Can you top this for a  ''WTF?!?! " series idea?

Yeah, that's definitely notoriously weird.

So was this:
COP ROCK (1990)
Only a pilot and 10 episodes were aired.  A cop show, but also a musical!  Too odd to ignore!
One episode in particular had a courtroom case with the judge, jury, and attorneys all breaking out in song over the defendant's guilt!

This was just a dumb, weirdo idea for a cartoon:
FISH POLICE (1992)
John Ritter plays a fish cop in an undersea 30's-style town.

The 90s had plenty of bad ideas in television.. I'm sure I could think of more.

^^ I remember there being lots of hype for "Cop Rock" prior to its premiere saying how "revolutionary" it was going to be. I never bothered with it at the time cuz it sounded ridiculous.

Years later, VH1 showed a marathon of the entire series one afternoon, so I tuned in out of morbid curiosity.  I think I bailed out before the first commercial break. It was even stupider than I'd imagined!

Here's an NBC promo from 1983 featuring three "WTF" shows in it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpRypwxjEPQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpRypwxjEPQ)

"Mr Smith," a short lived sitcom about a talking orangutan who served as an advisor to the US President
"Jennifer Slept Here," with Ann Jillian as the ghost of a dead movie star haunting her former home; and
"Manimal" with Simon MacCorkindale (of "Jaws 3") as a guy who could turn into animals.

All aired on the same night, apparently.

"Heil Honey!" was the first thing I thought of.

I was sad when "Cop Rock" was cancelled.  :bluesad:

I never saw it, but consider "Poochinski": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poochinski

Peter Boyle is a tough Chicago cop. He's killed in the line of duty and reincarnated as a "flaulent" bulldog. He continues solving crimes.

Review of Jennifer Slept Here. Says it's just another fantasy sitcom, like Bewitch or I Dream of Jeanie.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING (1979) - Jack Elam in a sitcom about a Frankenstein monster? I never watched the show, but the commercials for it looked awful. It disappeared quickly.

as much garbage tv as i've watched in my life, i've gotta tell y'all, the biggest WTF tv series i've ever  heard of doesn't start until next monday. it's called " living biblically". it's supposed to be a sitcom,and i've seen several commercials. the whole concept is.. just...i don't have the words to express my opinion of it right now.

If we're allowed to add pilots here's Steel Justice:

Steel Justice (Unsold TV Pilot) - Robosaurus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2p9Y8GqJ8p4#)

A cops dead son is brought back as a toy robot dinosaur, which can grow into a 40-foot Mecha-Godzilla wannabe. They actually built a 40-ft robot for this. Oh yeah, the robot's ability to grow comes from some-sort of ancient mysticism called the Gift. Apparently it's also how Stonehenge was built: http://jabootu.net/?p=7718 (http://jabootu.net/?p=7718)

And jabootu needs to fix those pictures.  :bluesad:

Joe Millionaire was so terrible I couldn't look away. Hey, let's film a bunch of women willing to 'ho out for a chance to hang with a millionaire, then, laugh at them when we reveal they been prostituting themselves to a broke construction worker!

Yeah, man, truly WTF.

I can't help thinking that if they were that cheap and shallow they deserved to end up with nothing.

How about Superstar USA: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superstar_USA

The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfieffer  a comedy about a slave working in the White House under PResident Lincoln.

I remember that one...
As I understood it, he wasn't a slave, he just happened to be a well educated & cultured free black man in the 1860s, which was supposed to be the joke, which is why the series wasn't wasn't particularly funny...

Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad.  A lonely kid creates monsters to send to a being who lives in the internet and attempts to take over the world.  But a kid in his high school gets sucked into the web and given a set of powers to fight the virus.

Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills.  A blob named Nimbar.  Title says it all.

There was a recent one about a kid who's father was (I pinky swear I am not making this up) a cartoon action here based on He Man.

Ah, yes. Son of Zorn. Read an animation article on it. Animation producer said it was NOT like He Man because his company put much more work into the animation. I think he missed the point; even with fuller animation it's still clear the show runner wanted a character like He Man.

This may be it:

Anybody remember the show Deadly games? 

A videogame designer created a game using himself as the basis of the hero and his (now-ex) girlfriend as the damsel in distress along with a bunch of ordinary people in like made into supervillain "Bosses" in the game. 

And then somehow they come to life and get loose in the real world so he has to get his ex-girlfriend to help him stop them all.  The man badguy was Christopher Llyod in a white Colonel Sanders looking suit.

Mercifully I either missed this or forgot it.

Hogan's Heroes

A comedy about a spy ring headed by prisoners in a Nazi POW camp is out there, even if it ran for a long time. Still funny tho.

Since we're listing pilots too:

I liked Deadly Games for the cheesey action sci-fi show it was.

Son of Zorn Ugggghhhhhh....file this under "Interesting Idea, Lousy End Product". 
I love movies/tv shows that combine live action and cell style animation.  Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Twilight of the Cockroaches  Even Space Jam and Cool World  too me aren't completely devoid of merit. 

So I wanted to see how this would go.  And it turned out to be a bad Family Guy rip-off.  Yuck.

There was someting of a mini trend of shows starring apes and monkeys in the late 70s/early 80s. BJ AND THE BEAR was about the only one that was remotely successful.

I actually watched a few episodes of the terrible MR. SMITH show, which was something about a wise-ass talking orangutan in Washington. I guess NBC had high hopes for it, since it got its own TV GUIDE cover story right before it flopped out of existence.

I also saw a few episode of the rotten ALL IN THE FAMILY spin-off called GLORIA. This one went way beyond beating a dead horse.

You know what, Joey? Life sucks and so did your show.

I think. Mel Brooks was involved.  Also it was a tv lite comedy version of stalag 17.
