      What show, that you regularly watched as a kid, did you KNOW was crap, but you watched it anyhow? Shows that you HAD to watch because the Grone Folx controlled the tv don't count.

     For me, it was probably this....I have no excuse.

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

This one was head and shoulders above any other dumb kid show we watched.
Yes,I'm fine....as long as I don't look too closely.

Power Rangers.

I still do.

He said dumbest, not insanely awesome.  :teddyr:

As for myself I'd save to say The Super Mario Bros. Super Show.
Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite

Many people will call this dumb.  But I loved it.  Still do.  Bought the entire, glorious series from the 1960s on DVD.

When I was in college, I watched the then-current "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" cartoon religiously, even though I was well past the age when I should've been doing so. Would that count?

These are the dumbest shows you people watched? 

Wow.  You're lucky.  Most of these mentioned so far are actually pretty awesome.  If stuff like Voltron, Ernest, and Ninja Turtles are the worst I don't think my childhood brain could have handled what you considered the best. 

Me?  I watched a lot of really stupid stuff.  I lived in the country.  We didn't get many channels.  I can remember watching stuff like the Get Along Gang.  Good lord was that horrible.

LOST IN SPACE and LANCE LINK.
Sometimes, dumb is all ya need.
Ya ever wonder if the Jupiter 2 is related to a TARDIS? How else could they cram all that crap in there? The chariot alone takes up as much space as the top deck cabin!

Well, to be fair, "dumbest" isn't necessarily the same thing as "worst", at least not to me.
Oh, wow.  I completely forgot about THE GET-ALONG GANG.  And how about SHIRT TAILS?  How did we survive the 80s?   :buggedout: :bouncegiggle:

While I don't remember thinking it was horrible as a kid, looking back now, The Banana Splits was an awful mess:

I think almost any Hanna-Barbera show would fit here. Their animation was awful.

More in line with the original idea of the thread, I can't say I ever really liked The Brady Bunch, but I could identify any episode within seconds, no matter where I started watching it.

And I also admit to liking Lancelot Link.
