Man, I don't even know where to begin with this.

1. The Muppet Babies - re: Saturday morning cartoons I was really into Photon, The Gummi Bears, Dungeons and Dragons, etc but this one came on afterwards and was slightly entertaining so me and my friend Greg who used to stay over weekends did watch it.

2. Growing Pains - sitcoms went from respectable to embarrassing quickly. I watched Family Ties and Diff'rent Strokes (sp?) and this had the same kind of feel but what was I watching? low grade humor the best bits being stuff involving a guy named "Boner".

3, Tribes - this was a crappy 90210 imitation that no one but me remembers.

4. Heathcliff - I have seen many many episodes of this probably made in Japan after school g rated cartoon.

I've never had to watch a full episode of anything with the Kardashians otherwise they'd be up there too.

Neighbours,

I stopped watching it in about 93 but until then was a hardcore fan tbh...in the holidays I'd watch the afternoon showing and the evening repeat. I guess it was probably crap but there was something about it that was so watchable

never got into HOME & AWAY, always seemed like a boring, too-cool-for-school version of NEIGHBOURS

I've never seen a soap opera I didn't hate. Most of the people my age were obsessed with Neighbours, Hollyoaks or whatever.

Hard to think of any, I tend not to watch shows if they're bad.

I guess "Gilligan's Island." It was OK when I was a kid but wow is it lame today.

"Family Guy" might count, I saw a few of those and was always deeply disappointed.

There was an anime series called "Wonder Egg Priority" that started out promising but then fell completely apart due to not being able to meet production schedules. I watched it to the end for review purposes.

Gabriel Knight

GAME OF THRONES. After seeing an entire episode dedicated to show a man's torture in extreme detail, and then an attempt to rape him, I asked myself "why the hell I'm still watching this crap?".

couple of friends who watch(ed) it religiously. I never laughed once. ditto SOUTH PARK

in fact apart from THE SIMPSONS in its classic era I've never found another cartoon aimed at (or at least conscious of) an adult audience that I find remotely funny

most of them are extremely naff, remember ELDORADO? I think even soap opera fans hated that one.

campy, but respectable


QuoteJerry Springer Show.

daytime tv is total cesspool. I'd argue that stuff like The View is worse than Springer, who at least acknowledged what he was

I remember Eldorado although I never watched it. I do recall all the fuss because the BBC sent so much money on it.

 think I saw maybe 1 or 2 episodes? no real recollection except it being complete arse

also confess to watching HOLLYOAKS at one stage, although I seem to recall being hungover whenever it was on so it wad probably saturday morning repeats. there were at least some nice girls in that though :)

I should have said "absolutely s**tty shows"

FatFreddysCat

In 1990, I watched the premiere of Steven Bochco's legendary bomb "Cop Rock" (the musical cop show!) because there had been so much hype surrounding it, and the premise was just too bizarre to ignore.

...needless to say, it was terrible. As far as I was concerned, that one episode was too many!

If memory serves Cop Rock got canned after only a month or two on the air.

I loved Cop Rock! Disappointed it was canceled.

Maury, Jerry Springer- all that junk. For some reason I like Steve Wilko.
All soap operas stink. I did catch DARK SHADOWS once in after while after school as a kid.
I never like BALLESTAR GALLACTICA, or any of the STAR TREK sequels. The Original series is still fantastic- I most have seen them all on reruns.
