Hey FAHQ. Off topic here, but I love your userID. Are you a fan of the movie Dazed & Confused perhaps?

Pretty much anything with a laugh track sucks ass.


Gotta chime in here - these things are doubly offensive because of an inherent sadism in most garbage TV.

I dunno about you folk, but *I* do not find other peoples pain, humiliation and misery funny, period.

To not only make a joke of it, but to run a laugh track overtop in an insinuation that not only is this crapola supposed to be funny, but also that the audience is too flamin stupid to realize that it's funny...

Sick, man... sick - the mere SOUND of a laughtrack makes me look for things to throw at the television.

I can't even stand to LOOK at one anymore, even when it's off - what's that say?

Grrrr!!

Eliminating reality shows (which I don't really think of as series, but that's just semantics), I would have to go with MY MOTHER THE CAR.

I second (third) anything with a laugh track (with a very small hand full of exceptions). Every time I’m forced to watch a show like Yes Dear or King of Queens ETC I just sit there confused as to what’s funny. Oh the fat guy is acting like a stereotypical football obsessed American male, funny… The stereotypical weak “smart” (Knowing smart people and being one my self I can tell the guy from Yes Dear is not smart) person is scared oh haha…

British TV has had some real stinkers too like Come Back Mrs Noah and Honey for Tea. You'd probably not credit the BBC too much for My Hero either.

You should watch some of the rejected pilots that got the MST3K treatment. There was one incredibly bad one called Agent for H.A.R.M. that defies belief, all played dead straight.

And now Joss has abandoned the medium. Woe, woe, thrice woe.

Worst series? The Crow.
Don't get me wrong, I like Mark DaCascos, but a pale imitation of pale sequals? What were they thinking? It made the Logan's Run tv series look like gold.

You know, he's playing the Chairman on Iron Chef America, which is also very sad for anyone in any way connected with any form of Crying Freeman (best anime movie ever, don't watch the sequels).

Oof. Does it make me a horrible person? Well, depending on the circumstances... I don't like the beating up of a sympathetic character a la Ben Stiller in Meet the Parents (which was HORRIBLE). But Dodgeball, on the other hand, is absolutely hilarious. And most of that movie is non-stop nut-shots.

On a related note, Ben Stiller should always play villians.

Charmed. Can't stand the poor acting and lack of decent story arcs.
