70s television is almost cheating in this thread.
2 Broke Girls is the worst of modern TV. There is no comedic depth to it. There are early 90s stereotypes throughout. Whitney Cummings is a total hackfest.

The legit worst ones are difficult to remember. Used to watch a lot of TV land around 99-00, most of them 70s shows were likable enough (Threes Company, etc), but Mamas Family was just terrible.

I will say the first few season of the Walking Dead weren't terrible or anything, but my girlfriend refuses to give up on it, so I have seen a lot of season 6 and I can't tell if they are being serious or if the writers are just loving with fans for amusement?

Bad effects, bad plots, major change from the comic book, it ran way too long. I mean, it ran for YEARS on WGN. At least Beastmaster had some charm to it.

I just remembered Baby Bob

quote:

Baby Bob is an American sitcom that launched on CBS as a midseason replacement in March 2002. The Baby Bob character had previously been on television since February 2000, appearing in commercials for FreeInternet.com.[1] While actual infants played Bob, the effect to make him look like he was talking was achieved through computer editing.

The Ren and Stimpy Adult Party cartoon. This is the M-rated adaptation of a show for children. Only three episodes of its six episodes were aired.

I genuinely envy anyone who thinks that some boring-rear end sitcom is the worst they've been subjected to. Those writers didn't care. The writers of Allen Gregory did care, and that made it worse.

There is a show about an interracial lesbian foster family (1 moms a cop and 1 is an artist I think) that really goes over the top to cram in every possible group. Rosie O'Donnell even makes regular appearances to drop folksy lesbian wisdom on the kids, almost like Wilson from Home Improvement.

Reality TV is definitely the worst, but is really a genre more than a show.

In terms of terrible shows:

Joanie Loves Chachi
The Ropers
The Herculoids
Knight Rider

My brain almost completely purged this from my memory. Holy poo poo was it awful. I knew it was going to be bad when I saw the fox previews for it, and holy poo poo was it ever affirmed when I heard that fuckup Jonah Hill's voice.

Rosie O'Donnell gets paid American dollars to be on shows and, afterwards, someone goes down on her.

It's odd because there are other really bad adult-oriented animated shows (e.g. Brickleberry, or Father of the Pride, or Tripping The Rift) and none of them can complete with Allen Gregory's terribleness.
