"Blockbuster" could have worked if it were set in the 90's or 00's, when video stores were in their heyday. There's not really much humour potential in the active last Blockbuster store in a slowly declining business.
I agree they wasted their time with that sitcom. I could see it being set in the 2000s. alot of video stores were still around so seeing the whole competition going on between different stores would be interesting. Thats just an example but i just think there would be alot more things to talk about if the sitcom was set around that time.
Another issue was it just wasn't fun and funny. Blockbuster was a staple for entertainment once upon a time it should have been more fun than it was, it came across as very depressing
I watched "Blockbuster" on Netflix. Oh woah is me! The characters and the themes(especially the queer relationship between the store clerk/movie expert and his formal rival-temporary clerk made me cringe) were obnoxious and unnecessary.
Beats me. In the final clip of his segment, he sounds exactly like Bernadette from The Big Bang Theory, whose TV voice is also higher than her natural one.
About "She's the Sheriff", it was part of an experiment that NBC tried with its affiliates in the fall of 1987 called "Primetime Begins at 7:30", where they tried a different sitcom on each night of the week. This show and "Out of This World" were the only ones from this experiment to get an additional season in syndication, though the latter would eventually get four altogether.
I heard they're planning another "future hit sitcom" (their words, not mine) called "You're Driving Me Hussein!" starring Saddam Hussein. Just imagine all the wacky antics he and his two sons will get into!
That show was very hyped. A lot of media critics were predicting it would be big; a return of must see TV, based solely on them liking Mulaney and thinking NBC was smart to revive their multi-cam comedy business (after all CBS did it successfully and NBC used to be the king of the format). If I remember, Mulaney wanted to do single cam, like 30 Rock, but NBC forced him to do multi-cam, thinking they could get the Seinfeld/Friends magic.
When I watched it, I was almost sure they were trying to do something ironically bad. Now I don’t think it was supposed to be that cookie cutter in a sardonic way.
A show where Adolf Hitler (the most hated person in human history) is the protagonist, is it really that shocking that this was voted as the number one worst (considering that only one episode aired before the show was pulled) 🤦🏻♂️
The idea was to satirize the triteness of American sitcoms. It may have been inspired by a Monty Python skit about “The Atilla the Hun Show,” which did exactly that.
Whoever thought it was a good idea to base a sitcom off of a car insurance commercial really needs to go back to school and learn the definition of entertainment. That’s like giving a sitcom to the cows from the Chick-fil-A commercials. Good marketing campaign
hey Ernest movies came from a commercials Earnest was original a spoke person for a bunch of different ads he got so popular the decided to make a movie with him in it and the rest is history
But makes less sense and is more tasteless. The idea that women got unfair advantages in employment...ouch. C. Thomas Howell in blackface at least learned a moral.
I didn't like that he chainsawed Matthew Broderick's cardboard cut-out. That was stupid. Matthew was obviously the best actor portraying Ferris! I never really saw the TV show... and glad I didn't! The movie rocked and is a classic! ... I also had a crush on Mia who played Sloane Peterson!
@TheSoleProprietor Absolutely, I think Matthew Broderick does the best job in any movie at talking to the camera. I was a little kid in the 80's and my brother was a teenager. We still quite FB and other John Hughes movies all the time. Total classics!
Most revamps of British TV shows are really bad. Remakes of Robin's Nest to Threes a Crowd, Coupling, Red Dwarf and Absolute Fabulous. While I adore British sitcoms, they try to use British humor that works over here. They should just leave the classics alone.
While I have only seen clips of it, people say that Three's A Crowd was a great show. Red Dwarf really didn't need to have a remake and I remember British remakes of the IT Crowd, Life on Mars, Birds of a Feather not being good and Dads Army remake, The Rear Guard which wasn't as good as Dad's Army. I also couldn't see how that premise could work set in the USA as for one example, the threat of invasion by the Nazi's just wasn't there like it was in Britain during the war.
_All in the Family, Sanford & Son, Three's Company, Too Close for Comfort, House of Cards_ were all successful remakes of British shows. Currently _Ghosts_ seems to be doing all right.
I'm surprised Golden Palace wasn't included. I only saw a few of these - Hello Larry, Joanie loves Chachi, She's The Sheriff (maybe once or twice), That 80s Show, & the first episode of Joey. I'm glad that That 80s Show didn't hurt Chyler Leigh's career. And Susan Summers did get another show after She's The Sheriff - Step By Step. Can't say the same for the others though.
I LOVE James Woods and would watch him in anything that he did. He is so diverse from Against All Odds to Haddes in Hercules. He is truly a chameleon and super underrated ✌️and ♥️
How did WatchMojo not point that out. Actually, the first time I noticed Jennifer Aniston was on a Quantum Leap episode. Her character helped the Scot Bakula character. I remember thinking: She sure is likable. Who is this young cutie? (I think Aniston was a nurse in the ep).
That’s what I frickin’ thought 🤯😳!!! As mentioned above, I think referencing her appearing in the show woulda def added some extra “pizzaz” to its ultimate failure 😂.
3:09 oh god... that reminds me of how hard boomer script writers were trying to be so edgy in the 1990s to appeal to Gen X youth. "Hey fellow kids. I'm giving the middle finger to the establishment just like you. Now that you know I'm one of you, let me pitch the thing I want you to consume."
