In the tradition of best/worst things ever on GBS, what in your experience is the worst TV show you've come across? I'll get this started with the following:



Description in the pic says it all. This idea could only have been pitched by someone who smoked crack.

How I Met Your Mother
Two and a Half Men
The Big Bang Theory

No surprise these are all insanely popular TV shows. My in-laws have watched them over the years and I just sit there on the couch not understanding why they are laughing.

I'm surprised no one thus far has mentioned the Kardashians by name. Annoying through all the generations.

Cop Rock was from right before TV started slowly getting more and more serious. Eventually we ended up with the Second Golden Age which is good but sometimes I miss TV just being silly and weird. Sometimes it would try to "address serious issues" but really just continued being dumb. It kind of made you feel good you know?

There have been a lot of bad TV shows I hated, but I think Allen Gregory was the worst show ever made.

Allen Gregory even ended with a rape, which I think was intended as a rape joke, only there's no actual components of a working joke, so it's just a rape.

I liked How I Met your Mother the first time through, because Jason Segal is cool and it was just playing on Netflix in the background while I did other things.

Now when I catch it on tv, I have a hard time standing any of it.

I also hate Seinfeld.

Real Housewives of Orange County


She like spent $50k on her 4 year old daughter's birthday and just made it some weird super involved affair that was obviously her own wish fulfillment. Then later the party starts the daughter is scared as gently caress because there's like 100 strangers in the yard doing weird 'mad hatter tea party' poo poo and when she runs off the mom says 'idgaf' and starts posing for the photographer that was supposed to be for the daughter while the daughter is crying by herself sitting on a swing set


it was :psyduck: as gently caress

Does the tall one have autism or does the show just think scientists act like autistics?

I'm stuck with saying Two and Half Men just because my old coworkers used to play it on our office's TV everyday.
Every joke was essentially designed the same.
Charlie has sex. Allen doesn't. Kid says he's hungry or something.
