The only reason I remember "Manimal" is because Johnny Carson did jokes about it every night for like a week or two. I don't recall ever seeing it. Boy, if that doesn't show my age. Hard to believe Carson has been off tv for 15 years already.

MattyD, thems is fightin' words! "Automan" was that shiznit!!

Remember that episode of "The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer" where Jefferson Jefferson tried to build a 'Whiter House of the Future' accross the street from the White House?

"Small Wonder" wasn't all that bad.

Lucyfan, I have watched three of the four "Cavemen" episodes that have aired and I found them to be every bit as bad as the buzz.
Personally, I would say it deserves to be on this list.

I can't stand Worst lists. Are you so mean that you really have to compile and post a list of things you hate?

Hmmm Automan never made it to this list. Anybody remember this with Desi Arnaz Jr as Walter Nebucher? The fact I remember this off the top of my head must mean insanity has krept in. But wait, what about Quark? That proved that a show can be SO bad, it actually has some redeeming qualities. Whats that I hear? Salvage 1 ? Not even Andy Griffith could save the show about a homebrew rocket salvage team that goes to the moon to gather up all the junk left by missions there. And then there is Cleopatra 2525 or whatever the number was. Lets take sexy females, shot them into the future and let them fight people. And last but not least, may I nominate any show that came from a decent move but as a show, it paled in comparison. I site Logans Run and Planet of the Apes as two of these

Couldn't let this pass: ""Joanie Loves Chachi" (1982-83). Scott Baio's addition to "Happy Days" was a classic jump-the-shark moment"

NO! The Happy Days classic jump-the-shark moment was when FONZIE ACTUALLY JUMPED THE FRICKIN' SHARK! Don't they know where the expression came from?

Um, I don't really think including Turn-On is unfair, even if only one episode aired.

But no Supertrain? Are you KIDDING?

The Clip they had for "Pink Lady and Jeff" doesn't really do the show justice, as it's just a generic cheesy disco number. What made this show truly "special" was the girls' interaction with Jeff Altman. This show may quite possibly have been the most unintentionally creepy and disturbing thing I've ever seen on prime time network television.

I've never had the privilege of seeing "My Mother the Car", but given the premise, this show could only have been either one of the biggest flaming turds in the history of the medium....or sublimely brilliant. I'll defer to the popular consensus on this one.

"Petticoat Junction" was hardly "Cheers", but I've seen more than 25 shows that were much worse.

There were several other daytime talk shows that could easily join the Springer show on this list (Geraldo, Maury Povich, Jenny Jones, just to name a few), but Springer is the one everyone thinks of when you mention the genre, so I guess if you're only going to include one, it has to be Springer.

Back in the '80's, there was a show on Fox called (IIRC) "Whoops". It was about the last few survivors of an accidental (hence the name) global thermonuclear war. It was a sitcom. I rest my case.

They listed "BJ and the Bear", which I'll admit was dreck, but then they forgot to mention its even worse spinoff: "The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo".

Someone has to give love to Pink Lady, and I guess it's gonna have to be me - not Jeff though, he was (and still is) one non-funny individual. I was in Japan in May and bought a bunch of Pink Lady CDs (and as my Japanese friend told me I am a nerd!) I was, gee, 10 when that show was on (and yes, I have the DVD set) and it was fabulous..for a disco-loving 10-year-old. I guess the nostalgia factor is part of its appeal for me. But at least it was better than the Brady Bunch Variety Hour!