Coupling was a hilarious British comedy. When Americanized it fell flat and was just terrible, even when sometimes using the same scripts. There is something that just doesn't work when trying to make a show from one culture in another.
Hit and miss. Instead of saying "a piece of junk" you should have said "a piece of BLEEP".. especially that you were talking about "BLEEP my dad says". What a missed opportunity
Same it was basically just a repeat of many other comedies. Yet I think it didn’t have a chance to get its legs under them and see fan feed back in a Netflix format. Take Community watch the first episode and see how different it is from all the others. Plus half way through season one they had the show that perfected the formula for the rest of the series.
Man! I clearly remember when I was at grade school around 1992 and the "Harry and the Hendersons" intro started playing. It was my cue to change the channel.
I couldn't stand Fed either. HEY...The Annoying orange I had forgot about, but I remember not liking it years ago. I was surprised to find out they are still making Annoying Orange videos and the channel has 12.9M subscribers!
Veronica's Closet had its moments. The "vibrating panty" and Josh's attempt at quitting smoking were particular faves. But they ruined it, and it ended.
I actually think the concept behind my “mother, the car” is very disturbing. The thought of inanimate objects coming to life with sentience just rubs me in the wrong direction.
I think the problem is that it was too mature on a channel for children. It was just a normal average series but it wasn’t immature enough for children to laugh every episode, it was too straight forward & tame
Kene Holiday (Matlock), Victor French (Little House on Prairie); Melanie Griffith made an appearance as a young news girl in an episode. I would love to see that show again after all these years. I have read the show shyed away from the racial, edgy humor (in 'southern' Georgia) for too much gotta please the white audience, average comedy predictability.
@@80sEric Richard Paul portrayed the mayor. Yes?! I think I'm remembering that too. Guich Cook(Sp?). I could have just googled but Guich Cook(Sp?) played a dumb cop?
I'm just here to see who all is mad that Big Bang Theory didnt make this list. 12 seasons and several emmy wins plus an all time classic character in Sheldon Cooper.... clearly it didn't suck, you all just hate because the Internet told you to think it did.
I liked The Big Band Theory. My mom loved it and we have seen every episode since they first aired, including all episodes of Young Sheldon and I liked that too.
I like that show as well, but I don't think it needed to last any more than maybe seven seasons. But I agree that it's not one of the worst sitcoms of all time. Wouldn't call it one of the greatest either, but yeah.
Why would Big Bang Theory even be in contention for the bottom of the barrel? If you love it, you think it deserves all the accolades. If you hate it, you think it was mediocre. But the shows on this list are far, far worse than mediocre.
Man, Lawrence Gilliard Jr hasn't aged a day! He was in the sitcom "George" in '93 and played Bob in The Walking Dead more than 20yrs later and looks exactly the same!
This was actually a good show in its first year when it focused on topics like veteran's health issues, the radioactive testing that led to cancer, treatment of veterans in the civilian world, etc., and Harry Morgan was outstanding...however, as you say, the second year not only the A-Team issue, but they got rid of many of the 1st season regulars and turned it into a second-rate sitcom, which was an insult to the original....sticking to the first-season topics would have made this a better and longer-lasting series, and Alda and Co. could have broke down and done a couple of guest spots to keep the original series memories alive........a great idea, a tragic outcome was AfterMASH...........
There's a very sublte moment in Arrested Development (I think season 1) when a few of them are watching tv in the living room and we can hear the tv with a sitcom-y theme playing. Something about never thought my mom would come back...as a car! Turns out, this was a reference to an actual tv show. Who knew?!
2:25 I actually liked the show dad's I thought it was funny. But alot of these shows fell in the years that alot of show was never able to grow and get there feet.
Amazing video Rebecca from watch mojo of the worst sitcom tv show ever made in television history,fantastic job. I was never a Fan of Fred on that episode of the original iCarly show and I can’t believe there was a tv show and three movies why.
They forgot Abby's. That show should be in the top 3 worst. It only lasted 1 season. It was not funny. And, the character of Abby was the most unlikeable character I've ever seen in a sitcom. I found myself rooting for her bar to get shut down.
Jerry Van Dyke turned down a lead role in another series to star in "My Mother The Car". He was offered "Gilligan's Island". I saw both "S**t My Father Says" and "The Paul Reiser Show" and liked both of them.
I was a young child when I first saw Harry and the Henderson's TV show in the early 90s. I hadn't yet seen the movie it was based on, but I remember liking the show, because it was so different to any live action show I had seen to that point. I have since seen the movie a few times and I do think it is better than the TV show. While I loved M*A*S*H, I watched the first episode of AfterMASH and tried to get through the whole thing, but I just couldn't and never watched anymore than that. I remember the Fred character and couldn't stand his squeaky voice.
Anyone remember The Mullets? A short-lived sitcom on UPN about two brothers with mullets that aired for 11 episodes from September 2003 to March 2004, and was created by Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein, who had previously worked as producers and writers for The Simpsons. Their first episode was a crossover with WWE, whose popular weekly show SmackDown also aired on UPN at the time, featuring a match between the Dudley Boyz and La Résistance (Rene Dupree and Sylvan Grenier). Guess they blew their load right out the gate, because I doubt ratings ever got any better than the first episode.
