Edited on Wed Jul-28-04 04:52 PM by CO Liberal
I listed all the bad ones I could think of - I'm sure people will think of others.

22. No doubt...
Seinfeld---with exception to Michael Richards--all other cast members are pompous a**h*les. Especially Jerry! Did not find the show any shape or form funny.

44. I can't stand Seinfeld either but
Get a Life may have been worse. :shrug: Or a toss up.

28. Absolutely
Small Wonder is the worst show ever!!! Shockingly bad in all respects, with no redeeming value -- not even as a guilty pleasure. It is not even so bad, it's good. It is just so, so bad that it sucks.

33. Not a sit-com
Edited on Wed Jul-28-04 04:44 PM by Mojambo
Would certainly place on a list of garbage one hour dramas though.

It would fit in right after the A-Team and right before Magnum PI.

The A Team!

On edit: I know "Walker..." was not a sit com. But I watched it once and laughed my ass off at the lameness of everything about the show. Check my original post ;)

32. Blasphemy!
Come and knock on our door ...
We've been waiting for you ...
Where the kisses are hers and hers and his,
Three's company, too.
Come and dance on on our floor...
Take a step that is new ...
We've a lovable space that needs your face,
Three's company, too.
You'll see that life is a ball again, laughter is calling for you ...
Down at our rendez-vous,
Three's company, too!

9. Wow! I remember Oops!
It was like Gilligan's Island, but it took place after a nuclear detonation or something, and had these 8 or so people living on a farm. God, was it terrible.

Because I put Chris Elliot in the same class as Adam Sandler. His father (the "Ray" half of "Bob & Ray") was always much funnier.

21. Diff'rent Strokes
Hands down. Not only was it idiotic, the whole "wonderful rich philanthropist takes in two poor afro-american kids" premise was more effective than ipecac at producing copious amounts of vomit.

36. I liked Diff'rent Strokes
of course I was 12 at the time. I still think it has some camp value. It might have also been the originator of "A very special episode of" hook.

I just sat there with a Beavis and Butthead look on my face whenever it appeared. To this day, I still don't get the fascination with that sitcom.

30. Friends, Home Improvement and Full House
are the worst ever long running, popular sitcoms. There are plenty that sucked worse, but only ran for a season or less.

50. The Hathaways?
The sitcom about a husband and wife adopting a bunch of Chimps? I didn't think anyone remembered that obscure early 60's sitcom. Seemed like it might have influenced the Bush family into adopting George.

52. I Remember It
It was on in 1961-62, when I was in grade school.

I never forgot that show because a few years later, the actress who played the wife (Peggy Cass) hit a friend of mine who was delivering papers on his bike along Mt. Kemble Ave. (US 202) just south of MOrristown. He died later that afternoon.....

55. "It's about Time"
This was similar to Gilligans Island except two astronauts get trapped in time (in the prehistoric age). This was so bad I heard Imogene Coca, one of the shows stars hated the show.
