Worst TV Shows

Worst TV Shows... How easy

Big Brother & Australian Idol

Whats yours?

 

[Manbearpig]

Hmm hard one. Its like asking best places you haven't been to.

I really don't like Rove, Australia's funniest home videos, Friends, Frasier and Everybody Loves Raymond.

But since I don't watch any of them, I'm really just assuming they're bad.

Agreed, agreed, agreed, agreed and agreed.

Also can't stand this new show, Californication. It reeks of blow-hard.

And I always walk out the room when I hear the music for Idol or BB.

1. Big Brother or any of its derivatives
2. Macleods Daughters

Get a job and you wont have to watch them...

Uni student and shift worker - regardless of whether or not I'm home to watch them, they're still the 5th worst show on the teev.

Scientific fact - more scientific that Dr Phil's qualifications.

Is alright, almost pr0n on tv. Its good for a laugh, can talk about woth mates and say, gee I cant believe " that guy didnt want to **** his missus, what an idiot"

BB is crap, Australian Idol everyone must be tone deaf on that show.

McLeod's Daughters lays all to waste.

A truly horrific show.

Tucker's Daughter > McLeod's Daughters

(And I hate that fcuking song.)

 

[Manbearpig]

I swear, Australian TV execs put almost no effort into thinking up ideas for TV shows.

Singing Bee, Dirty Jobs, Are You Smarter than a 5th graded and almost every other show idea are obviously all just stolen from the US.

Channel Seven poach Jamie Durie. I can almost see the meeting where they came up with an idea for a show... "I know, you've worked on backyards on TV, so why don't we do a show to find Australia's best backyards?" "Gold!"

Sounds a bit like Kramer's idea for a coffee table book about coffee tables.

 

[COOL-A-ROO]

Kath & Kim

Watched it for the first time on Sunday and waited for the much hyped laughs.



They didn't come. That show is tragically un-funny

This season is easily the least funniest.

It had its day a few years ago.

Peter Sellers said in the 1979 movie Being There "I like to watch (TV)". That's me.

I highlighted the bad ones that I watched once or twice. Most of the others I've never watched. I don't mind Home and Away. Fairly mindless, which is just what I need when I first get home from work. Anything Eddie's in I will say I hate and try to avoid watching at all costs.

That Mark Philipoussis dating show was pretty terrible and I hate those shows where they're hacking some poor bastard's stomach open (RPA??) or chopping her nose off (plastic surgery shows). Can't watch, have to read the paper.

I couldn't watch Dancing on Ice either. Someone was always just about to fall and hurt themselves.

I used to dislike Sam Waterson. He was the scrawny prosecutor in Law and Order. A real smug smart arse. He'd be prosecuting a serial killer of children and I'd be hoping the guy would get off so Waterson would lose his job.

Agree with Kath and Kim too. It's Krap. Best watched on an aircraft, when you think, oh well watching this is better than crashing. I think I need to visit a psychiatrist.

Hardly pr0n, and hardly anything that hasn't been done before. Really, if Duchovny wasn't attached to this it wouldn't have seen the light of day. The writing is terrible, the acting is terrible, the 'sex' scenes are barely tittilating.

Expect this to be axed before the end of the season.

 

[Bowski]

I second the wedge.easilt the worst of all time throw in the majority of cookie cutter american sitcoms.According to Jim,Stand by me(or something like that),grounded for life,that 70's show,that 80's show. heaps more but those are the worst.

 

[Manbearpig]

Three words:

Yasmin's Getting Married.

I heard it the other day. Hasn't aged well.

Mossy was being interviewed and mentioned how frustrated he got when people claimed Don Walker wrote the song for him.

Mossy said "I wrote the music and the main hook line - 'build me up / tear me down'. Don just filled in the lyrics from there."

My question would have been "so are you boasting that you paid someone to write "slap my kneebones to the ground??"

 

[roobear]

Friends was actually quite good for a couple of seasons.
I used to get into BB but the novelty has definitely worn off.

Also, I LOVED the Singing Bee. But don't tell anyone.

 

[Lidge]

IMy question would have been "so are you boasting that you paid someone to write "slap my kneebones to the ground??"

Zing!

And Ian Moss without a shadow of a doubt is responsible for the worst & most embarrassing live performance I have ever seen (and I admit to paying cash to see The Hooters at Festival Hall).

Rockalonga (Yarrawonga's bi-annual version of the Peaches & Cream Festival). INXS were the headliners, Diesel, Baby Animals & Ian Moss.

Mossy did was into the 3rd song of his set which happened to be a self induced encore of Tuckers Daughter. Violently pelted with a variety of full cans and booed off stage. Diesel came out on stage and tried to defuse the situation, but that was all over red rover. The punters refused 2 attempts of Moss to return to the stage.

And BTW - Michael Hutchence was elegantly wasted that night. Busted his ankle falling off the stage that night during the 2nd song. Too his credit, he had another hit or a few lines, plonked himself on a stool and performed for another 90 minutes.

 

[The Other Dean]

Zing!

Zing indeed.

Beautifully played, roobear.

 

[The Other Dean]

...and I admit to paying cash to see The Hooters at Festival Hall....

See, whereas I probably wouldn't.

I also probably wouldn't even be at The Hooters show in the first place, but I digress.....

(Liked the Mossy story though, Lidge. Sounds like he got back a little of what he clearly deserved for having a hand in writing that abomination of a song.)
