Where's that Tom Arnold show from several years ago (when he was still hitched to Roseanne, ABC's money-maker then---hence his chance at a show on prime-time)? I remember it for that spotted-cow pattern on a couch on one of the sets, and not much else. If that show doesn't truly deserve to be on that list, my mother's a car!

 

[pulse8]

I don't agree with Baywatch and The Howard Stern Show.

Any show that can be #1 in the world or #1 on their channel can't be all bad.

 

[Ryan]

Dude, howard Stern sucks. I just cringe everytime I hear him :disgust:

 

[Nefrodite]

wheres oprah. WHERE!!

Whatever. You're probably just another one of these people who has no idea what the show's really about, but makes claims on what others say.

 

[Kadarin]

I pretty much agree with everything there, except that I liked Hogan's Heroes Cop Rock? Manimal? What were they (network execs) thinking?

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Hogan's Heros at 5? Whatever, that show rox0rz.

I KNOW NUTZING!

 

[ThunderGirl]

Hogan Heros is on reruns on nick I think

I have never heard of most of those shows. But dang there are sure a lot that are not on there. Like Roseanne, and a few others I can think of the ppl in them but not the name of the show.

Would like to know who decided which shows sucked. I think they suck and not in a good way.

 

[luvya]

I think everyone can agree with #1 This is a very rare occassion where all ATers agree on something Cheer!

 

[UCDznutz]

notice how most of them are spinoffs from successful shows.

spinoffs = bad tv. Except for Frasier. I think that was the most successful spinoff show. Its 3am so if i aint thinkin straight and i'm wrong oh well!

 

[Chaotic42]

I like Hogan's Heroes.

Teletubbies should be on there, and Tom Green should move up to #2 or 3.

I think Roseanne was an excellent show! The writing was awesome, and the interplay between the various actors was great. That show knew how to make you laugh while taking a serious look at the American family. It is considerably better than "Reba", which appears to make an attempt at the same goal.

I used to hate "All in the Family" (because of the opening song), until I watched a few episodes and realized that it, too, was brilliant. "I Love Lucy" is the same; brilliant.

 

[broon]

There used to be a show on UPN (I think) with Hulk Hogan as a PI with a bad boat. Thunderbolt or something like that.

 

[SgtZulu]

they forgot to list Screen Savers

 

[Lounatik]

(Bart and Lisa's voice from the Perfect Game Simpson's episode) NOT THE PRUITTS OF SOUTHAMPTON!

Jerry Sphincter?? Nah,that's just like the rest of the daytime crapola out there. But with a better hypemaster. He oughta be a politician........oops!







Peace

[brtspears2]

Barney at #50, thats just too kind.

 

[jjones]

How can they put Hogan's Heroes as #5? That show was great. I remember as a kid I used to watch that show every week; my whole family did. It doesn't even deserve to be in the top 500 worst TV shows. They must have something against Bob Crane.

 

[kranky]

I'd move Howard Stern and Tom Green way up on that list.

I agree with the comments that Hogan's Heroes doesn't belong and that spinoffs nearly always are crap. So how did they miss "Joanie Loves Chachi"?

 

[Zebo]

I read Jerry Sienfeld at first position when I saw Jerry Springer

Here's the transcript of every Howard Stern show:

"How you doin'. Are those real? Take your clothes off. Takes your clothes off. C'mon. Take your clothes off. Take your clothes off. What'cha got to hide? Come on! Take your clothes off. Take your clothes off......(repeat until show ends)."

Anyway, NO WAY on these:

5. Hogan's Heroes (CBS, 1965-71)
6. Celebrity Boxing (Fox, 2002-present)

Those shows were hillarious! I think Manimal, Supertrain, and especially the Tom Green show should have been WAY up on the list :disgust:

 

[wyvrn]

Howard Stern sucks! I am suprised Hogan's Heroes made the list since the show was pretty popular, but otherwise I agree with the list.

 

[Chipster]

The person who wrote that list should get 30 days in the cooler for putting Hogans Heros at #5.

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

Where in the hell in Mama's Family?

That show was friggin' terrible.

 

[deftron]

She be more like

Oprah
The New Mickey Mouse Club
Full House
The View
TRL
Teletubbies