@@Horrible_Hoarder 2 seasons. Anger Management only ran for 2 seasons. It's first episode aired on June 28, 2012 and its final episode aired on December 22, 2014. Also, its first season scored a 23% on Rotten Tomatoes. A show can run for a long time and still be horrible (Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory). The same goes for a show that is truly great and only runs for a very brief time (Firefly, Freaks and Geeks).
I`ll admit that I always had this unique interest in the FRED show. I can see where all the criticism at it comes from, yet I enjoy watching it like it`s an ultimate guilty pleasure even at its worst moments. Also, seeing the entry reminded me of this fanfic that I tried to write in the early-mid 2010`s. It was based on the Telltale Games "Walking Dead 400 Days" episode and had Fred as one of the five playable characters (the others were Kyle from "Fanboy and ChumChum", Rocko from "Rockos Modern Life", Kacey Simon from "How to Rock" and True Jackson from "True Jackson VP"). The story would have its main setting be a community center during the first 500 days of a zombie apocalypse, with the five characters and supporting cast camping at or near the center at various times in said 500 days. Freds story would take place around the 240 day mark, where he and his group would be traversing near the area during a heavy thunderstorm and get caught in an attack between two armed groups that force the survivors to split up in panic. Freds section would be a stealth based one (all five characters have different gameplay with a couple similarities) and a personal attempt to salvage his character/show, as he becomes more competent and can possibly save his entire group (as he has to locate them in various hiding areas and guide them to past the undead and chaos to the community center, which serves as a safehouse) as he performs stealth kills, has several paths he can take (which gives replayability to the story) and can be silent during all the dialogue selection scenes, making him a silent protagonist for a good chunk of the plot (with any scenes where he talks at least being more funny/clever than the show).
Bosom Buddies did the 'men who dress as women' better, though if memory serves, that was to get an apartment in a female only building because of the housing market. But also, Tootsie.
Ferris Buellers movie sucked as badly as the show, i loved Parker Louis Cant Lose though. George Formens show had a good idea, but was done badly. I liked Veronica's Closet it was the change of the time that screwed it That 80s show would have worked if they didnt overdo everything the 1st episode Blockbuster was funny and could have worked out That anyone thought hile hunny im home was ever okay is nuts Personally i think Friends Seinfeld should also be in the list i never understood why either manged to be so popular, both had such over the top sitcom tropes it wasnt funny to me. However the reason we have so many different shows is because of the amount of different people having different ideas of funny.
There was another sitcom spun off from Friends called Jesse. Was about the sister of Jennifer Aniston's character Rachel. Ran between 1997-98. Christina Applegate who did the role had just finished Married with Children and had appeared on Friends.
3:57 I remember when Ferris Bueller premiered on TV. I hated it. But for some reason, Parker Lewis, which was similar to, was much better. 5:14 I loved She’s the Sheriff.
I was so looking forward for thats the 80s show. I watched the first episode and i thought well maybe the second would be better but the second was equally stupid. Sad. But I watched dog with a blog with my kids and was silly but we really liked it lol. Joey was another disappointment. 😢
@dripsa BECAUSE I SINCERELY BELIEVE THAT THIS SITCOM WAS IN A CLASS ALL BY ITSELF!!!!!! UNLIKE MOST OTHER SITCOMS THE CHARACTERS WERE BELIEVABLE AND THE STORYLINES WERE BELIEVABLE AND THE CONVERSATIONS THE CHARACTERS HAD WERE BELIEVABLE!!! YOU DON'T FIND THAT RARE MIX IN A SITCOM VERY OFTEN AT ALL!!!!
i remember a couple of these. one i thought should have been there was one where Don Adams, of Get Smart fame, was the manager of a grocery store. Don Adams is a great comedian, but the show just did not seem funny to me at all.
Thank you 😂 I'm thrilled to included and remembered as one of the worst sitcoms of all time! God, I hated that series, Hello, Larry. From the second my mother signed the contract. 😡
Sometime in the early 80s there was an unsold Suzanne Somers pilot called "Goodbye Charlie" about a man who dies and comes back in a woman's body (this was way before Blake Edwards' Switch.) It didn't get picked up, but it was way funnier than She's the Sheriff, which lasted two seasons.
I won't work all that hard to defend "Are We There Yet?" to anyone, but it doesn't need to be on this list. It's okay. I doubt most people even really watched it, and it is much better than both of the movies. A much worse show is a show called "Love That Girl" starring Tatyana Ali. That was awful, and complete trash.
So they say the premise of Work It is "beyond insulting" because men dress as women. The trans community does that every day, wins female sports awards and garners more press than they deserve. Where's the outcry over that insult to women?
"Small Wonder" was another awful direct-to-syndication dungheap. It's NO small wonder that the girl who played the V.I..C.I. the robot left acting to become a nurse. She probably had a lot of work to do in healing those suffering trauma from watching that show.
13:20. The cast is great, but obviously the producers didn’t realize the joke is that Kim is NOT hot. Also the mother daughter are about the same age in the original. Just bad casting and it’s also a very Australian show that just doesn’t translate. Kath’s husband wasn’t silly /likable enough, Kim’s husband wasn’t dislikable enough or ugly enough, and no SHaRON?! 20:57 what’s unbelievable is that people think they pay more than one person to run the whole store 😅

Dog With A Blog is not a bad show, you're still not forgiven, no matter what
I hated Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory, Hannah Montana, Dog With A Blog, Liv & Maddie, and 2 Broke Girls.
