I wish. My folks used to watch that crap. Luckily I had a crappy B&W portable for my Acorn Electron computer. With a bit of luck and a coathanger, I could watch TV too. I'm surprised the character never got arrested, as soon as she checked into a hotel, someone got whacked. If I saw her in reception, I'd get the F! out of there, before there was a chalk outline around me.
I'm leaning towards a split-decision between Automan and Manimal. Even at the tender age of 10 years old, I realized that these shows stunk. (Yet I remember them to this day, and not, for example, calculus...WAY TO PRIORITIZE, STUPID BRAIN!!)
Identifying the worst TV show in history is like trying to identify a specific grain of sand on a beach.
Teller never speaks on camera or on stage. That's his schtick in their magic act (and elsewhere). He's like Harpo Marx, but he's really the better of the two at actually performing the magic tricks.
Numberwang was a brilliant piss-take of daytime TV quiz shows - incomprehensibly stupid rules and totally disinterested presenters. And I loved the German edition - I saw the "Great Escape" reference coming before they actually did it.
The first thing that popped into my head when I say thing thread title was "Small Wonder". I was fairly young when this was on and even then I could recognise just how bad it was.
From the US: Frasier. Pompous, gentle, unfunny crap. From the UK: Anything with Ricky Gervais in it. One-trick pony that wasn't funny to begin with. There's plenty of others but I have a hangover and I'm just killing time in an internet cafe whilst my girlfriend shops for shoes or bags or some such shit.
You're right. 'Extras' was a steaming pile of poo. The Office was funnly, but as a piss take on documentary style TV, I prefered People Like Us
I liked extras way way more than the office and I liked the office. Series two of extras was just another level to all gervais work which preceeded it. David bowie episode was unbelievably good. The song he broke into, my god. Arguably the best thing ever, and yes "thing" is purposefully that vague, that's how good it was. Fraggle saying seinfeld is the worst show ever was the worst post ever from fraggle. Seinfeld is the best sitcom ever by a country mile. I hate jews and new york with two seperate passions, but that is how good seinfeld was, it still somehow managed to be flawless despite it's readily apparent flaws. And the amazing thing is, every one of the actors has since proven to be somewhere between not that funny and downright pathetically unfunny, including jerry himself (who is not that funny, michael richards is pathetically unfunny ofcourse). Larry David is funny, and he made everyone funny, and he continues to make unfunny people extremely funny on curb your enthusiasm, he is a true genius of our time. And a jew, but that's not in any way contradictory. Now if I tried to argue he was a good person, well, even he would disagree.
