Worst sitcom

...of recent years

Life of Riley. There may just possibly be programmes less funny, but never has there been a sitcom more joyless. At no point during the making of the programme did anyone think "this is going to be great", it is just TV ground out to fill a perceived need by people with nothing but contempt for the audience.

I've only watched 10 minutes of Life of Riley, but could well have sat through more (not comfortably I hasten to add)
Him & Her on the other hand, I managed 2 or 3 minutes on two different episodes before giving up

Oh yeah Coming Of Age.
Well of course that goes without watching.

My Family.
That Superhero thing with Father Dougal McGuire.
Nathan Barley.

We can't forget the dreadful Big Top.

Each to their own but I rather enjoyed Big Top for all its faults. I do not object to failure, it is not trying to be good that incenses me.

Oh and Nathan Barley was superb.

I've just put up an TOWIE thread, so what do I know? I tried with NB, but just couldn't get into it.

...of recent years

Ah, how recent is 'recent'?

Last 5 years

The Gemma Factor wasn't exactly laugh-a-minute.

The Trip was tortuous.

Lab Rats and Clone had their plusses, but weren't exactly amazing.

And plenty of pilots I could mention too!

That Superhero thing with Father Dougal McGuire.

My Hero.

Hyperdrive and Saxondale weren't exactly awful.

Just a let down considering the writers/cast etc.

Although to be fair both picked up in series 2.

I almost mentioned Saxondale as a good candidate.

Saxondale I quite liked (and I am not much of Steve Coogan fan).
