Sitcoms nowadays suck. Martin was the best, though.

Yay, it's a thread where everyone lists every popular sitcom.
The real answer should be some sitcom that didn't even last a season, let alone a few episodes. Those are probably way worst than anything anyone has listed in here.

Scrubs. A million times Scrubs. I get angry just seeing it on TV. Chain emails and 60 year old ladies at work with "cutesie" puns are funnier than this show. And on top of it being completely unfunny, every character is totally unlikable.

I've been made to watch Community by people I used to consider friends. The fact I was forced to watch it is probably why I dislike it so much. That's more logical than saying the Hitler sitcom is the worst.big ander said:

Gilmore Girls is like the bottom of television entertainment. It can't get any worse.

The GAF elitism is laughable.
I actually like the majority of sitcoms.
How I Met Your Mother definitely takes the cake for the worst though, I haven't laughed at it in years.
Big Bang Theory, Mike & Molly, and Two and Half Men are always hilarious, and Rules of Engagement has it's moments.
I got bored by 'Til Death though, and According to Jim.
I actually saw an episode of Community where the indian looking guy was acting like a robot and calling everyone a bitch or something. I actually laughed.
Accidentally on Purpose was pretty funny too, sad it didn't last. New Adventures of Old Christine was also pretty funny sometimes, but it was getting a bit stale.
Shit My Dad Says is hilarious sometimes, but very corny.
I'm on the CBS/Chuck Lorre defense force. You people don't have a sense of humor. The outrageous stuff they say never seizes to make me laugh my ass off.

18 episodes, and it's a stinker. Couldn't believe the shittyness when i watched an episode.
I think they accidentally left out the COM in sit-com. So it's a Sit.
Yeah it was pretty crappy.
Too bad the chick from Extras was wasted on it.

This thread fails so hard. There's a goldmine of truly, TRULY awful shit that made it to TV and most of you just rush to post "two and a half men!" for the billionth time. That show isn't even in the same league as "the worst." At least the guy who posted "Heil Honey! I'm Home!" knows what's up.
you want bad sitcoms? How about shit like
The secret diary of desmond Pfieffer
Homeboys from outer space
Freaking Cavemen
Emiril, the sitcom
The Nanny- seriously. the fact that no one has listed this one is mindblowing.
Harry and the Hendersons: The TV show
Bigfoot. 72 episodes about a family who adopts a god damn bigfoot and no one mentions it. Also, Hacksaw jim duggan appeared in one episode for some reason.
Small Wonder
try watching this one. you can't do it. No one can. You'd be begging for two and a half men reruns in minutes.
honorable mention: They came from outer space. This show was an hour long for some reason and not technically a sitcom, but gets a mention here because even the opening CREDITS are so bad I can barely make it through them. It's on hulu. I'm not kidding.
oh, and the plot?

If we are talking about the big well known and successful ones.
Seinfeld. Just a completely below average show in every way. Except for one. The characters, who hold the distinction of being the 2nd most unpleasant TV characters ever created. The first? The cast of Curb. The third are the cast of Friends. I might have enjoyed Seinfeld if I wasn't constantly feeling the desire to drown them all in a bathtub and set the apartment in fire.
But if we start talking about the less known sitcoms or the sitcoms that people barely remember, there is an endless list of far worse sitcoms than Seinfeld.

forgot about this one. Of course the "wisecracking mirror" is black. And...
Zorro and Son
I guess sort of like Sanford and son, only canceled much, much faster.

Really? The nanny was on for 6 seasons straight. I'm sure It's still on somewhere in syndication.
Small wonder had nearly 100 episodes, harry and the hendersons about 75. Somebody was watching these.
But the point is that this thread is about the worst sitcoms ever made. The true bottom of the barrel tended not to last very long. Stuff like Two and a half men and big bang theory aren't bad- just derivative and uninspired. they cater to the kind of people who enjoy traditional sitcom plots and things with laugh tracks. Not my thing, but definitely not "bad" in the sense that these shows were bad.

I remember Margaret Cho had a short-lived sitcom during the early or mid 90's. It was pretty bad and back then I was a stupid kid who pretty much laughed at anything. The only reason why I remember it was because it was so bad and it was the only sitcom that had mostly Asian people in it.

Margaret Cho brought great shame to Asian-Americans. Great shame.

Man, maybe it's because I'm not American so probably different culture and all, but shit, I like Two and a Half Man :lol
From the looks of it, I might be the only person in GAF who like this show, hahaha.

Claiming the worst sitcom every made would still be IYO and by someone claiming that it's the worst sitcom I would imagine it would be in their eyes the worst sitcom ever made.
But ya, this thread seems to fail at the idea that there are WAY worse sitcoms out there than the general popular ones that people are stating. If the stuff they are claiming is the worst thing ever, they should be thankful they've never seen some truly bad shit.
Nothing is worse than Tyler Perry's shows. I've encountered it on more than one occasion and seriously tried to see something good about it. It is the dullest, laziest, most unfunny show out there. None of the actors seem to have any comedic talent, or at least they aren't showing it. Every single situation and line spoken is the most predictable shit. And the less said about the "serious" moments the better.
I envy people who could seriously say stuff like Seinfeld or Arrested Development are the worst sitcoms in there opinion, they must have had a blessed life where they didn't have to encounter shit on the level of House of Payne.

my GF used to watch this. genuinely terrible for a lot of reasons- not the least of which was half of the episodes revolved around the female lead being pursued by random men, while clearly pregnant. very creepy.
Also, the producers liked to find excuses for the male lead to walk around shirtless, but it was obvious he had some kind of objectionable tattoo on his chest that had to be poorly edited out digitally. possibly some other woman's name or something. again, bizarre and distracting.
true, but there is something fun about the TRULY unwatchable trainwrecks, no?
