7 Least Funny Sitcoms According to Reddit: Don't Waste Your Time
Viewers say they would rather stare at a wall than watch these shows again.
In the olden days, when options on TV were limited, and the Internet was slow or non-existent, people used to watch a lot of sitcoms they no longer even want to remember. Fortunately, we've got Reddit today, so longtime TV viewers can warn new audiences about which shows are best avoided.
We've compiled a list of seven sitcoms Redditors regard as the worst TV shows of all time, ranked by their IMDb rankings.
Two and a Half Men (2003, 12 seasons, 7.1/10)
Though Chuck Lorre's sitcom about a flamboyant jingle writer, his edgy brother and his naughty nephew was hugely successful and made a lot of money, many Redditors wish they'd never seen it. The show started out strong, but its quality declined consistently as time went by, and eventually, it was mostly famous for its star Charlie Sheen's on-set antics. It had a fairly long run of 12 seasons on CBS, from 2003 to 2015, but towards the end, it was mostly inertia that kept it going.
The Nanny (1993, 6 seasons, 7.1/10)
The CBS sitcom ran from 1993 until 1999 and was the background to the childhood of many viewers born in the 1980s. It follows a Jewish fashionista from Queens who lands a job as a nanny for the three kids of a widowed Broadway producer. It was quite popular while on the air and spawned numerous foreign adaptations, but it hasn't aged well, and most American viewers remember it with dread today.
Full House (1987, 8 seasons, 6.8/10)
This one is an even older ABC sitcom that follows another weird family comprising a widowed father, his three kids, his brother-in-law and his childhood best friend. It ran for eight seasons from 1987 to 1995. Viewers find the show deplorable and can't believe it's still in syndication today.
Reba (2001, 6 seasons, 6.6/10)
The sitcom starring Reba McEntire, which aired from 2001 to 2007, disappointed many viewers. According to Redditors, the story of a middle-aged woman with marital and parenting problems consisted mostly of unnecessary drama instead of real-life situations and, despite being a sitcom, wasn't even funny.
According to Jim (2001, 8 seasons, 6.5/10)
Redditors despise this ABC sitcom starring Jim Belushi about a suburban blues-loving slacker dad and his family of three and then five children. Although the show was difficult to watch, it ran for eight seasons and 182 episodes from 2001 to 2009.
Dog With a Blog (2012, 3 seasons, 4.9/10)
Another show that many Redditors despise is Disney's Dog With a Blog. The sitcom about a talking dog ran for three seasons from 2012 to 2015, leaving many parents frustrated. Viewers say watching this show is like punching yourself in the face.
Fred: The Show (2012, 1 season, 1.7/10)
The Nickelodeon series, which only aired for a few months in 2012, is a pain in the neck for many parents. The adventures of 17-year-old Fred Figglehorn, played by Lucas Cruikshank, are considered the worst TV project ever made. Yet it has somehow managed to develop a cult following. Perhaps, it's one of those it's-so-bad-it's-good situations.
