So the other day I was scrolling through TV shows Netflix, and I came across Bob's Burgers. I had seen it advertised on Fox numerous times, so I decided I'd give it a shot. I figured it couldn't be that bad.

Well, I figured wrong. The entire time I was watching (I watched a couple episodes just to give it a fair diagnosis) I wondered how this horrendously awful show ever got aired in the first place.

What was even more surprising to me was that they released a second season. Are there really people watching this show? I don't understand what the appeal is. Is it supposed to be funny? Because if it is, I can honestly say I have never seen a show that has failed harder in the humor department.

There's my miniature rant for the day, so aside from that, I'm leaving you with this question here:

What do you think is the worst show on TV?

That's actually my wife's favorite show, or at least current show (her favorite is My Name Is Earl). I don't find Bob's Burgers to be all that bad, in fact I get a chuckle out of it here and there.

My vote for worst show on TV? Geez, I don't even know. I don't like very many TV shows.. I guess the one I've always hated the most is Survivor. Number one because it is/was so freaking popular I couldn't stand it. And number two, though I've never actually watched any length of any episode, I'm guessing there is very little actual surviving going on.

Lol, I've never actually watched that show, but from what I'm hearing from you, I almost feel the need to watch it just to see if it's as bad as you say it is! xD

For shows that are on today, the ones that come to mind are the dramas ABC Family comes up with, such as The Secret Life, Pretty Little Liars, Make It or Break It... etc. They're all too dramatic to be taken seriously! I also have to give honorable mentions to most of the reality shows aired on MTV... you can't help but wonder what's actually real and what's all a gag to get more viewers!

For shows that are no longer on TV or have stopped making new episodes, the prize for worst show goes to Dark Shadows. It's horribly put together, and that includes the actors as well as the screenplay. You can watch one episode and you'll think it was created in a middle school film class!

Well, I don't think that it's excactly the WORST show you've ever seen on TV there must be even worse shows than that. Like "teletubies".

Well I agree with you, it looks horrible.

But the worst shows, hmmm...So many bad ones to choose between. I guess I would have to go with the Bachelor and the Bachelorette. Both are pointless and dumb shows. Why would I want to see two people get married just to break up a month or two later. It is stupid and should be eliminated.

Actually it's impossible to find the worst or the best show because there are millions of TV shows that we haven't seen. Thumbs if you agree with me.

Two words. JERSEY SHORE. That show is terrible!! I mean what does it teach kids? If you go out and drink, party, get laid, get pregnant, you're living the "life" ? Idk.. I hate that show. I just mostly hate MTV.. I mean 16 and Pregnant or Teen Mom? Wtf? Those shows are also terrible. -.-

I just stick to cartoons like spongebob and kid stuff xD But another show that bugs me, is Friends. Idk why but I don't like that show. There are too many shows that I don't like but this should tell you the ones I really hate xD

Jersey Shore (total garbage), Operation Repo (Operation Retard), Lizard Lick (100% redneck and unintelligent) Hardcore Pawn, and other garbage featuring riches and their ridiculous excess.
I don't understand why people like those substandard shows.
I didn't know how many people I disliked before these ridiculous and useless shows and how prejudiced I was toward them. The worst is that they're convincing me that I'm right. :O

I thought of another show currently being aired that I can't stand... "The New Girl" starring Zooey Deschanel. Again, the problem I have with it is the humor. Unlike Bob's Burgers, however, I can understand that the humor in this show is aimed entirely at females, so I can understand why me, a supposed male, would not be able to tolerate it.

I don't find Bob's Burgers to be all that bad, in fact I get a chuckle out of it here and there.


How you managed that even once is astounding to me. You must have a very, very, very flexible sense of humor. I can't even bring myself to smile during that show.

Lol, I've never actually watched that show, but from what I'm hearing from you, I almost feel the need to watch it just to see if it's as bad as you say it is!


If you have 23 minutes of your life that you just absolutely feel the need to throw away, go ahead and watch Bob's Burgers. Otherwise, I would advise against it.

the dramas ABC Family comes up with, such as The Secret Life, Pretty Little Liars, Make It or Break It... etc. They're all too dramatic to be taken seriously!


The worst is "Switched at Birth". Nothing but cliches. I laughed out loud when I found out one of the girls was deaf.

the prize for worst show goes to Dark Shadows


That show is so bad it's funny, because it's not supposed to be funny. It's the other way around with shows that are supposed to be funny.

Like "teletubies".


I can at least see why a toddler may enjoy it. I can't remember much about being a toddler, but I'm sure I would have watched it and enjoyed had it been on when I was 2 years old. Which means that, hypothetically, it has the potential for me to have possibly enjoyed it at some point during my life.

I cannot, however, see myself ever enjoying Bob's Burgers or The New Girl at any age.

I hate that show. I just mostly hate MTV.. I mean 16 and Pregnant or Teen Mom? Wtf? Those shows are also terrible. -.-


Yes, they are. But they don't have scripts as far as the general public knows, so technically they can't be compared fairly to written shows in the humor department.

I do agree with you there, though; I have absolutely no interest in watching people live their lives no matter how much money or how little IQ points they have.

Switch to MTV and you get to see the worst show ever, followed by the second worst show ever, followed by the new worst show ever, followed by a marathon of a show tied for first worst show ever!

I remember back when Toonami was still around there was this show called Bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo. Or something like that. Don't ever watch even 5 minutes of it, you'll want to kill yourself.

I warned you.

The worst for me are Storage Wars and American Pickers. If I wanted to watch a show about a bunch of idiots buying and selling useless junk, well... I'd probably question my own sanity.

They're all essentially the same show. Stupid people behaving stupidly so the stupid people watching will feel less stupid.

But as facepalm-worthy as reality shows are, they still aren't as painful for me to watch as shows that try so hard to be funny and fail at it every time.

Boredom > Painful

there was this show called Bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo.


One of the two anime shows I ever enjoyed. That show was so ridiculously random that I laughed out loud multiple times during every episode I watched. I rarely laugh out loud so consistently, so I obviously found it utterly hilarious.

You have no taste >.<

That show was so ridiculously random


Random? It was a buff guy with a blond afro who fought with his mustache. It made me want to throw up. Not to mention that even the name of it is super annoying. SOOOOOO bad...I feel horrible even remembering it.

Pretty much the majority of "science" and "history" shows that air on the Discovery and History channel.
