Worst T.V. Shows given too many chances

[Airhog]

What are some T.V. shows that you think suck ass, but keep coming back for more?



For me and probably 80% of the people on here, it has to be those dumbass reality shows. Survivor isnt a bad show, but most of the other ones suck ass.

it's a shame you haven't been contacted to be on that show yet.. or have you?

[Anthony]

they use actors on Surreal Life? i always knew the show was written, but i at least thought the rednecks were authentic. i only watched a couple episodes from the first season, i didn't think there was enough to justify several seasons.

every time I watch it, it just bores me silly. I don't find it funny like many others, so I don't get what the big stink is bout. I find the characters unlikeable, so the show doesn't do anything for me. I don't like Curb Your Enthusiasm either, they're kinda the same brand of comedy, I guess.

Speaking of endless bad reruns, FRIENDS falls completely into that category. Never understood the appeal of it originally other than maybe someone needed to live vicariously through these folks, but why them? Basically 5 dummies with 1 funny guy who, due to low self-esteem, allows the other two male dummies to call all the shots.

The biggest girl dummy at least knows she's a dummy, but the biggest guy dummy always seems to wind up talking to inanimate objects, or insects, or something else equally assinine and this is somehow hilarious. Best observation I ever heard about the show was how in the heck did these 6 always wind up getting the prime seating in the coffee house? Even Seinfeld and Co. sat at different tables in the diner from time to time.

[sabotai]

The Simple Life...there's a show that needs to disappear ASAP. Everyone involved with that show should be shot.

Not to direct this at you personally but I never understand when someone says they hate a tv show and then proceeds to give a descripition of it like they saw it a million times. Unless your spouse or something watches but even then cant you find something else to do for 30 minutes.

Its a good point, and I'll respond though you may still think I'm full of it anyways. Why I referrenced the 'reruns' part in my post. Like he said earlier about Dahrma and Greg being always on the TV, same with Friends. You just can't avoid it. Though I never have watched it for more than 5 minutes at a time (believe it or not) still run across it enough times to have made the previous observations. I am a continuous channel-surfer, and even if something I like is on that I'm watching as soon as the commercial comes I go clicking. Why I can't watch TV with my wife (who doesn't like insipid Friends either.)

I'm with Mr Wheels on that... Friends was horrid tv..

I despised seinfeld as well.. i'm a very sarcastic dry humor person.. and i thought seinfeld was the stupidest thing on tv..

i never got the appeal of Seinfeld. sure, it must've been a nice show, but the characters annoyed me immensely. the jokes weren't that funny. never knew why they built this show up to be one of the all-time great sitcoms.

Friends was really good for its first two (or was it three?) seasons, but then they took the characters to an extreme and that's when people kept watching because of inertia, not because the show was good.

I think Seinfeld is a pretty good show but it seems to have developed a cultish following around it. Trying being the least bit critical about it to these people and they are ready to string you up.

[KWhit]

Seinfeld = Best sitcom ever.

Friends = Crap.


Just my opinion, of course.

You really shouldn't share your opinion if it's terribly wrong.

[Tigercat]

Survivor. Its not the worst reality show ever, I suppose, but its gimmic is stale and its not even half of what it pretends to be in name and description. When you have something like 8 seasons of a show(maybe more?) that is suppose to be about surviving in adverse conditions in the wild and the worst and only real problematic incident is a guy burning his hands in the fire(although it was pretty bad hand burns) then what you don't have is a game of surviving. Its basically "Oh lets feed you guys less than you get fed in your typical western lifestyle, have you guys play silly athletic games, and form cliques like 12 year old girls."

