This is a very difficult question . I loved just about every show during my childhood. If I had to pick one, I'd have to say The Lawrence Welk Show 8)

Dare I say it?  I really don't like "I Love Lucy" and "The Andy Griffith Show."  Actually, there are probably several others, but those two are at the top of my list of least favorites.

Would you believe some Public Broadcasting Corporation stations run the Welk show? Well,I guess there is no accounting for the ancient tastes of some PBS viewers,because their $$$$$$ supports the rebroadcasts!!

Hey I watch Welk reruns whenever I visit my Mom.  A month or so ago they had the Lennon Sisters perfroming their classic "Siamese Cat Song".

Now THAT was good family entertainment in its time.  :D

And I suppose "McHale's Navy" is out, too, then?  Well, there's no accounting for taste.  If YOU can't recognize the great Conway comic genius, that's YOUR problem!

"Rango" was listed as one of "TV Guide's 50 Worst Shows".

Though I don't care for these types of lists and would only agree because I'm not a fan of Tim Conway.

Hey, McHales's Navy rocked.  8)

Oops... I forgot to add the show "Turn On" to my list too.

-"Rango" lasted for 8 episodes and was canned

-"Turn On" was cancelled after ONE episode

-"Tim Conway Comedy Hour" lasted FOUR episodes

-"Tim Conway Show" lasted TWO episodes

-"Ace Crawford" lasted FIVE episodes

...Seems that his "comic genius" was the joke he played on the financiers for these shows!  ;D ;)

Of late Conway has lent his comic genius to "Sponge Bob Squarepants," as "Barnacle Boy."  In post-production is Hermie and Friends, based on the 2003 TV-movie, "Hermie: A Common Caterpillar," in which Tim Conway plays Hermie (a caterpillar), and fellow-comic genius Don Knotts plays "Wormie," who is a...a, um, a..a..a what?
??? ;)

So many people don't like the Flying Nun.  I must be very weird, I think that's one of the best shows!

Even Sally Field herself claims to dislike the show.

Well, imagine wearing the winged headgear & being dangled with wires.  :P

There was one episode with Sally Field singing with a group of children. It reminded me of that Eddie Murphy & Michael Jackson video with them on the clouds with some choir boys running in circles. Strange, indeed.

IMO, Sally Field still looks cute. From watching the premier thing of "Legally Blonde II".
