17 TV Shows With Shockingly Bad Premises

17 TV Shows With Terrible Premises And Plots

Another show with an admittedly bizarre premise was the ’90s sitcom Dinosaurs. Initially dismissed as a kid-friendly knockoff of The Simpsons, the show proved to be surprisingly funny, packed with subversive storytelling, and ended with one of the darkest series finales in TV history. That said, not every show with a weird premise sticks the landing — some are just plain bad and probably should have raised some red flags when they were pitched. I rounded up a few that range from WTF? to “Who the hell approved that?!”:

1.

Aliens in the Family (1996)

2.

Hi Honey, I’m Home! (1991–92)

4.

My Mother the Car (1965-66)

5.

Out of this World (1987–91)

6.

The Charmings (1987–88)

7.

Struck by Lightning (1979)

9.

The Ugliest Girl in Town (1968–69)

10.

Holmes & Yoyo (1976—77)

11.

The Munsters Today (1988—91)

12.

Small Wonder (1985—89)

14.

Jennifer Slept Here (1983—84)

15.

Teen Angel (1997—98)

16.

The Brady Bunch Hour (1976—77)
