For me it is definately Full House.  I cant even watch it now, and am ashamed that i watched it then.

I absolutely hated "Full House"! That show just p*ssed me off because everyone was too darn cheerful and perfect!
End Quote

They weren't that perfect...I mean, D.J. had boy problems, Danny was overprotective and obsessive compulsive, Jesse had a hair fetish, the middle sister (blanked!) needed braces, the Olsen Twins epitomized evil...need I go on?

That said, that show totally rubbed me the wrong way.

I am surprised how many younger kids of today think the Olsens are the greatest thing since sliced bread.  I have 2 young nieces that never watched Full House(weren't born yet), but only know the Olsen Twins from their recent movies and videos, and they think they're great.  I have to leave the room whenever they have an Olsen Twins tape on, it is unbearable!  

And have you ever heard them try to sing?  WOW, talk about ear-piercing pain!

    Like I predicted 5 years ago about Ashley & Mary-Kate: "About 10 years from now, their videotapes will start to get 'interesting'." Well, it's 5 years now, and they're already starting to act like teen jailbaits. I shudder to think what will happen in another 5 years.
    Oh, why stop now? I will close by sharing another thing that went through my mind about them in '97: "I am against abortion, except in the cases of Ashley and Mary-Kate".

I used to think the exact same thing.  I don't meant to sound like a pedophile, but back around 1994-'98, when the Olsen Twins would to this kid videos, I would look at the covers of those videos and think, "hey not bad looking chicks", and then when I realized how young they were---"holy c**p!  They're only 11!!?".  But I knew that as they got older, they would become objects of lust and everyone would speculate if they would pose for Playboy or Hustler.  

I think they will do a porno spread, just to change their image and shock people.  Drew Barrymore and Britney Spears both did shocking things to shed their good girl image.  Drew flashed David Letterman when she was like 19 or something back in 1995.  And a couple of years ago, Britney did her MTV striptease.

I know what you mean!  My daughter wants a Mary Kate and Ashley doll (whichever one it is!) for Christmas and she always eyes their clothes (but I'm sorry, there is NO way I'd ever let her wear half of them!)..she has actually seen repeats of 'Full House' and still can't make the connection to them!

..Didn't care too much for Cheers either.  Sorry!  End Quote

Hey, you're not alone on that one.  I truly think Cheers is one of the most overrated TV shows in history!  To this day, I have only seen ONE full episode.  I just thought it was so unfunny and boring.  

There, I said it. ;D ;D ;D

Quoting:
..oops..I guess I got off the main topic here!

To answer the question, I'd say I was one of the few people in the world that disliked both Miami Vice and Moonlighting.  Didn't care too much for Cheers either.  Sorry!  I never could bring myself to watch ALF either..just looked too dumb for me.  :-/
End Quote

I didn't think ALF was dumb.My father has some video tapes from ALF from Channel 4 15 years ago,I believe.We just enjoyed ALF's humor.The father was a funny guy.I liked the part where he always got upset over silly things. ;D -howard-

I've always thought of Bob Saget as the most "UN-funniest" guy ever.

I can't believe he did "America's Funniest Videos" as long as he did.  :P  

End Quote

I didn't care much 1 way or other about Full House (I still could lust after that blonde brother, though!); I didn't like it but not cuz it's too "nice".  But, I really decided I don't like Saget when seeing that AFV.  I'm sure he's nice, but he stinks at comedy.  I don't like his demeanor w/the AFV show.  So between him, and the hokieness of the videos sent in (like after the 1st season?  stupid set-up videos), I stopped watching that altogether.

Moonlighting - hate that woman.
Cheers - an OK show and I watched a bit for sure, but way overrated like you say.  What's the big deal?  Maybe all the losers in the world just identify w/it.  Didn't like that pretend-smart bimbo in the 1st part, and Rebecca later on (liked initially) just got bimboyer and screechier.  (Sorry for the bad, bad English!)

We know what our favorite 80's shows were, so what are your Most Hated 80's Shows?

Taking the Top Spot on my List is:

The dreaded knightmare aka "Full House"

The Olson twins lost their cuteness/funnyness after Day 1!  From then on, I just couldn't stomach that show.  


So, what are your picks?

I agree with you totally on the olsen twins. couldnt stomach them on full house and definately cant stomach them now either. they just wont go away. they are on abc family all the time and i cant even stand their commercials.
     
How about "Head of the Class". This stupid ass show is on Nick at Nite and I dont know why. The show, the jokes, the actors, everything about it is stupid. That teacher should have stayed on WKRP in Cinncinati.


I also agree with Cheers being overrated. I never understood why this show was so popular, although when it was on in the 80's I was a teen and it was more of an adult humor show. Woody Harrelson was pretty funny but thats about it.

Uh, Howard Hesseman couldn't very well have stayed on WKRP.  The show was cancelled years before Head of the Class even went on the air.  Perhaps the show's stupidity was "contagious."

Not to pick on you, but I believe this thread is about "Most Hated" not "Most Overrated."  Cheers was a groundbreaking show in many ways, and remains a classic.  Even if it wasn't your cup of tea, I can't believe some of you people mention it in the same thread as truly lame sitcoms like "Full House" and "ALF."  

Anyway, like you said, the adult humor mostly went over your head.

Uh, I meant he should have stopped after WKRP, ya know, he should have quit while he was ahead and not done that show. Is that better? If not let me know how much more I can spell it out for you. I thought you would know what I meant, but I guess not. Uh, I know WKRP went off the air well before Head of the Class came on, who doesnt?


And your right it is "Most Hated" shows of the 80's and not overrated, so Cheers was one of my "Most Hated" shows. And if it is a most hated show then it should be mentioned with other stupid shows like Full House. They go good together as far as Im concerned. And I didnt say the adult humor went over my head, I just said it was adult humor and I didnt find it funny. Maybe I should have said Cheers was not funny or it was stupid humor, but it wasnt "over my head" as you seem to think! Hey, have a nice day!!

I was on rateitall.com, and their bottom three 80's series are:

48 - My Two Dads
End Quote

A lot of stinkers on this list, but Roseanne? Come now.  Even if you couldn't stand the woman, that show was also groundbreaking and highly regarded until its last season or two in the mid-90s when it just imploded because of her huge ego.  I'm certain that her show would be at the top of the list of favorite shows of the 80s, too.  Roseanne is just that polarizing a figure.

And Fawlty Towers?  John Cleese was and is a comic genius, and that show, although English, is also very highly regarded by those in the know here in America.
