Bad TV Shows

[Atmos Duality]

Like I said, the only choice as far as cable goes is the WWE. None of the companies I mentioned are on TV right now, so it's all internet.

Last I checked, TNA is on Spike (somehow) which is available through most cable packages.

If you feel like treading into precarious waters, I recommend Jersey Shore. Most people I know who have seen it wish it a thousand deaths upon a thunderbolt Zeus hated enough to never use. <3

I'm voting for this and everything like it and everything it has spawned. It's very existence fills me with angry words.

Hahahaha. Yes, many angry words!

Why don't you like the show though?

The very idea of it, first off it shows one of the aspects of human nature that's just stupid and douchey and secondly it glorifies it.

Bad things get good ratings. It's like a car crash I think. :X

Yeah I think that's why most people watch it, just in an ironic sense. Because then it can become quite funny but I'd rather it just faded into obscurity instead of becoming part of our culture.

It may be too late. I see so many shows like that pop up, I just don't bother with TV now as a result. >.>;

Which is why we must become Luddite's and destroy all the TVs. I just hope guidos and other people that make me despair for humanity look back at what they were like and change and help their children be better people...or else.

Are you going by this definition? I've heard that word before but have never really looked it up. It gets thrown at JS quite a lot though. xD

A sad pathetic excuse for a male; not necessarily of Italian descent, but most likely; usually native to the New York/New Jersey Tri-State area.

WARDROBE: tight zipper shirts, tracksuits, designer jeans, fuzzy kangol hats, tiny hoop earrings, fake gold chains, and related Euro-trash garb and tacky cheese-wear.

Well when I think guido I think of people who look like this:

Spoiler

Except more orange

And this is basically what Jersey Shore consists of.

But it's not the look that gets me, even if the look does look horrible it's just the way they act. Only caring about getting money, so they can buy clothes so they can sleep with "guido" chicks so they can brag to their mates and the cycle repeats and they occasionally do steroids and go work out.

Ohh my. Your picture is worse then the definition I found. I haven't ever seen anyone like that where I live... >.<

Are most or all of those examples in the picture true?

Luckily neither have I. They're like mythical creatures, I hear of them and see them on tv and in pictures but I've never seen one in the flesh.

Well this is the google image page for Guidos and guidettes [https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=google&aq=0&sugexp=chrome,mod%3D0&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=D1eJUPtz4ZDQBdnogZAE&biw=1366&bih=667&sei=EleJUK7RH6KV0QWTuoCABQ#um=1&hl=en&safe=off&tbm=isch&q=guidos+and+guidettes&revid=513242751&sa=X&ei=GleJUO3tK6mi0QXF4YG4BA&ved=0CHIQgxY&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=458482be30b99a3d&bpcl=35466521&biw=1366&bih=667]

Anything on the WB, where 8th rate actors go to find work. I've been sitting through Beauty and the Beast because I know a writer for the show and the acting is excruciating and makes Revolution look good in comparison (and miss wrinkle forehead seriously needs to brush up on her chops outside of wrinkling her forehead).

But seriously, I don't think any show on the air today is as bad as She's the Sheriff or Manimal. Or how about Baby Talk or, for a more recent example, Cavemen?

Wikipedia even has a category for these shows: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_television_series_notable_for_negative_reception

This makes me question if they even exist where I live. I'm not against people who do any of those things, but I would be super curious to find out why they do what they do. I'm an information sponge, I want to know!

Well unless you live in new jersey I doubt you'd see many. I'm not against it either, I just want to know if they're actually happy being the way they are, I'd be kinda sad if they changed themselves so much to be the way they are and they weren't actually happy...Also, yeah I'd love to know why they do it xD It's the weirdest fad I can think of.

I find most t.v. shows unbearable, except for one or two. I don't actually have 't.v.' cable, so that saves me from most of the shlock. I've run into a few sholckterpieces on Netflix, but usually just move on to something else.

I went to my Mother's house with my eldest sister for a week long visit. It's something we do maybe once or twice a year, if that. My sister and mother are HBO junkies. They will watch nearly anything that comes out on HBO. They made me sit and watch episode after episode of TrueBlood, and really, I thought it was absolutely awful; even though it seems to be popular.

I'm not sure whether it was the corny acting, Anna Paquins face, overuse of sex, or the fact that I have always hated how vampires are portrayed in most movies and t.v. shows. When the actors open their mouths in what's supposed to be a horrifying show of fang, it's just absolutely silly to me and is quite painful to watch over and over and over. Luckily, it was late enough in the evening for me to have a few drinks. I wouldn't say the show was 'better' after those drinks, just more tolerable to sit through.

spekaing of which...Ive seen very little of comunity...but what I did see was when they were in a retro RPG (animated completly) and it was fucking hilarious, because the jokes werent "durr hurr they are playing a game" the jokes were based on the nature of games AND charachters that were funny...I got them and it was funny because it required a deeper knowelege of games than "DERP! MARIO!"

I know this thread is about bad TV, but you NEED to watch more Community asap. It is fantastic, and it deserves much more people knowing about it and watching it then it does.

Anyway, in terms of bad TV, the UK has The Only Way Is Essex, as probably it's worst.

 

[Souplex]

There's always "Gossip Girl".
It was the low-point of television back in 07, we lost "Reaper" because of it.

 

[Justice Shades]

I can only imagine the hate towards The Big Bang Theory comes from people whose nerves have been struck. Learn to laugh about yourselves!

We've been laughing about Joey Tribiani for being dumb, George Costanza for being short, Ray Barone for being a mama's boy, Jack MacFarland for being faggy, Michael Scott for being a loser, Niles Crance for being a snob, Al Bundy for selling shoes, Cliff Clavin for making up stories.......

But God forbid we make fun of someone for being a Nerd.

Yup, the only reason someone could possibly dislike the Big Bang Theory is because it is such a hard-hitting and uncompromising show which strikes so devastatingly close to home.

Not, you know, the fact that it isn't funny.

 

[Relish in Chaos]

The Jeremy Kyle Show. Either the UK or the US version will do, but you can count on every episode featuring some absolute messes of human beings and retarded titles like ?I fucked my brother?s uncle and now I?m pregnant with his baby?.

And fuck The Only Way Is Essex. Fuck it to hell. Get your orange, caked-up faces off my television, you plastic motherfuckers.

 

[Nantucket_v1legacy]

Taco, my main man, have I ever steered you wrong before? Everybody knows if you want to watch Bad TV then you should see Nantucket!

It's a shame Manimal isn't on Netflix as that is soooo bad it's a classic. Or Automan... urgh Automan was so fun.

Just be sure you don't tap in Bonanza - we all know that is the greatest show on earth.

Knightrider and Air Wolf are both on Netflix and they are amazing (by my standards).

i didnt think another person in existence knew of manimal.

i raise you a patrick duffy in man from atlantis

I refer back to my original thread that got so little attention.
Manimal was awesome and I raise you that Patrick Duffy with another Patrick Duffy but with this one resurrecting in the shower. Dallas <3

There's tons of sitcoms that are just not funny and none of them is listed here. Because if a show is just not funny, you tend to just ignore it.
