What was the worst plot introduced in a TV show ever?

[TMC]

TV shows tend to make some rather questionable decisions with certain plot lines, so which one was the worst?

[70s show watcher]

how about the whole jim/sam plotline on ghost whisperer that was just plain idiotic

[Edward216]

When they brought back Bobby from the dead on Dallas and decided that a whole season was just a "dream".

Ed.

[Fontaine]

Daphne marries Niles on "Frasier" and suddenly turns into a nagging shrew.

First thought that came to mind; you beat me to it!

From IMDB:

Fire Captain Buddy Krebs' 16-year-old daughter Jennie Lee begins getting show-business offers because of her singing talents in the country/pop genre. This scares Buddy because he does not want his daughter to grow up too fast. Adding to his troubles, are (1) his wife runs off with a bellhop, (2) his 17-year-old son has muscle instead of brains in his head, (3) his crew down at the firehouse are "strange": Feldmand tells his mother he is a doctor instead of a fireman, Rosetti has only sex on the brain and Max, a Hispanic, speaks fractured English. Finally, his daughter signs with a manager named Moose; the name fits the description of the woman.


Cancelled in two months. Should have been two minutes.

One thing I learned a long time ago about this short-lived '82 ABC comedy: it was from Paramount Television (which, if it is ever rerun or on DVD, would have it under CBS Television Distribution).