How about you get those contestents to sign some real heavy duty wavers, put them on an Island, and really see about a real game of survival. Pull them off when they decide to quit or professionals observing decide they are really in trouble. You know, a real show of survival, one where they don't get to compete for a can of pringles or a pizza every show. /rant off.

this is what i thought Survivor was gonna be like the first time i ever heard about it. when i read further and found out it was gonna be competitions and they weren't gonna really have to fend for themselves...i passed.

i thought they were gonna plant camera's all around the island, send off a group of people with nothing more than the clothes they were wearing, and let humans do what humans do when we're in close quarters without the amenities of life.

oh well.

I remember seeing a few episodes of a show that did something along those lines. I think it was on ESPN. Basically it was teams of five or so competing against each other in outdoor activities, like pathfinding, with the winner getting food and the loser going hungry. Since losing food for a few days in a row could really put you behind the eight ball, it was interesting to watch.

[Warhammer]

Friends was really good for its first two (or was it three?) seasons, but then they took the characters to an extreme and that's when people kept watching because of inertia, not because the show was good.

Amen to that. After Ross and Rachel started dating (season 3, I think), the show went down hill.

The Office by NBC...anyone else feel this way? Ive watched all 3 episodes...I guess I just wish it would make me laugh...just a single time. But seriously in 3 whole episodes...nothing.
Not I. Isn't as good as the original (what is?), but pretty funny by itself. I thought the 3rd Episode was funnier than the 2nd.

Oh, and I will join with people who will hunt down those listing "Arrested Development" on this thread. It's utterly brilliant.

Though my favorite show of all time is Seinfeld (and it's not even close), so maybe that explains it ;).

I also think seinfeld is by far the best ever. Thats why I'm so perplexed you like The Office. What particularly have you liked about it? The Steve Caroll boss is so over the top. In the first episode he's playing a nazi. The second he "punks" an employee and tell her shes fired without pension (she cries) and the last one he promises a big suprise and in the end he doesnt deliver. Like I said, I may watch another episode or 2 but I havent heard anything laugh out loud funny yet.

I love the uncomfortable moments. The whole racial sensitivity episode where everyone was so on edge and the only black guy in the office was picked to be 'black' in the exercise. The "punks" episode was still the first one. The second episode involved the racial stuff where the boss is telling a Chris Rock joke and the higher ups come in.

The big surprise was funny as well, especially since Caroll could not even weasal out of it and they all had to walk away. It was especially amusing when the wierd guy (who was amazing when he was on "Six Feet Under" as well) was trying to come up with a health plan and was asking everyone their diseases. You had your joke diseases (funny in itself), but then he was saying no one has anal leakage when the guy raises his hand and said, no that isn't a joke.

It amuses me. I like the fact that it has no laugh track and the humor is in the parts that are uneasy.

[Franklinnoble]

Star Trek.

Seriously. They should have left it alone after The Next Generation. Three more series on top of that were just too much.

Which begs the question - why do they always have to beat the crap out of a modestly successful TV show? I mean, how many versions of Law and Order or CSI do we have now? Can't they just do one good show? Why stretch it?

[JeeberD]

Yup, SVU is awesome. Can't stand CI though...

Well, I like Law and Order: SVU much more than the original, as I've heard other people say as well. I could do without Criminal Intent and the other two spinoffs though.

[cody8200]

I admit the uneasiness is something that is prevalent throughout all of the episodes so far. I do find that to be a good thing. Maybe this is one of those shows that I'll watch and instead of laughing I'll say, "That's funny" but never actually laugh out loud...speaking of that, I believe that was an episode of Seinfeld.

Do you work in an office Cody? Have you ever? If not, you won't get most of the jokes. The wife and I are office slaves and both find it laugh out loud funny, especially my wife, who just quit a job working for a particularly clueless boss.

[Ragone]

So i guess to get seinfeld's humor.. you have to have no humor.. no life.. no aspirations..

no wonder nobody outside of new york likes that show :)

[Swaggs]

I really like Eyes." It is a fun show that the wife and I have both enjoyed. I hope it gets a shot. I liked North Shore for a few episodes, but it got terrible pretty quickly.

