I admit I have a very person reason for my hatred of Small Wonder. When it was originally on I had to drive around 100 miles every Friday night through very rural areas of Alabama due to school/new job. The tape player in my 1976 Datsun Honeybee didn't work, and the radio only picked up one station - the radio feed of a tv station that seem to run Small Wonder in a 24 hour loop. So for several months I'd make that long dark trek with only the exploits of V.I.C.I. to keep me company...

At the end, LYNDSAY sounds like a kicked dog.  Ah-WOOHh!!  I guess this is from "THE BIONIC WOMAN", but they didn't give her bionic vocal chords... and if this dog jumped up on my sleep-number bed, I'd kick the ol' girl off!! Good girl.  Down.  Lay down.  Quiet.

52 (?). Who's Your Daddy?

Oh Fox, bringer of horrible excuses for TV, why have you created this?!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm7rVQVyAQw

For those of you who don't know what this show is, here's a quick plot summary brought to you by TV Tropes:

Quote
A person who had been adopted as an infant is forced to pick out his/her biological father from a group of 25 men. Picking the right man won $100,000, but otherwise the "impostor" got the money. Yes, you read that correctly — somebody at FOX thought it would be a bright idea to take the paternity tests from Maury and build an entire reality show around them. After being hit with poor ratings, massive public backlash, and the Raleigh-Durham affiliate (WRAZ, the same station that refused to air Married by America) refusing to broadcast the show, FOX canned it after one episode... then aired the other five episodes they had filmed on their Fox Reality cable channel. (So they canned Firefly and saved this?)

Gilligan's Island.

Yeah, I know I'll get flack for saying so, but this show always rubbed me the wrong way. It seems to me that if these people really wanted to get off that island, they'd have killed and eaten Gilligan midway through the first season and escaped the island. Although, I knew someone in college who wrote a paper about this show, showing each of the islanders as personifying one of the Deadly Sins, prisoners of their own sins, trapped on the island with Gilligan, the Devil, their tormentor.

If only. Stupid camp POS...

Some people have compared this to Porkys.  That's an insult.  Every joke falls flat, the sexism is terrible, the plot barely goes anywhere until the end, the romance is awkward, the animation is dull and lazy, and the characters have no substance to them.  It is a series based a porn title and sure shows it.

Check out the opening, but be warned, it is not safe for work and sure shows what you are in for.

There are some classic ones that I hate with a passion like "The Cosby Show." Or any "Leave it to Beaver" style sitcom with the "perfect" family. It's crap, we all knew those shows were crap and we still let the networks force feed them to us. It amazes me when I see drivel like "Two and a Half Men" that people are still falling for this. But that doesn't bug me half as much as reality TV. People love a good train wreck don't they. And let me point out that "American Idol" has ruined the music business. It amazes me that a lot of the same people who say they hate the music on the radio, still watch "Idol." Never once realizing that it's no longer radio or MTV that breaks new artist, it's "Idol!" People don't realize they are part of the problem.

70. Supertrain- One of the biggest disasters in network history.  A short-lived show trying to make a Love Boat out of a train.  Numerous rewrites and technical problems (among other things) doomed this show from the get-go and thankfully died a quick death.
71. You're In The Picture- Another infamous disaster, it was a game show hosted by The Great One, Jackie Gleason.  A person sticks their head through a cut-out and are given clues as to what it is to help them guess it.  So bad, that it lasted one episode.  The 2nd show's time was taking up by Jackie Gleason apologizing to the audience!
72. The Tortellis- A Cheers spinoff starring Carla's ex-husband.  Terrible!

I don't agree that Big Bang Theory is bad, but, I guess it may hit too close for home to some who watch it. Also, Gilligans island is hilarious and I love 'celebrity singing', have all 4 Golden Throats albums and who can resist William Shatner singing the Beatles? :bouncegiggle:   I would pick most shows  these days, simply cause of the cruelty factor that  passes  for humor.

Gilligan's Island.

Yeah, I know I'll get flack for saying so, but this show always rubbed me the wrong way. It seems to me that if these people really wanted to get off that island, they'd have killed and eaten Gilligan midway through the first season and escaped the island. Although, I knew someone in college who wrote a paper about this show, showing each of the islanders as personifying one of the Deadly Sins, prisoners of their own sins, trapped on the island with Gilligan, the Devil, their tormentor.

If only. Stupid camp POS...

TV tropes has a response for this:

Quote
Evidence from the show itself actually help's Gilligan's case. Statistically speaking, out of 98 episodes, only 37 involved a direct possibility of escaping the island. Of those 37, only 17 potential rescues were foiled as a result of Gilligan's actions. Admittedly, that's still a lot of rescues for one man to screw up, but the series also has a large number of episodes where Gilligan's actions save everybody - from death, enslavement, imprisonment, etc.

At the very least eating him would not be a good idea; they could get very sick.

     UPN'S "ethnic" shows from the 90's....never bothered to watch them, don't even remember the titles, all I recall are the promos showing more ghetto stereotypes than you could shake a 40 oz. at.

"Two Broke Girls" - this was absolutely painful to watch.  The acting was horrible and the writing was even worse.  It was the type of sitcom where someone would bring up something random in response to something else JUST so that another character can make an unfunny joke about it.

As soon as I saw the title of this thread, I immediately thought of "Small Wonder" but I see someone beat me to that one quite awhile ago.... soooo, I'm gonna throw out FOX's short lived early 90s superhero show "M.A.N.T.I.S."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4n2qVBv0yi0

I forget what the initials in "M.A.N.T.I.S." really stood for but I remember laughing my ass off when I read a TV critic in the paper who guessed that it meant "Most Audience Not Tuning In Show"

Or how'bout "Manimal," an early '80s NBC show starring the late Simon MacCorkindale (a.k.a. "The guy who played the British a-hole in Jaws 3D") as a millionaire who could transform into animals?

No, wait, WAIT, I got it! Beat THIS ONE!! How about "Mr. Smith," a 1983 abomination about a talking orangutan with a genius IQ who becomes an advisor to the President of the United States? I'm serious, I'm not making this up. This show existed!!

("Jennifer Slept Here," the other show in this promo, was no great shakes either, but compared to "Mr. Smith" it was Shakespeare...)

     I've never understood the popularity of this show; the "humor" is far too simplistic, suitable perhaps for a junior-high locker room....

I wish I could remember the name of this sitcom from the 80's. I saw this episode where the grandfather is criticizing the grandson's music. "In my day," he says "we had real singers like Frank Sinatra. He didn't need an image and used his real name, he didn't need to call himself Boy Frank, because everyone knew he was a boy, and most of all, he knew." If anybody knows the name of that show, let me know.

I also hated "My Two Dads." Terrible premise. "Hey little girl, your mom's dead but she slept two guys one of which may be your father." In the first episode the judge said "The father is geneticly incoherent." To which Paul Rieser looks at the other guy and says "That sounds like you." That was enough to make me turn the channel in disgust.
