- Everyone remembers M*A*S*H, All in the Family, and Happy Days, because these were some of the most beloved tv shows of the 1970s, and are still revered today. And so a fog of misconception settles on our mind, where we think that every show from the 70s must have been amazing, because no one talks about the terrible ones anymore. And believe me, my friends, boy were there some awful ones. I’m Nostalgic Nick for Doyouremember, and today we’re going to be taking a look at 10 of the most hated TV shows from the 70s. From attempted child star comebacks, to massive modes of transportation, these shows had it all… just kidding, they barely had anything at all.

PAT MORITA, not Pat Moriarty.
😆😆😆
What can you expect from badly programmed AI? The programmer needs to be fired.
@@stevenrussell5340 You know, I never thought of that but it makes perfect sense. The voicing does sort of sound like a drone.
Mistake by sanctimonious woketard channel
I am Sherlock Holmes, and I approve of this comment.
Robert. Robert Reed.
And Pat Moriarity. 🤣
And Robert was part of the show
Right, not "Richard."
Reed was highly promiscuous. My brother-in-law ran into him many times in that community in Chgo. back in the day. (Probably on Halsted St.)
I was not aware of his dislike of all things Brady Bunch. But he clearly WAS on that "BB Hour" show.
There were train shows before Super Train. Iron Horse was one, Casey Jones another.
It’s Robert Reed, not Richard Reed, and the Brady Bunch Hour wasn’t “killed off.” Back then, there were shows that were known as “summer replacements,” which aired when regular shows where on summer break. Rather than air reruns of regular shows, new shows were made to run for the summer period only.
It's Gilligan's Island not Gilligan's Apartment Building....Jeeze.
😂
I fondly remember Holmes and Yoyo -- it was stupid fun
Me too! Reminded me of Don Adams and Hymie on Get Smart
@@paulleckner9148 Dick Gautier was great as Hymie.
@@paulleckner9148 That's what the show reminded me of more.
@@MiladyMacabre Kill the light Hymie, you knock me out.
It was one of a few Mann & Machine (pun intended) shows that have been floated for the last 60 years starting with Living Doll.
Who's Richard Reed? Robert Reed was on the show. I think the one missing was Eve Plumb...
Reed Richards is Mr. Fantastic.
Eve Plumb wisely rejected a spot on The Brady Bunch Hour. Her spot was filled by Geri Reischl.
@@luisreyes1963 I remember hearing about someone commenting on the show. They said except for Florence Henderson, they had never seen such a talentless group.
@@luisreyes1963 Another who wisely refused this was Alan Melvin (Sam the Butcher) who went to play Archie's buddy Barney Hefner on All in the Family.
@@luisreyes1963 To this day, Geri Reischl still has the nickname "Fake Jan."
Pat Moriarty?? It's Pat Morita.
Thanks, I was going through the comments to see if anyone caught that before I said anything...
@@paulwatters9225yeah, me too!
I enjoyed Holmes and YoYo. I was a kid and I do not recall anyone hating the show.
well, at least we didn't, yet, have to suffer through MTV's reality-show crap, "big brother," "american idol," "the kardashians" and "the apprentice."
Michael J. Fox was an adult who played a teenager on Family Ties.
As an elementary school age kid, I liked Holmes and Yo-yo.
When I first heard the title "Mr. T and Tina" I was thinking you were referring to the "A-Team" Mr. T.
I think the Mr. T here was Takahashi
So did I 😂
Forrest Tucker was NOT the skipper on Gillian’s Island
He was the Sarge on “F Troop” - I loved that show.😊
I think he actually meant "playing the part that corresponded to Skipper". At least that's how I remember it.
Alan Hale Jr.was the skipper.
This guy really does not know what he is talking about. I wonder who wrote the script for him.
I thought Robert Reed did participate in the Brady Bunch variety hour. I thought it was jan who refused to star in it?
I heard that Reed didn't enjoy doing "The Brady Bunch" but did like doing "The Brady Bunch Variety Hour" as it played closer to his musical theatre roots.
You can have added the other Three’s a Crowd. It was unwatchable even back then.
Same with The Ropers.
No Eve Plum on the Brady Bunch Hour
Don't blame her for not appearing on it.
@@marcstevens8576 nah, it would have been nice, but I don’t blame her
I once saw a movie with Richard Reed and Pat Moriarty. It was called Happy Bunch. It was about this father of six who moved his family to Compton and enrolled his kids in Crenshaw High. When the middle girl, Fake Jan, started getting harassed by the Potsie Webber gang for always crashing her bike into them because she NEVER wore her damn glasses, she started taking fake karate lessons from an ex-shaolin short order cook named Arnold Miyagi. With her newfound skills in bullshido, she killed Potsie himself and took over as the 'big boss' and now cooks shaolin burgers for her family with her mother Carol, played by Shirley Hemphill. It was awesome. She still refuses to wear her glasses though. The sequel, "Potsie's Revenge" Starring Florence Handleman as the widow of Richard Reed's character, Mike Bundy, on the other hand was garbage, because it came out before the first movie, so no one understood anything that was happening. It was nice to see Ann B. David reprise her role as Alice, the mob boss. Might be worth a review.
