Must Barf TV
I'm a big fan of Television Without Pity that I'll even read the recaps when I don't watch the show. They're a powerful force. They actually got me to start watching "Veronica Mars," a show I initially ignored because the minute I saw the previews I thought, "Look! It's Buffy! Without the vampires!" And didn't watch it. But then I'm hard on all those WB/UPN teen dramas as I never watched them. I just made fun of them. Like "Dawson's Creek" with it's six-year-olds who spoke like they just graduated from Vassar.
It was because I enjoy reading the recaps on Television Without Pity's site that I actually tried to watch an episode of "Britney and Kevin: Chaotic" just for the hell of it. They made it sound so horrible and funny, but GOOD LORD that's unwatchable! I lasted five minutes looking up Britney Spears' nose at that unwashed mass that is herself and Kevin Federline (not-so-fresh from LA by the way of Fresno! Thanks, Fresno! You must be proud.) It was like an STD came to life and got it's own TV show.
I haven't seen anything this abhorrent on television since "Coupling (The British "Friends" clone, that we cloned for a bad sitcom.)" Or perhaps "It's Like You Know ..."
Or that show where Kramer played the detective.
What TV show made you question if life was worth living? Was it that show with the Ewoks? Or "Cheaters?" For you, what were some of the top worst TV you witnessed?
I call "Family Matters!" Every time you had to learn "the moral of the show" they played that stupid ass music. And it had Urkle. Go! Go!
Oh, and a demerit if you say "Jerry Springer" as everyone knows that show is horrible including Jerry himself and he thus advertises the bottom-feeding slugfest accordingly.
Now go!

David Lollar e-mailed me and nominated this watershed moment in bad television:
"Regarding the current blog, I've got one that made me almost slit my throat with my fingernails: COP ROCK. Remember that in the 80s? Basically, it was "Law & Order: the musical." No one wanted that, and the irony is, in the real Law and Order, where they don't sing, Jerry Orbach (an old Broadway hoofer) was one of the leads!"
