Which sitcoms are the biggest shitcoms?
1. Roseanne
2. The Big Bang Theory
3. Whitney (Whitney Cummings' show from a few years ago. Should have been called "Shitney")
Honourable mention to 2 Broke Girls.
Off the top of my head...
Joannie Loves Chachi - Okay, so Happy Days jumped the shark and this show was about two characters who came into their own post-jump. No comedy, no talent in front or behind the camera, and stale before it was even filmed. On top of it all, they sang in every episode like they thought they had talent.
2 Broke Girls - I watched one episode because I thought the lead was hot in Thor. All set up lines with delivery, plus every joke was about being poor or about sex. Bland, wooden acting by the leads. Canned laughter at anything. Perhaps the worst show I've ever seen in my life.
AfterMASH - I think MASH jumped the shark when Trapper John left. This show was about three characters I wasn't interested in - Potter, Mulcahy and Klinger - and set them back home in the midwest. Man, I thought MASH got boring. Zero laughs, stale acting, no drama. Blech.
I can think of others that I didn't see (Shasta McNasty and Homeboys from Outer Space come to mind) but I only want to judge what I actually viewed.
There was an After MASH? Wasn't 11 years enough?
shareI never saw it but I remember it being on around 1983. I guess the play on words of “aftermath” was too tempting for the producers and writers.
shareI don't think it lasted a season, while MASH lasted about 6 seasons too long for my taste. I think the Korean Conflict was only 3 or 4 years.
shareGood picks! JLC was anti-comedy and AfterMASH was a new flavor of bland. (was Trapper John MD a comedy? I recall that it sucked)
shareRoseanne was a great show. WTF are you smoking? I agree the later seasons once they won the lottery were shit though and it was when the show "jumped the shark". But the earlier seasons did a great job portraying lower income middle class family.
shareYeah I loved Roseanne too, mainly for the always excellent John Goodman. But each to their own.
shareJohn Goodman is such a versatile actor. Very talented. Remember the scene he went out to beat up Jackie's boyfriend? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvj48pfUo3U. The part where he picks up his coat, you know shit is going down.
shareSorry, but I don't find dirty hillbillies funny. Roseanne was loud and obnoxious. And I hated the art-direction of the show.
sharelol
They were hardly dirty hillbillies. Just working class joes, joes ;)
I agree Roseanne was obnoxious, in and out of character. Still, John Goodman, man. John fucking Goodman. I'll say no more.
I'm with you on Big Bang Theory. I saw one episode and thought it was good. But 11 seasons of the same dumb jokes and idiotic characters?! Jeez!
Roseanne, never really liked it.
Whitney: never heard of it.
But I mean there are too many bad ones to name. I always hated McCale's Navy.
Leave it to Beaver.
Big Bang Theory had such unlikable characters. All of them. And they all player them as cliche as one could expect. I saw a video on YouTube where they showed scenes of how sexist the show is, and people n the comments who were fans of the shoe were agreeing.
