3.Taxi
4.Fraiser

List your ten
Dean Winchester 06-02-2005, 02:46 PM WHAT!?!?!? Mork and Taxi are my favorite sitcoms from the 70's. Robin Williams was just brilliant on M&M. Taxi I think ranks as one of the greatest ensemble shows and went off the air before it had time to go downhill.
These shows are worse than anything that ever aired on TGIF??? honestly???
Dean Winchester 06-02-2005, 02:51 PM 1. Full House
2. Perfect Strangers
3. Lizzie Maguire
4. Manimal
5. Meego
6. Extreme Makeover:Home Edition (belongs on PAX!!! wait, Pax is gone)
7. Family Matters (the first two seasons were okay, but when Urkel became front and center, it all went to hell)
8. 7th Heaven
9. Step By Step
10.Inside Schwartz
db108108 06-02-2005, 03:27 PM The Rerun show. Aired in the summer of 2002 on NBC and was absolutely unwatchable. I was really hyped because of the concept, but it was garbage in execution. That 80s Show was pretty terrible as well.
Mr. Television 06-02-2005, 03:32 PM I'll agree with Friends and Frasier. Everything else I like.
Stormtracker TF 06-02-2005, 03:38 PM The only shows I never liked on that list are Barney Miller and Friends. The rest are all good.
barwars 06-02-2005, 04:06 PM 10. Drake & Josh

8. Phil Of The Future
7. That's So Raven
6. Life On a Stick
5. Listen Up
4. The Jeff Foxxworthy Show
3. 7th Heaven
2. Romeo
1. Blue Collar TV
Dean Winchester 06-02-2005, 06:39 PM I think some people fail to see a blur between "this show is pure crap" and "this isn't my type of show". Considering Friends, Frasier and Taxi have all won "Best Comedy Series" Emmys makes it impossible to see how they are among the 10 worst shows of all time, when you consider some of the real crap that's been out. If you don't like these series, that is one thing, they aren't your thing. But can you tell the difference between "not my thing" and "this is crap!!".
For example, I don't like Everybody Loves Raymond, but... while it's personally one of my least favorite sitcoms, I'd never rank it on a "worst series" list because frankly, it is a funny and well-written series, it just doesn't appeal to me. Even if I can't stand it, I accept it is a better-written and executed series than something like Full House.
Well...if I, personally, don't like a show, it's because I think it's crap. I don't like "Friends"....because I think it's crappy. Same with "Frasier," and "Seinfeld" too.

I will agree that Friends is better then all of that reality crap put together. Their have also been short lived sitcoms that are a lot worst and Friends was the best of that type of program. The imitators of Friends were really bad.

well, even though you don't like Seinfeld or Frasier, you do think they were better-written and executed than something like Meego, right? That's the difference. They don't appeal to you, but you also recognize they aren't the equivilent of television Razzie-worthy.
db108108 06-02-2005, 07:12 PM Frasier never really appealed to me either- I found it too dry and stuffy, but it was one of the best series of the past decade, just not to my tastes.
On the other hand, I find Hope & Faith very funny and enjoyable, but I know that it's never going to win an emmy, much less get nominated for one. It's brainless fun.

Frasier was good, but doesn't quite have the widespread appeal of Cheers, Seinfeld and Friends.
It's not for everybody, but for those who do get it, it's brilliant.

I never liked Frasier but I was always a big Cheers fan. I guess its just a matter of taste.

Cheers has a much more widespread appeal. Frasier was sort of a dark series.... it complimented Cheers well, but definitely set itself apart.

I agree... especially about Taxi. Very good writing and acting. Danny DeVito's character (Louie) was great. Always makes the top 3 (and is usually #1) for meanest TV character.
I was a regular Taxi viewer when it was originally airing.

I agreed with aLL the shows on your list except Diffrent Strokes. I will admit though that seasons 1, 2, and 8 of Diffrent Strokes were unwatchable. Seasons 3-7 were very funny/watchable

I tried to get into Diff'rent Strokes, but it was just too goofy and childish for my tastes..

When I was a kid i watched DS for Arnold and Willis, now as an Adult I watch the show to see Mr. drummond, and whatever housekeeper

I agree with most of them. I did like Full House but don't know if I still like it as much. I did watch Caroline and Suddenly Susan occasionally but there was nothing special about them. The rest are just horrible. :lol:

well, it really depends on when you were a child. Most DS fans watched the show when they were children, if somebody who was in his or her 20's watched the show for the first time, they'd hate it.
