Subject: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Borrowing from a thread in another forum...What's the worst tv show in the 90's?
I thought that Dinosaurs show was pretty bad...you know...the one that originated that "not the momma" catch phrase. ::)
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Hey, I loved Dinosaurs! It was an original idea and I thought it worked pretty good.
Anyway, I can't stand Roseanne. I don't know what it is, I just can't watch that show.
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Beverly Hills 90210 sucked.
That show started the annoying teen soap opera craze.
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Saved by the Bell was pretty bad, but it was a real guilty pleasure of mine, so I can't really knock it.
If I can put in talk shows, I'd have to go with Jerry Springer. I mean, I can watch it sometimes, but it just really gets on my nerves, plus it spawned all the other talk show hosts such as Maury, Jenny, Ricki etc.
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Anything by Aaron Spelling(90210, Melrose Place etc).
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Roseanne!!!!!!!!!
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Just about all of them except "Friends" and "Seinfeld", but the all time worst is "Dharma And Greg". "Will And Grace" sucks too, but at least that has the intriguing match-up of straight-gay characters. What's Dharma's excuse? ::)
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Anything MTV (Muck TV ::)) had to offer definitely rates as the worst in my book. :P

But "My So Called Life" was critically acclaimed. Maybe you're just a harsher critic than most, which is all good.
Roseanne definitely rubbed me the wrong way...as in with 50 grit sandpaper.

I remember "My So Called Life" airing on ABC though. At least originally. It was indeed a good series.
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
I really like the comedian Billy Conolly but during the 90s he briefly had a bad sitcom out in America , which I think was just called 'Billy' .It was just so not funny

I always thought that TV in the 90's pretty much sucked all the way around. But, if I had to pick a worst of the worst, my vote would go to X-Files. I only watched one episode and it was so throughly disgusting that I never watched it again.
(Note: The one episode I watched was about some inbred family in Pennsylvania where three sons were having sex with their mother.)
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Probably Geraldo...except for that one episode where the fight broke out and he got clocked in the nose with a chair

Especially "The Brothers Grunt"! Horrible!
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Brothers Grunt? Which one was that? ???
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Remember the short-lived series..Nearly Departed? I really like Eric Idle also but that was just dreadful!
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
For males you'd figure a show with superhot babes as lead characters would appeal and for females the soapish story lines should've held interest, but Models Inc may have had the worst chemistry i'd heard of.
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Howard Stern's show was about as low as it got. Although it's hard not to linger a bit when you hit it while tube surfing.
For instance, I feel bad about humanity when I see a middle-aged midget and a Las Vegas whoore arranging his defloration... and then the after-the-deed interview (damn that little fellow had a big smile...)
Another one I remember was the "small weiner" episode, where NYC residents got in line and waggled their small... you know. The contest, I guess it was a contest, was to see who was smallest. Stern's got one degenerate show.
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
"Barney and Friends" :P

I never could stomach Saved By the Bell. I just wanted to punch that Screech everytime I saw him!!! ;)

Hey i think i know you from another board....
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Come now...Models Inc...now THAT was bad
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Shows that sucked...
-saved by the bell
-tryhard cartoons like pokemon/dragonball z etc
-full house (or anything with the olsens in it)
-the new craze of reality series in the late 90s
-roseanne
-most american comedies :P
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Talk shows Talk shows Talk shows. Cannot stand them and Springer is the worst. If I want to see unfortunate, illiterate people scream at each other and bare their a**es I will just step out my door and look down the street at my horrible neighbors! I just don't understand WHAT was and is the attraction to these shows???
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Melrose Place
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
True...the Real World wasn't the Real World...no one in the house had a job...they just sat around and argued for 6 months. That ain't real
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
It's a three-way tie between The Real World, Beverly Hills 90210 & Melrose Place. :P :P :P
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Most of them. I realized that during the 90s was when I stopped watching t.v. like I used to. I think if the question was what's the BEST show of the 90s, the list would be smaller.

Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
-Seinfeld-IMO the most overrated unfunny show EVER. Jerry Seinfeld completely sucks as a comedian. Not funny, period.
-Springer, Ricki Lake, Maury, etc. oh and especially Richard Bey-such a disgusting show
-MTV-completely different (and crappy) network in the 90s than it was in its heyday back in the early/mid 80s
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Worst Tv Shows: Darhma and Greg, Sabrina The Teenage Witch(I thought this was the worst), Jerry Springer, MTV which started to stink in 99(MTV was ok in 98 before they fabricated Britney Spears's popularity just to make money and get good ratings), I used to watch Ricki Lke and Geraldo in 1994 and than I realized how stupid and pointless those shows were. Seinfeld was alright(You either loved it or you hated it.) The reality series stuff I hate and I have never watched a minute of it because something like eating worms is gross. TV has gone downhill since 96. Thats when "Fresh Prince of Bel Air went off, TGIF went of the air on ABC. The late 90's was just full of pointless shows. I think once the reality shows runs its course we will see better TV. The Talk show stuff didn't last long in the media spotlight. They are still a few on but not in the spotlight. The real trend now is cops and law shows, and also judge shows(Mills Lance, Joe Brown, and Judge Mathis can be humurous at times.)
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
I think once the reality trash sorta dies down and people become sane again, shows will get better... but until then... TV will suck :-/
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
I think the reality shows were of the 2000s for the most part...
As for my picks of the litter(meaning trash):
*Talk shows of course
*I actually liked saved by the bell when I was in the 6th grade. after that, I just sorta stopped.
*Most late 90s animated shows, and early 90s too. Nearly everything from Tom & Jerry Kids(91) to Sabrina the animated series(99).
*MTV did start going low except Beavis & Butthead, which got cancelled too soon
*Most Nicktoons, aside from Ren & Stimpy, Rocko, & Spongebob
*That british animated series on NBC... I didn't care too much for that. Oh, but the critics LOVED it.
*Who wants to be a millionaire? does that count? It was real late 1999, but it gained momentum in 2000...
That's all I could think of

Since someone brought it up...what happened to MTV anyway? The odds of you finding an actual music video when flipping thru channels is very slim. I know this has been for years this way but I always wondered why they went with the game show/ kiddie pop format??? Does anyone know? And, does anyone know if there are any music channels that just show music videos? Because VH1 is just as bad although I seem to be able to stomach VH1 better than MTV. If you do let me know so I can hound our local cable provider for it. ;D Man, I can remember like in 84 and 85 sitting around mesmerized by the videos.... :-/
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Oh let's see...
Pretty much any of the talk shows but Jerry Springer and Howard Stern have to be the worst.
I also never could see the point of Baywatch, V.I.P.'s and any other show with Pamela Anderson and her very ample cleavage. Is that really entertainment?? Sorry guys. Just my opinion of course. :)

I have a channel on my cable called muchmusic. Most of the stuff on there is not mainstream, though. I don't think I've ever seen a show on there, except maybe a countdown.

Oh I long for those good old days of MTV. What a waste it has become. Its barely a shade of its former self. We now have a whole generation of kids who have no idea of what MTV was actually all about. How I used to watch MTV practically all day,every day. Now I cant stand to watch more than 3 minutes at once.
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
full house has to be the worst. i hated the cheesey way that each show ended with the sentimental music and everyone learning a pointless life lesson.
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Rocket Power
I know It's pretty current but it started in 1999 so I guess it's half 90's half 00's

I used to watch Full Hose in the late 80's/early 90's. It was cool then but I'll pass on it now.

the drew carey show and that other show he does, both are trash.
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
Judge Judy is by far the worst show of the 90's. I hate that b_tch!
Subject: Re: The most hated tv show of the 90s
That show that came out not to long ago (2001 i think so it doesnt really fit here but still) called "Watching Ellie" or something like that. It was horrible and didnt even make it through the entire first season before it was taken off the air.