It is troubling for NBC that the Office" is on the bubble. They publicized the hell out of it. Kind of reminds me of that Couplings show that was supposed to be the heir apparent to Friends and then lasted about 4 episodes.

[wishbone]

From the list earlier, these are the only shows that my wife or I have made a point to watch. The rest I either haven't heard of or have not seen more than 5 continuous minutes.
CSI (only Las Vegas)
Law & Order ( can't tell the difference between these)
ER ( just my wife and probably only until the "hot" doctor leaves, unless he is replaced by another "hottie")
House
The Simpsons
Bernie Mac (miss 2 of 3 episodes)
Arrested Development (simply ridiculous, makes me laugh)

[sterlingice]

That's always been my thought of Seinfeld and Friends anyways. You have to like that neurotic, proprietary, inside-joke centric humor. So unless you live on the coasts or are people who wish they lived on the coasts- it's just not funny.

SI

[timmynausea]

Seinfeld was the number 1 show on tv for years, and one of the top rated sit-coms of all time. I guess a lot of people must wish they lived on the coast.

[SunDevil]

I don't know. I like Seinfeld now, but for a while, I just didn't get it or find it amusing. It took a lot of watching to understand the hype.

[tategter]

I would like to watch TV with my wife again, so Survivor, American Karaoke Idol, the Apprentice, and all other reality show crap must go.

Reality shows are the broadway of tv, if it wasn't for women and gay men they would not exist.

[WrongWay]

Wow, I can't believe Scrubs is considered a Shoo-in.

Also, I would miss "Listen UP" as I am starting to finally get into it, and my girlfriend would really miss "Yes, Dear"

[gottimd]

NBC just announced that they are cancelling L&O: Trial by Jury. The office was renewed.

RETURNING LATER IN THE SEASON:
* Fear Factor
* Scrubs

ON-THE-BUBBLE SHOWS RENEWED:
* The Office
* Will & Grace

BUBBLE SHOWS DISCARDED:
* Committed
* Law & Order: Trial By Jury (USA Today said only last month it was a shoo-in for renewal!!)

CANCELLED EARLIER THIS SEASON:
* American Dreams
* Father of the Pride
* Hawaii
* LAX
* Medical Investigation
* Third Watch

NEW:
* E-Ring
Actioner, from screenwriter David McKenna (“Blow,” “SWAT”), about the activities of the Pentagon. It stars Dennis Hopper (“24”) and Benjamin Bratt (“Catwoman”).
* Fathom
Sci-fi hourlong, from Josh and Jonas Pate (“G vs. E,” “Dragnet”), about a race of creatures who emerge from below the oceans’ surface near Anarctica, California and the Gulf States. It stars Lake Bell (“Boston Legal”) and Rade Serbedzija (“Eyes Wide Shut”).
* Inconceivable
Hourlong, from writers Marco Pennette (“All About The Andersons,” “I’m With Her,” “What I Like About You”) and Oliver Goldstick (“American Dreams,” “Desperate Housewives”) about a fertility clinic. It stars Ming-Na (“ER”) and Jonathan Cake (“The American Embassy”).
* My Name Is Earl
Sitcom, from Greg Garcia ("Yes, Dear"), about a crook who goes straight after winning the lottery. It stars Jason Lee (“Vanilla Sky”).
* Three Wishes
Reality series, from Andrew Glassman & Jason Raff (“Average Joe”), about a team of do-gooders who grant wishes. It’s hosted by recording artist Amy Grant.
MID-SEASON:

Sitcom, from the writing team of David Kohan and Max Mutchnick (“Boston Common,” “Will & Grace,” “Good Morning, Miami”), about four best friends in New York. It stars Seth Green (the “Austin Powers” franchise).
* Thick and Thin
Sitcom, from writers Lorne Michaels & Paula Pell (“Saturday Night Live”) about a skinny girl who used to weigh 300 pounds. It stars Jessica Capshaw (“The Practice”).

