Another show I wasn't allowed to watch was The Simpsons. I have to say that based on what I did eventually see of it, it belongs in this thread as one of the worst shows I've ever seen. Painfully boring. I was sitting on a friend's couch waiting for them to finish getting ready and it was on TV. I fell asleep probably 3 separate times during it, and each time it felt like I must've been out for like 30+ minutes, but the same episode was still on. It was pure agony.
Well..I wouldn't go out and far and say it was one of the worst, but one of the bad TV shows I've seen that stuck out to me that someone mentioned earlier is The Brady Bunch.
People say the 80's was saturated with a bunch of corny sitcoms. Growing Pains, Family Ties, Full House, etc. We can't go without mentioning the source. The Brady Bunch is probably the sitcom that started out a familiar brand of safe entertainment. I've watched nearly every episode of the Brady Bunch (when it was on reruns on Hallmark when I was younger) and it has to be some of the blandest drivel you'll ever see. It's the same shit every episode. One of the kids gets into some shit, they get advice from their parents about that shit, they further get into shit, then they get to the breaking point, and then moral. It's like that for a grand majority of the episodes and they're all so forgettable. The show is so dated as well. A time capsule, constantly referencing things from around the late 60's/early 70's nearly every single episode. None of the episodes are timeless whatsoever. They don't have a lasting impact. When you watch a Brady Bunch episode, you completely forget the events within because they all rely on one basic formula. Said formula made what was only really a moderately successful show, a marketing genius. The Brady Bunch, for being the cleanest and boring show on TV, also made it the most marketable sitcom of all time. Think about it. Back in the day, it spawned an animated show, a variety show, a bunch of TV specials, board games, movies, toys, a whole bunch of stuff; even today, an HGTV show with the Property Brothers and them renovating a house to look exactly like the OG Brady house. The whole show truly feels like it was made not to entertain, but merely as a marketing scheme by Sherwood Schwartz to get money. It's perfect. It's a wholesome family show that can appeal to anybody because all of the problems the characters are so standard and generalized, and it just isn't entertaining. Even Robert Reed knew how shitty the job was with apparently bts shit of him complaining about the show, particularly when it entered its last season and Cousin Oliver was introduced to replace Cindy as being the annoying cute kid. It's like the only thing they want people to see is literally the most derivative entertainment possible. Completely mindless, but effective enough to take you out of the stress of the common day just for you to shut your brain off and submit yourself to the TV.
With that said, I love the fucking Brady Bunch movie, man. The one that is a complete deconstruction of how crazily unrealistic the show actually was. Through its light-hearted, cheerful nature lies a deep insanity that looms within. Genius screwball comedy and homage to how fucked the show really was when you analyze how a lot of things really went in the favor of the Bradys for some reason.
That is very true of what The Bradys represented for that idealized family life we wanted to see, otherwise destroyed by the likes of the Bundys and The Simpsons later. I remember my parents being shocked when those shows first came out, having never been reminded of the real filth they were trying to dig themselves out of.I always thought the Bradys were some kind of wish fulfillment thing; here you have a family of beautiful/cute people with a rich Dad and a big fancy house and a cool/with it Mom and a freakin' MAID, living the life that you, as a kid, always wanted. If you grew up in a trailer park with an alcoholic single Mom and an empty fridge, you could turn on the Bradys and escape for awhile. I think it's the same reason every sitcom family in the 80's used to live in a well-appointed mansion and wear the latest, up to date fashion: escapism. Also, sitcoms were how you, as a kid, knew what was cool to wear or what trends to follow. Sitcoms (barring those that dealt exclusively with social and cultural issues), were an idealized presentation of American life created to pacify the masses. It wasn't until Married with Children and the Simpsons came along that we finally got to see the idealized Family Sitcom raked over the coals (and they were pretty controversial for doing so, I recall.)

My dad loved the shit out of The Simpsons when it first started airing, but my mom disapproved of a show like that airing when young children were still awake so she forbid my dad to watch it, lest I caught a glimpse of something inappropriate for my age. On the rare occasion my mom was not home Sunday evenings, however, you better believe my dad had it on and invited me to join him for the laughs.I remember my parents being shocked when those shows first came out, having never been reminded of the real filth they were trying to dig themselves out of.
I still enjoyed the show, but Home Movies might be one of the worst aesthetically looking cartoons to air. Don't be fooled thinking the quality is downgraded from rips and re-uploads--the wavy character outlines and whatnot was how it aired.

Especially when it features an SNL Alum past their prime and not nearly as funny as they once were.I'm personally annoyed by all these programs nowadays that hype up the fact that most of the cast are SNL alumni, even if the show turns out to be mediocre at best.
If I didn't know better, I'd say they reused the Creepy Coupe from Wacky Races to be the Addams' RV.This is the intro. Notice what isn't there? That great theme song, which should be in everything Addams Family-related, which gives you a good idea about the quality of the show.
Malcom oddly reminds me of "Scratchy McGillicuddy" that briefly appeared as an in-TV companion to Bob Saget on America's Funniest Home Videos.Here's an oddball game show pilot in 1983 that never got picked up. Poor Alex... at least he bounced back with Jeopardy!
Shit, I remember stumbling across that show and wondering "WTF is this." I think it was too adult for even adults. Hell, even as a youngin' I still laughed at the Dilbert cartoon show. I did some strolling down memory lane, one of the co-creators of Home Movies (Loren Bouchard) worked on the the Dr. Katz show. So, I think there was some animation influence that spilled over.There was another wavy line show. Dr. Katz. It was based on a comic. It was way more spastic looking though. To the point where I wouldn't recommend it if you have migraines. It's one of those things where it is obviously poorly drawn on purpose. So it looks like a ten year old drew it but you know that isn't the case. It's just a very awful style choice. It's one of those mostly unfunny "adult" cartoons that kids would still watch just because it was animated.
The writing and the humor is why I enjoyed it, but visually; the first couple seasons were some janky MS Paint type animation.Home Movies is genuinely one of the best shows ever IMO, top 5 for sure
