2. My Mother the Car
You may not have heard of the 1965 comedy series, My Mother The Car, but it’s safe to say you can assume what you want about the plot based on the title alone. In a nutshell, an attorney (and family man) buys a car that ends up being his recently deceased, now reincarnated mother. “Mom” ends up talking to him through the car stereo and what results is comedy catering to acquired tastes.

Midway through, the show creators decided it would be a good idea to get rid of the laugh-track, which left a lot of fans confused. While it tried to take on a bit more of a serious tone, certain lines that did intend to be funny fell flat on the ground. This helped to land it at the second-highest spot on”TV Guide’s list of the Worst TV Shows”.
3. Cop Rock
With aplenty crime shows on the airwaves these days, you don’t have to look very far to find something catering to your particular field of interest. One thing this genre most certainly didn’t ask for, was a cop show incorporating show tunes. This quickly became evident when Cop Rock debuted, only to be canceled shortly after.

In a memorable song and dance number, which was supposed to compliment the serious tone of the series, a woman battling substance abuse sang about her attempts to sell a baby for a couple of hundred dollars. When asked what he took away from doing the show, creator Steven Bocho echoed that it didn’t make sense to have music in a cop show. We wholeheartedly agree.
