[Angela Channing]

Any list that claims Cop Rock was a bad show doesn't deserve to be taken seriously.

 

[Daniel Avery]

I guess I should be relieved that while I recognized/remembered many of these failures, I wasn't a regular viewer of a single one listed. I saw one or two episodes of The Ropers and the pilot episode of Life With Lucy, but I can only trust the judgment of others regarding the rest of these. Some are only known because of their (bad) reputation--I think Turn On and You're In the Picture are famous for being cancelled after one airing (each).

 

[Snarky Oracle!]

God, can't they leave MY MOTHER THE CAR alone??

 

[Daniel Avery]

I hear the spin-off, My Uncle The Food Processor was much better received, but the network had no option but to cancel after the....um, accident involving guest star Martha Stewart.

Cop Rock, despite bad dancing, was otherwise a quality show with a fine plot, good acting and singing, and some genuinely stunning scenes.

The Flying Nun is sweet and harmless.

Barney is banal though....

Some of these were bona fide hits - Hogan's Heroes for one - which doesn't necesaarily mean it's "good", of course. Whatever "good" is. Conversely, a short run doesn't necessarily equate to a bad show.

I think Turn On and You're In the Picture are famous for being cancelled after one airing (each).

I've never seen it but I believe Turn On was a rip-off of Laugh-In. Interestingly, I see that one of the stars was Teresa Graves who later became a Laugh-In regular.

God, can't they leave MY MOTHER THE CAR alone??

I liked My Mother, the Car. Then again I was very young.

Cop Rock, despite bad dancing, was otherwise a quality show with a fine plot, good acting and singing, and some genuinely stunning scenes.

The Flying Nun is sweet and harmless.

Agreed on both.
