"bad" tv

TV Guide came out with its list of the 50 Worst Television Shows of all time. Most choices are obvious. Many are a direct result of programming execs trying to make money by creating spinoffs from successful shows...and failing miserably. How else do you explain the Ropers, HeeHaw Honeys and After MASH?

My main problem with this list is that TV Guide puts Hogan's Heros at #5. Per CNN, the Guide deems it politically incorrect. Maybe this is because it arguably trivializes the Holocaust by being a comedy set in Nazi Germany? If that is the case, there are certainly some more sitcoms that have been just as politically incorrect. I think the Guide should switch Hogan's Heros out with Mayberry RFD and just create a second list of politically incorrect TV Shows. Sure, Springer would still be at the top of the list, but TV Guide would be a little less full of shit than usual.

How's this for a meaty debate over current events?! Am I ready for Meet the Press or what? Maybe next I'll try and tackle the weighty issue of Batman vs. Superman.
