Quote:

Every now and then, a sitcom comes along that isn't just forgettable, it's unforgettably bad. We aren't saying we can do better, mind you, we're just saying that it's unbelievable that some comedies progress through multiple stages of development and make it to TV screens while still being irredeemably awful. The latest show to make us shake our heads is The Paul Reiser Show, which is all about Paul Reiser's real life, something that hasn't been very interesting since Mad About You (or even, arguably, My Two Dads). And while there have been bad television shows since the birth of the medium, we're going to focus on the ones that are still freshest (and therefore still painful) in our collective memory. Editor's note: After reading the premise of each of these, insert the words "Hijinks ensue."

10. Accidentally on Purpose

9. Worst Week

8. Gary Unmarried

7. Hank

6. Encore! Encore!

5. Carpoolers

4. Stacked

3. Romantically Challenged

2. Cavemen

1. Do Not Disturb

The only show of these that I watched was Hank.

I am surprised that Worst Week and Gary Unmarried are on this list. Surely there are worst sitcoms than these two that have aired in the last decade?!

I'm shocked Caveman was only number two!!!! And like rcbrad I'm surprised to see Gary Unmarried on this list.

Of the shows I've seen on that list (Accidentally on Purpose, Gary Unmarried, Hank, Carpoolers, Romantically Challenged, Cavemen), the only one that was remotely watchable was Gary Unmarried. Perhaps this list forgot about "Emeril," "Kath & Kim," and "Listen Up"

I'm also surprised to see "GARY UNMARRIED" on that list; I thought that show was pretty good. Not every week, but most of the time.

i'm surprised joey wasn't on that list- it was IMO awful

Gary Unmarried and Accidentally on Purpose were pretty good comedies! This list really isn't that good...