First ☝️
I loved " are we there yet".
You know a show is bad when you watch one or two episodes, and then never notice - or even care - that it's not on anymore.
"Blockbuster" could have worked if it were set in the 90's or 00's, when video stores were in their heyday. There's not really much humour potential in the active last Blockbuster store in a slowly declining business.

Another issue was it just wasn't fun and funny. Blockbuster was a staple for entertainment once upon a time it should have been more fun than it was, it came across as very depressing
It worked great as a 20 min episode idea for South Park, but as a show it would stale fast
Yeah, really. The show had the obvious window for when to Cancel it, too. When word got out Blockbuster was going under...The End
I watched "Blockbuster" on Netflix. Oh woah is me! The characters and the themes(especially the queer relationship between the store clerk/movie expert and his formal rival-temporary clerk made me cringe) were obnoxious and unnecessary.
Fred was unwatchable when he was on iCarly. How did "Dude who sounds like a 4-year-old girl" ever get green-lit?
he was very cringe
He was unfortunately very popular and that was enough for the network and the misguided kids watching at the time
Also, Thundermans and Marvin Marvin were terrible sitcoms.
Beats me. In the final clip of his segment, he sounds exactly like Bernadette from The Big Bang Theory, whose TV voice is also higher than her natural one.
Disney thinks it's audience are idiots. They still do

This show and "Out of This World" were the only ones from this experiment to get an additional season in syndication, though the latter would eventually get four altogether.
_We Got It Made_ got an additional season. It had been on three or four years earlier and cancelled, then brought back for "PT Begins."
@@jb888888888 Yeah, but it didn't get renewed after the primetime experiment.
I remember hearing about "Heil Honey, I'm Home" and as soon as i could, i watched the pilot episode and was laughing from how terrible it was.
The fact that network executives greenlit Heil Honey I’m Home to begin with is baffling
I heard they're planning another "future hit sitcom" (their words, not mine) called "You're Driving Me Hussein!" starring Saddam Hussein. Just imagine all the wacky antics he and his two sons will get into!
What's baffling about it? Hitler and jew related humor is never off the table.
If they greenlit THIS, just imagine what they rejected!😂😂
I think it's hilarious and want to see more.
I thought I saw Heil honey I'm home in a fevered dream once.
"Three's a Crowd". Spin-off after "Three's Company" ended. It never seemed to get the laughs of the original.
John Mulaney might be one of best living comedians, but that does not necessarily means that it will translate to a tv show.
He basically quit SNL to do that sitcom. He took Naseem Pedrad with him.
One episode I saw had them stealing a veteran's service dog, simply atrocious.
Ehhh hes definitely a comedian
That show was very hyped. A lot of media critics were predicting it would be big; a return of must see TV, based solely on them liking Mulaney and thinking NBC was smart to revive their multi-cam comedy business (after all CBS did it successfully and NBC used to be the king of the format). If I remember, Mulaney wanted to do single cam, like 30 Rock, but NBC forced him to do multi-cam, thinking they could get the Seinfeld/Friends magic.

Aussie here when Kath and Kim USA launched only a few weeks later it was replaced with reruns of our version and it rated much better LOL
I'm convinced Desmond Pfeiffer was someones poor attempt at an American remake of Blackadder without crediting anyone.
that is an excellent point
Dog with a blog was the least insufferable Disney show of its time.
Which is faint praise, indeed.
Some reason I watch all the esipode of it
I watch every espiode of Dog with a Blog don't know why
I liked it and the only reason I watched it is because it had Beth Cahill who once was on The Daily Show.
Loved the dog!
Hello Larry and Veronica’s Closet are outliers here. Not great, but nowhere near as bad as the rest.
I remember enjoying Veronica's Closet as a 10 year old boy. That might actually speak to why it ultimately failed.
I liked both of those shows!
I liked Veronica’s closet too! I was a kid tho so my judgment might not have been great lol
Veronica's Closet might have survived if the network didn't mess with it so much.
A show where Adolf Hitler (the most hated person in human history) is the protagonist, is it really that shocking that this was voted as the number one worst (considering that only one episode aired before the show was pulled) 🤦🏻♂️
Let's hope the person who came up with that got fired.
not only was the main character Hitler, they lived next to a Jewish couple and that was the focus of the comedy!!!
The idea was to satirize the triteness of American sitcoms. It may have been inspired by a Monty Python skit about “The Atilla the Hun Show,” which did exactly that.
The fact that network executives greenlit that in the first place is baffling.
@@brianarbenz1329 I love that sitcom
Whoever thought it was a good idea to base a sitcom off of a car insurance commercial really needs to go back to school and learn the definition of entertainment.
That’s like giving a sitcom to the cows from the Chick-fil-A commercials. Good marketing campaign
hey Ernest movies came from a commercials Earnest was original a spoke person for a bunch of different ads he got so popular the decided to make a movie with him in it and the rest is history
Ernest also had a brief TV series. Jim Varney also did other movies, I enjoyed him as Jed Clampet in The Beverly Hillbillies movie.
