Subject: The most hated tv show of the 90s

Borrowing from a thread in another forum...What's the worst tv show in the 90's?

I thought that Dinosaurs show was pretty bad...you know...the one that originated that "not the momma" catch phrase.  ::)

Hey, I loved Dinosaurs! It was an original idea and I thought it worked pretty good.

Anyway, I can't stand Roseanne. I don't know what it is, I just can't watch that show.

Beverly Hills 90210 sucked.  

That show started the annoying teen soap opera craze.

Saved by the Bell was pretty bad, but it was a real guilty pleasure of mine, so I can't really knock it.

If I can put in talk shows, I'd have to go with Jerry Springer.  I mean, I can watch it sometimes, but it just really gets on my nerves, plus it spawned all the other talk show hosts such as Maury, Jenny, Ricki etc.

Just about all of them except "Friends" and "Seinfeld", but the all time worst is "Dharma And Greg". "Will And Grace" sucks too, but at least that has the intriguing match-up of straight-gay characters. What's Dharma's excuse? ::)

But "My So Called Life" was critically acclaimed.  Maybe you're just a harsher critic than most, which is all good.

Roseanne definitely rubbed me the wrong way...as in with 50 grit sandpaper.

I remember "My So Called Life" airing on ABC though.  At least originally.  It was indeed a good series.

I really like the comedian Billy Conolly but during the 90s he briefly had a bad sitcom out in America , which I think was just called 'Billy' .It was just so not funny

I always thought that TV in the 90's pretty much sucked all the way around.  But, if I had to pick a worst of the worst, my vote would go to X-Files.  I only watched one episode and it was so throughly disgusting that I never watched it again.

(Note: The one episode I watched was about some inbred family in Pennsylvania where three sons were having sex with their mother.)

For males you'd figure a show with superhot babes as lead characters would appeal and for females the soapish story lines should've held interest, but Models Inc may have had the worst chemistry i'd heard of.

Howard Stern's show was about as low as it got.  Although it's hard not to linger a bit when you hit it while tube surfing.

For instance, I feel bad about humanity when I see a middle-aged midget and a Las Vegas whoore arranging his defloration... and then the after-the-deed interview (damn that little fellow had a big smile...)
Another one I remember was the "small weiner" episode, where NYC residents got in line and waggled their small... you know.  The contest, I guess it was a contest, was to see who was smallest.  Stern's got one degenerate show.

Talk shows Talk shows Talk shows. Cannot stand them and Springer is the worst.

Most of them. I realized that during the 90s was when I stopped watching t.v. like I used to. I think if the question was what's the BEST show of the 90s, the list would be smaller.

-Seinfeld-IMO the most overrated unfunny show EVER. Jerry Seinfeld completely sucks as a comedian.  Not funny, period.

-Springer, Ricki Lake, Maury, etc.  oh and especially Richard Bey-such a disgusting show

-MTV-completely different (and crappy) network in the 90s than it was in its heyday back in the early/mid 80s

Worst Tv Shows: Darhma and Greg, Sabrina The Teenage Witch(I thought this was the worst), Jerry Springer, MTV which started to stink in 99(MTV was ok in 98 before they fabricated Britney Spears's popularity just to make money and get good ratings), I used to watch Ricki Lke and Geraldo in 1994 and than I realized how stupid and pointless those shows were. Seinfeld was alright(You either loved it or you hated it.) The reality series stuff I hate and I have never watched a minute of it because something like eating worms is gross. TV has gone downhill since 96. Thats when "Fresh Prince of Bel Air went off, TGIF went of the air on ABC. The late 90's was just full of pointless shows. I think once the reality shows runs its course we will see better TV. The Talk show stuff didn't last long in the media spotlight. They are still a few on but not in the spotlight. The real trend now is cops and law shows, and also judge shows(Mills Lance, Joe Brown, and Judge Mathis can be humurous at times.)

I think once the reality trash sorta dies down and people become sane again, shows will get better... but until then... TV will suck  :-/

I think the reality shows were of the 2000s for the most part...
As for my picks of the litter(meaning trash):
*Talk shows of course
*I actually liked saved by the bell when I was in the 6th grade.  after that, I just sorta stopped.
*Most late 90s animated shows, and early 90s too.  Nearly everything from Tom & Jerry Kids(91) to Sabrina the animated series(99).
*MTV did start going low except Beavis & Butthead, which got cancelled too soon
*Most Nicktoons, aside from Ren & Stimpy, Rocko, & Spongebob
*That british animated series on NBC... I didn't care too much for that.  Oh, but the critics LOVED it.
*Who wants to be a millionaire?  does that count?  It was real late 1999, but it gained momentum in 2000...

That's all I could think of

Since someone brought it up...what happened to MTV anyway? The odds of you finding an actual music video when flipping thru channels is very slim. I know this has been for years this way but I always wondered why they went with the game show/ kiddie pop format??? Does anyone know? And, does anyone know if there are any music channels that just show music videos? Because VH1 is just as  bad although I seem to be able to stomach VH1 better than MTV. If you do let me know so I can hound our local cable provider for it.  ;D Man, I can remember like in 84 and 85 sitting around mesmerized by the videos.... :-/

Oh let's see...
Pretty much any of the talk shows but Jerry Springer and Howard Stern have to be the worst.
I also never could see the point of Baywatch, V.I.P.'s and any other show with Pamela Anderson and her very ample cleavage.  Is that really entertainment??  Sorry guys.  Just my opinion of course.  :)

I have a channel on my cable called muchmusic.  Most of the stuff on there is not mainstream, though.  I don't think I've ever seen a show on there, except maybe a countdown.

Oh I long for those good old days of MTV.  What a waste it has become.  Its barely a shade of its former self.  We now have a whole generation of kids who have no idea of what MTV was actually all about.  How I used to watch MTV practically all day,every day.  Now I cant stand to watch more than 3 minutes at once.
