    anyone else think that Chop Sucky Chooks is the Worst TV Show Ever? If not, what’s your vote/rant?

    EDIT: LOL. It’s taken me a week to figure out it should be Chop Socky Chooks. Then again, the goof was more accurate.

    Anything with a persistent, constant laugh track…

    Also anything on MTV.

    Star Trek: Enterprise. Not because it’s such a bad show on its own (it is, but there are worse ones), but because it was supposed to continue the legacy of one of the greatest shows ever made.

    How many upgrades can you give Bella? She’s version 0.01 actress-style, so she’s got a way to go!

    What’s the best style for Charlie’s moustache? Handlebar, French-waxed, walrus, or just as is? More points for the more flowers used!

    The show isn't that bad. But still, it's hard to keep suspense when we already know what's going to happen to most of the characters.
  15.  

    What happened to the Droids? In Phantom Menace they were pretty bad shots, but in a large group they could hold their own. Then it all started rolling down hill from there :(

  16.  

    Oh, I completely forgot about Boobah. I don’t loathe it with quite the intense hatred that I have against Enterprise, but it’s absolutely hideous (think Teletubbies, but even dumber and trippier).

    I was always afraid of that show as a kid.

    Barney was the bane of my life. My sisters had the one Barney video and they'd play it. Over and over andoverandoveragain!!!

    I personally don't mind stuff with a laugh track. I will admit that Hannah Montana actually had some okay (as in, not loony) episodes. But the thing where a character goes 'oh, I'm so macho' and then turns around and says, 'hey, free baby bunnies to a good home! I want twelve!'... that gets a bit old. The best bits were the parts without Miley Cyrus in them, as mean as that sounds.
  20.  

    Ugh, Teletubbies. I sit down with my nephew to spend some time with him, and I see four abominations cavorting around with the vengefull gaze of an infant god giggling at their vain attempts to appease its wrath.

    No, there is an episode when he is introduced to the class and a kid yells, “Go back to Russia!”

    Edit: I know he’s British people, that wasn’t lost on me. It was just to see how many people would go “Oh, I remember that episode.” Apparently, none do.

  44.  

    Obviously the kid was an idiot who would have said the same thing to someone with a French accent and a beret. Also, “Just because I’m British doesn’t mean I’m gay!”
