Best series lately was Breaking Bad.

Great series, like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

I love Walking Dead and the recent spin off. My wife hates it and usually walks into the room when some ghoul is chewing on someones face.

The best and most chilling dead characters were on last season's show of Game of Thrones. It was over the top.

I'm confused! Isn't this thread about the worst TV shows ever? But there's been some great TV mentioned here!  :grin:

I used to think Jeannie and Bewitched were great, but I remember it always drove me crazy that Tony and Darrin never took advantage of what they had! I mean, come on! What would you do if your wife/girlfriend had magic powers? Was all that "no magic!" some twisted seventies moral thing?   :wink:

How about a poll on Barbara Eden vs. Elizabeth Montgomery  :cool:

I saw the new installment of FARGO last night.  It reminded me that for a perfect storm of clumsy acting, situations beyond suspension of disbelief, mad-libbed dialog and the most horrible accents ever recorded -- BURN NOTICE.

I think this series is better than last season.  Yeah, I am Fargo fan.  Only three series that I am watching: The Good Wife, Manhattan, and Fargo.  Yeah, I'll DVR Gold Rush.

I watch SNL, HBO stuff, Daily and Nightly Shows, Colbert, Rachel Maddow, Velocity/Discovery car and bike stuff when they are on but they aren't serialized. 

Rotten shows are just about everything else.

Yep.  It's the railroad's water tank...

Something like this:



As an anecdote, I once read somewhere that the origin of the word 'Jerk' comes from that guy in the picture tipping the water in the locomotives.

Taxi was a show I didn't get. Supposed to be a sitcom but it wasn't funny. The intro music was alright though

 I found the Gong Show a real Hoot, but a mainly watched to see J.P. Morgan.  Of course it could be what I was smoking at the time.

Yeah, the 'lecture mode' narrative of BURN NOTICE was tedious.  It was especially hard to take when the narrative was factually wrong about what it was discussing.  The artificially forced directions of the plots were also painful to witness.

Let's face it, the only reason anyone watches Burn Notice is to watch Gabrielle Anwar.  If you turn down the volume, you can almost smell her through the screen.

Gomer Pyle, Gilligan's Island...mind numbingly stupid!  I'm sure others will come to mind soon as well. 

I did love Benny Hill...especially his linguistic abilities...he was very good with accents!  Monty Python was stupendous, Fawlty Towers also quite good!

I noticed that my neighbor's very young kids all talked in a strange way.

Imprinting the next generation.

They sounded like these characters. Multi-lingual sighs and squeaks.

The kids are all not right! Their bent! :shocked:

Kev M said as a 5 year old he loved watching Benny Hill. My guess is he enjoys peer to peer humor. I'd not say Benny lacked talent: but he was devoid of taste. IMO :)
Anything from Cleese and crew is light-years ahead in sophistication. Actually funny.
Try on Red Dwarf for thoughtful slapstick, Lexx for some Zev based hot scifi, or Prisoner if you need a sedative. 'BBC is ceasing broadcasts for this evening.'

Or we could wind up with a tape of the Banana Splits... the thought I know of that show makes me cringe.

the worst show ever is Hogan's Heroes BTW...  WTF is going on there, how is that on television now or then or ever???  What's next, a sircom in the hold of a slave ship or in front of a sledge dragging stones to foot of the pyramids??  Oh I know, how about a fun-loving madcap group of buddies pulling pranks and discovering the true meaning of friendship during the Bataan Death March?

well I sure wouldn't sit through the Bachelor or Real Houswives of Atlanta, but at least the costuming (or lack thereof) on DWTS makes it tolerable.

I was thinking of how to phrase my post when I read yours, which covered it nicely.  When I was a kid, there were a few shows that my parents watched, that I didn't hate too much.  One was Petticoat Junction, one was The Love Boat (etc.)  No Internet back then, just all the TV images I could store in my brain.  Well, Dad did have a few Playboys in his magazine cabinet.
