CycleChat investigates - Dreadful sitcoms

[Drago]

There have been some dreadful, awful, truly appalling sitcoms over the years. Most of the worst seem to be on ITV.

So which is the worst? The world demands an answer!

For me, Butterflies is right up there. A yawn a second.

Birds of a feather, what a load of sh*t

So many dreadful sitcoms, sadly only 10 possible poll options

Out of the options given, I'd go for Men Behaving Badly. It was aimed at roughly my demographic at the time (I'm younger than both actors by almost ten years, but let's be kind to them). And yet I always found it embarrassing, even then, that having men behave in a late 70s / early 80s way was still supposed to be considered funny in the 90s.

Personally, I find most older American sitcoms, like Frasier, Friends, Cheers , Golden Girls etc to have been every bit as awful as the worst of British. They are so formulaic that you know exactly when the punchline is coming. A says something, B responds and C comes in with a punchline ..... time after time .... and all with canned laughter. I would make exceptions for M.A.S.H, Scrubs, Bakersfield PD and Brooklyn Nine Nine, all of which I would confess to enjoying. Couldn't name another American one that isn't absolute garbage.

Oh, and Shelley was dog sh*t.

"Wyatt's watchdogs" with Brian Wilde. Sorry its not on your list @Drago but I have to nominate it it's so utterly dire. Oh, and "Sorry", actually, there really are too many to list, but "Wyatt's watchdogs" is the stuff of nightmares!

Mrs. Brown's Boys.

Close the thread.

Bzzt. Not dreadful (but truly shocking) and it's not old as implied by other options.

Terry and June?

Contraversial: I'm very very bored of Only Fools and Horses.

Not dreadful? I'll have some of what you're smoking.
