What is the worst TV show ever created?

Nothing more annoying than being in shared accommodation with one television and having to endure this, and the Graham Norton right after where he would talk about it.

Man with a Plan wasn't much better.

There's a lot of bad TV, not sure I could pick what I think is the actual worst...

I've not come across a "reality TV show" I like, but we'll use Love Island as a template.

I suffered a fair chunk of it in 2019. Fair enough, it's a vapid viewing and that might suit people who want to just look at attractive people, but I can't stand that overly-fabricated way of talking that exists in it. "My type on paper" "Can I grab you for a chat". I know it's scripted to an extent, or very shrewdly edited, but the fact they never seem to deviate from the same set of terms, where hundreds of alternatives exist just highlights how fake it all is.

I don't care of a lot of modern sitcoms.

I've never watched a full episode of Big Bang Theory, but seen 5 minute stints here and there and it just seems obnoxious. The stereotypes are just lazy, not funny.

The I-Land, on Netflix.

F*cking awful stuff. Derivitive to the level of an secondary school student's English "creative writing". And worse on all fronts. Woeful acting, terrible dialogue, poorly executed concept

ChannelNo5

Two Broke Girls - Bad acting... Horrible

King of queens - Horrible, selfish characters.

Tipping Point .....a quiz show designed around an arcade coin pusher game.

Its a pointless thread. There are literally thousands of english language shows alone that have failed to attract an audience or been critically panned and we could all pick probably a hundred from memory that were rubbish, based on our personal tastes.

The best 10 TV shows of all time could be debated for hours, but its a waste of time debating the worst 10 ever, because a thousand people will give you a thousand different answers and most people won't have been aware of or watched crap content anyway.

Ah now, I really like King of Queens. I think the actors probably help it a lot.

That was just a brutal idea on behalf of Brendan and co.

you can’t take a group characters from a sitcom like Mrs Browns Boys and install them as talk show hosts…makes zero sense… BBC and producers should have known better.

stank of O’Carroll just trying to flog the MBB franchise and squeeze every drop of revenue from it. TV show, films, live theatre show, panto…. Chat show…. NO !

anytime I saw snippets it was car crash TV…. His own crew seemed uncomfortable, unsure if they were to be playing the characters from the show or themselves… often they did neither….or some weird in between hybrid which was confusing…

El Dorado.

Ran out of friends unloved and forgotten, abandoned by the BBC.

Thoroughly agree. Sexist, offensive and unfunny.

The British "That 70s Show" is worse.

I can't tell if the camera work and acting are terrible on purpose to look 70s or not.

Fittest family surely comes from a long line of Kripton Factor type shows rather than reality TV.

It needs a healthy UK music scene and a presenter who is well imbedded in that scene but not a lick ars to it.

It worked with Lamaar then got sht but peaked again with Amstell ripping into the "Arctic Monkeys" generation till that faded out.

It serves no purpose these days.

Let's Pretend, the early eighties kids show.

Its basic idea was, we have absolutely no money for props or stages or anything really. Let's pretend this sock on my hand is a snake. Oooh, scary snake.

I was really really young, as it was aimed at that age group but even at that inncoent age I knew it was a scam.

It was of it’s time. A lot of the humour innocent but a lot it treading a line,…

there was some stuff in early Only Fools and Horses series that wouldn’t get past the ofcom lads these days. The word Paki is used several times…Brendan the Irish character that appears in one episode is a racial send up….Same even for Fr. Ted… would Blazing Saddles have been made without a few rewrites ? The sheriff is a… scene would not have touched celluloid.

The Jeremy Kyle Show. Classist shite fronted by the world's biggest self-righteous knob.

Good shout.

Looking at his CV literally everything he’s done outside of the the JK show absolutely tanked….seems like an arsehole.

Tipping Point is an entertaining and vital component of the Tipping Point-Pointless-The Chase late afternoon quiz lineup.

'Naked attraction' has to be some sort of low point in the culture of humanity.

Usually a low production British show gets ruined by a shiny Hollywood makeover but the reverse is even worse.

Tipping Point - What I never understood was the need for an "action replay" of one of the slowest moving drops of all time. You can literally count the coins as they drop ffs!

Fair City.. its really quite something. Its embarrassingly bad.

Cluedo Monopoly

Fair City

Fear Ciarrai

Pointless, well it's the most appropriately named show ever. Try to guess what other people didn't guess!

Last Man Standing... Tim Allen. Think Fox news and Tucker Carson and you get the idea. It was axed here after about 5 shows and axed everywhere else before the end of series one. Although survived in the states for 6 seasons!

Worse than that, it ran for 9 seasons in total.