[Butter]

Scrubs a mid-season replacement? Sucks.

[Blackadar]

Any show with Tony Danza lasts too long.

[rkmsuf]

The sitcom lineup on all of tv today is just horrid.

It's like nobody funny is working in television.

[Dr. Sak]

I wish NBC would have given American Dreams one more shot. They never did any marketing for that show and I think that was a main reason for the low ratings.

[gstelmack]

* Thick and Thin
Sitcom, from writers Lorne Michaels & Paula Pell (“Saturday Night Live”) about a skinny girl who used to weigh 300 pounds. It stars Jessica Capshaw (“The Practice”).
What, Courtney Cox-Arquette refused the "Monica" spinoff, so they had to retitle and recast it?

[sterlingice]

* E-Ring
Actioner, from screenwriter David McKenna (“Blow,” “SWAT”), about the activities of the Pentagon. It stars Dennis Hopper (“24”) and Benjamin Bratt (“Catwoman”).
Gotta love the "also known from" where they clearly missed the boat on other stuff people have been in. I mean, really, why not Dennis Hopper ("a couple of eps of 24", "GTA: Vice City" voice acting, "Waterworld", and the pretty bad "Super Mario Bros" movie) and Benjamin Bratt (that generic Hispanic guy in "Demolition Man" because every futuristic movie/show has at least one member from every major racial group).

[dubb93]

Star Trek.

Seriously. They should have left it alone after The Next Generation. Three more series on top of that were just too much.


I may be in the minority, but I must disagree here. Deep Space Nine came after The Next Generation and for my money completely blew it away. Voyager was decent, but was put on a bad station[UPN]. Enterprise lost all of its audience with a couple of horrible seasons to start out, however the last 2 have been top notch. UPN just can't figure out what to do with Star Trek, before America's top Model? Seriously? They can't have the same target audience.

I would love for another series set in the TNG/DS9 era to air. Just put it on the Sci Fi channel, not UPN. I think that the downfall of Star Trek has had more to do with UPN showing them on the same night as stupid shit, than with the actual shows themselves.

[Cuckoo]

I thought Deep Space Nine was horrible, boring and too much "soap opera" stuff for me. I loved Next Generation and enjoyed Voyager until it started getting a little desperate toward the end. Enterprise was good here and there but really suffered from characters that just weren't that interesting and not enough innovative writing.

Just my opinion.

I love "24" and all, but I really wonder how much more they can realistically pull out of it. I don't want it to jump the shark.

[terpkristin]

What a shocker (can you taste my sarcasm).

Yet another season that most TV sucks.
So far, of the shows listed for ABC AND NBC, Scrubs and West Wing are the only ones I look forward to.

/tk

[gottimd]

Most if not all of the new shows both networks list look/sound horrendous and probably won't last longer than the pilot and a few episodes.

I would like to get my hands on a UPN or WB list of their upcoming season, just to laugh at.

[HomerJSimpson]

THE NIGHT STALKER!!!!!

That is so awesome. Anyone remember the original? Great stuff.

[Pyser]

haha. they credit fred savage for "austin powers". not, you know, one of the most classic tv shows of all time. thats crazy.

and lost and alias have been broken up...for a lost rip-off, it looks like. well, lost meets x-files.

[sterlingice]

Dola...I am grateful that none of the crap from cable will make it onto network television, such as Gastineau Girls, My Sweet Sixteen, ect. The Simpsons need to retire, and hand the "tourch" over to Family Guy.
Yes, the Simpsons should have retired. No, Family Guy isn't fit to carry that torch.

SI

* Freddie
Sitcom, written by Freddie Prinze Jr. (!) and someone named Conrad Jackson, about a successful chef raised by females. With Prinze (“Scooby Doo 2”), Megyn Price (“Grounded For Life”), Jenny Gago (“Coach Carter”), Jacqueline Obradors (“NYPD Blue”) and Brian Austin Green (“Beverly Hills 90210”).


