 The Worst Show on Network Television is?
In your opinion, what is the single worst television show on Network Television?
My vote is Related. I've never seen such a shrill, annoying, and poorly written creation in such a long time. The characters all whine incessantly. I watched the first two episodes and felt like my head was going to explode.

Out of Practice. Not counting Fox, WB and UPN.

That's my favorite new show of the season...
And... definitely Supernatural. That show is so boring.

To each their own. I've never seen Supernatural so I wouldn't know if it is bad.

Will & Grace. I know there's some fans of the show here, and I liked the show in the first two or three seasons, but the comedy is so obnoxious. The characters (mainly Karen) are so incredibly over-the-top, I find it hard to watch. And I don't know what they feed those studio audiences, but it seems every second joke gets HUGE laughter and applause. To be honest, it's mostly all recent "laugh-track" comedies that I can't stomach. Seinfeld and Friends were the last really good ones. It's refreshing to watch single-camera comedies that don't require a laugh track or studio audience to tell us when to laugh.

I hate how Arrested Development is so unlike that beast One Tree Hill show. All shows should aspire to be like that or get canceled immediately.
Anyway.

I can't say for sure, but I bet it's one of the many UPN comedies that nobody watches.

There's too many to choose from, I'm hesitant on choosing right now, because I haven't seen Fox's lineup yet for tonight...

The War at Home and American Dad is a tie for me or actually any sitcom that still uses fake audience laugh by today's standards. I would also include the Family Guy in there too

Thank god I'm not the only one who detests Family Guy and American Dad. McFarlane is no Groening, that's for sure.

I don't know, there are a lot I don't watch because they look so stupid. But I did see the first episode of STACKED and that sucked, so I'll say that. And THE O.C. I kind of despise too. Oh wait, I have it, 7TH HEAVEN! Oh man is that show retarded! It's just so lame!

7th Heaven is awful. I know this is not network television, but The Andy Milonakis Show is AWFUL.

I honestly just can't stand the show one bit. I've watched one full episode near the beginning of the series, tryed another later on, then tried one more. The last two I changed after a few minutes in. I didn't laugh once through the whole thing, I didn't even smile. I just don't understand the hype with it. For one, its the ugliest show in the history of television. I mean I understand they do that on purpose, but its so cheap and annoying. For two, the jokes fall flat. I'm sorry, but the mom saying "Oh thats what they're born for" referring to the foreign maid just doesn't turn my crank. Either does Porti de Rossi spinning around in circles like an idiot. Or the one part where Micheal and his son are driving and they stopped by the cops, and his son sits on his lap when the cop comes. I'm sorry, what? I don't understand.
To each his own I guess. I just can't stand it. Ugly + IMO the jokes try too hard, and all flat on their face = Ugh.

The sad part is though, while this message board is overwhemingly pro-AD, it seems that America widely agrees with me.
...Even if I do have bad taste.
