Jerry Springer and Passions. Some things are so bad they are laughable and therefore have some amount of enjoyment value, but not these two. And Touched by an Angel. Something about Della Reese (who I love as a vocalist) in that show just makes me angry.
Worst TV Show Ever

They should have stayed in retirement...
Jerry Stiller (the guy who played George's Dad) is on "King of Queens" but he plays very much the same character as he did on Seinfeld.
Pyro the (teleparabolic) Pig.
Yes. Each was a one shot deal; they fit in well on Seinfeld but they don't seem to have the range to do anything else.Beef Wellington said:

worst episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm
Slightly off-topic.
I actually enjoy watching Curb Your Enthusiasm, the show that stars Larry David (the inspiration for the George Kastanza character on Seinfeld).
There was one episode that irked me, though. Larry is referred by a friend to a masseuse who has been giving his friend fabulous massages. The massage is going great and she is almost done. Then she asks him (and he's so relaxed by then that he seems barely conscious), "Would you like me to finish you off?". Larry replies, "Sure".
She reaches under the towel (Heaven forbid they actually show Larry's dick --- and this is an HBO program!) and we see a back and forth motion of her arm. Suddenly, Larry realizes just what "finishing him off" means, his eyes pop open, his face expresses extreme shock and he demands that she stop -- right now. The rest of the episode has him rationalizing that he didn't know that she was that kind of masseuse and he did ask her to stop after about 20 strokes.
Now, does anyone besides myself, find utterly ridiculous the notion that a guy would go to a MPA (even an indie) and not come to realize what type of special services she offers? Besides, in my own (limited) experience, you can kind of clue in by the way she massages you while you're lying on your front --- before she asks you to turn over and lie on your back so she can massage your front side, as well.
The only other time I can remember watching something about massage that made me go "not bloody likely" was when watching the Canadian-made film "Rub N Tug". Sure, they got certain things right, but the part where the guy is offered full service when he didn't ask for it? And then he says no? And then he gets mad at the manager and tells him he's calling the cops on the MP?

ESPN - come on...sure, they show the professional sports, but the cheerleading competitions? darts? SPELLING BEES?!?!
Sme good ones I totally forgot about
Good list!
Especially Tiny Talent Time.
Does anyone remember the name of that show with the Guy with the perfect hair driving around a hot car that talked to him?
I think that popular concept of "secret double" which was copied everywhere was born here - i.e. Evil look-alike does bad things and you get blamed.
I try to use that excuse in real life! Haha
THE WORST SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY FUCKING LIFE:
Hamtaro pardon the spelling - it is a kids show - cartoons about hamsters and it originates in Japan. My kid used to watch it until I laid the law down.

This was the one that poped into my head too.milehigh said:
I heard they were making a new version of this show!
In the 1970s, just after Charlie's Angels and Three's Company had become hits, ABC had a sitcom starring a former Playmate who was one of Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfriends, 'Barbie' someone - a brunette, I can't be bothered to look up her name or the name of the show. It had to be the worst thing any major US network has ever had on its primetime schedule.
I hated Davey And Goliath too. The 'Gravy And Jobriath' parody that Ned Flanders and his sons were watching on The Simpsons was great. 'Gravy' was making a pipe bomb to blow up Planned Parenthood.

It was Barbie Benton, I don't remember the show.
Now my contribution: FRONT PAGE CHALLENGE.
Easily the biggest Canadian Borefest ever. I'd like to meet Pierre Burton just to tell him he's not the greatest thing since maple syrup, just more sap.

How about "Sketches of our Town"?
It was a show about various towns in Ontario. I almost had to stab myself in the eye with a fork after the first 3 minutes. No word of a lie, I watched this show at a friend's house in the country - on his kitchen wall was a picture of his father, holding a chainsaw. I think that basically describes the demographics for that one.
Also, anything with the Olsen Twins.

Do you know that raw has the highest ratings on tsn. More people watch raw than any other sporting event on tsn.Crazy Canuck said:
What I would like to know is how can people watch the 'Price is Right'? The same f**king thing show after show year after year. Makes you wonder how brain dead our society really is.
Some I forgot
Good God
I forgot about Daveeeeeeeyyyyyyy and Goliath and Hammy Hamster.
AT least the Price is Right had some good looking babes.
My Son will be pissed off the Olsen Twins are dissed.... he is in love with them and Avril Lavigne and Pam Anderson.