Was that the one with the bicycle gang leader Arthur "Cunzie" Cunningham? He jumped over that Plymouth Duster, "Sergeant Bilko", from the soap opera "The Days of Hazzard", and was then abducted by the alien played by William Robins, Mork Rogers From Planet UNCLE? Or am I thinking of a different show?
Better than The Hee Haw Honeys, I reckon. 😆
You should be writing for sitcoms rather than the hacks they usually employ.That was comedy gold.
😂😂😂😂
I was born in 1963. I recently married a woman born in 1996. I must constantly explain myself! She has no idea...
@afwalker1921.....you married a gold digger dude 😂😂😂😂
@@williamwilkinson6665 I wish that was true, for it would flatter me. The truth is that she is an actress, an A-lister, and wealthier than I will ever be. I'm a filmmaker. I met her at Pink's, just before Christmas in 2009... she's a goddess!
@@afwalker1921 Good for you, enjoy the hell out of her.
I used to watch a LOT of tv when I was a kid and I don’t remember ANY of these shows… and I was a BIG Brady Bunch fan…
Ditto
Same here. Mandela effect? LOL
I think I saw one episode of the Brady Bunch Variety Show; but, the others I never heard of any of them. Not that I would have. I was more into smoking pot and tripping on acid at the time.
Still better than most of today's TV 😅
The guy playing the Wagon Master was not the same guy who played the Skipper.
I wrote an essay for a class assignment on Holmes and Yoyo. Our teacher wanted us to write an essay critiquing a tv show. I was only 14 at the time. I wrote how bad this show was to me. I guess I was right because the sow went off the air a couple of weeks later after I wrote my essay. I guess they listen to a 14 year old critque.
How did CBS even green light "Me and the Chimp" when they were promoting new, socially conscious shows like "Alli in the Family", "MASH" and "Maude"?
David Cassidy : Man Undercover became a series thanks to the former Partridge Family teen idol garnering an EMMY nomination for his guest role in an episode of the drama series Police Story.
I wouldn't actually give thanks for that disaster becoming a supposed show.
It worked for Ron Howard on one episode of Love, American Style. Happy Days @@up0820
Supertrain was supposed to be The Love Boat on land.
I sadly tried watching some of these but unfortunately slept in the middle of them.
I actually watched 'Dusty's Trail". Even in 5th grade I recognized it as a Gilligan clone (Especially with Gilligan as Dusty). I thought the premise was a bit weak as surely they'd be able to follow a river or smoke and find SOME civilization and therefore get back to their route. Oh well, at 10 years old I didn't particularly care.
I read they stitched episodes together to make a movie titled The Wackiest Wagon Train in the West
NEVER SAW ANY OF THOSE SHOWS, not until seeing them here.
Supertrain evolved to Snowpiercer! ;)
The android in that Sherlock Holmes show went on to play Herman on the early 90s Munsters.
He was also in McMillan and wife with Rock Hudson and Jill St James. He’s done plenty of work over the decades. He was the Klingon Ambassador in ST III.
Trivia: He made his debut in the original M.A,S.H movie.
I grew up watching Hee Haw with my grandparents when I stayed with them on Saturday night and I wouldn't trade those memories for anything on earth.
Yes, the original “Hee Haw” was hilarious. Sure, the jokes were corny, but still funny.😂
I liked Hee Haw a LOT more than 'All in the Family' or 'Happy Days' after it became the 'Fonzie Show'.
Yep, great old Saturday Night memories as a kid, Hee-Haw!
Maybe they should have started a show that starred Richard Reed at Pat Moriarty. Maybe that would have worked. 😂
Wow, I lived through that era and never saw, nor heard of, any of these.
Fast Rule: Anything starring McLean Stevenson is automatically bad TV: Hello, Larry, In the Beginning, The McLean Stevenson Show...The horror, the horror.
My brother and I loved Hello, Larry 😂😂
Stevenson was in "MASH".
True, but not the star. @@dhenderson1810
He was great in MASH but sucked in everything else he was in, even he said "I guess it wasn't me they liked it was colonel Blake."
In an 'it's so bad it's god" sort of way I agree with you.@@traceynomatterwhat383
*NBC* saw "Love Boat" crushing it Saturday nights and tried to make their own version of a multi-story sitcom set on a massive mode of convenience and that's how we got "Supertrain." One episode even featured Dick Van Dyke.
