Has anyone seen the stuff thats getting put on TV latley...I dont realy know their names, but there always trying these sitcoms that fail. Their realy terrible and just take up airtime. I dont have cable and this is all i ever see when i turn on my TV. Why do they do this? well the worst of all the channels would probably have to be UPN. I think they have the worst sitcoms.

Girlfriends
one on one
The hughleys
They also had that mullet show..

Now come on, does anyone here seriously like these shows..And if not why do they keep making them.

I only watched UPN for two things:

-- Smackdown!
-- The Mullets

I'm not a big sitcom fan, but some shows spark my interest. Mullets was funny to me for some odd reason. It had a Dumb & Dumber quality to it.

I've never heard of any of those shows. I have cable, and watch mostly Cartoon Network, The History Channel, and Turner Classic Movies. Rarely is my TV on any non-cable channel.

They're cheap to produce, easy to follow, bring in revenue by way of advertisement and are [generally] better than dead air. Every once in a while someone will produce a show that strikes comedic gold, but you've got to wade through all that mindless rubbish to find 'em.

Cable's where its at, anyway.

Ditto. I have On Demand now, too, so I usually wind up watching old 1940's movies and cheesey B horror flicks they throw on there. The only sitcoms I ever watched with any interest was Seinfeld and to a much lesser extent, Fraiser.
