Yesterday, I'm watching Jerry Springer (I know some of you guys too, admit it) and in the introduction, it was stated to be the "worsts show in television history".  Then, however, it goes on saying it's now on its twelfth season.  Then it got me thinking, with its constant nudity, cussing, and bad acting (?), could Jerry's show be the first ever b-rated talk show?  Think about it, a show that bad, and it's on for this long with the same routine, that has got to amount to something.

Also, what do you guys think is the worst show on tv, or cable that has been on for more than 4 season.  All I can think of is that Chris Eliott's "Get a life" , "Small Wonder", and, the king of bad TV, Married...with Children.

  I liked Get A Life, was it on for 4 seasons? I thought it was cancelled...quickly. Springer is pretty bad, and you were spot on about the quality of the acting. It's like pro-wrestling with a talk show setting. And, like pro-wrestling, there are those who swear it's real.
  Another bad daytime offering is the Maury Povich show. Nothing but trampy little girls being sent to boot-camp. Everyday the same show and it's lasted for I don't know how long.
  Some shows are good, but they go on too long. M*A*S*H, for instance was on for 12 years, 4 times longer than the actual Korean War. And you can tell a show has been on too long when they add a cute new character, usually a kid who is born one day, and is 5 years old the next week. It happened in My Three Sons, Happy Days, The Brady Bunch, Growing Pains...the list goes on. Hell, Happy Days got a cute kid, AND a friggin alien!! And then the alien got it's own show!

I allways hated Married With Children, but somehow it lasted for nearly ten year and over 200 episodes.

Another one I've never liked is a British programme called 'Last of The Summer Wine'.  It's about some elderly men and their antics & japes, set in the English countryside.  Main problem is that it's just not funny, and never has been. It's been going for 30 years now, longest running sitcom in British TV history. And it sucks.

I loved Married.  It was the perfect antidote to that awful show, The Cosby Show.
Dr. Who lasted for many, many years, constantly changing the lead character; what other show did that?

Satuday Night Live, which stopped being funny around the time that the original cast left the show.

V.I.P. -- Pamela couldn't even act her way out those ridiculously tight outfits she wears. The show deserved the boot the day it was conceived in the punishing mind of a network exec.

Get a Life was only on for two season (the second about half the length of the first) and Small Wonder was on for just 4 seasons.

Dark Angel was only on for two years.  I tried liking it, watched nearly every episode (except for the end).  It had an interesting premise, and was fairly bloddy, killing off characters left and right.  My problem wiht it, aside from the second season addition of the the dog boy (ok in itself, but the execution was bad), was that it tried too hard and too obiviously to be hip.  The girls were cool, the guys were all flawed at best if not outright jerks; the language was oh so hip street slang.  Oy!
