4. AfterMASH

M*A*S*H was nothing short of massive, and the correct move, once it went off the air, would have been to focus on syndication, rather than creating a not-so-fresh sequel in the form of AfterMASH. Set in a hospital for veterans, the series only managed to convince three of the original cast members to get on board for the idea.

Some of the central themes in the show mimicked its predecessor, which some deemed unnecessary. M*A*S*H has undoubtedly been considered by many as one of the best TV series of all time, but AfterMASH managed to secure the honor in reverse, being dubbed by Time Magazine as one of the “100 Worst Ideas of the Century”. It’s a good idea to leave the show out of our memories as a collective, leaving the M*A*S*H legacy unblemished.

5. The Flying Nun

There isn’t enough time to unpack this disastrous series, so we’re not even sure how to start. With multiple Academy Award-winner, Sally Field, at the helm, the series was about, well, a flying nun. Sister Bertrille had “wings” on the side, which usually resulted in a gust of wind lifting her petite frame and leaving her moving swiftly out of frame.

If you could get past disbelief in the physics, the series was trying to get viewers to buy into the humor, but it didn’t help win over any important critics. When the lead actress expressed her embarrassment of being a part of a show, in conjunction with a lot of negative reviews, it made sense that people have steered clear of this one.
