i think laverne and shirley sucked from the 1st episode on

MY CHOICES ARE

FULL HOUSE
FAMILY MATTERS
THE DORIS DAY SHOW
WEBSTER
9 TO 5
PRIVATE BEMJAMIN
HAZEL

Green Acres and the Beverly Hillbillies.

The following fit this category:

Cheers
Three's Company
Married ... with Children
Beverly Hills, 90210
Friends
All in the Family
Boston Public
Roseanne

will and grace
spin city
suddenly susan
happy days
ellen
2 guys a girl and a pizza place
laverne and shirly
petticoat junction
dharma and gregg
caroline in the city

My nominees are...
Who's The Boss
ALF
Busting Loose (Adam Arkin, around 1977)
Angie

Regarding All in the Family and Cheers appearing on this list - Are you kidding???
These are two shows were innovative and brilliantly written. Class!

The worst US import I ever saw here in the UK (and shame on Sky for buying it) was definitely 'Full House'.

'Friends' also sucks. It is so popular here too and that saddens me a lot!

The worst of our own sitcoms (and boy, what a list of candidates!) has to be 'Bottle Boys' which was an 80's series. Truly awful.

I know we are all different and don't always laugh at the same things but I'm amazed at shows like 'Cheers', 'Roseanne', 'Beverly Hillbillies' and 'Ellen' appearing in people's lists above.

Beverly Hillbillies!!!

James, I kind of liked Three's Company....

Me too. It's funny how your favorite show can be one other people dislike. Personally, I am amazed that Friends has been picked by some people. I think this show is hilarious! I do have to admit the last few seasons haven't been as good (but I still enjoy watching it).

Some of y'all's picks shocked me a little bit.

First off, James, I respect people's opinions, but, you putting AITF on that list was a very unwise thing.

Also, I disagree with some people saying Alf, Who's the Boss, Family Matters, Green Acres, Three's Company, Petticoat Junction and Cheers

I DO agree with the rest of them

Get a Life
Beverly Hillbillies
Andy Griffith
The Brady Bunch
F Troop
Gunsmoke
Mayberry RFD

Well I think many of today's sitcoms suck, like Friends, among others.

------------------
My favorite WKRP
charcter is Andy Travis.

i think i'm a little to young to think this old humor is funny (50's sitcoms) it's just like watching a horror movie from my parents time..it scared the hell out of them but i'm bored to death, i guess i have a weird sense of humor.

I have to disagree (respectfully) on the following shows: Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies; Cheers, Married with Children; Friends (although I think it's sucked for the past few years) All in the Family, and the Brady Bunch...I liked those shows (at least I don't think they sucked from day one)...AITF was great for the first 2 or 3 years, but then went downhill.

But, I totally agree with Laverne & Shirley, Full House, Webster, Three's Company, Rosanne, Happy Days, Who's the Boss and ALF. Also, I would like to add:

WKR(A)P in Cincinnati
Barney Miller
Silver Spoons
Taxi (I know a lot of folks will disagree with me on this one, and that's ok...it's just that I absolutely hate everyone that was on this show, especially Tony Danza...I like Danny DeVito in the movies, however).

Of course, we could add a lot of shows that had a brief run and were quickly cancelled (Delta House, which I never watched, but you just KNOW that one sucked)...but I'm thinking more along the lines of fairly long running sitcoms that sucked from day 1.

I'm sure I'll think of some more. Bye for now :-)

Gotta disagree with WKRP. Never has there been an episode I didn't laugh at. I do agree with L&S, 3's Company, and Roseanne.

How can anyone say Roseanne be said as sucky all the way through? That's absurd. That's like saying Married With Children sucked all the way through. Of course, the sitcom had it's low points, but it didn't simply SUCK. Now, if it's something like Becker we are talking about, that's a different story...

Tv shows of today suck, I think!! freinds is really getting on my nerves!! I don't care if the network can't afford them!! Let em' go, they aint my pales!! but in respect to everyone we all do have different taste!! so it depends on what floats ur boat!!

Thought of a couple of others -

Welcome Back Kotter
Mork & Mindy (especially looking back on it)
Almost any 90's sitcom (except Seinfeld, of course)
Golden Girls (Rue M. as a sex symbol???? Gimme a break)

Dawsongirl - I probably was a little harsh on WKRP - I do know a lot of folks who still like that show. The only thing is, with the exception of Loni, I hate every individual that was on that show (regardless of how talented they might have been). I don't know what it is about them, but I just hate 'em. Same with the cast of Taxi, Barney Miller (and Fish, if you wanna throw that in while we're at it)...

