Exactly! What kind of cruel TV programmer puts the farm report in the middle of Saturday morning cartoons?
No, the Boobahs made you think you were already stoned when you watched it. I didn’t hate it but Lordy, it was one of the weirdest shows I’ve ever seen.
I really liked Cop Rock, Wizards and Warriors…heck, I even watched Babes without duress.
The shows I seem to hate often turn out to be popular, which just goes to show that I’m not anyone’s target demographic. Take BBC3 show Coming of Age, which lilterally made me sick to my stomach to watch yet managed to get renewed. Or the award-winning Mrs Brown’s Boys - I cannot stand it, yet it seems to go down well with a lot of people. Chacun a son gout and all that.
But, but… you only mentioned two reasons, the two daughters in the show, not four, and that doesn’t make any sense…
Oh. Wait a minute…
Um, um…
:smack:
Oh, okay, I get it. 
As if the multiple absurdities were not bad enough, the first season episodes started with an intro scene that no doubt many consider “cheesy” to begin with. The two stars are shown separately looking boldly to the future. Personally, I don’t think it was such a bad concept. I mean, I prefer clips of the actors taken from actual scenes in the shows, as opposed to anything that is so staged. It was the execution, though, that drove me crazy. As the camera sweeps around Barbara Bain her eyes glance downward in mid-scene for no apparent reason, completely ruining the concept. Mistakes will happen, of course, but that is what extra takes are for. Sheeeesh!
I know it’s probably just me, but any number of “reality” shows featuring housewives, mobster wives, stinking rich retired rock stars, or the appalling, ubiquitous Kardashians. All of them getting up to previously though-up and semi-scripted hijinks (no one on earth can possibly lead such busy silly lives!) and spending. spending. spending. gobs of money. I think it is so disgusting, it’s money porn. It’s like viewers are the poor folks supposed to be laughing and envying Our Betters as they fly from city to city, yammer away in their cavernous palaces, buy buy buy clothes and jewelry and things for their pets. I will single out “Ice Loves Coco” for special dim-wittery and their non-stop focus on their DOG. I have nothing against dogs and think theirs is a cutie, but of the shows I have watched, it might as well be called “Ice Loves Coco Loves Doggy.” Endless footage of the dog who might as well be their son! Endless debate about the dog’s junk! Should the dog go under the knife, and if so, can the vet implant some Neuticals? It is so silly, tiresome, and such a waste of time. I don’t watch this of my own accord, it’s forced viewing when visiting a dotty relative who thinks they are all just adorable, and “lookit that doggy, he thinks he’s a human, ha ha!”. Well, to each his own. I would rather watch the weather channel.
As did I. I had the misfortune to watch an episode a few years ago…OMG. Not only was it stupid, but it was glacially slow – long, boring shots of the poor chimps wandering around on the stage, with horrible dialog dubbed in.
With me, it’s the other end of the income spectrum - I can’t stand TV “reality” shows about hicks, rednecks, and po’ white trash.
Along with the infamous Turn On, this one doesn’t count. Minimum of five episodes for this list.
Son of the Beach - this horrid show was shown on FX back in the 90s produced by Howard Stern
Me too. And I loved Small Wonder when I was six, too. Doesn’t mean they weren’t godawful!
This is my pick as well. I simply can not think of another show worse than this.
I’ll link it…but you may regret clicking this.
Wizards and Warriors? Great show – Julia Duffy as the spoiled princess made up for a lot, and any show that adds the catchphrase, “I’ve had fun before. This isn’t it” to the lexicon can’t be all bad.
the ones I currently hate the most & give TV a black eye are -
Two Broke Girls
Two and a Half Men
idiot shows for an idiot box!
there should be a special category for shows that started out as one of the best and ended as one of the very very worst. That would be “Lost” (just my opinion)
If there’s enoough interest maybe I’ll start thread for shows people currently hate, but this one is for the top three worst shows you’ve ever seen.
sorry I didn’t read your OP closely enough Czarcasm. I apologize
When they explore a planet around another star no more than months after they leave Earth’s orbit?
If you remember, the Moon’s propulsion system was an explosion of a nuclear waste dump. And of course they go fast enough to make it between stars in a reasonable time, but slow enough to have long encounters with the planets that they find around them. And the Eagles are fast enough to accelerate to the Moon’s velocity. Though I must admit, the Eagles were cool.
The Enterprise had a warp engine. The Moon did not.
As Spider Robinson said in his review in Galaxy (from memory)
Explain the premise to someone who knows about science. Wait until they stop laughing. Bring a lunch.
Shows that didn’t get the special needs of ftl travel were dumb, but I’m a purist. But not anywhere near as dumb as Space 1999.
Doesn’t explain why they passed a planet slowly enough to visit. Or, and I just remembered this now, how they they managed to come close enough for Eagle travel to any planets at all.
I leave it as an exercise to the reader to compute the amount of energy required to accelerate the moon to relativistic velocities, not to mention how it would hold together after a reasonably rapid acceleration.
BTW I have nothing against the Andersons. I loved Supercar as a kid. But the acting was much better in that show.
A few:
-Dharma and Gregg: two mentally retarded people puzzled by life
-Amish Mafia: a bunch of rural hicks who rob Amish farmers
-The Life of Riley: moronic father barely remembers where he lives/works
-Lost in Space: weird family who dress in velvet clothing, live on an uninhabited planet with gay medical doctor; monsters extra
Most of you need to thank God fasting that you are too young to have seen The Smothers Brothers Show. No, it’s not the one where they sang “Waist Deep in the Big Muddy”. It’s the one before that, where Tommy Smothers comes back to earth after drowning. As an angel. That show, and Tori, are things Aaron Spelling is going to answer for if there is justice in the afterlife.
It’s About Time has already been mentioned, and it is all that has been said about it.
I’ll finish with Batman, which was (I think) going for “hip and ironic” and made it all the way to “stupid”. I was ten years old, and even I thought it sucked like sucking was going to be outlawed.

Lancelot Link is part of my childhood. 
I don’t remember that show at all. Also, the mom was pretty cute. Also, I think she’s dead. At least if I’m reading IMDB right.
