Weeds - I've invested too much time into this series for me to just quit now. I need to see how it ends. It can't possibly get any worse, can it?
Jersey Shore - It's so bad but I can't ignore it. I honestly cannot justify why I continue to watch this but I do. I keep hoping it'll just go away so I can no longer watch it.

The only one is really The Office. Everything else I pretty much love. I finally kind of gave up on The Simpsons. I might actually shed a tear or two.

Re: What's the worst TV show that you still keep watching?
I used to stick with shows forever, but lately I've dropped many shows with no regret. Shows like The Cape, V, The Event, No Ordinary Family, Sanctuary. These all were given more than a fair shot to hook me, but all were found to be lacking so I dropped them. If I had stuck with one of those listed, I would've named them instantly for this thread, rather than needing to think for a while before settling on Warehouse 13 as my answer.
BTW, I like Weeds. It's become an annual event for me. I don't get Showtime, so I just wait until I can get the DVDs and watch the entire season in a couple days. I really enjoy watching it like that. I do the same thing with Californication which is another train wreck I can't keep my eyes off of when I finally see it on DVD.

The Office. I'm sticking with it to see Carell's exit/replacement, but the way things have been going on the show I don't have high hopes.

Though, I'm curious to see how this show us going to last after the big fight they've been setting up all season is over.

I would say The Event but I have all the episodes since its return just sitting in my dvr, I'll most likely just delete them in bulk eventually.
Instead I'll say its gotta be Wipeout. It was a fun distraction to watch during the summer months but stretching it out through the whole year turns a one note show into a tired exercise. I stick with it cause its still funny watching people eat shit for a few minutes a week.

Desperate Housewifes...
Hands Down!
They keep repeating story lines, and they have gotten Lanette's character so damn manipulating, that I think Tom can kill her and never have a jury convict him.
Hate this show...and yet I cant look away...

Without a doubt....Desperate Housewives.
Its gotten terrible, I really think the two year extension hurt the show. Two of the main characters (Susan and Lynette) are so dis-likable its not even funny. And the addition of Vanessa Williams to the cast has done nothing for the show.
But I've got over half a decade invested in the thing so I need to see it end.
I'm actually praying that they fail at contract negotiations and the show gets put out of its misery this year.

Count me in for Desperate Housewives as well. It's sort of a tradition for my wife and me to watch after she gets home on Sunday evenings, but it'd be nice if they'd put it out of its misery. I liked the five-year reboot for one season, but then it started sucking again.
Instead we could probably catch up with our Friday recording of Fringe.

Probably Outsourced. It has some good episodes, but it's not as good as The Office at all.

The only one I can think of is Smallville but they redeem it a bit every few weeks and I like the characters. But that's pushing it, because I do enjoy it to some extent. I simply stop watching shows if I don't like them.

Re: What's the worst TV show that you still keep watching?
As mentioned by others - The Event and V.
The champion for me was Heroes. In retrospect, I can't fathom why I stuck with it all the way to the end despite only consistently liking the 1st season.
There must be something about Science Fiction shows that causes me to stick with them longer than any other type of show I start disliking. I think it's because most of them have great concepts, but terrible executions that keep me thinking that it could get better with only a few tweaks, despite the fact that they hardly ever do.

Glee and One Tree Hill. I like Glee more. The thing that irks me the most about OTH, is the overuse of awful actors for minor characters.

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?
my kids enjoyed the original a few years ago but they never got in the boat show, thankfully cause those kids get on my damn nerves. Again i've never sat down and watched ICarly or Sonny with a Chance by myself but they are shows I can stand and don't mind sitting through for a few hours a night just to hang out with my girls. They get old too quick, i mean my oldest is getting her license in a few months and I'm sure after that I'll be begging her to sit down and watch some crappy Nick show with me.
I will admit to watching Phineas and Ferb by myself though.

Weeds, despite the past season being the best since the second it still isn't the show I enjoyed watching at the beginning.
I would've answered this with The Event but I gave up on that after the break. No way that show is getting picked up for a second season.
