lol It's sick that people will actually care about these ratings and use them to affect what they watch.

Kind of surprised by their #1 worst pick though.

6 of the Top 10 worst shows i tend to watch more than anything else on TV.

funny that all 9 of the best shows suck fucking ass.

i guess i shouldn't be applying for memebership into the PTC anytime soon. :lol:

What the shit? How is Bernie Mac good, yet CSI bad? Bernie Mac has innuendo, occasional violence against children and other things. CSI is a cop show (well, crime lab) with graphic cgi of internal organs.

All of the top 10 worst are awesome, except for Desperate Housewives, that sucks, except for Eva

LOL @ Arrested Development. Probably hits too close to home. But I agree with their top three worst. Not 'cause I'm offended, mind you, I just think they suck.

You hate Family Guy? You're dead to me.

Eh-hem...

Why Bernie Mac is good.

7. Bernie Mac

Fox/8:00 Friday - Returning show

Originally inspired by comedian Bernie Mac's life, this returning sitcom centers on the career-driven Bernie and Wanda, who see their world turned upside down when Bernie agrees to take care of his sister's children. Bernie thinks he knows everything there is to know about parenting, but discovers along the way that growing up and raising children is a never-ending process.

As the children mature into adolescence the show has introduced the unavoidable conversations about relationships with the opposite sex and other mature topics, but all have been handled with responsibility and gentleness.

Why War at Home is bad

1. The War at Home

Fox/8:30 Sunday - 1st Season

Billed as a family comedy, The War at Home may be one of the raunchiest and least intelligent shows of the new season. The Washington Post described it as "unconscionably smutty," then went on to say, "the problem is not just that it's crude and gross, but that its crudeness and grossness are so pathetically forced and contrived. Its vulgarity has no integrity... all the characters are vile in spirit and objectionable in essence."

The first episode opened with Dave introducing viewers to his wife, Vicky, then saying, "Did you check out that rack? Nice, huh?" Of his daughter, Hillary, viewers learn, "I only have one simple rule for dating my teenage daughter: if she sees your penis, I'll cut it off." It goes downhill from there. An early episode this season had Dave buying his teenage son a lubricant because he was making himself sore from masturbating too often.

Do we see something here?

:rofl:

The top worst show of 2000....

TOP 10 WORST
1) WWF Smackdown!
(UPN/first season)
Airing at 8:00 on Thursdays, Smackdown! exposes children to obscene, raunchy, and violent content on a weekly basis. Regularly featured characters included a pimp and his "Ho Train," a sex addict, and a porn star. Episodes contained women mudwrestling topless, homosexual innuendo, and drug references. One plot line centered on a wrestler's sexual dalliance with a 70-year-old woman. Violent content included characters being beaten with chairs, poles, pipes, 2x4s, sledgehammers, street signs, chains, a piano top, and hockey sticks, getting smashed through tables and windows, getting run down by a limo, rammed by a semi truck, and being set on fire. Foul language included all the standards and audible use of the s-word, and visible (though not audible) uses of "f--k" and "motherf--ker."

I thought that part of the episode was pretty funny :D

Parents of young children should be especially concerned because Family Guy's animated format is sure to attract young viewers. Shockingly, since its return in May, Family Guy is the highest ranked show among 12-17 year olds, and the fifth highest ranked show among children ages 2 to 11.

lol

To be fair, I didn't say I hated it. I just said it sucked. You know me, Funky. I don't hate (unless it's regarding Steve Austin or George Bush). :D

lol, it's like they got the best and worst confused with each other.

4. The Ghost Whisperer CBS/8:00 Friday - 1<SUP>st</SUP> Season

Terrible

Ah for a return of the good old days... back to a simpler time. You know, when women couldn't vote and blacks were still slaves.