I'll think of some more later...bye for now :-)

WKRP in Cincinnati
Three's Company
Mork and Mindy

oh my gosh, how could I forget The Love Boat??!!!?! How stupid of me!!

[QUOTE]Originally posted by TVLanFan:

are you nuts, THE GOLDEN GIRLS is one of the most classic, wonderful truly innovative and classy shows every made, that's like saying that, I love lucy wasn't funny or that Hill Street Blues wasn't critically acclaimed, or that saved by the bell was written by genuises. GET REAL! GOLDEN GIRLS ROCKS!

The sad thing about the last 4 I listed is that I once found them funny.

The worst television series ever:

That show is a disgrace to all sitcoms ever created.

Here's my list in order from worst to...well, still pretty bad:

Full House
Growing Pains
Who's The Boss?
Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Family Matters
Gimme a Break

Titus (No one's mentioned this one yet. I simply hate it!)

---plus anything that's on the WB (except Sabrina, which I love) and UPN

I have to go with
Titus
227

I think these shows suck (are lousy, not worth watching):

- Maude
- Roseanne
- Taxi
- Hogan's Heroes
- Sgt. Bilko/Phil Silvers Show
- McHale's Navy
- The Partridge Family
- The Beverly Hillbillies
- Barney Miller
- The Facts Of Life

My Choices Are-

3rd Rock From the Sun
Addams Family

BRADY BUNCH!!!!!!! IT WAS STUPID!
Caroline in the City
Charles in Charge
Clueless
Cosby Show
Drew Carey Show (who watches this show?)

Jamie Foxx Show
Mayberry R.F.D.
The Monkees (my god why did this show air?)
Murphy Brown (give me a barf bag!)
Rhoda
WKRP in Cincinnati
Three's A Crowd
Weber Show

Well, the shows that I think sucked all the way through are:

Happy Days
Taxi
Hogan's Heroes
M*A*S*H
Full House
*Almost all of the sitcoms that started in the 90's (there are a few exceptions, like Fresh Prince, Home Improvement, Spin City and Seinfeld)

I respect everyone's opinions, but I
don't see how the following episodes
"sucked all the way through":
- Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
- Roseanne
- Facts of Life
- Saved By The Bell
- The Cosby Show
- Full House
- Golden Girls
- Beverly Hills 90210
Most of these are classics or most popular from the 80's and 90's. All of
these shows were a success and still are
to this day. That's just my opinion though!

May I join in?

I disagree with the following, many of them vehemently so:

ALF
All in the Family
Andy Griffith
Barney Miller
Cheers
Cosby Show
The Facts of Life
Family Ties
Get a Life
Gimme a Break
Golden Girls
Good Times
Green Acres
M*A*S*H
Married with Children
Maude
Roseanne
Taxi (the only time I can stand Tony Danza)
227
Webster
What's Happening
WKRP in Cincinnati

I strongly agree with Who's the Boss, Growing Pains, Saved by the Bell, Friends and Full House.

I thought the Brady Bunch was just an average show; watchable, but not very funny.

May I add:

Malcolm in the Middle (of making me intensely sick; unworthy of following My Mother the Car let alone The Simpsons)

(S)Will and Grace (gays and lesbians should be embarrassed by it)

Wings (of all the junk USA network has shown...)

NewsRadio (good cast, poor writing)

Dukes of Hazzard (this is what happens when blood relatives conceive children together)

THE BRADY BUNCH! omg i hate that show
Full House sucked in A LOT of eps but a few were ok
Beverly Hillbillies

To those who said Friends and Three's Company suck well your wrong your very,very wrong

Arli$$
ED
Girlfriends
Sex and the city
COPS
America's most wanted
Union Sqaure
Doctor Doctor
South Park

Well I am not into friends. Too many sexual references on there. 3's company does the same thing too but friends is more of "who's sleeping with who". 3'company is one of my favorites. Friends does have some funny scenes, but I'm not really into it, though.

I liked Friends when it first came out, but got bored after yet another Ross & Rachel cliffhanger.

I'll say:
All in the family
The Donna reed show
Roseanne
Grace under fire
Friends
Sanford and son
Hill street blues
The Honeymooners

May I join in?
I strongly agree with Who's the Boss, Growing Pains, Saved by the Bell, Friends and Full House.

Quite so on all of those, and for me, it would include, among others:

Seinfeld
Everybody Loves Raymond
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Two and a Half Men

Full House was so horrible. It annoys me there's millennial women out there gushing about what a classic they deem it to be.

Quite so on all of those, and for me, it would include, among others:

Seinfeld
Everybody Loves Raymond
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Two and a Half Men
I agree with you on two and a half men. It was just a sitcom that was misogynistic towards women. And did you notice almost each episode title was something sex related.

