Dumbest Television Series Ever

AWESOME SHOW!!!!!!!!!!:applause:

 

Sine I never watch the bumb shows I never remember them. One I hate to see when changing channels is Bart Simpson.

 

:wavey: I like Touched by an Angel and the Brady Bunch.

One I never liked is M*A*S*H.:BangHead:

 

I watch MASH 4 times a day, every day and my wife bought me the DVD's so when they go off the air I can still get my daily dose. Why it's anti-american to not like MASH!

 

any and all "Judge" shows on during daytime TV, and most of what is shown on CNN.

 

I thoroughly despise M A S H. Unlike The Beverly Hillbillies or Gilligan's Island, it's setting is a historical den of daily death and blood in a foreign war. I don't mind silliness in entertainment, but there are limits to where I can consider puns, irreverance and mocking of rigid standards as funny. If you like MASH, maybe you'd like "When Mary Magdalene tTckled Jesus on the Cross," or similar things.

 

Project Runway is different in that the contestants are talented (professionals for the most part), they are judged on their creations rather than on their personalitites, fashion design is suitably visual for tv (unlike Top Chef where smell and taste are at least as important as looks), the judges are working professionals and they say what is right as well as what is wrong with the creations. I like that the prizes are appropriate for the contest. Also, Tim Gunn is pleasant.

I didn't realize until I saw it in reruns just how atrociously bad 'Dark Shadows' was - acting, writing and, most of all, production quality. 'The Brady Bunch' was much worse than 'The Partridge Family' and 'The Munsters' stunningly unfunny unlike its rival 'The Adams Family'.

 

Didn't they plan a show based on blending "Touched by an Angel" and "The Michael Jackson Story"? Something like "Touched by Michael Jackson"?

Yes, "I'm Bad!"

 

What's so funny about MASH is that the two doctors who the characters of Hawkeye and Trapper were based on were furious about the way they were portrayed in the show.

I recall reading an interview with one of them once where he revealed that they were very proud of their service and had a deep love and respect for the military. They weren't against the war, but in fact understood very clearly why it was so important that the UN stop the North Koreans from invading the South.

He said that when the book was written, it was made clear that it was not to be autobiographical and that's why they never complained about the drug use or fornication in the book or movie.

But when the TV show was beginning to air, they were told that it would be a very much sanitized version and were asked to do publicity tours for the show.

Once their names became attached to the show and the focus of the show became political speeches, that's when they decided to speak out.

One of the ironic things now is that Wayne Rogers, who player Trapper John, is now a staunch conservative Republican and appears regularly as a financial analyst on FOXNews.

 

Some of you Gilligan Fans might enjoy this one.

It has to be Will and Grace.

Everyone told me "You will LOVE this show". I watched 10 minutes of it and it made me sick to my stomach. Why would anyone want to watch a bunch of sodomites.

 

I think the opposite of that. I can still laugh at The Munsters, though I seldom watch it [which may be one reason; I'm not too familiar with it to know every word]. But I never found The Addams Family very funny-- they're snobs and it's all too repetitive. It seemed like in every ep, 3 or 4 times they pulled the hangman's noose, wherever they happened to be, and Lurch appeared instantly with his "Yyyouuuuu rrraaannggg?" Same thing with 'the thing' and "Ah! the mail's in"; again wherever they happened to be. And how many times can you laugh at Gomez hearing Elvira's (or whatever her name was) 'French' and start kissing up her arm uncontrollably.

Though I'm hardly the biggest fan of either show, I lke The Munsters better because it was more of spoof that had no pretention of seriousness, while the Addams Family was more of a satire with not-too-extraordinary eccentrics.

 

Actually, according to Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, there was a rather dark undertone to that show, the same as with The Newlywed Game.

Hope all is well, and sorry I am so late in responding to this - didn't see your comment,

Sports has to be the most empty and meaningless ongoing series on TV. Not that I watch TV anymore.

 

The answer has to be the Gong Show, which was funny. The worst science fiction has to be Lost in Space. Danger, Danger Will Robinson.

 

Touched by an Angel

That stupid show about the girl who sees Jesus all the time. It was so bad I don't remember the name of it.

The other stupid show about the Episcipal priest.

Pretty much anything made by Hollywood about religion.

I agree!!!!! I, personally, watch it whenever I can!!!

In my opinion, the dumbest TV series is a reality show called Who Want to Be a Hilton?

I don't!!!


:godisgood:

 

It was worth it to endure watching "Lost in Space" Just hear Robbie the Robot say those lines.
"Dark Shadows" a famous soap opera of the late 60's and early 70's was one that I thought was totally stupid.

 

So much bad television to choose from.

I could never tollerate more than a few minutes of Seinfeld.

 

I'm going through the Time Tunnel episodes via Netflix--the boys love 'em!
