Default Worst sitcom series

In the past week, we have shared our opinions about the worst actors and actresses to ever appear on sitcoms, so I felt it was only natural to start a discussion about the worst series of all time. My personal choices:


Full House
Family Matters
Fresh Prince
Who's The Boss
Growing Pains
What's Happening
Sister Sister
Andy Richter Controls The Universe
Joey
Cavemen
The Mindy Project

Bonus pick - Worst new series of 2014-15 : Selfie

Isn't it wonderful how we all like/dislike different shows but (so far) there hasn't been any bashing about it.

Some I agree with, some I don't, and a lot I never watched. Some on the list like My Mother The Car are the generic go to's that always get put on the list, and it's no where as bad as its reputation.

Mama's Family definitely does not belong on the list.