The title of this thread should be changed to "shows you dislike".

Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. Of course some people are going to love "All in the Family" and some people are going to absolutely hate it with a passion. Everyone's taste buds aren't the same nor should they be.

[QUOTE=Alan Brady's Hair]I think the question makes a certain amount of sense. I would say that I dislike Will & Grace, but I thought the first year or two were actually good, so I wouldn't say it sucked all the way through.

Now Ned and Stacey (keeping with Debra Messing vehicles) - that sucked all the way through, top to bottom, 'round the sides, and up the back.[/QUOTEi feel the same way about community that you do about w&g I really enjoyed the first season of community and thought that parts of it were lol funny:lol: but then when dan harmon and his yes people started to believe that his crap was made of gold he v really seemed to not care what the viewers thought anymore and the show just became totally unfunny and boring]

According to Jim
The First Family
Mr. Box Office
Most of Tyler Perry's sitcoms

The laugh tracks on all of the above would have you think these shows were hilarious...I never even cracked a smile.

Ned and Stacey holds a soft spot in my heart for some reason...I remember the first season being a little better.

Most of Tyler Perry's sitcoms

Tyler Perry did worse than that, IMO-- none of his films were funny either!

These shows I could never get into because either: A) Their popularity baffled me, or B) Their basic premise was just plain stupid.

Mace Dolex, I think everyone can agree that My Mother The Car was a horrible sitcom. I've never seen it, but just the description of the premise. How on earth was that even made into a pilot? I'll never understand it. And apparently they let it run for a whole season!

Some sitcoms that I thought were awful from beginning to end.

Roseanne, Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Step By Step, Three's Company, and Two And A Half Men to name a few. I could go on but it's late.

Ed.

The now defunct UPN network when it first started had lots of garbage early on:

Platypus Man
Pig Sty
Shasta McNasty
The Secret Diary Of Desmond Pfeiffer
The Mullets
Homeboys In Outerspace

I don't know about the rest of you but I don't watch the shows that I think suck. So I don't know if they sucked all the way through.

I don't know about the rest of you but I don't watch the shows that I think suck. So I don't know if they sucked all the way through.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!! That's why this thread makes no sense to me. It should have - as tlc38tlc38 mentioned - been titled "Shows You Dislike."

So I can only assume everyone who responded to this thread has watched all the shows they mentioned from beginning to end in order to come up with the opinion that the show sucked all the way through. ;)

The only show I can claim that for is "Two and a Half Men." I never liked it but would check in on it from time to time because I feel if I'm going to bash a show, I should keep up with it. But other shows I don't like, I just don't watch.

And dang, I'm seeing some great shows being mentioned in this thread! But you know, opinions and all that.

No, not everyone can agree on that, as I've actually seen the entire run of the series it's no where as bad as its reputation, and is actually a very funny show. All the performers were good, some of the writing was even a head of its time.

Yeah, that premise was so silly in the 60s, what with shows about a guy and his talking horse, or shows about guys who marry witches, or shack up with genies. Or a family of monsters with a pet dragon.
A talking car is so ridiculous that they would never ever attempt to use that premise again, not even in the 80s.

What I disagree with: Barney Miller. I saw that all the way through from Shout!'s full release, and that one was well worth the money.

I do, however, agree with The Facts of Life, Hogan's Heroes, Westerns, McHale's Navy, and recent comedies.

How about a show I think is overrated. The Jeffersons. Overall, not that funny.

The Cosby Show Can't stand it now!!
Welcome Back Kotter GARBAGE!! Want a real sitcom in a classroom? Watch Head of the Class or the White Shadow for drama.

I would say that All In The Family, even though it now has historic status as "Groundbreaking TV" and "Classical comedy" (both which seem to contradict each other when you think of it) was in many ways overrated.

It was not as "Politically in-correct" as it is reputed to be. I don't recall when Archie literally used the "N" word. He used the word "Blacks." He did use slurs for Orientals and Puerto Ricans which at that time may have been less controversial than saying the "N" word. But back in the early 70s it was mostly emphasized that blacks were the ones who were subject to slurs and stereotyping etc.

Back when All In The Family was still a relatively new TV show but also had been on the air for a few seasons, I heard that there were copycat TV shows in other countries which took the "Archie Bunker /dad" character much further and had him say racist and sexist things that are not said on TV in the US.

I actually don't think that it "Sucked" more than I did not particularly like the show. There were some individual episodes that I thought were funny.
It just seemed that the characters were portrayed in such overdone ways, and the situations that the characters found themselves in were very often so improbable, and when the situations were more realistic, then the ways that the characters interacted with others and the outcomes of that were not probable.



