What's the worst TV show that you still keep watching?

For me, probably The Hard Times of R.J. Berger - it's really stupid, but for some reason it has an odd fascination.

Honorable mention to Desperate Housewives which, at it's best, was a campy fun show, but now has degenerated into an actual soap opera.

The Event

NBC could cancel it mid-episode tomorrow and I don't think I would really care. Not sure why I watch it..haha

Ditto with The Event (and V).

What pieces of shit - but I guess I gotta support networks when they take chances with sci-fi programing.

Mike & Mike in the Morning

I watch it out of routine, and the fact that the other morning talk shows suck even worse.

The show is laden with product placement and commercials (the "Subway Freshtake Hotline" makes me want to stab my eardrums out). Mike and Mike seem like good guys, but they're really not that funny and their interviews are pretty bland.

Yet I continue to watch.

Mr. Sunshine: Mainly because I like seeing Andrea Anders prance around in her low cut tops and really short skirts. This is easily the 2nd worst comedy on ABC's Wednesday lineup. Better with You takes that crown. It had potential, but I could care less if this gets cancelled.

Batman Brave and the Bold. Batman is just annoying with all those puns. The series does have the best Aquaman ever though.

Re: What's the worst TV show that you still keep watching?

I'm confident enough with myself to admit it... Wizards of Waverly Place. Don't ask me why I watch it, I don't know. I'll shout from the rooftops I watch iCarly and Victorious, since Dan Schneider is a comedic genius and those shows are incredibly, incredibly well written. Better than 90% of the crap on network TV that passes as non-kiddy comedy. Wizards though? I just truly don't know. The guy that plays the father is funny, and Harper is hot.

Re: What's the worst TV show that you still keep watching?

In the past it was The Ghost Whisperer, I really grew to hate the show.. Here is every the story line of every ep of GW: Booo! Scary Ghost! Look into his/her past, not a scary ghost.. "I just want to help" Tears... Happy blah blah. The end.. Hoooorible... I think I just kept watching due to some sort of digital stalker issue with JLH or something.

right now, it's The Event.. I keep thinking "this is the ep something really interesting happens!" and.. well you know.. it doesn't.. lol

Surprised nobody has mentioned Weeds. It hasn't been decent since season 3, and it just finds new ways to make itself horrible. Although with the last season, the final 3 or so episodes (when they got to Michigan) were adequate, while everything leading up to that was disposable crap

30 Rock, because it's one of a handful of shows I watch. Aside from Lost, I drop a show after two bad episodes in a row.

V and Jersey Shore. Both are horrible (can we please rename JS "The Ronny and Sammie fight and break up then get back together then break up then get back together Show"??

At least Jersey Shore is funny from time to time. So glad both are over for the season and I'm not sure I'll be back -- even if they are.

Glee has been on a steady downhill slide for some time.

Lights Out

Show was just awesome for the first 5-6 episodes and has taken a dramatic downward spiral. I had very high hopes for it.

I'm enjoying it. Not sure how it's any worse than the past few years.

It's funny, I almost never drop shows, instead opting to watch them until they limp to their cancellation, yet this year I've dropped Stargate: Universe, The Event, Nikita & the Office(scheduling conflict on Office). I'm also debating dropping Sanctuary which returns in a couple weeks.

Rules of Engagement. I can admit it isn't that good but I still watch every week. It's not a bad way to kill 30 minutes... it's just not a good way either.

Probably Warehouse 13. I liked the first season well enough. Then in season two they decided to make the characters all buffoons and play everything for laughs, but I still watched.
