Worst Tv Show
 
What is your pick for the Worst show on Television??

My vote is Dog the Bounty Hunter. That wife of his needs A Diet bad. If I were a perp and seen her coming towards me with that Giant Caboose and those 80XXX's flapping in the breeze I would run like hell too. And now you got repo man, I thought dogs wife was bad, his is worse.

rlwagoner 03-23-2009 11:59 AM

Wow, that's like defining the color blue. Just way too many to mention. I'd probably start with all of the "reality" shows.

Agreed. The only thing real about reality TV is that it's real-ly dreadful! :thumbsdn:

gladiator335 03-23-2009 12:23 PM

OC, Hills, Keeping with Kardashians...do I have to name more?
Or, Bus of Love or whatever it's called. OMG! As bad as it gets.

AnalogDigit 03-23-2009 12:23 PM

I remember these from the 70's, because there so bad:

Holmes and Yoyo. About a cop who has a robot partner.
Pink Lady and Jeff. It was a variety show about a comedian with two Japanese girls who don't speak a word of English. I think it lasted only two shows.
Today I pick all those reality shows except Cops which is my favorite. I also like Kitchen Nightmares.

Tony V 03-23-2009 12:30 PM

All reality shows are crap!

Sandy G 03-23-2009 01:34 PM

What was/is that dreadful show on MTV about a pimp trying to find a girlfriend/another ho ? Just the thing for MTV's pre-teen/teen audience to watch...

saltwater 03-23-2009 01:43 PM

LOST! How the hell is that fat guy still fat, also how did the find a vw bus and a jeep? It dont make sence, if gilligan can build a boat why cant they? come on, you dragged it on enough..

Hells kitchen too. Id choke that guy, then beat him w/ a fryin pan, I wouldnt take that abuse. "yes chef" He cant treat people like that, thats degrading.. I have worked for people that think their shi* dont stink, just cause they got money, I tell them to stick it where te sun dont shine. and live in my shoes, look at it from my angle, YOU DONT OWN ME. I provide a service that you pay me for, where does it say you own me? im ranting sorry...

But lost and hell kitchen are my picks..

Sam Cogley 03-23-2009 01:46 PM

99% of TV is crap, and one of the best shows in the history of the medium signed off last Friday, leaving us with the creeping desert of the TV wasteland...

merrylander 03-23-2009 01:55 PM

Newton Minnow said it was a vast wasteland, glad he is not around to see that it has become an open sewer on the four networks. Good thing there is Discovery and the History channels - and PBS when they are not raising money.

KentTeffeteller 03-23-2009 02:25 PM

Reality TV is easily the worst on TV. Headline News is getting as bad. The Caylee channel. That female host is the worst. Also, let's get rid of The 700 Club while we're at it.

shrinkboy 03-23-2009 02:26 PM

which show was it that signed off last friday, sam cogley?

calling the reality shows 'bad' is like shooting fish in a barrel-- its obvious, its easy, and of course, the producers would undoubtedly be the first to admit its bad.

but let's get into the realm of the truly bad, the awful, the stench filled, the so bad it makes your eyes water...., in other words, the stuff that had budget, and effort, and talent grotesquely misused, stuff that is some misguided as to spark terminal incredulity, and you know i'm talking about ....My Mother the Car-- Jerry van Duyk, Zsa Zsa Gabor

ducati_EL34 03-23-2009 02:30 PM

Besides the usual Reality shows, and sitcoms, I would say "Brothers and Sisters".

BigManAndy 03-23-2009 02:44 PM

Everything on TV besides:
South Park
Simpsons
Family Guy
King Of The Hill
American Dad
30 Rock
My Name Is Earl
Mythbusters
Dirty Jobs
Ghost Hunters
Paranormal State

thats about it for shows that are still in the business, didn't mention any shows that are strictly re-runs. wow, is it sad that most of the stuff i watch is cartoons, not kid cartoons, but still. ha ha

Snade 03-23-2009 02:59 PM

CNBC has the most obnoxious on-air talent I have ever seen (except for Erin Burnett)

Bloomgerg TV is a breath of fresh air.

The much-acclaimed Battlestar Galactica.

lowmileage 03-23-2009 03:33 PM

:dammit: There hasn't been a show worth watching since Northern Exposure went off the air. Worse show now:scratch2:, Orange County Choppers. :thumbsdn:What a disfunctional bunch.

JohnVF 03-23-2009 03:59 PM

American Idol.

