Truly Awful Television

TELEVISION Television Miscellany
1

I’m sitting here in a bad situation. The remote is over there, I’m over here. This has happened to us all at some point or another, but almost never has it been as bad as right now. I’m watching “Commited”. And it sucks. Bad. This dreck has inspired me to ask, what are the worst things ever to be shown on T.V.?

This is up there, so I’ll start it off with:

Commited
Whoopy, (or whatever her show was called, that was horrid)
Coupling (U.S. version)
Two Guys and a Girl was pretty bad. I remember laughing at a few of the episodes before they excised the pizza place, but then, I was like 13

there are more, somewhere.

I was watching another episode of House (M.D.) tonight, and I came to the conclusion that it is the worst thing I have ever seen on a television. Ever. I’m not exaggerating.

3

I’ve caught two episodes of Committed after getting out of my night class, and yes it is a terrible show. It’s junk.

4

Super Milk Chan on Cartoon Network is bad enough to make you want to hurt yourself.

5

The Mullets is the worst sitcom I’ve ever tried to watch. It’s also the only UPN sitcom I’ve ever attempted. Are they all like this?

Yes, Dear is also one of the worst shows I’ve ever seen.

The king of shit TV remains MAD TV.

I saw an ad for Law and Order: SVU, with Matthew Modine on it, and he gave one of the most overdramatic line readings I think I’ve ever seen. I like Law and Order, but I haven’t watched SVU that often, and because of Mr. Modine, I don’t think I will be soon.

E.R. has compiled a large amount of shit since its heyday

The O’Reilly Factor is…well…on FOX News

7

anything on UPN,
all those crap reality tv shows,
how most of the shit on tv gets a green llght is beyond me…
outside of scrubs and arrested development, try to think of a funny sitcom?

8

Modine was really good and creepy on that SVU. Very Ted Bundy.

9

Okay, well in that case it was just a crappy preview, so there’s that.

It’s on the edge. Better be safe, just in case some poor soul out there get’s a hankerin’ for “The Simple Life”.

The Emeril sitcom was one of the worst things I ever saw on TV. BAM! It sucked.

12

Two Words: MAMA’S FAMILY

13

hell, i just watch the History Channel and Adult Swim…Maybe scrubs when I can catch it.

14

I can’t stand the UK Coupling so the US one must be doubly-bad.

15

Will and Grace. How the gay community has embraced this show when Jack is one of the worst stereotypes ever slapped on the screen is beyond me.

Oh yeah, and the whole painfully unfunny part doesn’t help either.

No. Homeboys in Space was Emmy-worthy. Never won though, for some reason.

17

KING OF QUEENS.

Beyond retarded and inexplicably successful.

18

Since 'ever’goes back a ways, I submit “Pink Lady and Jeff.”

19

I agree with the choices of Will & Grace and King Of Queens, but I would also add BECKER, the worst sitcom in history.

Local news. I don’t even think I want to really get into how bad my hatred is for the patronizing, idiotic nonsense my local stations spew out. And why do we need literally six hours of local news each day on each station? I can’t even escape by not watching, because the commercials (Yesterday’s: "Are pyschic powers real? A Connecticut psychic medium thinks so. See the proof tonight at eleven."Wink drive me into a frenzied rage. The anchors have no idea what they’re talking about, mis-use words (I’ve written letters to stations explaning what “ironic” means.), think they’re funny, and these idiots are the people we’re trying to learn something from each day? God, it gets me so angry.
