Worst Shows on Australian TV.

[UNIT]

Quite straight forward a poll. Which show which is (or has recently finished) airing on Australian free to air television could be declared the worst. Doesnt nessecarily need to be from one particular genre. Can be a drama like 'All Saints' or 'what the hell was that?' type fare such as 'Starsearch'. International shows are eligible.

To be taken into consideration are the following selection criteria...

* Overexposure.

* Lack of Originality.

* Irritating characters/hosts.

* Concept.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Basil's Footy Show.

 

[Ian Wright]

A Current Affair has hit rock bottom IMO. The stories they cover are just embarassing thesedays and Ray just looks really dumb presenting them.

The X Factor was very very poor. Is it still on TV?

 

[Muffo]

Super Nanny must not be that bad, apparently it beat Desperate Housewives last week.

Never seen any, but Housewives is supposed to be pretty good.

 

[Topher]

Desperate Housewives is great, as well as The Glasshouse.

Kath and Kim is the worst Australian show IMO, I just can't find it funny, and I have tried.

 

[Destructive]

After reading the criteria - most definately Our Place. It's just Burkes Backyard in a studio with an audience. I'm sick and tired of these type of shows being shoved down our throats.

 

[choc_a_holic]

Aussie QE for me.

 

[luke2177]

Starsearch gets my vote. Lame, lame, lame.

 

[Daytripper]

I flicked on Our Place the other night for 10 minutes or so.
Question : Is it just one big infomercial with occasional breaks for ads ?

It gets the nod just ahead of :
Rove Live
Supernanny
ACA & TT
Aussie Queer Eye

Actually nearly all the shows you listed Unit, are terrible with the exception of Jamies School Dinners which isn't too bad.

 

[Ljp86]

My worst shows are:

Home and Away
Neighbours
Australian Idol
The X Factor
American Idol
Queer eye for the Straight guy (Aus version as well)
Rove Live
Seinfeld (way too many repeats)
Backyard Blitz
Starstruck (not Starsearch)
Our Place
Better Home and Gardens

My Best Shows:

The Amazing Race
Survivor
Curb Your Enthusiam
The Apprentice
Grounded For Life
Sports Tonight
Jerry Springer
Any AFL game
Any Cricket game

 

[SaintsSupporter]

All Saints, easily. Absolute tripe.

 

[Magpiespower]

All of the above.

Plus the Eddie McGuire hour on Monday and Thursday nights.

 

[Muffo]

All Saints, easily. Absolute tripe.

Coming from a saints supporter...?

 

[PiedPiper]

I hate to say this peoples, but now that little Johnny our noble leader agreed to go ahead with the Free Trade Agreement and sign our cultural soul to satan himself, Aussie TV is about to get a whole lot worse. Not only is our news corporatised, so are our programes. ACA has tuned into some sort of program for the great unwashed to have their fifteen minutes, it isn't investigative journalism, and 60mins is not far behind. Happy viewing!

Dancing with the Starts is the worst.

 

[AndSmithMustScore]

The OC and that genre of American tripe

 

[Portmanteau]

Just wait until Celebrity Circus debuts.

 

[Pessimistic]

Fuuniest home videos. Funny how the kids love it.

they should publish the peoples addresses too so you can avoid goin thru the neighborhood in case you break down an have to knock on their door......uhhhhhggg

 

[gadj1976]

The Logies?

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Dancing with the Stars is bad and Starstruck is embarassing.

But the hands down winner is THE X FACTOR!!!!!!

 

[viccles]

The OC. Absolute tripe

 

[collingwoody]

The X factor !!!
there is no way known that this country could have possibly produced anything worse than this !!
Close but no cigar was that Starstruck garbage on 9.
But X factor has Mark Holden the antichrist himself of this countries entertainment industry.
The building up of these kids and ultimate shootdown that comes with the realisation that they ALL OF THEM are no talent cracker hacks who should go back to breeding and Friday Karoke down the RSL !!! should not be allowed.
Talent quests are one thing but when you tell these kids that they are going to be filthy rich mega stars and have the comp in the bag only to see them butcher any and everything that they sing makes you wonder how celebrity obsessed we really are.
The scariest thing TEN ARE CONSIDERING A SECOND SERIES !!!!
at least they didnot buy 5 like Big Brother and we know how ********e the last two series were how bad could this be !!

I will have to take your word on it. I have not watched any of it- the ads in themselves show why is has bombed big time.
