Subject: Worst Show on TV, right now...

Written By: 80sRocked on 11/11/02 at 12:47 a.m.

On the "80's" board I asked a similar question, now I would like to know what everyone thinks is "The Worst Show(or shows) currently on TV".


By currently, I don't mean re-runs of older shows, I mean shows that are current and are still in production.


Jerry Springer comes to mind.  I actually used to like watching it, 5-7 years ago.  But now, it is just so fake and staged and the topics are all the same.  It used to be hal-way good when they would have actual guests and topics.

Caroline Rhea Show is another one.  I mentioned this in an earlier thread.  Correct me if I'm worng, but isn't a comedy talk show supposed to actually be funny?  

There are more, now what are your choices?

Pretty much anything that's on television right now, with the exception of the Simpsons.

"Wheel of Fortune."  I never really liked the show.  It may be better now than when contestants had to spend their winnings on things like ceramic Dalmatians, but I think the show sucks.  I just can't explain its popularity!  It's so dumb!  I love "Jeopardy!", though.  At least you can use your brain…

I couldn't agree with you more, Crazy Don!  Wheel Of Fortune wasn't too bad when Chuck Woolery was the host way back when, but since Pat Sajak and Vanna White have come into the picture I have not been able to sit and watch it!

What I could never understand is why the contestants would always use all their money by buying vowels so early into the puzzle, and especially when it's so obvious that that letter is there. ::)

My biggest problem with that show is how the home viewers don't get to see the puzzle long enough to actually study it, like the contestants do.  Just when you start to get an idea of the answer, the camera cuts aways from the puzzle.  I think they should have a view of the puzzle on the screen at all times, maybe via split-screen.

No offense to Pat Sajak, but I too am confused as to why it has such high ratings.

Too many to choose from.  ::)

I'll do it this way:

The only 2 shows on TV I can think of at this moment, which are quite excellent:

John Doe

The Simpsons

I say "Just Shoot Me" and "Will and Grace", which is probably why I watch CSI.

Shows I hate:

Friends
Will & Grace
Providence
Touched By an angel
American Dreams
ER
Third watch

Another show I hate is on ABC, but I don't know the name, it has a fat girl, the funny Guy from News Radio, and they work for some kind of Television company. Anyways, it is by far the worst new show.

A little off the actual question/topic, but since I'm seeing so many people mention "Will and Grace"--am I the only one who used to really enjoy it, but now thinks it's really getting dumb...?
I don't even know why, it just seems to have gotten "stale" or something.. :-/

You're thinking of "Less Than Perfect" starring Sara Rue. The promos for it are actually more appealing than the show.


::) ;D

Pretty much any "Real life" shows. ie Big Brother, Survivor, ect, ect, ect........http://www.smilies.org/basesmilies/boisdormant.gif
They had their moment, now move along.

Along the lines of what max_power mentioned..though I have never watched a full episode, I think "The Bachelor" would rank right up there.  

I can't even imagine wanting to go on TV to run a good risk of getting humiliated and dumped in front of a million people.  Who on earth would be so inclined (and/or desperate!) to do something like that ?

Worst show on TV right now...6 Feet Under

Great acting and all, but it kinda leaves a funny impression in your brain when the next scene comes and two guys are standing there going at it...you know? Kinda throws you for a loop.
