Worst sitcom you've ever seen?

[The Convict]

Everybody Loves Raymond

Just Shoot Me

Dharma & Greg


ugh, such generic trash.

[GNR_Green]

I'd vote for 75% of all the sitcoms I've seen as bing trash.  Friends would be my no.1 choice due to the fact it's so overrated.  I can't think of any American sitcoms I've actually laughed at to be honest.  Why can America do great comedy films, yet can't make its sitcoms even remotely witty or entertaining?  They're all the same pretty much, a few 18-30 year olds living in some apartment or whatever talking crap.

Britain is the place for good comedy.  The Office, The League of Gentlemen and Monkey Dust are my recent faves, although look back and you get Only Fools and Horses, Bottom, The Young Ones, Blackadder (the best), Harry Enfield was good for a while... a few more that I can't think of but all wipe the floor with stuff like Friends and Frasier.  But before anyone says it, yes Britain has produced its fair share of bollocks over the years as well!!!

i agree on friends, it is the most overrated show in the history of tv. its boring, weak predictable PC humor. how it became so popular has to be one of the worlds great mystaries. everyone loves raymond is awful as well, so is 8 simple rules, 2 guys a girl and a pizza place, full house, threes company, i guess i could go on for a while, most sitcoms are awful

I'm surprised Everybody Loves Raymond and Will & Grace are so successful in the US. I think it's very odd, considering they are definitely below mediocre. Then again, since shows like Seinfeld, Friends and Frasier aren't running anymore, it's understandable some shows have to be at the top, whatever their quality.

[Jim]

Yes! I was just about to post that. Will and Grace is awful, awful awful.

[Metallifuck]

BBC now produce the worst sitcoms like My Family and All About Me (which has taken a sledgehammer to Jasper Carrot's talent and dignity).

Garth Marengi's Darkplace is visual silk and it's hilarious.

Meh, you first two (or three, was it?) posters are just trying to be cool.

How can you make a statement like that? You have no idea of my personal tastes, or, to that matter, the other people who feel the same way. Friends is bloody awful at times, it makes me cringe. Sometimes it's good and I don't deny that I've watched probably 50% of the episodes made, but on the whole it's appauling, and I resent the accusation that I'm "trying to be cool". You can't make judgements like that, simply because you can't believe that somebody might have totally different tastes to you! There have been times when I've quite enjoyed Friends, and in the past have found other sit-coms much worse, but it became so dumb and pathetic, and in its heyday it was only average. It's got no guts, it tries to teach morals, the actors come across quite insincere, and frequently display unbelievable lack of talent and originality - mainly towards the end of it's lifespan. Disagree with me/us, fine, but you're deluded if you think I would ever claim to hate Friends just to be "cool".

edited to add: Spaced is quite possibly my favourite sit-com ever  Of course, I'm only saying that because it's a fairly obscure and unconventional sit-com, and I want people to think I'm cool.

8 simple rules is cool because the girl that appears there is hot dont you think?

i agree that alot of the sitcoms are crap because they use the same formula , friends indeed is overrated. but there are good shows like scrubs,king of queens , arrested development.

i dont remember tha name if this show was like a teenager with an anyoing voice and a big nose , horrible show.

Are you talking about Blossom?

[kira]

i have to agree with some people i think friends isn't all that good.

[The New Fiona Apple]

Webster I thought sucked.

No, just no

[matt88]

Man so many here dislike friends. I thought i was gonna cop it big time

[Rain]

For the french members here : the worst french sitcom ever might be "H?l?ne et les Gar?on" ...

And the worst american sitcom ever for me is "The Nanny" ...

"le miel et les abeilles"  "Salut les muscl?s"

I really liked the first seasons ... I kept following til the end though ... it was like a weekly appointement ... even if I liked it a little less.


Le miel et les abeilles, les muscl?s ... all these mega shitty sitcoms were all AB products ... so it's kinda the same level than H?l?ne et les Gar?ons... While working there I learnt that they sold it to Japan ....

All About Me (which has taken a sledgehammer to Jasper Carrot's talent and dignity).

Is that the one with the cripple?  Cause that was gonna be my vote.

Can people please, please stop uttering Frasier's name in this thread?  Even if you don't agree with me that it is the perfect sitcom, it certainly isn't close to being one of the worst.

You don't think Frasier got really bad by the end?  They just kept recycling the same story lines.  How many times could Frasier meet a great woman and screw it up?  How many times was he harrassed by some other radio personality?  It got really old.

[Danny Top Hat]

Yeah, I guess that story did get a bit old, but I didn't get bored once.  I really liked the last season - if not the funniest, I thought it was the funnest.  You've gotta love the one where they got stoned, surely!

[nesquick]

the girl called "justine" in "hel?ne et les gar?ons" was at the school at 2 minutes of my home. I think I saw her once or twice while she was going to school.
Emma De Caunes also used to live really closed to where I live. But I don't know if she moved since. I think so. Cute girl?

[MadmanDan]

Fuck all of you, I like Friends!!!!  Of course it's shit compared to Seinfeld or Married with children,but it's still better than most sitcoms
