Bad TV Shows

[PsychicTaco115]

Hey Escapists, PsychicTaco here

I'm doing riffs with a friend and we need horrible TV shows to do it with. It'd be helpful if it's not something brand new that's available on Netflix

So, what bad TV show suggestions do YOU, the viewer, have?

EDIT: A group has been made, so please direct all suggestions there for now:http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Taco-TV-Riffs

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Well, Glee is always a safe option to "hate". You'll probably see a few "Big bang theory" posts. I never was a fan of "Freaks and Geeks".


There's also this list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_television_series_notable_for_negative_reception


Although, if you want truly ridiculous concepts, check "From Gs to Gents". I loved that show for being so bad.

Tom what were you thinking!?!

I never found Glee that bad. I was never a huge fan of what I tried, but it's sort of harmless in its existence.

OT: I can't think of any shows, but try to avoid sitcoms and the like. Though they may be generally unfunny, it's hard to make fun of something that isn't taking itself seriously. Try to find something that thinks it's more than it is, like The Secret Life Of The American Teenager.

Dude. Watch 16 and Pregnant. You will laugh your ass off at the pure stupidity of it.

 

[Dr Pussymagnet]

Big Bang Theory would probably be a good choice.

BBT isn't BAD tv, sure it's not to everones taste but seriously, you want bad read this:

Laughably bad?
I don't know, but the other day I watched forensics show called Body of Proof and there was some sort of epidemic or something and there were sick people dying and stuff, but it turns out the CDC had an experimental vaccine which they proceeded to use to heal the sick people, which not only worked it healed them immediately, because you know that's totally how vaccines work.

Maybe I'm just silly but I'm pretty sure that if a show about medicine, well it's forensics but forensics medicine doesn't know what vaccines are, it probably has a lot of other stupid shit to make fun of, or maybe I'm just silly, because that really bothers me.

For riffing?
Either major Pro-Wrestling show is a good choice, since they operate on moon logic.
Moon logic with brain damage.

Terra Nova. Honestly, I'm still amazed how much they messed up that show. I watch a lot of tv shows and usually just don't watch if it's bad but this... this was something else. One episode my girlfriend and I decided to do a drinking game, having to drink every time we managed to correctly guess what would happen next.

Halfway through we were out of booze...

My stupid Youngest Brother likes a dumb Fake Anime from France called "Code Lyoko". It's really bad. I think it would be perfect for your Riff show, at least one episode of it.

Holy crap, I remember that show...

So weird

OOC: Would it be alright if I spoilered the riff I did for an example?

I promise not to shamelessly plug myself!

The original Power Rangers is so cheesy that it's amazing.

Or, if you're looking for a show that is just fundamentally awful, there's a gigantic catalog of reality shows out there. Flavor of the month seems to be Honey Boo Boo.

 

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

Every time I watch an episode I get constipated. I love it.

 

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

I love this. I love this so much.

I don't really hate the big bang theory, I'm infact neutural towards it, but I hate how it so deeply drives stereotypes of nerd culture. The very rare funny culture reference isn't worth it to me.

It's not on Netflix, but this thread can't go on without the mentioning of Viva Laughlin. Just watch this clip.

 

[NinjaDeathSlap]

I would say Paris Hilton's New Best Friend Forever, but then I'd feel guilty about reminding people of its existence.

 

[Wayneguard]

I won't say it was "terrible" but season 2 of the walking dead certainly was disappointing. Season 3 has been goddamn fantastic so far though.

Well, Glee is always a safe option to "hate".

I never found Glee that bad. I was never a huge fan of what I tried, but it's sort of harmless in its existence.

I never really cared for the show, but I do know that some people hate it because it pretty much views race, gender, and sexual orientation as a check list. Everyone ends up represented and that determines what the characters are like.

I know some people are going to say Honey Boo Boo, but I must protest: It's not that bad. They're incredibly dumb. Every time I see them two things pop into my mind: why am I going to college when these people are famous? And I'm going to college so I don't end up like these people. It's kind of a circular way of thinking.
I also love how the mother's eyes are half rolled back in her head like she's suffering from a continuous stroke.
They're genuine people, though, which is more than you can say about most reality shows.

Dance Moms on the other hand...
These people are the worst, most vile people on Earth. They make the Youtube comments section look like a non-confrontational church forum.