Great List. I spent a lot of time before the television in the 70s, and I've only ever heard of one of these bad shows.
Holmes & Yoyo was underrated.
I loved Dustys Trail and was disappointed when it was cancled. There was also a show with California beach bums. I forgot the name of it. If anybody remembers please let me know. That didn’t last long either maybe a year. The song at the beginning of the show was a catchy tune and I still remember part of it. But all the other shows that were top shows I loved.
"The San Pedro Beach Bums"
I think it was Schools Out. That tune was catchy.
Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson did a cameo appearance on the show.
I remember Holmes and Yoyo. I liked it. Of course, I was just a kid, so I probably would have liked any show with an android in it.
BTW, Mike Brady was played by Robert Reed, not Richard Reed.
I loved “The Brady Bunch Hour” and “3’s A Crowd”, but these other shows , I never even heard of.
Okay, Nick, since you took and show this. I've done confessed every crime I've ever done. I've done confess to the IRS please. No more, I can't keep confessing everything.
As a teenager in the 1970's, I don't remember ANY of those 10!
Ditto me. 🤷🏼
I was 11 and just loved chimps, I wanted to have one dearly, I heard this series was coming out and could not wait. I loved the actor since he was in That Girl. Even as an 11 year old I was so bored, it was so bad.
The only one I've seen of these is The Brady Bunch Variety Hour, which ended up being better than I thought it would. TY for sharing this hilarious list. God Bless You & stay safe.
I think I'll do my own list of hated 1970's tv shows, thanks for the idea, I'll credit you as inspiration for my own show!
I remember Me and The Chimp and The Brady Bunch Hour! Plus, Supertrain! Good times in bad shows!
I remember Holmes & Yo Yo. Don’t remember why!😅
Same I was only like 3 or 4 years old but when they showed the actors, I remembered that guy being a robot lol
The same reason people remember kidney stones.
I remember and loved several of those. The 70s were a fast changing decade as things would come and go after just a half a season many times.
Pat Morita*
There was an attempt at a reboot of 3s a Crowd. It aired in 1999 and lasted five months.
Alan Thicke hosted it, and instead of wife/secretary, the pairings could vary (girlfriend/best friend, girlfriend/mother, etc).
I like Super Train when I was a kid because of the Train. Didn't realize how ridiculous it really was. Now the only thing that it's got for it was a catchy into theme. Heard of a few of them. Just never watched them. Have a blessed day everyone
Does anyone remember The Starlost with Kier Dullea ? It was a Canadian SciFi series that sadly failed in the U.S. market. I thought it was pretty darned good.
Low budget Sci fi, not very memorable
The Brady Bunch Hour, reminds me of the parody by The Simpsons in BEST OF episode.
I remember the ads for Supertrain, but never watched.
I was born in 1961 and I remember all of these! Personally, I thought the musical numbers on The Brady Variety Hour were the only good things about the show. Did you know Fake Jan wound up marrying Mason Reese, the 70s tv commercial child star? Anyway, I liked David Cassidy Man Undercover, saw reruns of it 10 years ago on USA and it held up! 😊
I don't agree with your choice of Dusty's Trail it actually was really good
BTW it's not Richard Reed it's Robert Reed who is Mike Brady in The Brady Bunch and The Brady Bunch hour variety show
Nick, forgot Manimal. Pee-YOO!
I don't remember any of these shows. I watched alot of TV in the 70's.
3's a Crowd was reality trash TV before reality trash TV came along (you forgot 1.98 beauty show). I actually liked Holmes & YoYot
LOL I can answer my own question about the San Pedro Beach Bums. I keep forgetting I have the whole internet at hand to find things. I also found the opening song on you tube and still remembered part of the lyrics. Too bad nobody posted a whole episode. I would love that. I was a teenaged girl in love with Boychic and probably others on the show.
I turned off The San Pedro Beach Buns after about five minutes.
David Cassidyt was NEVER a former child actor he was a teen idol. If I remember right, Man Undercover was a spinoff from the popular police drama Police Story. Somebody can correct me, but that's what I remember. The Police Story episode with David Cassidy did really well so they decided to make this story into a series of it's own, that didn't do so well.
You've given me my yt searches for today 😂
Pat Moriarty was awesome in Sherlock Holmes.
Out of all of them, the only ones I remember are Dusty's Trail and The Brady Bunch Hour. I watched both of them. I watched the Brady Bunch Hour with my mom, and neither one of us laughed. The humor was non existent, no matter how hard they pretended to be funny. I was born in 1963.
