I gotta go with Small Wonder. Unredeeming piece of shit.
Worst TV show of all time

Sad thing is, it was a coupled with Jack of All Trades, which I loved. I mean, how can you not like Bruce Fucking Campbell.

'My Family' from the BBC is so vapid laking any soul what so ever. It is so bad it belongs on the ITV.
I'm in New Zealand right now, and they have a soap-opera here called "Shortland Street". It is the most banal and idiotic show I have seen yetand worst of all, it on air pretty much constantly. There was even a story arc about a serial killer (the show is set in a cliched Hospital) where the actor playing it hammed it up to 11 for the cameras. The only saving grace of the series is the presence of Temuera Morrison, a.k.a Jango Fett of Star Wars fame.
Yep, gotta agree completely. I wonder how that crap has been on air for 16 years already, no one can act their way out of a piss-soaked paper bag on that show.

Used to be on ITV in the 90's after CITV.
- it came out before Firefly
- the CGI is roughly on par with B5's first season
- The premise is cool: Dante Montana's wife was killed and his son was kidnapped by raiders (cultish pirates pretty much) so he turns to hunting bounties with his niece Percy (orphaned by the same raider attack) and Lucretia Scott, a former marine and also the ship's AI Caravaggio. They work for Rudolpho DeLuna who owns their ship (a de-commissioned Trans-Utopian cruiseliner "Tulip") and the show is episodic in nature with the crew doing missions in the solar system and a running arc involving the 'Divinity Cluster' which is some sort of key to unlock superhuman abilities
- the acting is sup par (Tanya Allen is darn cute though, only reason I kept watching
)- the writing is dull
- it's just blah
I just think that the show didn't have the funding it needed to be as good as it could have been. Firefly has a pretty freakin' similar premise and it worked so well. The characters are even similar Mal takes after Dante, Kaylee after Percy, Zoe after Lucretia
anyway . . . yes the show is horrible, but I still love it and I'm not sorry I made a blind purchase
it just has a special quirkiness to it that I like
not to mention Murray Melvin as Caravaggio is a hoot
[edit]also, I've only seen the first season . . . I have no opinions on the second season
so yeah, it's not my pick for worst show ever, but it's nowhere near what I'd call good
my pick for worst show is: Knight Rider (2008)
Anyone remember this 1968 Stinker??
"The Ugliest Girl in Town"
"The Ugliest Girl in Town"
I'm not sure if it's the worst ever, but 7th Heaven was pretty damned awful. The whole Camden family was a cesspool of egotism, greed, deception, and general douchbaggery. But it's ok! Depsite all of this, they're great people because they're Christian. They are so wonderful even God himself choose to literally MIRACLE Eric Camden out of his bout with heart disease which would have been otherwise fatal. 
If there is a hell Full House and Family Matters are running on continuous loops there.
I think that's ABC Family.
Even ITV is that desperate for shows
I can't believe nobody's even mentioned Heil Honey, I'm Home! Possibly the strangest and dumbest idea ever to come out of a writer's room 
Watching it is the closest a man will come to experiencing childbirth.
Your Honour, esteemed jury, I present my evidence:

Heil Honey, I'm Home, part 1
Heil Honey, I'm Home, part 2
Other than that, the US version of Red Dwarf, and the UK version of That 70s Show called Days Like These *shudder*. And that really weird Australian soap Breakers. Mullets in the late 90s. Awful stuff. Honourable mention to Sunset Beach, Days of Our Lives and Melrose Place (when Five thought they were showing cutting edge TV)
There was an Australian drama airing on Channel 4 in the UK weekday lunchtimes which was pretty awful - does anyone remember that?
And I can't allow Shortland Street to be cast into the fires of hell... That show got me through revising my for GCSEs. The theme tune is unnaturally addictive.

And one of those mostly one room/one set ones, like CHEERS (which I never liked). I actually watched an episode a few months ago to remind myself how awful it was.
One I couldn't stand was ALL IN THE FAMILY. Even pre-cable, I couldn't leave the t.v. on that. Sally Struthers...*shudder*...the 70's decor...blech.
Really..... How could you not like the Cosby Show?
That's because shows that didn't have a full season of episodes (HHIH only aired one episode, and produced 8) were disqualified in the OP.I can't believe nobody's even mentioned Heil Honey, I'm Home! Possibly the strangest and dumbest idea ever to come out of a writer's room

Besides, if we were to argue based on the stuff that didn't get a full season, then personally I think Steel Justice takes the cake.