In a way I can accept All In The Family's part in TV history, so to speak. It was something of a first, but the show's controversial placement into prime time TV was not so much a matter of "The public and TV big-wigs not accepting political incorrectness, and All In The Family breaking censorship barriers for the sake of free speech" than it was just common TV politics about what is or isn't a good idea for a sitcom.

Night Court (looks so stupid now!)

Night Court (looks so stupid now!)


It is something how it is a matter of retrospect as to how awful a TV show seems to be only after many years have passed since it was popular,
and there are other shows to compare it to or your own tastes have changed or gotten more sophisticated.

I have always thought Chico and The Man really "Sucked."
I think it "Sucks" now more than ever.
The entire idea was so absurd .

My Mother The Car is a good show. It wasn't the best at the time, but it is still enjoyable to watch.

How about a show I think is overrated. The Jeffersons. Overall, not that funny.

Actually, IMO, that's right on. I had gotten the first couple of seasons' worth a time back, and I couldn't even get through the first season's worth. Just wanted to say that you also saved me the money that I would have spent on Shout!'s release of the lot.

The Jefferson's are an Ok show. Not good but not bad either. I liked Good Times more

Me too. It's funny how your favorite show can be one other people dislike. Personally, I am amazed that Friends has been picked by some people. I think this show is hilarious! I do have to admit the last few seasons haven't been as good (but I still enjoy watching it).
I still watch Friends every evening at 5:00 and I've seen all the episodes so many times/.

The Jefferson's are an Ok show. Not good but not bad either. I liked Good Times more
The Jerffersons and Good Times were good at one time but then I got tired of seeing them all the time.

Green Acres and the Beverly Hillbillies.
Green Acers was funny in the 60's when it was on but now it's stupid. I love the Beverly Hillbillies until I saw all the episodes.

How can anyone say Roseanne be said as sucky all the way through? That's absurd. That's like saying Married With Children sucked all the way through. Of course, the sitcom had it's low points, but it didn't simply SUCK. Now, if it's something like Becker we are talking about, that's a different story...

The sad thing about the last 4 I listed is that I once found them funny.
All the shows you mentioned, I liked.

I agree with you on two and a half men. It was just a sitcom that was misogynistic towards women. And did you notice almost each episode title was something sex related.
I loved 2 and a half men and still watch the reruns at 11:00 PM

oh my gosh, how could I forget The Love Boat??!!!?! How stupid of me!!
The Love Boat I love it and watch the reruns every Sun at 5:00.

As light as Love Boat is in content, it's an indispenable time capsule of Hollywood history now.

Especially with the good many guest stars on each show!

CPO Sharkey gets my vote for "sucked all the way through."

Actually, IMO, that's right on. I had gotten the first couple of seasons' worth a time back, and I couldn't even get through the first season's worth. Just wanted to say that you also saved me the money that I would have spent on Shout!'s release of the lot.
The first few seasons were slow, like All in the Family. I think it really hit its stride around 1979. I'm honestly find Norman Lear's sitcoms pretty hard to watch nowadays. They were groundbreaking 40 years ago, but now they just seem so preachy.

I never understood how According to Jim lasted eight seasons. Horrible sitcom, IMO. Yes, Dear was pretty bad too.

Here are the sitcoms that I think eat!...

50's...

Except for I Love Lucy...I never got into these shows...The Burns and Allen Show a little bit...buy maybe It's because they were too suburban and white-bred...but I'll give any 50's sitcom another chance. Oh...and The Honeymooners was funny too. I'll give 50's sitcoms a slide on yhis!...

60's...

That decade, sitcoms went for off-the-wall concepts, so I'll give 60's sitcoms a pass too!

70's...

The Brady Brunch

80's...

Growing Pains

90's...

Roseanne
Veronica's Closet
Ellen
Dharma and Greg
The Nanny
Unhappily Ever After
TGIF once they ditched Family Matters and Step by Step

2000's...

Almost every sitcom in this century...most of them have four to five bland characters and one ******* and you ask "Why are these guys hanging around this guy"?

Full House
Dharma and Greg
Two Guys, A Girl, and A Pizza Place
Chico and The Man(Freddie Prinze's stand up is great, but this show is not)
Growing Pains
227

Head Of The Class(This show is 80s fluff, Welcome Back Kotter is at least "guilty pleasure fun dumb humor" that stands up today)

Head Of The Class has aged so well it's not on DVD! The show isn't memorable at all and has corny 80s humor that doesn't hold up. You may not like Kotter but it has enough of an audience to be on DVD, Head Of The Class does not!

Roseanne
Friends
Three's Company
ALF

Ed.

Shows that sucked all the way through:

The Addams Family
