Before John Stamos found his forever home on Full House and Carl Weathers stopped fighting Apollo Creed to fight crime in Fortune Dane, 1986 served up a buffet of TV flops so epic they deserve their own wing in the Hall of Forgotten Shows. From Loni Anderson’s Easy Street to the tone-deaf misfire Better Days, we’re counting down ten disastrous series from 1986 that featured big stars, bigger budgets, and some of the worst timing imaginable. Whether you vaguely remember The Last Precinct with Adam West or have blissfully erased Fast Times (the sitcom, not the movie) from your brain, these shows prove that star power alone couldn’t save a bad idea.