The sad part is that I think it had a previous actor crush of mine in it and when I found out...and I didn't care. I hated the commercials that badly.
@thanatos-Prime had you made this comment earlier, it would have been prescient (Context: Chick-fil-A announced their own streaming service)
So...Work It just sounds like a reboot of Bosom Buddies
more like a ripoff
But makes less sense and is more tasteless. The idea that women got unfair advantages in employment...ouch. C. Thomas Howell in blackface at least learned a moral.
The example that the show Ferris Bueller set is nothing but a first class ticket to NOWHERE!

@TheSoleProprietor Absolutely, I think Matthew Broderick does the best job in any movie at talking to the camera. I was a little kid in the 80's and my brother was a teenager. We still quite FB and other John Hughes movies all the time. Total classics!
Imagine if Glenn Howerton's only claim to fame was "That 80s Show"
Joey wasn't that bad it just wasn't Friends
😅in his older age, he starred in show: Man with a Plan
''Veronica's Closet'' was not that bad. I actually enjoyed it. 😊
agreed, I think the same abt "Joey" and US version of "Kath and Kim". Hardly groundbreaking, but really not that bad
It was super fun, no idea why it's here!!
Yeah I liked that show
Yup. Actually shocked to see it on this list...
Veronicas closet was watchable and funny

I think The Office is a spinoff of a UK show as well.
Best US version of a UK show is Being Human, I think...🤓
I'm surprised Golden Palace wasn't included.

Here’s an idea for a future video. Top 10 Celebrities Famous for their Villain Roles. Examples include James Woods, Jim Carrey, and Richard Horvitz.
I LOVE James Woods and would watch him in anything that he did. He is so diverse from Against All Odds to Haddes in Hercules. He is truly a chameleon and super underrated ✌️and ♥️
And Dennis Hopper.
Did nobody else recognize Jennifer Aniston as Jeannie Beuller?
I did.
Surprised the video didn't point her out
Since there are multiple comments talking about it id say people did notice it
How did WatchMojo not point that out.

Ah good old Blockbuster... I miss that old video rental store.
Yep Im from England and blockbuster on a Friday after school hit hard
Just go to Oregon and go to it
Same here. It's like red box. I'm going to miss it
You forgot "Apple Pie" with Rue McClanahan and Dabney Coleman. This show lasted 1 episode in the 1970s.
Correction: 2 episodes.
Coupling was a hilarious British comedy. When Americanized it fell flat and was just terrible, even when sometimes using the same scripts. There is something that just doesn't work when trying to make a show from one culture in another.
"After the show, Bob went back to commercials. This time for Quiznos." How'd that work out?
Hit and miss. Instead of saying "a piece of junk" you should have said "a piece of BLEEP".. especially that you were talking about "BLEEP my dad says". What a missed opportunity
They can't swear, they'll be demonetized.
@@Foebane72 I never said that they should swear. I literally meant "BLEEP". It's pretty obvious
Yea they should definitely have taken the unoriginal joke route
I actually thought Blockbuster was pretty good.
Same it was basically just a repeat of many other comedies. Yet I think it didn’t have a chance to get its legs under them and see fan feed back in a Netflix format.
Take Community watch the first episode and see how different it is from all the others. Plus half way through season one they had the show that perfected the formula for the rest of the series.
I'm so grateful that barely any of these shows made it to international syndication as I have hardly any knowledge of them 😅
I'm from the US and haven't heard of more than half of these.
Fred needed to have the number one spot desperately. Not just the show, everything that UA-cam star received from Nickelodeon is a disgrace
Man! I clearly remember when I was at grade school around 1992 and the "Harry and the Hendersons" intro started playing. It was my cue to change the channel.
Lol
I got through about 15 minutes of That 80’s show and turned off the tv
I never even got a chance to see it. I wish it’d go on a streaming service or dvd or something so I can see it, out of curiosity
Watched the first episode when it initially aired. Never watched it again.
@packedentertainment2866 I watched it, it wasn't that bad to me. I tuned in for the chemistry between Chyler Leigh and Glen Howerton's characters.
My kids watched Fred a few times back in 2010 and I banned his show from the house. His voice literally gave me a migraine.
I couldn't stand Fred the show, Out of Jimmy's Head, or Annoying Orange. Don't know who was watching any of these past 1 episode?
The annoying oranges was so bad, I couldn't watch it
I couldn't stand Fed either. HEY...The Annoying orange I had forgot about, but I remember not liking it years ago. I was surprised to find out they are still making Annoying Orange videos and the channel has 12.9M subscribers!
@@DynamixWareProSeriously!? I can't believe they still make that garbage. Much less 12 Million Subscribers actually watch it. 🤨
I kinda like these shows
better question is why they greenlit these shows.
OMG was that Captain Cragen playing Lincoln?! 😂😂😂
Parker Lewis can't loose was pretty funny.
It wasnt that bad of a show
Lose*
@@fjorgyn7438 Thankyou.
Veronica's Closet had its moments. The "vibrating panty" and Josh's attempt at quitting smoking were particular faves. But they ruined it, and it ended.
I wouldn’t have it on this list it wasn’t too bad
Dog With a Blog was good though…
Someone at Disney apparently liked the famous _New Yorker_ cartoon, "No one knows you're a dog on the Internet."
