Yeah, I remember that. And it was implied that they were fucking before. I was wondering "why the fuck is it there even?"

The two that come to mind are Flash Forward and Dollhouse.
I really only watched on episode of Flash Forward, but I was already annoyed with it when people just kind of accepted the idea of a Flash Forward en masse and nobody was looking for an alternate explanation, but the thing that killed me was, before a commercial break, after one of the main characters running into a kangaroo in the middle of chaos in a major city, a narrator breaks in with "Remember the kangaroo. It could be important."
I'm sure they were trying to play off a Lost-style mystery, but it doesn't mean much for your show if you have to point it out.
The second was Dollhouse, and I admit, I hate-watched the fuck out of it, because I'm an old-school Joss Whedon hater, and I knew the show would become a shit-show for how preposterous the concept was already, and, because I'm not sold on the idea that Whedon is some "genius" of characterization - I'd argue that characterization he wrote only made sense in the context of his "clever" gimmickry, and boy was my belief paid off by this dreck. It was a cut-rate Matrix except with the added rub of mind-wipes.

Does public access cable TV count? I saw weird shit I don't think anyone here would actually believe.

Who the fuck at Netflix allowed them to animate naked 13 year olds in that second clip. What the FUCK. Some girl I dated had me sit down and watch the whole first season when I had no idea what it was and I thought through it "holy shit, this is the most Jewish show I've ever watched." And sure enough it was an entirely Jewish creation. Hitler was fucking right, that show was worthy of the Weimar Republic.

Public access TV was like the alley in-between basic cable and local channels. It was the Youtube before Youtube, in a few ways. Weird stuff showed up on local channels, a lot more than a lot of people realized, thought it all depended on your location, and pure chance, because there was a lot of boring material too.
I was once shown a recording of a cable access talk show. The show, which looked like it had been shot sometime in the 1990s, had a very minimalist set even by no-budget public access show standards and the host was interviewing an honest to goodness space alien. This space alien had assumed the form of a very frumpy middle aged woman in order to learn about us, and was on public access TV to tell all humans about how inspiring it can be when you turn yourself into a ball of energy and share yourself with other balls of energy. Or something. And to prove her alien powers, she walked in front of a bluescreen and for a minute was just a floating head. The host, some scrawny beardo dressed like an old stereotype of a college professor, complete with corduroy suit jacket with leather elbow patches, seemed to take her and that bit with the bluescreen very seriously. The person who showed me this had a few other VHS recordings of this show and similar shows, from the 80s and 90s like the episode of the same show where the host who interviewed the "alien" hyped up their guests as world famous, a supposedly famous New Age musician from a former Eastern Bloc country and a much ballyhooed special guest the host insinuated had appeared in Hollywood films like Star Wars, and it turned out to be a guy who claimed to have had an ancillary role, at most, in the production of the 1978 Star Wars parody film Hardware Wars (and I kind of doubt he actually did).

S1 was edging the audience with “maybe we’ll do the Joker.” And then when they finally made a Joker people actually liked they immediately killed his ass. They bring him back with some Lazarus pit bullshit I can't explain. After that it turns into straight CW fare.
If all nerds want is to see cartoon characters played by real humans, then what can you expect? It's a live-action cartoon for kids.
It demanded way more acting than Dushku could deliver, plus thisWestworld-ass life-extension, billionaire rentboy club. My only sympathy was with Dominic, and they treat him like a villain, shove him in the “attic” with his brain sucked out. This show is so bad I started wondering if maybe Marti Noxon wasn’t entirely to blame for Buffy’s issues.

Oh! I totally remember one I watched because I thought it was going to be way funnier than it was.
It was called First Kill and it was on Netflix for one season. It was about a family of vampires and a family of vampire hunters and how the lesbian teenage daughters have a Romeo and Juliet thing going on.
I wish I could honestly recommend it for the laughs because in one episode
It makes me so mad that the show was playing everything completely straight, beyond the two leads. It could have been like Xena, which never took itself that seriously and was fun enough to watch.

the Grandmother of the teenage girl vampire was doing something that made her son-in-law, the teenage girl's father angry and he turned into a snake and ate her. And no one else in the house with them had any idea.

