Worst TV series ever...

[DodgyGeezer]

If we leave aside (IMO) obvious dross like 'reality' TV, game shows or soap operas what is the worst TV series ever? Seems like there'll be a LOT more choice than the diametrically opposed 'Best TV series ever'

I'll start the ball rolling - having heard so many great things about 'Mrs Browns' Boys I thought I'd give it a try - what absolute ste

Mrs Brown's Boys - Awful, but people actually watch it.

Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy - You have to watch it to see how bad it is.

3-2-1 - Yeah it was a game-show, but it deserves a mention for the riddles alone.

I'll try and think of more...

[Eric Mc]

The problem is that this is even more subjective than "the best".

Especially as we can't include reality TV or soaps.

[Voldemort]

Eldorado.

[Kuwahara]

Poor timing maybe but Friends….

Along with Triangle.

Crossroads. ( Entirely set in a Motel)
Howard’s Way: ( About a boat yard)
Brothers.: ( About a haulage business)
Onedin Line: About a shipping line...I think.

From the USA:Taxi.

NB: Mrs Browns Boys... the novelty soon wore off.
( series 1)... & as for the film.

A soap opera based exclusively on a North Sea ferry . What could go wrong with such a winning formula ?

Absolutely everything - “Triangle” BBC (81-83) .

[YorkshireStu]

The A-Team

[FourWheelDrift]

The not needed USA remake of Only Fools and Horses.

Yes, that is Christopher Lloyd



So bad it's been hidden for years.

As Del Boy might say.... “Crusty”.

As a kid I hated Some Mothers Do Have Them, but I suppoose its because I hate that kind of slapstick comedy

+1, utter unmitigated drivel featuring the same re hashed 'gags' in every episode

[budgie smuggler]

Big Top starring Amanda Holden.

Classic terrible beeb comedy. Even Tony Robinson and John Thomson were unable to raise a smile on it. Just really really crap and unfunny.

Peter Sellers was the initial choice.
Followed by Ronnie Barker, Norman Wisdom & David Jason.
( But DJ wasn’t seen as a big enough name... then)

I have to say, for TV that didn't require a lot of thought, Howard's Way and Triangle weren't that bad. They did last a few series.

More recently, and it apparently won awards and is back for more on Sunday is Vigil.

Crossroads went on forever... even died once & then came back.

Still remember some of their names:

Meg Richardson
David Hunter
Jill
Benny
The dark haired bird always smoking a fag.

Never even watched it as a kid, it was awful.

[Milkyway]

Benny: “Ooh... Miss Diane”
Sandy Richardson: Megs Son, in the wheelchair.
Amy Turtle: Kitchen / Cleaner.
Shooey McPhee: Scottish Chef
( Who can forget Megs leaving, waving from the QE2... no black cab for her)

Not forgetting the wooden acting, forgotten lines & wonky set.

Amy Turtle!

Sandy.

[Fastchas]

Definitely Mrs Brown's Boys. Gags are so telegraphed, it's awful. I question anyone's intelligence if they like it.
