As someone who watches…three to four hours of television a day, it’s hard for me to acknowledge that any television is bad television: I watched every single episode of Suddenly Susan. But, obviously, some television is terrible, even if we are confining ourselves to, say, sitcoms and dramas, and not taking into account the magnificent scope of reality television.

To spark a sprightly morning conversation on this topic, I invite you to peruse Wikipedia’s “List of television series notable for negative reception” and to do so quickly, as it is unjustly slated to be condensed.

What is the very worst series OR single episode of a series, in your very personal opinion?

Also, the government shut down, which we can discuss as well.

P.S. Did you know that the much-maligned My Mother the Car was the brainchild of two dudes who picked themselves up, dusted themselves off, and went on to create The Mary Tyler Moore Show? True story. Let it never be said there are no second acts in American lives.
