42. Dads
It seems that being a 30-something-year-old isn’t hard enough, so one show decided to create a show where a 30-something-year-old has his dad move into his house to take it up a level. Produced by Fox, this sitcom followed actors Wellesley Wild and Alec Sulkin and their adventures with their fathers, who move in with them unexpectedly.

The show was widely criticized by reviewers right from its launch. As you can tell, the criticisms ended up being funnier than the content of the show itself. Penned “aggressively predictable” by one critic, with the Miami Herald comparing the humor to “an elementary school flatulence contest”, it wasn’t a surprise when it joined an elite list of bad shows with a 0% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
43. Rules of Engagement
It’s safe to say that Rules of Engagement initially showed a lot of good signs and a recipe for success. Produced by Happy Madison Productions (Adam Sandler), it did have a fair run on the air but even though it had seven full seasons, critics could never quite understand just why it was popular to begin with, when it wasn’t actually very good.

Small fan base advises critics were quick to put it down across the board. USA Today kept things interesting by calling it, “One of those sitcoms that makes people who hate sitcoms hate sitcoms.” With predictable jokes leading the charge each week, Salon Magazine called the storylines as “insufferable as the punch lines”. Yikes.
