What are some of the Worst tv shows ever?

It can include shows or specials

The Chamber - That "gameshow" on Fox, where they stick you in a chair that spins around and gets hot if you answer a question wrong

Whoops- an end of the world sitcom where only 6 people remain

That Bill Murray show that was on the comedy channel for about 2 weeks

the Chevy Chase show

The Glutton Bowl

Homeboys in Outerspace

there was some superhero show who's name escapes me but it was on Fox around 97 and he was a sax player by day and a superhero by night (i remember he had a red thing over his eye) if someone knows the name of the show please tell me

The Single Guy with that guy from weekend at bernies

Small Wonder that girl robot show

Evening Shade with Burt Reynolds

The PJs

Everything on CBS for the past ten years or so

These are just a few I can think of, please let me know of any more you can think of

How dare you mention Small Wonder. That was an awesome show (viewed as about an 8 year old, but awesome nonetheless)

Haha, it was Nightman. I loved how he flew around standing up with his arms straight ahead. It was definitely one of the worst shows I've ever seen. It was actually based on a comic book. While I didn't see the show enough to see what else he did besides fly, I think in the comic he was kinda like daredevil and just had heightened senses.

I think i remember seeing an episode of that "Small Wonder" show.


What was that show that was on in the late 80's, and it had the teenage girl that talked to her astronaut father with the flashing crystal communicator?

This was easily the worst show ever on television. It had no redeeming qualities, not even the scantily clad hot chicks you get from other stupid shows like Cleopatra 2525 or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World. By night he was a sax player. And by ... um ... night he was a superhero who could "sense" danger.

I too liked The Single Guy and even enjoyed Evening Shade.

Out of This World. She could stop time by putting her fingers together. It aired back-to-back with Small Wonder and My Secret Identity.

This thread is ahead of its time. I'm pretty sure if it were to come about in another 2 or 3 years, FOX would own it.

How could this thread have gone on so long without even one mention of "Pink Lady and Jeff?"

Wow, 23 responses and no one has yet to mention the worst show ever...Mama's Family. I flip passed reruns on TBS every now and then and the few nanoseconds it takes me to flip passed it is still too long.

There was also that Brady Bunch Variety Hour which I never saw, but from the looks of it, I'd say it definatley deserves a place on the worst "TV shows Ever" list

BTW, put me down as another one who liked The Single Guy. I also liked The PJ's even though I didn't see that many episodes.
