I was just wondering what shows everyone thinks should have been cancelled before they started. This may have been posted before I don't know because I'm new to the boards.

well, i never really liked Gillians island but i like it.. it hard to explain... the show annoys me but i still watch it. I'd say probably i would've done the show differently. I didnt like Brady Bunch that much... but i like to make fun of it.. so i couldnt live without. um... alot of the shows out now are really bad... OHHH I GOT IT! I HATE KING OF THE HILL! if i could cann a show, it would be King Of The Hill... i didnt like Hillbillies either. lol

I'm going to let some of the older shows slip by, but there are a few recent shows that should have never made it to prime time...

"Leap Of Faith"
"Inside Shwartz"
"The Single Guy"
"Baby Bob"
"According To Jim"

Green Acres is a good one. I loath redneck comedies, so I guess you could add The Jeff Foxworthy Show to my list as well.(Both ABC and NBC)
