Dumbest sit-com, ever!

Barring I Married Dora, Small Wonder, My Mother the Car, and Carter Country, what do you think was the dumbest television situation comedy series?

I nominate Aliens In the Family.

For me it was Full House.

You didn't like Carter Country?!?!?

Richard Paul (Mayor Teddy Burnside) alone was worth the price of admission. "Han'le it! Han'le it!"

I nominate Aliens In the Family.

Well, sure. It has two more aliens than Alf.

Lots of shows that seemed reasonably funny at the time come across as naive and repetitive now. My wife has TVLand on all day, and I now realize how bad most of Green Acres really was. Even I Love Lucy is just more ornate in its tediousness.

Friends. Happy Days. Mr. Ed. The Monkees. I Love Lucy.

Anyone remember that one from the late 80's/early 90's that was a bunch of talking dinosaurs or monsters or something plus a giant talking stone head? Fake jungle scenery?

and how can anyone not like happy days?

... upon further reflection, I have changed my mind. "Law and Order" is quite possibly the WORST sitcom on the boob-toob today.

Was Mr. Ed filmed in a different country? I noticed that his lips never matched up with the words.

How can anyone not like Happy Days? I think I'm a pretty regular guy, I mean I don't think I'm a tough guy or hip or anything but I thought the Happy Days crowd were a bunch of dweebs, especially the Fonz.

As is fairly well known, (unless it's just not true) Mr. Ed's mouth movements were caused by wires that had been placed between his lips and gums. They would hopefully not allow that today. -Did you think he was actually speaking German or something and the words didn't match up. Uh, that would make sense!

I have fond memories of Green Acres. I loved Mr. Haney and the county agent guy. The only character that annoyed me was the main guy because he couldn't deal with all the wackos. What was his problem?

I thought Beverly Hillbillies was pretty good, too. Like when Jethro decided to become a doctor and Granny was giving him anatomy lessons. She has a chart of the body up and points to the neck: "And, this is the gizzard." And Jethro saying at one point, "I can't decide if I want to be a brain surgeon or a fry cook." These shows were not predictable. Not to me, anyway.

Green Acres c 1970

Eb: Saturday night we have drag races
Oliver: Drag races?
Eb: Yeah, every Saturday night the guys get dressed in drag and race each other

As far as worst sit-coms. Anything with Lucille Ball after I Love Lucy

Loved Happy Days. For pure foolishness, you couldn't beat Green Acres, Gilligan's Island, and Beverly Hillbillies.

I detested the Bunkers. It was absolutely not funny.

And then, I, ah, mostly stopped watching TV.
