Worst TV series ever?

[asterix]

The programs I loathe the most are the 'Location, locatii....zzzzzzzzzz) programs. Once every one connected with those has been done away with we can start on those responsible for Soaps.

As for Triangle, I was working in Felixstowe Docks when that was going and never watched an episode.

I nominate Dynasty - but only by a close margin over Dallas.

I think it was the Grauniad critic who once quipped "Dynasty - and maybe live nasty too ...." Stuck in my memory.

 

[Cletus Van Damme]

The X-Factor

Take Me Out

Any of that reality sh1t about Jordan, Kerry Catona, Paris Hilton, Peaches Geldoff or any other air head. I honestly do not know whom watches this utter, utter sh1te.

Then again you could take my TV, as apart from BBC nature series, DVD boxsets, and the odd film I do not watch it, it's so bad.

Didn't Wogan (or someone) occasionally refer to it as Dysentery ?

Last of The Summer Wine. End of thread

I think the early series were quite good - quiet, dry humour. Then it became slapstick and silly...

My vote goes to Howards Way

 

[surfdude]

the new bbc si-fi series on at the moment .watched it twice & cant remember its name its that good

 

[Silver Fox]

East Bloody Enders. It's just so depressing.

Triangle was clearly a special case. Quite extraordinarily naff.

In recent times 5's 'Don't Stop Believing' was breathtakingly, squirm-inducingly bad. Beyond squirm. I tuned in wondering what the fuss was about and could not watch - it was all too embarrassing.

Hollyoaks and Hollyoaks Unleashed are completely horrible. ITN's News at Ten is just ghastly, especially when Steve Austin is doing it - you cannot escape the impression that he is really dim and simply reading the autocue. I'm with Surfdude on the BBC science fiction thing - and, no I can't remember the name of the thing.

Older forummers will remember a programme devoted to sheepdogs herding sheep. Quite incredible.

For me it's got to be anything with Noel Edmon in it, East Enders and Doctor who.

 

[bauldbairn]

High Road.....There was sort of a running joke that said that if any of the characters ever tried to commit suicide by jumping off the pier, then they would land on a jetski.

I'd outlaw the lot if I could.

Weren't the council trying to do that at some point???

Oi! One man and his dog was strangely facinating!

I found a novelisation of Triangle in a charity shop once, it was as bad as the series...

 

[Melvil]

I think for me it is a toss-up between Spooks and Outcasts on the beeb - both by the same TV production company - god, it's like Cold Feet in space / in MI5, only without the laughs and interest. You feel that any one of the characters - at any time - could be transplanted into the local school governers meeting or a branch of M & S and not be out of place in any way.

I think they're (Stephen Fry coined this phrase) arse gravy of the highest calibre.

 

[beanzontoast]

I nominate Crossroads. I really do.

A vote for Howards Way, truly bad, although some of the Australian soaps are very close in the bad acting stakes.