I would replace it with School of Rock: The TV show! Dog isn't a good show, but it's harmless and not devoid of sense, unlike School of Rock!
No it really wasn’t.
I actually think the concept behind my “mother, the car” is very disturbing. The thought of inanimate objects coming to life with sentience just rubs me in the wrong direction.
What’s wrong with Dog with a Blog?
Nothing's wrong with it.
I think the problem is that it was too mature on a channel for children. It was just a normal average series but it wasn’t immature enough for children to laugh every episode, it was too straight forward & tame
@@packedentertainment2866 That's one way of looking at it.
The dog part. That character was a drag on the show, even though he was one of the protagonists.
@@packedentertainment2866 There was nothing mature about the show. The acting was terrible. It was just a bad Disney show.
In a different timeline, the office would be on this list after an awful first season.
Anybody remember ''Carter Country''?
Yes! And I liked it.
Kene Holiday (Matlock), Victor French (Little House on Prairie); Melanie Griffith made an appearance as a young news girl in an episode. I would love to see that show again after all these years. I have read the show shyed away from the racial, edgy humor (in 'southern' Georgia) for too much gotta please the white audience, average comedy predictability.
I even remember the Richard Paul catchphrase "handle it, handle it."
@@80sEric Richard Paul portrayed the mayor. Yes?! I think I'm remembering that too.
Guich Cook(Sp?). I could have just googled but Guich Cook(Sp?) played a dumb cop?
yes. I loved that show at the time. not sure how I'd like it now though.
Does anyone remember another 80's movie turned into a sitcom but couldn't get pass the pilot episode which was "Revenge of the Nerds"?
Fast Times at Ridgemont High also had a TV show that lasted even less time than the Ferris Bueller show
Dirty Dancing as well.
@@whaduzitmatr Then there was "Delta House", the TV version of "Animal House". I think it was short lived. I only saw a few clips of "Delta House"
I'm just here to see who all is mad that Big Bang Theory didnt make this list. 12 seasons and several emmy wins plus an all time classic character in Sheldon Cooper.... clearly it didn't suck, you all just hate because the Internet told you to think it did.
My dad used to love the Big Bang Theory, I only remember one esipode I actually saw, it have Stan Lee in it
I liked The Big Band Theory. My mom loved it and we have seen every episode since they first aired, including all episodes of Young Sheldon and I liked that too.
I like that show as well, but I don't think it needed to last any more than maybe seven seasons. But I agree that it's not one of the worst sitcoms of all time. Wouldn't call it one of the greatest either, but yeah.
Why would Big Bang Theory even be in contention for the bottom of the barrel? If you love it, you think it deserves all the accolades. If you hate it, you think it was mediocre. But the shows on this list are far, far worse than mediocre.
Back Back Theory is fantastic. I love them
I was so excited when That 80s Show was announced and started, until I watched it 😢
Same. I still think the basic idea of an 80s spinoff was a good one. Unfortunately the creators whiffed on evolving the concept into a watchable show.
I remember laughing at that William Shatner sitcom.
yeah i don't recall it being as bad as everyone says. I think the problem was Shatner was the only funny part
😅shite my father says
me too.
Instead of Joey, they should have done a Phoebe prequel showing all that she went thru up until meeting them.
Lisa kudrow was 41 when friends ended. There isn’t a single younger actress alive who could have pulled off her Schtik.
"Heil Honey, I'm Home" was...
...heil-arious
🥁
Dog With a Blog was epic.
I used to love that show but I thought I made it up
I alway thought it was funny
i love your profile
-ly trash.
Agreed
20:28...the "black void of space"...? Seriously? 😂🤦🏽♀️
yeah, that was an awful things to say...
Ngl, I would think that sitcoms would dominate the 25 worst shows of all time.
Man, Lawrence Gilliard Jr hasn't aged a day! He was in the sitcom "George" in '93 and played Bob in The Walking Dead more than 20yrs later and looks exactly the same!
AfterMASH died a death when its second season was moved to Tuesday night up against The A-Team.
This was actually a good show in its first year when it focused on topics like veteran's health issues, the radioactive testing that led to cancer, treatment of veterans in the civilian world, etc., and Harry Morgan was outstanding...however, as you say, the second year not only the A-Team issue, but they got rid of many of the 1st season regulars and turned it into a second-rate sitcom, which was an insult to the original....sticking to the first-season topics would have made this a better and longer-lasting series, and Alda and Co. could have broke down and done a couple of guest spots to keep the original series memories alive........a great idea, a tragic outcome was AfterMASH...........
@@kevinharris4166 I could not agree more. The first season was definitely the better of the two.
died a death
The A-team--has not aged well AT ALL.
My Mother the Car almost caused NBC and Universal Studios to almost walk away from what became a well known 80s action show, Knight Rider
Joey really hurts as I actually did enjoy it at first, but in the end……yeah. 😔
There's a very sublte moment in Arrested Development (I think season 1) when a few of them are watching tv in the living room and we can hear the tv with a sitcom-y theme playing. Something about never thought my mom would come back...as a car! Turns out, this was a reference to an actual tv show. Who knew?!
The title of that episode was, “my mother, the car.”
I actually rather liked Dog With a Blog and after reading the comments, I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one who did.
2:25 I actually liked the show dad's I thought it was funny. But alot of these shows fell in the years that alot of show was never able to grow and get there feet.
