama’s Family was bad, but it doesn’t approach either of those two.

58

So many bad show to choose from…

I nominate Malcolm in the Middle; it is the worst among sitcoms (well…it’s an alleged sitcom) I have seen, anyway.

59

As long as there’s been mention of Australian shows, there’s , there’s Home and Away. 18 years and counting, and indescribably bad. You can see some clips for yourself.

60

I wasn’t going to post an answer because there are several shows that I just cannot stand watching… so I don’t have a worst show. But as for Seinfeld, that show is on that list of shows that I will not watch, while Mama’s Family never was.

I cannot see wanting to watch a show where the most entertaining thing about it is imagining the most painful way for the cast members to die.
