Needs more Heroes. Although I don't disagree with any of those choices.

Chew 12-23-08 08:52 AM

I would argue Rosie ended up being more of a special than a show, it was only on once. How about putting The Moment of Truth in that spot instead?

Jackie Gleason had that show that he himself cancelled after a single episode (and apologized for in the timeslot that should have carried the second episode).

And that isn't considered a special.......

Geofferson 12-23-08 09:49 AM

Little Britain USA wasn't that bad...

I'd say that's a different argument: No second episode of Rosie was on NBC's schedule. IF it had done well in the ratings, it could've led to a series.

Travis McClain 12-23-08 12:03 PM

How about post-election SNL?

riley_dude 12-23-08 12:12 PM

I would have put Dancing with the Stars on there.

The Denise Richards show is worst than the Kardashian's one. They should add Real Chance of Love, The Hills, Best Week Ever (after all the panelist were thrown out the window), The Ikki Shot of Love, and the rest of the garbage that MTV, VH1 and E! put out. Oh, and Real Housewives of Atlanta, NY, OC, Kansa City, Pensacola, Seattle and the rest of the crap that Bravo puts real TV.

The Bus 12-23-08 12:43 PM

I haven't heard of the majority of these shows.

Brian Shannon 12-23-08 12:43 PM

Guess I must be a pretty good judge then, The Andromeda Strain is the only one that I saw and it was terrible.

My wife saw about 5 minutes of Kath and Kim and switched the channel

wmansir 12-23-08 02:00 PM

I've only seen a full episode of one show, the Knight Rider pilot.

I caught 5 minutes of the Kardashian show once while flipping around but only stayed that long because I noticed porn star Bree Olsen was their "babysitter" who kept hitting on the dad or some such nonsense.

Quake1028 12-23-08 04:36 PM

Kath and Kim is awesome.

Original Desmond 12-23-08 07:36 PM

kath and kim is terrible compared with the Aussie original. If you have never seen the Aussie show it may be watchable

Knight Rider i quite like

TheNightFlier 12-23-08 07:43 PM

Out of all of those I've only seen the Knight Rider and American Gladiator pilots.

So was The Andromeda Strain, since that was just a mini-series.

Pretty good list, I agree that Moment of Truth should be on there somewhere.

There are some other bad shows I only watched one episode of, but they were so bad I can't remember them now. Valentine?

NiCK Crush 12-23-08 10:42 PM

What a horrible list.

EDIT: haha, woops... I thought i was a Top Ten list... didnt see "Worst" in the title... I take it back, thats a pretty good list.

HistoryProf 12-24-08 02:43 AM

little britain usa? that was hilarious...just like the original LB. nonsense that it's on such a list with the reams of suck that hit the airwaves every week.

auntiewinnie 12-24-08 05:54 AM

I would add Football Night in America and Countdown to that list.

wm lopez, is that you?

I haven't watched any of the list.

JuryDuty 12-24-08 12:25 PM

I only saw Knight Rider. It was horrible, especially compared to the mini-movie last spring which wasn't that bad. I'm hoping the reboot makes it IMMENSELY better.

Ronnie Dobbs 12-24-08 05:16 PM

What happened to Knight Rider why did NBC keep fiddling with it?

Also, I'd add My Own Worst Enemy.

Bluelitespecial 12-24-08 11:02 PM

American Gladiators would be better if Hulk Hogan was not the host. Is it even coming back this season?

We also didnt need all the backstory/gimmicks. I just want to see normal people in competitive challenges vs. bad motherfuckers.