Webster was successful but not funny.
Amazing video Rebecca from watch mojo of the worst sitcom tv show ever made in television history,fantastic job. I was never a Fan of Fred on that episode of the original iCarly show and I can’t believe there was a tv show and three movies why.
They forgot Abby's. That show should be in the top 3 worst. It only lasted 1 season. It was not funny. And, the character of Abby was the most unlikeable character I've ever seen in a sitcom. I found myself rooting for her bar to get shut down.
That was the show with the dad from The Middle right?
@alanvallazza9781 Yes. Sadly, even he couldn't save it. I wish there was a community where I could share my hatred of this show.
@@OVWXHahahaha
Jerry Van Dyke turned down a lead role in another series to star in "My Mother The Car". He was offered "Gilligan's Island".
I saw both "S**t My Father Says" and "The Paul Reiser Show" and liked both of them.
Wait! Why did Blockbuster have a Show?! What was the plots?!
One episode was where someone didn't rewind!
I think the main premise was to stop the store closing down
I was a young child when I first saw Harry and the Henderson's TV show in the early 90s. I hadn't yet seen the movie it was based on, but I remember liking the show, because it was so different to any live action show I had seen to that point. I have since seen the movie a few times and I do think it is better than the TV show. While I loved M*A*S*H, I watched the first episode of AfterMASH and tried to get through the whole thing, but I just couldn't and never watched anymore than that.
I remember the Fred character and couldn't stand his squeaky voice.
Work It: A Show So Bad, NO ONE wanted it.
It was just a rip off of Bosum Buddies..only THAT was funny.
Anyone remember The Mullets? A short-lived sitcom on UPN about two brothers with mullets that aired for 11 episodes from September 2003 to March 2004, and was created by Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein, who had previously worked as producers and writers for The Simpsons.
Their first episode was a crossover with WWE, whose popular weekly show SmackDown also aired on UPN at the time, featuring a match between the Dudley Boyz and La Résistance (Rene Dupree and Sylvan Grenier). Guess they blew their load right out the gate, because I doubt ratings ever got any better than the first episode.
That's a very boring concept for a show. Can't believe upn decided to greenlit it.
A few more: Shasta McNasty, Anger Management and every sitcom created and produced by Tyler Perry (Meet the Browns, House of Payne, etc.)
Anger Management got 100 episodes and 5 seasons, this aint about opinions this is about facts🎉
I remember Shasta McNasty. I laughed at how silly and stupid it was. That's about it with me
@@Horrible_Hoarder 2 seasons. Anger Management only ran for 2 seasons. It's first episode aired on June 28, 2012 and its final episode aired on December 22, 2014. Also, its first season scored a 23% on Rotten Tomatoes. A show can run for a long time and still be horrible (Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory). The same goes for a show that is truly great and only runs for a very brief time (Firefly, Freaks and Geeks).
@@FirstNameLastName-io5co imdb lied to me! Cant believe theres now lies on the internet it makes me sick
@@Horrible_Hoarderthey were contracted to run for 100 episodes genius
I`ll admit that I always had this unique interest in the FRED show. I can see where all the criticism at it comes from, yet I enjoy watching it like it`s an ultimate guilty pleasure even at its worst moments.
Also, seeing the entry reminded me of this fanfic that I tried to write in the early-mid 2010`s. It was based on the Telltale Games "Walking Dead 400 Days" episode and had Fred as one of the five playable characters (the others were Kyle from "Fanboy and ChumChum", Rocko from "Rockos Modern Life", Kacey Simon from "How to Rock" and True Jackson from "True Jackson VP"). The story would have its main setting be a community center during the first 500 days of a zombie apocalypse, with the five characters and supporting cast camping at or near the center at various times in said 500 days.
Freds story would take place around the 240 day mark, where he and his group would be traversing near the area during a heavy thunderstorm and get caught in an attack between two armed groups that force the survivors to split up in panic. Freds section would be a stealth based one (all five characters have different gameplay with a couple similarities) and a personal attempt to salvage his character/show, as he becomes more competent and can possibly save his entire group (as he has to locate them in various hiding areas and guide them to past the undead and chaos to the community center, which serves as a safehouse) as he performs stealth kills, has several paths he can take (which gives replayability to the story) and can be silent during all the dialogue selection scenes, making him a silent protagonist for a good chunk of the plot (with any scenes where he talks at least being more funny/clever than the show).
I'd still watch any of these shows over Full House! Yep... You got it dude 😎 👍
Bosom Buddies did the 'men who dress as women' better, though if memory serves, that was to get an apartment in a female only building because of the housing market.
But also, Tootsie.
I’ll be really surprised if number one is isn’t Heil Honey I’m Home.
I knew it.
Ferris Buellers movie sucked as badly as the show, i loved Parker Louis Cant Lose though.
George Formens show had a good idea, but was done badly.
I liked Veronica's Closet it was the change of the time that screwed it
That 80s show would have worked if they didnt overdo everything the 1st episode
Blockbuster was funny and could have worked out
That anyone thought hile hunny im home was ever okay is nuts
Personally i think Friends Seinfeld should also be in the list i never understood why either manged to be so popular, both had such over the top sitcom tropes it wasnt funny to me.