Why? Because while most TV programs make me think that the judgment of corporate owned networks is questionable, this show makes me realize that most people have no desire to be entertained by anything challenging. The networks give the people crap, the people vote on what the best crap is, and then they go out and buy the crap that the voted on crap puts out on CD. And the host is an a-hole.

vegabass25 03-23-2009 04:04 PM

Any of those goddamn celebrity bitch shows and the hills.

Amen to that ! despite the fact that I have allsorts of firearms of every size & description, I am basically a calm & peaceable man. However, if I ever caught that walking spincter Keith Olbermann out, I would be SORELY tempted to shoot him w/many small caliber, low-power bullets, in an effort to try to inflict as much pain on him as he has inflicted on a LOT of us...Either that, or buy him for what he's actually worth, & then sell him for what he THINKS he's worth...You could solve the Banking Crisis in one fell swoop, & give ALL AIG employees a hefty bonus...Mbwahahahaha...

rickr15 03-23-2009 04:15 PM

Anything with Rosie Odonnell.

ricksegrs 03-23-2009 07:24 PM

Why do you think they call television a medium...Because it is rarely well done.

TV is a vast wasteland without BSG. However, you should give "Mad Men" a try - it's pretty good. I've also heard that "Breaking Bad" is good as well.

And I have a soft spot for "How I Met Your Mother" - Barney Stinson FTW.

-D

jayk 03-23-2009 07:43 PM

keith olbermann rocks!!! thank GOD for him and his truth telling!

'red eye' on fnc sucks big time. i try to see any humor there but it is non-existant, imo.

caddisgeek 03-23-2009 07:47 PM

As a scientist I find any of the new(ish) breed of forensic shows like CSI, NCIS, and worst of all Bones (so bad, I find myself compelled to watch it sometimes) particulalry offensive.

Amazing how someone can be a analytical chemist, molecular biologist, ballistics expert all at once (wow thats about 15 years of university right there) and still not know how unsafe it is to eat in a lab.

Oh, and we dont work in the dark like they do on CSI

And how come these "experts" have to constantly explain the most basic concepts to each other

And gunshot residue is a myth

And why do all the computer programs have flashing red lettering that says MATCH in big letters when ever it gives the results

I could go on but my head wil explode

I agree.American Idol,by far.
First,you have the head of a record Label that produces and sells the most bland,conservative pop music you can think of(ol' Simon),and his opinion is considered expert and informed.Second,the judges all reinforce the pop stereotypes by their choices:The scruffy faced "rock" singer,the perfect looking country singer,the belt it out diva,etc.
Third,you have the public thinking that they have a hand in crowning a champion,but thats only by default,since the choices are so bland and limited to begin with.
Geez,can you imagine if Idol had been around in the past?Forget about Willie Nelson,Frank Zappa,Beck,George Clinton.I bet they wouldnt even let Bob Dylan into the building to audition.

It was around...it was called 'star search' and resulted in such monumental talents as "Sinbad". Wow, cutting edge.

Don't give people what they want. Give them what they never dreamed possible-Willy Wonka.

Mr. Lin 03-23-2009 09:59 PM

Agree with a lot of what's been named, I'd add Little People, Big World. That shows just ticks me off, it's so melodramatic, and their lives are not exciting at all.

However, Mad Men is surprisingly good, but I've just been renting it through netflix, can't take the ever-increasing amounts of commercials on cable, it's completely out of control. Oh, I like Nip/Tuck too, now that I've actually given it a chance, because it looks bad in the commercials.

MSNBC in the evening...Laverne and Shirley.

centralflori 03-23-2009 10:23 PM

There is nothing sadder than seeing the lengths these people will go to just so they can be on tv. They even think that there is something compelling about how they act or maybe it's all a scripted act. Either way it is amazing that there is an audience for this. I'm referring to the reality shows like Survivor or Big Brother or the celebrity reality shows for the most part.:screwy::boring::stupid::nutz::puke2::bash:

I think those are the smilies that cover it.

HIMYM and Two and a Half Men are required watching on Monday nights. I've watched a bit of Mad Men but haven't really been able to get into it, but I love Burn Notice. House is another one I've started to get into.

The only reason that I like the Kardashians is because their daughter Kim is a little hottie. Heck, most of the women in that family are hot.....need I say more?

Oh, man, forgot about Little People, Big World. Just because you're smaller than the average person does not make your boring life worth watching.

Madmen is great...even though I work in advertising and sometimes its like watching my workday.

I don't want to watch OR listen to that bunch.

if they had Kathy Ireland, Charisma Carpenter, Cheryl Tiegs, Molly Henneberg and Phyllis George hosting, I'd have it on all the time (sound turned off).

vegabass25 03-25-2009 01:35 PM

Judge shows. I basically cannot stand them.
