36. The Phyllis Diller Show
When it comes to putting a popular stand-up comedian and actress on a TV show, you’d think that very little could go wrong. ABC networks launched The Pruitts of Southampton back in 1966 in what was meant to be an I Love Lucy type show. The series was so bad, that soon it had a brand new name altogether.

Low ratings in tow, ABC rebranded the series to more prominently feature their prime rib talent. The now Phyllis Diller Show didn’t do much for ratings, and after just 30 episodes, executives decided that it was time to call it a day.
37. The Ugliest Girl In Town
Where the hell do we start with this? Ok, the plot. The Ugliest Girl in Town was supposed to be an all-American sitcom following the life of a guy called Tim. After a mixup, he is mistaken for a woman, and subsequently lands a job at a modeling agency. We’ve seen how this goes previously.
The Ugliest Girl In Town
Calling him/herself “Timmie”, the lead pretends to be female in order to pay outstanding debt. We can only imagine that “Timmy” was cringing from reading the scripts, and so was ABC. The series didn’t even see its conclusion on the air, being pulled before more complaints came pouring in. Three episodes were never to be seen, with good reason.