However the reason we have so many different shows is because of the amount of different people having different ideas of funny.
I certainly remember Dog With A Blog and Joey
There was another sitcom spun off from Friends called Jesse. Was about the sister of Jennifer Aniston's character Rachel. Ran between 1997-98. Christina Applegate who did the role had just finished Married with Children and had appeared on Friends.
@@alanvallazza9781Rachel had a sister?
3:57 I remember when Ferris Bueller premiered on TV. I hated it. But for some reason, Parker Lewis, which was similar to, was much better.
5:14 I loved She’s the Sheriff.
You still think dog with the blog is the worst, I love dog with the blog and I don’t care you think Watchmojo!
It's not that bad. I mean, any random Disney Channel or Nick show at the time was far, far worse.
I was so looking forward for thats the 80s show. I watched the first episode and i thought well maybe the second would be better but the second was equally stupid. Sad. But I watched dog with a blog with my kids and was silly but we really liked it lol. Joey was another disappointment. 😢
GROUNDED FOR LIFE WAS THE BEST SITCOM EVER FOR SEVERAL REASONS!!!!!
Yeah I liked it too!❤
why are you saying this? It's not even on the list
@dripsa BECAUSE I SINCERELY BELIEVE THAT THIS SITCOM WAS IN A CLASS ALL BY ITSELF!!!!!! UNLIKE MOST OTHER SITCOMS THE CHARACTERS WERE BELIEVABLE AND THE STORYLINES WERE BELIEVABLE AND THE CONVERSATIONS THE CHARACTERS HAD WERE BELIEVABLE!!! YOU DON'T FIND THAT RARE MIX IN A SITCOM VERY OFTEN AT ALL!!!!
Because those are my teams. Lol eddie and the grandpa made that show
Well that came out of nowhere, but yeah it was good and i have no idea why it was cancelled so quickly... But no show was better than Seinfeld.
We get it there was a Hilter sitcom how long are you going to milk that damn thing
WatchMojo have created about twice as much content-time covering it than was ever originally broadcast, so who is really at fault?
@@netto6681Hitler. The actual guy.
i remember a couple of these. one i thought should have been there was one where Don Adams, of Get Smart fame, was the manager of a grocery store. Don Adams is a great comedian, but the show just did not seem funny to me at all.
Thank you 😂 I'm thrilled to included and remembered as one of the worst sitcoms of all time! God, I hated that series, Hello, Larry.
From the second my mother signed the contract. 😡
I will always love you in Jekyll and Hyde Together Again.
She's the Sheriff was on like 5pm on Saturday. How good did you want it to be?!
Best Matt Leblanc show was Episodes
I like it too and it was a joint venture between BBC and Showtime
Sometime in the early 80s there was an unsold Suzanne Somers pilot called "Goodbye Charlie" about a man who dies and comes back in a woman's body (this was way before Blake Edwards' Switch.) It didn't get picked up, but it was way funnier than She's the Sheriff, which lasted two seasons.
I actually enjoyed Dads. I thought it was funny
There's a real sarcasm in the way you read "did you enjoy this video" that has honestly made me reconsider my life choices
2 broke girls and Joey wasn't bad, just wrong channel and era of television. EDIT: autocorrect got me, shut up I fixed it.
Nope. 2 broke girls was pretty bad
Correct me if I'm wrong, but 2 Broke Girls wasn't on this worst of thirty list.
@@packedentertainment2866I'm going to have to disagree.
was you trying to be a dick by calling it two broke guys or was it a accident
I agree. Mr Belvedere, Designing women and Alf shoulda been on this list.
I won't work all that hard to defend "Are We There Yet?" to anyone, but it doesn't need to be on this list. It's okay. I doubt most people even really watched it, and it is much better than both of the movies. A much worse show is a show called "Love That Girl" starring Tatyana Ali. That was awful, and complete trash.
No mention of Manimal?! 😮
Automan was pretty bad as well, and Galactica 1980
Not a sitcom
Dog with a blog slander shall not be tolerated. I loved this show as a kid
So they say the premise of Work It is "beyond insulting" because men dress as women. The trans community does that every day, wins female sports awards and garners more press than they deserve. Where's the outcry over that insult to women?
Boy you are a try hard
Tommy Wiseau has a sitcom called The Neighbors. Might want to look into that.
Fraser? Great show!
I love Fraser
I loved that show too wtf
Frasier is not on the list. Pay attention.
I Remember #20 "Work it" as Tom Hanks Sit-com "Bosom Buddies"
"Small Wonder" was another awful direct-to-syndication dungheap. It's NO small wonder that the girl who played the V.I..C.I. the robot left acting to become a nurse. She probably had a lot of work to do in healing those suffering trauma from watching that show.
13:20. The cast is great, but obviously the producers didn’t realize the joke is that Kim is NOT hot. Also the mother daughter are about the same age in the original. Just bad casting and it’s also a very Australian show that just doesn’t translate. Kath’s husband wasn’t silly /likable enough, Kim’s husband wasn’t dislikable enough or ugly enough, and no SHaRON?!
20:57 what’s unbelievable is that people think they pay more than one person to run the whole store 😅
Joey Deserved better...
Yeah but they should not have tried to just keep his character going without any of the other characters from Friends.
Of course no.1 has to be something which is a ass kissing to people who are controlling social media
