I have a new addition for the pile - Mr. Robot. Let's take Fight Club and mix it with Hackers. Even Fear The Walking Dead with the group of survivors who have gone full retard is better than this show.

Did anyone mention Son of the Beach yet? That Howard Stern Baywatch thing, where the entire show was just nothing but sex jokes. That was pretty great when I was in 7th grade. And I'm sure it was probably one of the most unfunny things ever made, in reality.

I know its been said already but gently caress Scandal. my girlfriend watches it and its like every drat episode they keep cranking up the insanity and escalating every situation and its sensory overload how many twists they introduce and then dump for the next plot point, its like gently caress give your audience some breathing room already.

eric posted:That 80s show was very bad That '70s Show worked because it was standard sitcom fare that just happened to be set in the 1970s without calling any attention to it. That '80s Show threw that all out the window and went full stupid by having no dialogue or original characters, just '80s references nonstop. *girl walks in dressed like Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan* "Rubik's Cube! Reagan is the president! What's a CD? The Falklands have just been invaded!" *guy dressed like Don Johnson from Miami Vice answers back* "Parachute pants! Q-Bert! Michael Jackson! This is your brain on drugs! Pretty in Pink! We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for the journey and waved goodbye and "slipped the surly bonds of earth" to touch the face of God!

And most of the twists are fixed by Olivia Pope loving the bad guy or the president. If that doesn't work, her pal the PTSD/Autistic/family-stalker guy kills them.

House. He was just so toxically awful, and his little minions would scrape for his favor and commit crimes for him rather than send out resumes like normal people would. Also he shot a body and put it in an MRI to test if that would break the MRI. Why not just try a small magnet, genius? Or google if bullets are made of magnetic metals?

I know I'm about the millionth wise guy to say this, but it is laughably unrealistic that a doctor would insist on vicodin when there are much stronger opiates that aren't loaded with apap.

My girlfriend watches this and I have to listen to it because I'm in the same room. The show uses the phrase "You are the President of the United States!" with some mention of the free world, the citizens of this country, all eyes are on you, etc, so much and so melodramatically that it makes my ears bleed. Also, I don't think a show led by a woman has ever been so regressive.

CaptainSarcastic posted:I would have to agree that Space Ghost Coast to Coast is one of the finest pieces of television ever created. I don't think I have ever watched any live-action Adult Swim shows - the whole idea sounds like a bad one. Oh god, I love SG:C2C.  Autumn Angel posted:I hate "Modern Family" a lot. It tries to be politically progressive in a number of ways but forgets how to be interesting at all. Every character is completely unlikable and 1-dimensional. Overall, I like it, but man, I can't stand any scene that heavily involves Mitchell. I think it's more of a problem with the actor, because he gives his lines always too perfectly, and not naturally at all. Then again, maybe they're writing them that way. He just really comes across as 'hey, I'm a character in a show that you're watching, and nothing more!' a lot. Phil's the best.

I don't know -- they were pretty spectacular She was utterly mesmerizing to the point that I would actually watch the show just to ogle her (a rarity in the pre-Two Broke Girls TV landscape).

Professor Shark posted:I couldn't even finish the first season of AHS, I read the synopsis on Wikipedia and it sounded like I made the right choice Interesting. I found season 1 of AHS to be literally the best season of any show I've ever watched. I've watched a lot of tv, I was a latchkey kid. The way they drop twists and mythos reveals and the wryness of all the characters was brilliant. Season 2 was an utterly unwatchable mess. 3 had some great parts but, like that one poster mentioned, they just swapped out the main story arc in seemingly every other episode. Season 4 started great and then became not good at all once they got rid of the clown

Gaunab posted:AHS is like Walking Dead where it gets lots of praise despite obviously being bad. Meh, the shot selection is amazing and characters are usually interesting, but man the writers refuse to just pick a central conflict and stick with it, so it often ends up disjointed and runaway train-esque. AHS that is. Like season 4, I thought they had all the pieces in place for a three way conflict: The clown hunts citizens, who mistakenly blame the freaks, who try to hunt down the clown to stop the towns rage. But nope, let's kill off the best character and introduce like 5 different sinister characters because who the hell likes a strong narrative, anyway Drunk Nerds fucked around with this message at 05:31 on Jul 19, 2016 |

The Walking Dead. Zombies are a boring as hell premise to begin with, and the show attempts to do nothing interesting with it. I have an ex who I watched the first two seasons with and it's the most boring poo poo I have ever seen. The characters are boring as gently caress and the show recycles the same 'hey lets go here we'll be safe oh no we're not safe' thing over and over. Not to mention the awful fan base and merchandising everywhere.

The worst show, (probably not even mentioned yet since the forums got pussified) is Barney & Friends. Its a loving show for babies, and the main star is this big moron in a dinosaur costume. Yes, 2.5 decades after Jurassic Park the 'dinosaur' on this show is just some douche with a big goofy purple suit that talks to you like your a retard. The show ran for like a million years, and now they're even making aa new one which is sure to be the gayest thing ever.

The quality of a children's show is based 100% on how much stuff the bored writing staff throw in for the adults that are forced to watch it. This is why programs that are specially formulated by child development experts for the benefit of children are unbearably awful for adults to sit through.
