Worst Television Show

El Moose Monstero · Post by **El Moose Monstero** » 2003-07-27 01:36pm

Yep, Dead Famous was pretty entertaining, I watched a little of the first series of Big Brother, and then gave up on it, didnt find it particularly entertaining stuff - havent touched it since then.

The worst program on TV?

Not sure, probably quite a lot of quiz shows on ITV and BBC qualify, any of the clip shows such as Animals from Hell or such like, but one thing that cheesed me off immensely over the past few months was 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here'.

Won't mean much on the other side of the pond, I'm sure, but it was one of the most annoying programmes ever - Ant and Dec, possibily the biggest embarrassments to the North East (in my book, anyway), sitting being two-faced bastards, being all nicey-nicey to a group of b-list whining celebrities and then sneering at them behind their back with a presenting ability of a two-week dead scorpion. It was probably one of the worst programmes I have seen in a long time.

Worst TV show has got to be some British sitcom. Are You Being Served? and Absolutely Fabulous come to mind readily. Fawlty Towers was pretty horrific as well.

Those are some pretty well-loved shows to be knocking, Mr. Treder. Not that I love them, however.

Television is so bad generally it's hard to pick something. I mean how do you pick one inane sitcom over another?
Personally, I Love Lucy drives me nuts, it leaves me gibbering in horror......

OMG I used to watch that show. Funny, it was, but just a PowerRangers clone...

Yeah, when I was five or six I was a huge fan of those types of shows. IIRC, they used the Power Rangers to introduce some new show, with some grey, alien dude, and then they used him to introduce the Beetleborgs.

Only the Power Rangers has survived, but in a completely unrecognizable form.

EDIT: And, quite possibly, with a lower budget, which is hard to believe.

I spent the last few days reading Dead Famous by Ben Elton. Far better.

Pity the producers of Big Brother didn't.

Preferably last year, when they has a chance to shove a kitchen knife through Jade's head, and reduce the sheer amout of ugly in the world.

Dragon Ball Z, pretty bad, I kind of like watching Justice League and it comes right after. Then, Catoon network calls it "The best show on the planet" I woudl prefer to believe they smoke something whenever they watch that show.

The 700 Club is the only show that makes my eyes hurt to watch. Most craptastic replacements on Scifi for good shows like Farscape and Invisible Man (Before they brought in the porn star), most network TV, and wrestling I hate, too.

Heretic! Fawlty Towers is absolutely hilarious, personal preference of course, but it is absolutely hilarious at times, I spent most of one episode in stitches when they repeated them during Wimbledon. I think its mainly about the reaction of John Cleese, maybe it's a British seaside resort thing...

Power Rangers, in turn, was an Ultraman clone....

Are you being served i'll concede but Fawlty Towers? Are you quite mad. It had John Cleese and a Spanish waiter.

*hurries off to prepare a stake surrounded with logs and kindeling*

I'm stil sticking with reality TV. If i want real life i'll look out my window.

The only Reality show I ever really like was Trigger Happy TV, and since they went to america and Don Joly got fat, it's just gone downhill.

Reality TV can bite my ass.

Lord Pounder · Post by **Lord Pounder** » 2003-07-28 04:29pm

I never considered Trigger Happy TV reality TV. I consider it a sketch show. I remember the early days when Mr Jolly was filling in the gaps between adverts on the Paramount Channel. The Mobile Man always gets me. Anytime i hear the "Nokia" ringtone i always shout "HELLO!!" as a natural reaction. It's had me threw off a few buses in my time.

Indeed, most of the adults I know that watch that show light up while doing so.
