I'd assume we're defining bad as something with some effort and expense put into it. Reality shows barely count since they're a perpetual fountain of free poo poo to exploit.
I believe this survived a whole 2 episodes. I think I saw one; it felt like cocaine being basted in my face:

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
I hate all sitcoms that are all pleasantville but serious. Leave It To Beaver, The Andy Griffith Show, hell, even I Love Lucy though it's a little more off-color.

I just hate the reality those shows try to sell. That 50s and 60s version of Americana gives me a horrible case of the stepford wives chills. So yeah, gently caress that kind of show. I'd rather be stuck in MASH reruns hell for all eternity than watch a single minute of that black and white 50s nightmare world garbage.

Lexx is the worst sci fi show tho. Red Dwarf is the second worst.

Adult Swim makes and has made a couple of amazing shows (Venture Bros. Rick and Morty, Harvey Birdman, Sealab, to name my favorites) but it also makes a lot of really bland poo poo thats either so caught up in itself that it forgets to be funny or it's just "Art humor" or anti-humor like the meme-tastic "Too many cooks" poo poo .

Atlanta needs to get better vice detectives

Also home movies is a great show and probably still the best thing to come out of adult swim

Anyway sitcoms of the 80s and 90s are so bad I honestly can't believe they were produced, see: Belvedere, Mr. HOUSE, full

You aren't even scratching the poo poo surface of the poo poo mountain that is 80s television. Mr. Belvedere is goddamn Shakespeare compared to Small Wonder.

I've always managed to avoid it, bar clips saying how great it is that the only comedy the BBC bothers making are lovely 70s throwbacks.

I once caught the last few minutes of Miranda on a tv in a bar (no idea why), and even without the sound it was awful. I'm pretty sure they did that whole thing of the cast waving as their name went up in the end credits. Horrendous.

I know I've never seen anything as bad as the last season (or three) of Dexter. Is.. is there really something worse than that? :ohdear:

Heroes Season 3 and American Horror Story Season 3 are both some of the most what the gently caress terrible train wrecks you will ever see.

Though honestly they're both so loving horrible I can't begin to say they're the worst thing ever. They're so bad they are fascinating.

i dont really agree with this critique but compare it to a show like mr robot that does the same thing you're accusing fargo of except it isn't interesting or good or entertaining in any way.

PS. i forgot worst TV show ever is actually walking dead like dude above pointed out

Heroes - Started well, nose-dived at the end of the first season, continued boring to the centre of the Earth.

The Walking Dead - NO REALLY IT'S GOOD NOW BECAUSE O;H JO;E JOGARE GJOAER GPOJARAJORGAJROG Shut up and accept you like dreadful shite you stupid gently caress.

Two and a Half Men - Comedies are supposed to be funny.
