Green Acres with a doubt. The theme song and show itself was a bad combination for my stomach.

Chain Gang Member · 05-26-2004, 06:33 PM

It is actually a good show once you get into it

Steve M. · 05-26-2004, 08:42 PM

I used to like "Gilligan's Island," but now you couldn't make me watch it!

The Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres. I don't know which one is worse.

dandelion wine · 05-27-2004, 01:13 AM

Wasn't around for long but... My Mother The Car.

Mr. Television · 05-27-2004, 01:16 AM

I'll go with My Mother The Car since I like most of the hit sitcoms of the 1960's.

FamilyTiesGOP · 05-27-2004, 09:32 AM

I cannot watch Gilligan's Island at all. It is just way too boring for me.

One thing the 60s shows have going for them is that I don't feel uncomfortable having them on with small kids in the room. They are more innocent. I grew up watching reruns of those shows during the 70s and early 80s and they are charming in their own way, not revolutionary for the most part but charming still. The fact that they couldn't be risque made them have to be more inventive about how to suggest certain things.

As for unwatchability I never did like Green Acres or Petticoat Junction. I hear Green Acres had drug references in it, so I wouldn't mind watching it now to see if I could find them. The Monkees was a favorite when I was 8 but I watched it as an adult and can't understand what I found so appealing about that show. The drug references are very obvious in that series, like everybody bonged up before they started filming.

The Beverly Hillbillies and Green Arces; two of the worst, mindless shows I have ever seen..Complete Crap...

Michael [hXc] · 05-28-2004, 07:19 AM

Hogan's Heroes: the stupidest premise for a sitcom in the history of TV.

I forgot about Hogan Heroes-LOL

Sitcomwriter · 05-28-2004, 05:08 PM

The Beverly Hillbillies is not only the worst 60's sitcom (the 60's were the worst decade for sitcoms IMO) but it's also the worst sitcom ever! #2 is The Andy Griffith Show and other 60's "classics" like "Leave it to Beaver" are on that list too!

Watcha talking about Willis?

It's a toss up between "Hogan's Heroes" and "The Beverly Hillbillies" but Jethro gives the "Hillbillies" the nod
