A list of such terrible shows has to begin and end with Automan (think TRON crossed with Knight Rider crossed with Robocop, oh! and it's written as an action "comedy").

Oh, honourable mention goes to Misfits of Science. Ugh.


Thread over.

Any reality tv show. That stuff is pure dreck.
And as for Big Bang Theory, bad jokes about math and physics don't make it intelligent. Or funny.

Big Bang Theory:

Leonard: We need to widen our circle.
Sheldon: I have a very wide circle. I have 212 friends on myspace.
Leonard: Yes, and you�ve never met one of them.
Sheldon: That�s the beauty of it.

(Insert 5 minute laugh track here)

I can beat that.

Mr. Bean feels a stone in his shoe. He shakes his leg and stomps about.
(laugh track)
He removes his shoe and sets in on a car which then drives off.
(laugh track)
He hops after the vehicle.
(laugh track)
etc.

American, Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, or any other show that ends with "Idol". When they let anyone sing, regardless of their age or appearance give me a call. Until then, do me a favor. leave me alone.......

I don't know why that show is still airing. Search "Big Bang Theory no laugh track". There are some sites that will show some scenes with the original laugh track and then with the laugh track stripped. Its amazingly bad.


Agreed I seriously don't like this show. My brother sent me dvd's of it and he thinks it's hilarious, I think he's retarted for watching it for more than 5 minutes. It was so dry and boring I couldn't stand it.

When I think crap, I think of TGI Friday's sitcoms.

Let's see...

Full House
Family Matters
Hanging with Mr. Cooper
Step by Step
Boy Meets World


And maybe one more I was able to block out of my memory.

The Mentalist.


And as for BBT, I actually find the laugh track offensive - it seems to overpower the show.

The Visitor (1997)

Lasted only 13 episodes. I remember watching this Fox dud in my uni days.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Visitor_(TV_series)


Any of you guys into "Minute To Win It"?

The show was picked up for season 2. Guy Fieri should stick to cooking, though. The games on the show can be set up inexpensively for an English camp sports day.

The King of Queens is turd, but the worst by miles is Will and Grace - it's about as funny as finding out your girlfriend has got AIDS.

Love the original British The Office. Hate my country's remake. The original is intelligent. The remake makes Americans look stupid by comparison. It is really a show about high school dynamics set in an office with older people. I doesn't make me laugh. It makes me want to slap the characters and say "grow up." It makes me want to slap the producers and say "stop dumbing things down for Americans."

Can you clarify this? Here is summary of the first two eps of UK Office:
A worker pits another worker's stapler in a "jelly." He gets upset. A worker builds a little wall using files to block his coworker from view. A worker calls another worker many times on his cell just to say the word "kahk" The boss thinks he is funny and fiddles with his tie nonstop. A worker circulates a retouched porn photo with the boss's face photoshopped in. The guys in the warehouse watch a video of two workers' dogs having sex.

Now, tell me again about how intelligent the show is and how you wish to tell the characters in the US version to "grow up."
