28. Happy Hour
You can offer us a world of cheap drinks, but no amount of alcohol will give way to use indulging in the dreary show that is Happy Hour. When fans heard that the creators of That 70’s Show were working on a new project, they were optimistic as to what was to come, only to be let down by what was actually created.
Happy Hour
The series focused on two guys, with one attempting to rebuild his life after some personal turmoil. He didn’t get much of a chance to rebuild after all, as the ratings were so bad, that Fox cut it short after four episodes, leaving nine others in the dust. As the Washington Post put it, watching it was “sheer, excruciating pain”. There’s no coming back from that.
29. Rob
With hit movies like Deuce Bigalow and Hot Chick under his belt, there were high hopes for Rob Schneider’s self-titled series, Rob, when it was first around. Yet again, a glowing film resume doesn’t lead to television success. Rob was centered around a man who marries a Mexican-American woman, adding himself to a family of quirky and eccentric characters.

While his family got bigger, ratings didn’t. Backlash ensued right from when it premiered, earning the title of “worst new show” from one critic in 2012. Others said it was “wildly stereotypical” and that it emphasizes an unfair portrayal of modern Mexican-Americans. USA Today didn’t mince their words on this one, referring to it as “second rate”.
