Nip/Tuck has to be the worst show I currently watch (during season anyway). Right behind that is 24.

I'm not watching anything right now, so I guess the answer is zero.

So true...you sit through 18 horrible episodes just to watch 4 truly incredible episodes...I guess thats what happens when you try to market a show to comic book geeks and teenage girls at the same time.

Ill vote for Studio 60 too. I know some people have said these are some of the best episodes yet, but theyve spent the past 2 episodes on people standing around andwaiting to hear what's happening to Jordan and Tom's brother...oh yeah, and flashbacks. Im only watching because I know theres only 1 (maybe 2?) episodes left...

I watch ALOT of TV shows during the primetime season (fall-spring) & only a few shows in the summer & here's my list:

CSI: Miami - I still don't understand why I still decide to watch this show season after season because it is beyond horrible. The acting is brutal, The stories are the samn damn thing every week (even more than the OR CSI) & most of them are boring as hell.

-There are other shows that arn't great that I watch besides all my favs but miami is the worst of the bunch.

Hell's Kitchen is not a bad show.

I am currently watching the worst show in television - Billable Hours. It's on Showcase or Bravo in Canada. I can honestly say the best thing about the show is the theme song. It's a great theme song, and there is a hot blonde in it, but other than that, the show is horrible.
I agree,
Hell's Kitchen isn't a horrible show at all. It's fun to watch Ramsay curse at incompetent people.
Being a fellow Canuck I completely agree that Billiable Hours is a horrible, god awful TV show. I don't like the Trailor Park Boys either. I think its pointless and if I wanted to see a bunch of Douch bags talk about fuck all I would just go to a real trailor park.
I love Corner Gas & think its currently & probally the best TV show that Canada has ever produced. I loved season 1 of Robson Arms but when the show finally! came back a year & 1/2 later it completely sucked the big one.

It's funny, My buddy and I (who've watched the show since it debuted) were watching the season finale a month or so ago, and they had the most intense, 4-5 minute "previously on" where they basically showed all of the best stuff from the past 6 seasons, and my buddy commented, "Wow, that show looks awesome."

I don't watch any of the shows anyone has listed, but I sure am looking forward to the guilty pleasure of Big Brother.

As much as I hate all these talent(less) shows, I can't help but watch America's Got Talent. I love a train wreck I guess.

Is 24 being considered bad because of 1 season (6)?

I use to watch HEX on BBC America and somehow managed to sit through the 1st season (10 episodes) and man, that show is really bad. Once they killed off the cute lead actress, the show went down the toilet. I couldn't stomach the 2nd and final season currently airing right now.

Not to me. It really isn't any worse than it was three years ago. The writing was just as bad then as it is now. People are just less forgiving/more aware now.

Out of the shows that are on right now, I'm still watching Painkiller Jane. The show is still terrible, with only very minor improvements since the pilot. It's really not even a fun kind of bad. Yet I still watch it. I also have the last 3 episodes of Hex sitting on the dvr. Knowing that there's only 5 or so episodes left in the series, I'd like to finish it, but I just don't know if I can stomach it.

The Dead Zone for me, at least I was until earlier today when I saw the series finale, I mean season opener. Christ, last season, the last two episodes really got their act together and made me want this season 6. So what do they do, season opener they have an
Spoiler:
unexpected death, a main character moves away, and they wrap up all the Armageddon mythology.


And that's just in 5 freakin minutes. And it looks like next week, they're rebooting the series and having a mystery of the week kind of thing for the rest of the season. Talk about a kick in the balls.