THREE'S A CROWD was the work of Chuck Barris, who also created THE DATING GAME, THE NEWLYWED GAME and THE GONG SHOW.
i was born in 71, so never seen any of them, stuff I saw were repeats of Little Rascals, 3 Stooges, I dream of Jeanie, 60s Batman, BeWitched, sanford and Son, Chico and Man, Benny Hilll and Three's Company to name a few. DId watch Gillians Island, but never heard of Dusty's Trail. I also seen Hee Haw, but never heard of the followup. I think I would have liked Dusty's Trail.
Supertrain was NBC's attempt to mimic the Love Boat.
pat moriarty???? it's pat morita
The only one that I watched was Supertrain, but for 20 minutes. It was bad. It was a take on the huge diaster movies like Airport, Towering Inferno, Posiedon Adventure.
Even as a 9-yo at the time, I remember being offended by the blatant laziness of reproducing exactly "Gilligan's Island" in the Old West without a shred of original thought.
6:27) It is Heave Haul. What is yelled to get the mules to pull.
Thankfully the only one of those ten stinkers I ever saw here in Australia was The Brady Bunch Hour.!!
I can proudly say I don’t remember any of these shows. I guess I was too busy watching the actual good ones.
The Brady Bunch Hour was way hyped!
Another stinker was 'The San Pedro Beach Bums'.
I watched them ALL; the Brady Bunch Hour was ?(and continues to be) a guilty pleasure, and Holmes and Yoyo featured Yvonne (Batgirl) Craig in two Guest appearances (she's a role model of mine as a child)
I graduated high school in 79 , right in the wheel house of growing up in the 70s........... I never saw any of these.
The TV must not have been your babysitter.
Nope, not really. In Jr. High I was in sports then got home to do my Paper route, then High School I was in sports, then went to work then home ...bed time and during the summers I wored and lived the whole summers working at a Boy Scout summer camp. Bury I guess.@@DonBair
Never saw any of them unless I blocked them from my memory because they were so bad.
I think super train was ahead of its time.. A few years ago we had Snowpiercer it was a massive hit
after watching the remainder of the video, i saw holmes and yoyo. as a kid i enjoyed it; whether i would like to see it now is debatable, but then i loved it.
Dusty's Trail and Holmes and Yo You were one of my favorite shows when I was a kid 😊
gratefully,I was spared,from these flops,while I wore,a HELMET,& carried a RIFLE,in GERMANY,1976-1979
How 'bout a little Roller Derby... Anyone?? 😅😅😂😂
As some have mentionned, the Brady patriarch was played by Robert Reed, not Richard. Just sayin'!!😎🇨🇦
I pity the fool who produced "Mr T and Tina".
In fact, it might have done better if it actually had the "A-Team" star in it.
Did you say Richard Reed? It's Robert Reed. No proofreaders available?
Absolutely agree 100% with this list.
All these shows still better than what's on today.
Luckily I do not recall any of those shows. 😮
I only remembered "Super Train", which I think the producers wanted to make a "The Love Boat" on train tracks sitcom & "Holmes & Yoyo" in which ( I think ) wanted ( the producers) to make a spin off of another "lost" '70s TV show- "Super Cop".
I was in my 20s in 1970 and I have not even heard of these shows.😊
I believe the retro channel Antenna TV aired reruns of "The Ropers", another "Three's Company" spinoff. I watched a few episodes of that.
Maybe the consolation prizes on "Three's A Crowd" were there to save the marriages?
I done remember that Show& enjoy watching it.
Supertrain - I remember this. Not really any plot details, just the show in general. It always stuck in my head because I've always loved trains, so naturally, I'd remember a show about a train. Fun fact: Shortly after the show was canceled, I started seeing ads in model railroad magazines advertising that the scale version of the train used in the show was for sale. I have no idea how much they were asking for it, but I know it wouldn't have been cheap. I wonder if anyone ever bought it, or if it got scrapped.
Holmes and Yoyo - Again, I remember this, but not any of the plots. I've always loved robots, so that's why this one stands out to me.
I never heard of any of these shows 😊
I watched Super Train, I think it was supposed to be The Love Boat on rails
Nope. My parents used the tv as a babysitter & I've never seen any of these 😅😅✌
Being from 1959, I grew up in the '70s. Most wonderful decade ever. But I never heard of a single one of those shows.
This was before my time..thank god.
The worse TV shows from the 1970’s are still better that the best shows today.
As a child of the 60’s and a young man of the 70’s I was prepared to be upset about some possibly bad mouthing of some of my favorite shows. But out of the 10 I only heard of one of them and that was Holmes and Yo-yo which I kinda liked. I’m glad that none of my favorites were on this list.
Where's Quark with Richard Benjamin? The worst attempt at a Sci Fi T.V. show in history. Look it up, there's episodes here on UA-cam.
I actually liked Holmes and Yoyo.
