38. Baby Bob
Talking babies on television? Yes. Rugrats popularized this for a younger audience, but Baby Bob on CBS, which focused on the lives of two parents who realize their six-month-old baby Bob can talk, didn’t do quite as well.
What came to be particularly disturbing was that this show used actual babies, rather than using technology to make their mouths move, with pre-recorded voice-overs. It came off very creepy and reviews were left speechless. “Why” and “What Happened?” were central themes in some of the earlier ones.
39. Modern Men
As with many shows, Modern Men didn’t start off with a terrible concept. WB Television greenlit a script that showcased three single men and their longtime friends working with a life coach to help them get back on the right track, based on individual challenges they were facing. The show itself proved to be a challenge, too.
Reviews were not kind, with US Today calling this one “yet another terrible sitcom that should have never been made”. The show only managed to scrape through seven episodes, and season one was the last we ever heard of it at Warner Brothers.
