Whether it's a "Worst TV Shows ever" or a "Greatest TV Shows ever" list, they're all the same.
My Mother the Car...blah, blah, blah... The Jerry Springer Show...blah, blah, blah...

Then again, I can't quite fathom the idea that a show that had the staying power to remain on the air for seven years and produce over 200 episodes (Petticoat Junction) could be considered among the worst TV shows "ever".

Only because of CBS's total revamping of their 'urban' shows lineup in the late 60's did they cancel this and other successful 'urban' shows.

"Mama's Family" (1983-90). The Vickie Lawrence skit was the weak link on "The Carol Burnett Show." So, naturally, it got a weekly half-hour.

I can't believe that was a real show. I thought it was just something Kevin Smith made up for the Clerks Cartoon series.

I really wish these people who make these “Worst TV shows” list, would stop adding My Mother the Car to it. Is it a great show? No, no its not; but (and I know I’m going to get laughed at forever for this one) I would watch My Mother the Car over Gilligan’s Island any day.
I mean wouldn’t you want your dead mother to come back as a Car?
I think the show is more famous for Jerry Van Dyke turning down the role on Gillian’s Island than anything else. Personally I think Jerry is an underrated comedian and his role as Luther Van Dam on Coach was fricken’ excellent.
What???

Last I checked three's company was the greatest show ever made.
The roper's? I dont remember that, Wasnt their a spinoff called three's a crowd? I remember them moving into a new apartment. Three's company was past my bedtime, but I think three's a crowd was on even later.

I hate these lists, whether best or worst. Still, I can't image that "Petticoat Junction" would be anywhere on a list of the all time worst.
I mean, where are "Saved By the Bell", "Who's the Boss?", "Full House", "Down to Earth" or "The Munsters Today"? All of those are mind numbling bad, while "PJ" is at worst just bland, and in the beginning it was fairly amusing.

We occasionally sell DVDs at a large local flea market. You wouldn't believe how many people have inquired about the availability of "B.J. & the Bear".
Then again, I'd buy Cop Rock.
