The Good Riddance Award: Call for considerations

tv squad awardsEvery year at this time there are a few shows that take the cancellation bullet, much to the dismay of fans. There are petitions, mass mailings, and declarations of never watching that network again. On the other hand ... every year there are also those shows that meet the TV reaper that really had it coming. We've had enough of their bad TV and we're not going to take it anymore.

The good riddance award is for those shows. Not only will you not miss them, you'll gladly cheer as the funeral procession passes you by. There is no shortage of contenders as we rap up the '07/'08 season. The first to ping my radar included Next Great American Band. Good grief, so much was wrong about that show. And while we're looking at that ill-fated Fox Friday, let's throw Nashville on the pile as well. CBS has a couple contenders in Secret Talents of the Stars and Viva Laughlin. How do you screw up getting frickin' Wolverine on your network? Of course, we'd be remiss if we didn't offer a tip of the cap to ABC and the Cavemen as well. Those are just a few from my perspective. Add your contenders in the comments and we'll boil it all down to a really great list, of really bad TV.

Not sure if this should be considered as 06-07 season or 07-08 season, since it aired during the summer, but I would nominate John From Cincinatti if it's possible.

Bionic Woman could have been good, but ended up being a pile of puke.

It doesn't fit, but here it is anyway

Russel T. Davies for making Doctor Who no better than a bad soap opera.

Thank God he is stepping down and being replaced by Steven Moffat.

Miss/Guided. I give a lot of new TV shows generous amounts of opportunity to establish themselves and hit their stride, but I couldn't make it through even one episode of this show. Funny concept, but no thanks.

I'm also fine seeing the end of Women's Murder Club - boring, boring, boring.

Bionic woman hands down. The acting on that show was reprehensible, terrible, horrible.

I know people on here will hate me for this but Moonlight. I tried watching it, I did but man it was awful. Jason Dohring and Alex O'Loughlin deserve better. Hopefully they can find it now.
