I actually like most of these shows, but a lot of people complain about these shows.

Mr. Shy Guy · 03-08-2002, 10:01 PM

Friends, I seriously don't know why this show is such a hit. I think its terrible.

SitcomChick · 03-09-2002, 06:08 AM

Rosanne. I've always hated that show.

Yeah I know I will probably get slagged for this but I DID NOT!! like MASH!!! one of the worst shows evr created as far as Im concerned!!!

Fresh Prince · 03-09-2002, 08:13 PM

Well I like most of them too, but if I have to pick, Roseanne.

SaintlySinner · 03-10-2002, 04:03 AM

Family Matters. The rest of the cast was tossed to the wayside to make room for 'Urkel', and that boy is funny for all of a minute. The you just want to choke him until his voice sounds normal.

Chocoholic · 03-11-2002, 02:32 AM

Friends. I just plain DO NOT like that show!

Beruche · 03-11-2002, 03:34 AM

Either Friends or Roseanne

Brian Damage · 03-11-2002, 06:30 PM

These are shows that I absolutely detested and found completely unfunny

1. Family Matters- aka The Urkel Show
Had potential until that annoying goofball took over every scene!

2. Full House
When the hell was this drippy, syrupy, corny show EVER funny???

3. A Different World
First season was good and could've blossomed into something great if Lisa Bonet and Marissa Tomei stayed. When they left, the show began to beat everybody over the head with the race issue and to be honest the show was poorly cast after the two stars I mentioned left.

4. Wings
I never understood how this show ever lasted as long as it did. I guess they wanted to keep the creators of Cheers happy by giving this train wreck a long shelf life.

5. Yes Dear
Another horrible show that gets good ratings just because it's sandwiched between two legitimate hits.

Chocoholic · 03-11-2002, 09:12 PM

I know it's not a sitcom, but another show that I don't understand the popularity of is Touched by an Angel. I do like the message that the show tries to send, but it's the same basic plot week after week. It's so sappy, boring, and melodramatic too.

Central Perk · 03-11-2002, 09:35 PM

I have to say Roseanne.

Superbatboy · 03-13-2002, 11:02 PM

LOL...I'm the one who started this topic, and I didn't even say what I voted for. Well, my vote went for Full House. I liked it as a kid, but NOW???? It's a little too cheesy for my tastes.

I vote for "Friends". I think it has set the standard for all of the bad T.V. that has dominated the landscape for the last 5 to 10 years.

I used to think that prime time T.V. was going through a short down phase (like the late 70's/early 80's were) and would spring back in a few seasons.

But I'm beginning to think we have nothing but so-called reality T.V., news magazines (soap opera disguised as news), and "sitcoms about nothing" as far as the eyes can see.
