Worst TV Series You've Ever Seen?

[thehamish]

My ears!! loved Hawkman though.....

Had the misfortune to catch the awe inspiringly awful "sitcom" 2 Broke Girls. AVOID!! The entire cast seemed to be spitting their lines through clenched teeth, as if they were ashamed etc. Pitiful.

Force of habit from being on another site cough cough

Not a worst series, but... being told what to think by low level celebs, as a trend...

It's everywhere, a quick and cheap way to make a programme, stick on an old series from the 70s, or now -- the 90s, that's okay in itself, or a walk-through of various 70s/80s/90s stuff, and somebody, or a host of somebody's, pop up and tell you how it was, what you were doing that night, expressions like "... the nation sat down to watch..." or "we all thought such and such about a character..." and I'm thinking, I NEVER noticed that until now, or THAT CHARACTER meant nothing of the sort to me, or I was down the pub every Wednesday eve, so never even saw it...

... so it's this idea of of us sitting like automatons in front of the box and we're all reacting exactly the same way, not unlike like when we're all called CONSUMERS in the news, CONSUMERS today will be annoyed by the pirce hikes in grapefruits or whatever, CAR USERS, CAT LOVERS, FESTIVAL LOVERS, MUMS, YOUNG PEOPLE, all the same, one amorphouse mass, walking aroud thinking and doing the same things, exactly, okay, okay, they have to sum up I guess, but there's this dumb way of speaking now that's creeping in, being SMUGGLED in even, we're all told WHAT TO THINK, WHAT WE THINK and how WE'VE REACTED to a whole range of things, it's cheap and dumb telly, that's the only way I can think it's caught on, but don't be taken in, oh no, it's like a mind -virus, nod and agree and it's over for you, it also seems to be an important part of this "fees for an ever-increasingly small bunch of GO-TO comedians and presenters" tred we're seeing, at worst for us, less personalities on TV and for them, to make even more cash in the shortest time possible and as a benedfit to pump their appeal by keeping many of them continuously in the public eye.

They're being slotted in everywhere yuo notice, and often, telling us how it was and what to think of own perceptions and memories, or viewing experiences from way back when in every decade, with a pseudo-veneer of sentimentality and appeal to hasten brain-softness layered on top. Like cheap icing on a cake. or some such simile.

Not so much tehn - WORST TV SERIES, but more "WORST APPROACH" to current TV and scheduling, and to note, it was going on in pre-recessionary times so by no means is it a recent cash-saver approach.

I suggest you try and find Adam Curtis' work.....The Power of Nightmares...The Trip etc...right up your alley i'd say...

I looked him up Hamish on Imdb, an interesting slate, hopefully will get around to seeing something by him... has to be better than a lot of what we're being fed at the moment.
