Worst TV shows of all time

[Steve1956]

Fake Laughter is awful...."celebrities" = Fake.

Richards is a professional fake Laugher ...... last night was cringeworthy

[claptrappers_union]

...she loves programme's like X Factor, Strictly and I'm a Celeb as they require no thinking whatsoever and give her time to switch off. There's something for everyone.

And that my problem. I like to engage my brain when being entertained. **** television. I can’t entertain people who go into work during the week talking about that ****.

[Bosscat]

ITV are trying hard to beat Danny %$#@ing Dyers "The Waull" ...

Ashley Bungup and Fleur Easy and "The Void"... makes "Total Wipeout" look like the Krypton Factor


Oh dear Oh dear Oh dear

[Middle-agedClaret]

I know it’s been mentioned before, but …The Wall is dire beyond belief.

[kentonclaret]

3 of them were probably on tonight

[bfcjg]

The void has to be the most dire, tedious,recycled crappy idea with dull non entity presenters that has ever been given a prime time tv slot, it was on in the background whilst I was watching the lawn grow as a more entertaining evenings viewing, I could sense how crap it actually was as every now and then my wife would go oh no they have fallen into the void and then nod off at least put some piranha fish in the void to liven this dire sh1te up.

[yTib]

...still on the buses.

[Steve1956]

Coming soon.....Take off with Bradley & Holly only seen a short snippet of it.....but its going to be shite

[Zom Zom]

Anything that relates to making celebs out of nobodies.

[Bosscat]

Well ITV are doing their damndest to trump everyone on the sh**test TV gameshow of all time ... tonight Ian Wright with "Moneyball" ... thought "The Waullll" was poor ... Paddy Mceffinguiness and "catchpoint" total boolox but WOW ITV have hit rock bottom with "Moneyball" itssss soooooo slowwwww

[Peter Loo]

The apprentice: a programme to make other people look small and inadequate.

[timshorts]

I've missed this thread. Glad to see it resurrected with some new shitt.
I've no idea what moneyball is, but I'm sure we've not hit rock bottom yet. Just as there are probably more comic book characters to make lame films out of, I am sure that there are more slot machine pier games to make pathetic large scale TV programmes out of.

Celebrity psychic bingo, maybe?
A big glass bottle full of celebrities where if you can name one good thing that they might have done for society, you get to pick one out with a crane and some metal prongs that drop them back in when at 40 feet?
A fixed horse racing game?

[bartonscigar]

This thread should have ended with Mrs Browns boys


It’s absolutely dreadful.

I once decided to watch one episode. I went in open minded but knew that it probably wasn’t for me because I’m not a brexit voting anti vaxer.

It started badly when a doctor came round to give the grandad a rectal thermometer. Predictably it got stuck. I can’t remember the rest of the show but I remember I had guessed the entire course of the episode in the first couple of minutes. The main punch like is it’s a bloke dressed as a women saying things an old women wouldn’t say. Breaking the third wall frequently happened. All that added was the increase rage I was feeling.

I assume O’Carroll hasn’t watched extras which predates Mrs Browns Boys and mocks the type of sh*te Mrs Browns boys serves up.

It’s the worst type of comedy. Although not overly offensive at face value it is extremely offensive to anyone who enjoys actually comedy. It’s a throwback to the 70s but not in a good way like listening to queen.

After watching the one and only episode I could managed I was so angry that someone made that. Even more baffling is that people lap it up. As a social experiment the show has at least shown what happens when you defund the education system. The millions of people who enjoy this show is one of the reasons I would be content by extra-terrestrials blowing up the planet

****** myself reading this spot on

[Shaggy]

Some of the people on here having a go at Mrs browns boys is unbelievable. It’s brilliant.

There could be another one tonight

“Sitting on a Fortune” hosted by Gary Lineker

You just know it's going to be Shite...avoid at all cost!

We saw this in the TV schedules and said exactly the same as others ...

One to be avoided

[SalisburyClaret]

Sorry but just to return to the very beginning of the thread- despite many worthy and new contenders, the worst show remains Strictly Come Dancing. Whoever came up with the idea of taking some almost celebrities, painting them orange and making idiots of them by teaming them with professional dancers suffering from a deadly virus is a sheer genius.

[Steve1956]

Sunday November 21st "I'm a bellend with no talent and a bit skint get me out of here"starts that should guarantee our television won't be getting switched on much....trash television at its worst.

[elwaclaret]

I made the mistake of tuning into Bradley Walsh’s new show Blankety-blank with little expectation but an open mind. Les Dawson it aint.

He is on the Telly far to much ... bit like Alex Scott who starts an afternoon game show tomorrow on BBC 1 ...

