Yes there are a few laugh track shows that were good. Home Improvement was fairly decent, they had real people from the Army, Navy and NASA made guest appearances and Wilson always gave a little bit of actually helpful wisdom. Although I can't stand the show now I liked it when it was new.

You also got to count M*A*S*H as one of the best comedies despite its laugh track. I never paid much attention to the laugh track on the show since it was so good by its self.

I realize it has a cult following these days, but it's got to be, "Gilligan's Island." Believe me, I was there. Three networks, one black and white TV in the family room, no such thing as a remote control. The show was deadly, mind numbingly dull -- and stupid. It was the definition of lowest common denominator. It wasn't alone of course, there were other pathetically bad shows: The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, Bonanza, to name a few, but GI was my personal TV nemesis. I made it my mission in life to convince my parents and brother that either of the other two choices had to be better, whatever they were! Alas, I failed and was driven into a isolated life of reading Science Fiction until something good came on. And then, one day, there was FIREFLY!
OK... I'll stop now.

If we're not excluding "reality" TV, then the absolute, hands-down, most hideous idea for a television show ever:

The Swan.

Cutting people who are average looking to make them "model beautiful" for the amusement of others? That show made me lose faith in humanity.

Now, excluding reality television, of the shows that I've seen (I don't watch much), I'd have to go with Sliders. Not the original few seasons of Sliders, but post-Sci-Fi-Channel Sliders. You know, when everyone but poor Rembrandt Brown had left? It's the worst only because Sci-Fi took such a great show and made it instantly suck. I was so overjoyed to see it back on the air, and then they totally made it lame.

Saaad.

Never saw it, believe it or not. Thanks though!

The reason I asked is because that movie is the only other time I have seen FAHQ. Ben Affleck's character O'Banion had it painted on a paddle he was using to torment freshmen. The movie is one of my all time faves. Very funny. You should definitely check it out.
