    I personally enjoyed 666 and only stopped watching b/c it got canceled and I didn't want to invest more in it. Also, LOVE American Horror Story. I'm glad Glee is on the list though. The show has gone downhill since Season 1.

    AHS definitely is NOT one of the worst shows at all.
    Quite the opposite.

    Disagree with 2 Broke Grils and Glee, two of the most hilarious shows on network TV nowadays. 2 Broke Girls takes back to shameless and trashy humour of the early 90s, and that's great. And Glee, in addition, is pretty revealing despite his occasional ridiculousness (equally compensated with brilliance).

    I am a How I Met Your Mother fan, but i have to honestly say that HIMYM should be on the list. the jokes are stupid and stale, and the writing is just plain sloppy :/

    I Disagree with 666 PA & American Horror Story being the worst television show. I don't watch Scandal but I've heard pozitive feedback, so I doubt that too...
    For me Revolution was the greatest disappointment of 2012

    I consider none of these shows bad.

    The Neighbors - I quite enjoy the characters and the silliness. What's more important is that it makes me laugh.

    666 Park Avenue - Too dark for my taste, but the production quality is high for TV.

    I think Scandal is way too awesome and well done for it to be even considered for this list, but I'm glad it's finally being acknowledged that 2 Broke Girls sucks. The majority of the jokes are horrible sexual innuendos and Kat Dennings is just god awful.

    Emily Owen, Made in Jersey, The Mod Doctor, 666 Park and Animal Practice. Tho i donot watch Scandal anymore i don't think its the worse,nor Chicago Fire, or Raising Hope.

    For everything else meh,can take em or leave em.

    Why in the world are Scandal and American Horror Story even on this list? There are excellent performances and originality in both. And I would hardly agree that Glee is a "worst show of 2012," it had the potential to be with last season's graduation, but I think it is doing just fine with the new cast, Kate Hudson, etc. I'm really enjoying it.

    For me, I voted Whitney, The Mob Doctor, and Emily Owens.

    Voted for AHS. I love horror, but AHS is ludicrous and tedious at the same time. There's no light and shade, just hopelessness and torture and gloom, with the victims defeated constantly. There are some good ideas, but they don't go anywhere, just sink into the general mire. It's like watching a hamster's wheel. Bad people behave badly, good people make bad decisions, and on and on it goes. Bet they'll do the Boy In the Box story and end it in the same old tedium of despair.

    Beauty and The Beast takes the cake, I gave it 5 episodes and it's absolutely embarrassing: the acting sucks, the writing sucks and some aspects of the show are to be laughed it. It's one of those cases in which ratings do reflect the quality of the show, that's why it's flopping, even with the stron The Vampire Diaries lead-in.

    What in the hell are Scandal and AHS doing on THR's list? I watch neither show (although Scandal looks somewhat like my kind of show) but I've heard more good things than bad about them.


    I love Malibu Country and 2 Broke Girls but that's just a personal preference. I've read people online knock them down, specifically 2BG. Kinda see why. As for Glee: no comment.

    I avoided some train wrecks like Beauty and the Beast and Malibu Country so I cannot say how they are, but I did attempt to watch Partners, Ben and Kate, and 666 Park Ave and they were AWFUL, AWFUL! By far the worst of the new series this season.


    As for returning shows.... I quit watching Nikita because while I struggled through Season 2, Season 3 was un-watchable to me.

    It's not like he/she can't vote for the worst shows of 2012, but since I watch The Neighbors (and probably most of this shows) is sad to have a "trustworthy" source saying that this shows Suck. Mostly because it drives away people who want to watch it.

    I mean, since previews people say that The Neighbors suck, critics say that suck, and then we have ~6 Million people watching it, every wednesday, and it won't atract more fans because some (that don't even watch it) say that sucks.

    Have to go with :

    Beauty and The Beast - because oh gods...how did anyone even think this was a good idea? I would expect show like this to have run back to back in 90's together with other trainwreck stuff like Cop Rock.

    Glee - I am sorry, but this show is highly offensive now. The first season was alright, but by now? Uhh, so many stereotypes and horrible writing.



    Last man Standing - what? nope nope nope. Get this misogyny incarnate away from me.

    Leave off Mob Doctor, 2 broke girls and Scandal and I would say I either agree or don't have any interest in watching the others. Saying that these aren't the greatest shows but definitely not the worst in my opinion.

    When I saw Scandal on that list I thought WTF? because I've stared watching it very recently and really liked it. Also a few days ago this series made some Top Shows lists and this is quite the opposite of it. But actually this one mention on the worst list allows to show how much support and passion Scandal has. So many people praise it and it seems to gain more viewers every day! So I'm really happy so see reactions like this. :)

  65. Małgorzata21 December 2012 at 03:57

    At first I thought the same as you but I've started following awards predictions some time ago and some nominations for Scandal was not out of the question. Maybe not with SAG(yet) but love from Golden Globes was pretty close, especially for Kerry Washington. If the cricitcs acclaim will be the same or higher for the show in general and the buzz will continue I can easily see some nominations next year(especially from HFPA, as I mentioned before). So we just have to wait and see, I guess.

    2 Broke Girls is the most ridiculous show.....I can't watch the show because the acting is horrible and that girls lips are just horrendous....she looks like a porn waitress and this show is NOT funny. Now the Neighbors is crazy.....but it is supposed to be outlandish...and Gertz is marvelous. 666 is a tearjerker for me I loved that damn show I hate you ABC.
    AHS are you serious .....this show although very creepy ewwww this season is still stellar. The acting always superb. Raising Hope is just plain fun.....Very sad to see 666 and Last Resort go bye bye and yet shows like 2 Broke Girls , Whitney, and other such drivel survive. Very sad .....Ya know it's times like this I miss Barney Miller, The Odd Couple, and all the other oldies but goodies.....I am grateful for Elementary..Perception..Revolution,Supernatural, Dexter, GOT, Boardwalk,New Girl,BBT,Grimm,AHS, Happy New year Dark and all the other bloggers. I am sorry if I missed any of my other shows......