[Squarepusher]

Keith Chegwin's Naked Jungle. I wish I'd been at the meeting where that got the green light. I'd love to know what the hell they were thinking.

[aclaretinstevenage]

Mrs Brown's Boy.

End of thread ha ha

Absolutely correct.

[Bosscat]

Anyone watch Linekers "Sitting on a fortune" is it as diabolical as it sounds from the blurb in the Sunday magazines

[Bin Ont Turf]

99% of American sitcoms.

Most of the people watching this wouldn’t have given Come Dancing the time of day ( in fact it was on at a low peak time) but as it has minor attention seeking ‘celebs’ on its now of interest. Dreadful programme but as mentioned above this thread should have ended with Mrs Brown.

[SouthLondonexile]

Blankety Blank with Wogan and Everitt

[Wile E Coyote]

going to add North West Tonight (but just for tonight)

presenter just said.."If you don't want to know the football scores, and want to wait for match of the day, then look away now"

so I did, then she read them out . !!

Why did reading this make me imagine a Two Ronnies sketch.

[Bosscat]

It was a sketch on a Comedy Show wasn't it I remember that ... bit like "The Likely Lads" trying to avoid the result of a football match

[tiger76]

It definitely rings a bell from somewhere, I just can't recall from where.

The Likely Lads episode is a classic, and the punchline was really clever after all their guessing about what the headline could be,

I think you're right about "The Two Ronnies" I think it was on their "and now heres the news" bit, at the end of the show ...am sure I remember it too .

[Untinted Glasses]

(1)anything with mcguiness in, unwatchable and talk about how to wreck the classic question of sport, thats just shockingly bad
(2) worzel gummidge
(3)mrs browns boys

[bfcjg]

At the moment anything with the Hairy Bikers in is uttercshite, two prancing prima donnas waxing lyrical about a bl0ody egg oozing out over a perfectly well cooked kipper can only be rehashed for so long before you realise they cannot cook and if they could why the F does it need two overweight lumps of lard showing the nation how to make soup one puts the carrots in the other one puts the potatoes in etc The geordie one when they do taste something cooked by a proper cook often says ooowwww what a delicious plate of loveliness, what's that all about and the other one puckers his lips and will utter some sh1te about oh yes I can taste all the flavours coming through that's amazing whilst the fat geordie looks on as though his mate has cracked the key to cold nuclear fusion.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

I suppose its all subjective and down to personal taste, but Eldorado has to be up there with brass wasted, longevity and utter utter sh!tness.

Who in their right minds would have Danish, Dutch , German etc speaking actors in a program which doesn't then provide subtitles

[kentonclaret]

Seems to be a given now that if you are a football presenter you are automatically given a crap game show to host like Alex Scott, Gary Lineker and Ian Wright.

[evensteadiereddie]

Especially if you're a popular and successful football presenter or pundit as these three are, like it or not.

[wilks_bfc]

I’ve just switched on the TV and it was on, asking the question “In which body of water is the Bermuda Triangle”

The answer she gave was “Loch Ness”

[Bosscat]

Yup thats why its up there with "Worst TV shows of all time"

[Bosscat]

Well Saturdays are getting bad again ... Michael McIntyres The Wheel returns ... what next "The Wall" at least Danny Dyer has quit

[SouthLondonexile]

The Cambridge love in - Pointless! - Time for its retirement.

[Elbarad]

Mountain Monsters

Though to be fair the episode where it looked like they had finally captured a chupacabra in a homemade trap until Bigfoot showed up and broke it free was pretty funny.

[Cirrus_Minor]

Anything with Ant and Deck in it, including , in fact especially, that embarrassing Santander advert.

[Inchy]

Mrs Brown's Boy.

End of thread ha ha

This thread ended on the second post yet people continue.


Remember that no matter how bad James Corden is, or ant and dec are, just remember. Please remember. Nothing is as utter **** as Mrs browns boys

[Hipper]

Do people still watch live TV these days?

I record all except live football, news or weather, then watch when it suits me. This allows me to fast forward through something I thought might be interesting to see if it ever does get interesting - not to mention the adverts (which of course can be more entertaining than the programme).

Hardly use ITV player (All4, My5 etc) to watch programmes as you can't FF through the ads ... so tend to record ITV etc stuff but use BBC iPlayer for BBC stuff.

I'd rather watch MBB than the reality tv shite they call programmes these days.

[Big Vinny K]

I'd rather watch MBB than the reality tv shite they call programmes these days.

I think what you meant to say is that you’d rather switch the TV off and go for a nice walk or read a book than watch reality tv shite or the abomination that is Mrs Browns Boys

We’ll put it down to predictive text !!

[CaptJohn]

I must be missing something here because my TV has a remote control with an "off" button and other buttons that change channels
