44. The Jerry Springer Show
Once labeled as, “The worst show in the history of television”, by a reviewer, The Jerry Springer Show showed some surprising longevity in the industry. After debuting in 1991, it aired for a whopping 27 seasons, with over 3,800 episodes of dramatic altercations making their way to screens around the world.

With some popular episode titles like, “I’m Leaving My Baby Mama”, “A Man Marries a Horse” and “Your Groom is a Cheater”, viewers weren’t exactly expecting hard-hitting investigative journalism from The Jerry Springer Show. Host, Jerry Springer, was famously quoted saying, “I would never watch my own show.” It’s worth taking reviews with a pinch of salt, while simultaneously watching with an air of discretion.
45. The War At Home
Premiering on September 11 in 2005, The War At Home created controversy since the day it hit television screens. The show, which included a pre-Oscar winning Rami Malek, followed a Long Island-based family and the drama surrounding their lives. The only entertaining part of this show was the number of hilarious reviews it got in the week after it was released.

Including some of the most cringe-inducing storylines, many said that the show had “absolutely nothing going for it” (thanks Boston Globe.) Others called it “exceedingly obnoxious”. Chicago Sun-Times went as far as to say that “If this is America, I want out”. Not exactly the kind of review you should be aiming for, right?