Heated Rivalry. It was recommended to me, and I gave it a go, and it has zero subtlety like a cringe-ass gay porn and it's weirdly hard to watch. I don't care that it's fag shit, but it's fag shit in that kinda weird gross way where someone has a fetish for it and considers fags little more than sex objects. Ugh, makes my skin crawl. A man was the director but I wouldn't be shocked if it was ghostwritten by a bunch of fag hags.
Edit: Actually, I think the biggest reason why it makes me uncomfortable is because it reminds me of those shitty ass fucking garbage yaoi mangas or gay Korean manhwas. It is eerily similar to those.
"B-but Ilya-kun, I'm not gay. I'm a virgin! uwu"
"Sssssh, Shane.-chan. You want it, don't you? No means yes, my little uke!"
Yeah no thank you.
Also the russian guy has some PAINFUL dialog. His acting is so off putting too. Everything is off-putting,
Actually, everyone has some painful writing. The amount of times the half asian says "fucking asshole" or "asshole" to the Russian could be a drinking game.
What is this bitch tier banter?

Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries
It's based on a series of novels. Miss Fisher glides around 1920s Australia solving crime simply because she's rich and bored.
The pitch, such as it is, is that Fisher is supposed to be a kind of Dorothy Parker party animal and sex kitten, but with the politics of a 2012 Tumblr post.
To be fair, a lot of these murder shows are guilty of this. Father Brown is set in the postwar period and features a priest who’s improbably chill about homosexuality and alternative lifestyles, but at least there it doesn’t feel so ham-handed. And it's especially rich coming from "I have no job, infinite money, and I fuck." She is insulated from consequences unlike the women she meets.
She drags along this detective whose name I refuse to retain. He looks like a gray filing cabinet that learned how to talk. He’s supposed to be in love with her, but he reacts to her the way I react to a broken printer. Any other show, that guy would be an antagonist. He’d be the inspector who’s like, “Oi! WOMAN! You can’t just investigate crimes,” but no. They hook up and there's nothing going on behind the eyes. Zero heat.

Poker Face by Rian Johnson is easily the worst "mystery" show I have ever seen. In 30 minutes you find out who did it, why they did it, and how they did it. Which would be great except the shows an hour. Only saw two episodes but they both had this exact same outline and you couldn't write a mystery show in a more retarded way if you trying.
The first 1/3 of an episode is you seeing the crime step by step and then seeing the guilty person explain why they did their crime making the rest of the show a waste of time. The second 1/3 of the episode is seeing the first 1/3 again but from the perspective of the main character who happenes to be there for reasons. Then the rest of the episode is the main character figuing out the crime you already saw happen in painstaking detail 45 minutes earlier.

I always thought a good mid series twist would have been that House himself was the imaginary one; a split personality Wilson created to vent all of his rage and anger after being crippled.and the rest of the series going full Jeckyl and Hyde with Wilson and House fighting for control over his body.

What you’re describing is the Columbo/Criminal Intent thing. You know, “I’m a rich guy and I killed my wife perfectly.” And then Columbo shows up and the universe just decides it’s time for justice and hands him the clues.
I don't really care for it. The detective never feels smart.

Youtube tried pushing this thing on me today:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dying_for_Sex
It sounds like one of the articles we get on A&N where a whore writes about all of the hot sex she's having after blowing up her marriage, only in this case, the whore has cancer.

I tried watching this show again.
Every joke from the original is dialed up to like… ball hammer smashing thumb. It’s like if Doc Martin was a Three Stooges short.
Martin and Louisa have negative chemistry. Just fully giving up. I almost respect that.
The villagers are the real problem. They’re all written like neurotic city strivers. They’re obsessed with status. They should be in like a workplace comedy arguing about parking spaces. It’s like rural LinkedIn.
The blueberry judge has more clout than the doctor. It’s for “relatability.” They have to make the protag seem like a loser so the audience feels sorry for him.

Agree, because it never feels earned. You know how its all going to turn out before the intro sequence, and any of the things that ought to pose problems (like, say, Columbo's handling of evidence) will just get ignored in favor of cheap catharsis. Its easy to be the best detective in the universe when the universe is conspiring to help you succeed.
Its a bit like some people have said about Avatar, you wind up rooting for the villains because the story is so blatantly stacked against them.

Columbo is so funny because he keeps busting the same guy over and over. Like imagine being Robert Culp and every few months NBC calls you, “hey Bob, you wanna get owned by the guy in the raincoat again?”
They should’ve let him win once.
Also why does every cop show act like being a detective is the most embarrassing job on earth? In the Inspector Morse prequel they act like he could have been the Dean at Oxford...but you became a copper. And his dad basically disowns him for solving murders.
Well, in Columbo the whole department treats him like some leper even though his clearance is like 100%. It's pure populism. God forbid the hero is in a position of authority.

Only thing i remember from that was the main character was drunk in the futureand couldn't remember his vison. "Because I was drinking" is the only line I remember. Then the show was cancelled and we never solved the mystery.
And yes it was ABC trying to make lost2.