YEAH! Brian Austin Green is back! Word to ya mutha.

[kcchief19]

Hmm... the three 'cheesy' shows that I watch are all on this list (mostly cause of the g/f, i swear) of bubble shows..

Jack & Bobby I thought this was a tremendous premise for a show, albeit not a "sexy" ratings-grabber concept. But after a few viewings I was immediately disappointed that it went for weepy soapy sentimentality instead of insightful character study. I blame Christine Lahti. She's a nice actress for TV, but she gets so darn weepy and whiny.

[JasonC23]

Never mind, I'm dumb sometimes.

Are they really separating Alias and Lost???

[TazFTW]

I love "24" and all, but I really wonder how much more they can realistically pull out of it. I don't want it to jump the shark.
At least 2 more seasons. That's how much it's been renewed for.


ON-THE-BUBBLE SHOWS DISCARDED:
* Blind Justice
* 8 Simple Rules
* Eyes
:( I really liked Eyes and I (probably the only one) was really getting into Blind Justice.

[TazFTW]

dola


Was watching SpikeTv and I saw an ad for a Britney Spears reality show on UPN...


It has already overstayed its welcome.

[LoneStarGirl]

I liked Blind Justice too.. I just never had an opportunity to see it after that first episode.
I knew 8 Simple Rules had to be ending soon, I am suprised at all that the show continued after John Ritter died. It was really hard to watch after that.
Wade_Moore, there isn't anything wrong with liking Joan of Arcadia, expect it means you're sitting at home on a Friday night. My bf and I both enjoy it when we remember its on.

[JasonC23]

dola


Was watching SpikeTv and I saw an ad for a Britney Spears reality show on UPN...


It has already overstayed its welcome.
Even while fast-forwarding through the commercials while watching Star Trek: Enterprise on TiVo, I saw enough of this show to want to claw my eyes out. I don't know who I'm more furious at--UPN for putting this crap on the air or the so-called people who will watch it.

[KWhit]

Wow.

I know her. Very well. Went to acting school with her for 4 years. I had no idea she was doing so well (she was in Hitch, has a recurring role on ER, etc.).

[rjolley]

Just looked over the ABC list and noticed My Wife and Kids wasn't on the list. Did it get canned and not mentioned?

[jbmagic]

Smallville is a great show

why would they put Smallville in a bad timeslot against survivor? i think its going to hurt Smallville rating.

Ugh.

The best part of these listings are the choices of shows/movies given for actors. Geena Davis (“The Geena Davis Show”)
Jennifer Love Hewitt (“Garfield”)
Henry Winkler (“Arrested Development”) [my personal favorite :) ]
Rider Strong (“Cabin Fever”)
Donald Sutherland (“Cold Mountain”)

I was a little upset when I got to the ABC section and they had the nerve to list Neil Patrick Harris's as "Doogie Howser, MD."

Saw the article about Budweiser's "Leon" going to play minor league baseball, then remembered that NBC was supposed to have a comedy based on Leon. I didn't see it on their schedule, though. I did find this from the Denver Post, previewing possible shows:



NBC COMEDY: Where is the next "Cosby," "Seinfeld" or "Friends"? Could it be "All In," starring Janeane Garofalo ("The Truth About Cats and Dogs") as a professional poker player mom? Or "Dante," based on the "Leon" series of Budweiser ads, about a pro football player (Morris Chestnut)? Seth Green in what sounds like a "Friends" clone? Tina Fey ("Saturday Night Live") in a sitcom about the head writer for a variety show? Or "NoTORIous," starring Tori Spelling in a fictionalized version of her life?


So it looks like not only did that show not make the schedule, but the commercial Leon wasn't even going to get the spot. Ouch!

As for that possible Tori Spelling show...O.M.G. Someone tell me they dumped the idea - please?
