Mark and Craig's List of Bad TV Shows
From Our Childhoods
When Craig and I worked at Bimex (mid 80's to early
90's), we came up with a list of really, really bad TV shows. I was
cleaning up some old junk (yes, I do that from time to time - well, ok,
not very often) and found the list. Here it is for all to enjoy. Of
course, this list is NOT all-inclusive, nor could it ever be. New, awful
shows are created all the time.
Shows with a * mean the show was bad, but had some
sort of "redeeming quality". Looking back, I think a few more
shows would get an asterisk, but the list MUST remain as-is!
