Your vote for worst show currently on TV.
And a brief description please.

So I was watching E! (I guess I brought this on myself) and there was this horrid show called "The Entertainer."

I guess it's like "The Real World" meets "American Idol" with Wayne Newton in the the roll of a 21st Century Donald Trump/Paula Abdul.

The contestants live in a gaudy penthouse & put on these cheesy music shows & talk about how Wayne Newton has been their idol since they were 3 or 11 and whatnot.

Then Wayne will say "you're not cut out for this" or "your choice of song was inexcusable" and the girls start crying or whatever. :eyes:

Turn OFF the TV Steve, turn it OFF! AHHH!



Ok, your turn. :7

10. Fear Factor came immediately into my mind
I've never watched it, but I know enough about it to know it's awful. I can't imagine who watches it . . . probably preteen boys (they go for the gross stuff.)

15. I agree
I don't know enough about current tv shows to know which is really the worst. But Fear Factor is pretty well-known and has to be around the bottom of the ladder.

13. ALF Hits Talk Show on TV Land...
I tuned into this show by accident last weekend and I cannot imagine anything worse.

Remeber ALF? Well, he now has how own David Letterman style talk show. He sits behind a desk and tells jokes, interviews guests, etc. It was frightening!!!

17. Joey....and I really wanted it to be good.
The spin off from Friends with Matt LeBlanc. He seems like a decent guy and I wanted him to succeed in this endeavor. :hi:

20. It's not that bad....
But it's not that great either. I'd probably go with anything they show on the Sci-Fi channel, save Stargate SG1.
Hey Laura! Hope life is good! :hi:

19. Desperate Housewives
I know I am going to get flamed for this, but I really don't see what is so good about it!

To me it perpetuates the myth that all women of means are back stabbing, desperate, sex filled airheads.....

Not my bag at all.

25. Sorry, I Forgot Fox and Friends
First time I saw it, I thought it was a bad SNL skit.

Only the Onion, or SNL could do better satire, but these folks aren't trying to be funny. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard.

29. Hardball
I realized a while ago that a spitting, crack-snorting hamster who thinks he speaks for us isn't quality TV. I hope someday one of his guests gets up and walks off.
