Duck Dynasty
2012-present
Congratulations, Robertson family you are officially the worst anything ever! A dipshit sitcom passed off as a reality show, with a bunch of bearded phonies stumbling over their scripted banter like The Beverly Hillbillies with less believable facial hair. The Robertsons talked about Jesus a lot, but Jesus probably prefers Real Housewives like the rest of us.

(26,288 posts)I really liked that show - kind of quirky with fun and interesting characters. And it was nice to see a show with actual Indigenous actors playing the Indigenous characters. The only other time I've seen that is a show that ran on the CBC called 'North of 60', which was, hands down, the best dramatic television series the CBC ever ran.
(Actually, Northern Exposure is the only show on that list that I've ever watched.)

(15,370 posts)"Northern Exposure," although I didn't see the last couple seasons at all. Perhaps it went downhill then, but I liked the quirky characters and actually was raised around some like that. Perhaps RS didn't like that the series was filmed in Washington State, not Alaska. Then there was also Janine Turner who turned out to be a complete RW wacko in real life.
I must admit that I saw a couple episodes of "Ghost Whisperer" and regretted doing so. I couldn't even finish the first episode of "Stalker." But I've never seen ANY episodes of anything else on the list.

A friend of mine was in a movie with Janine Turner. They were the two female leads, so they spent quite a bit of time together. Despite her egregious political views, I was told Janine is really very nice. But this was before she become so politically vocal.

He's still a doll; very likeable man to this then 13? year old.

(26,288 posts)And I LOVE John Cullum!
He did a whole lot of guest shots on the different versions of Law and Order, which always made me smile.

(15,550 posts)I never watched it but can only guess that it should have at least gotten in the top 10! Or any show featuring ignorant rednecks.

Siwsan
(26,288 posts)But since it didn't come with sub-titles, I had few clues as to what anyone was talking about.
No kidding.

(6,286 posts)I remember now distinctly a scene where a Hispanic lineup broke into song and said "We're the local color with the coppertone skin... And you treat us like we're guilty of a terrible sin" or something very close to that. That show was gut-bustingly awful.

(13,305 posts)...but consider it one of the 12 worst shows of all time? Critics aren't always right, and I never liked that show much myself.....but by what standard do they include that in this small, concise group of shit-shows?

(65,616 posts)What is pathetic is how many people believe those folks are real and have no clue they are actors. Just like the fuckwads that voted for Reagan...same group of mindless assholes.
