1. "The Jeff Dunham Show"

I was warned that the alleged comedian had a rabid following, and it proved to be true. The ventriloquist is the top-grossing standup act in North America. But Dunham and his dummies - Jose Jalapeno on a Stick! Achmed the Dead Terrorist! - must be an acquired taste.
Don't just take my word for it. One commenter on my blog wrote, "I think that Jeff Dunham is funny in his regular comedy shows, but when his first episode of this new show came out, I cried."

But this one has a happy ending: Comedy Central just canceled it.

2. "The Prisoner"

In this remake of the revered '60s series, Jim Caviezel played a tormented man named 6, and that's how many hours I lost watching this beautiful waste. I must stop the cycle now.

3. "Accidentally on Purpose"

Is there anything less entertaining than a cougar who jumped on the trend too late? Jenna Elfman plays a thirtysomething who picks up a twentysomething and has unprotected sex with him. Because getting pregnant from a one-night stand is funny! The only way this show could have been worse is if it had been paired with . . .

4. "Find My Family"

I can't get past the shameless premise. Sure, ABC, it sounds nice when you call it an "adoption reunion." But even I know where to draw the line, and dredging up decades-old dirt is not heartwarming. If adoptees want to seek their birth parents, I'm all for it. But I shouldn't be a part of it.

5. "Forgotten"

You've forgotten what this series even is, haven't you? Even those of us who've been with Christian Slater since "Heathers" have abandoned this one.

6. "HawthoRNe" and "Mercy"

HBO's superior "Nurse Jackie" made these shows seem even more sappy and stereotypical than they are. Which is pretty sappy and stereotypical.

7. "Melrose Place"

Did Ashlee Simpson ruin this revival from the beginning? The actors aren't that awful, the plotting isn't that silly. But camp classic "Melrose Place" deserved better. And for that, I can't forgive.

8. The Nadya Suleman interview

I love me some Ann Curry. But when she wasn't interviewing Angelina Jolie about her humanitarian work, she was giving inflated-face time to cheap knockoff Nadya Suleman. You can't have it both ways, Ann. Choose! I think I cringed the most when Suleman said, "If I was just sitting down watching TV and not being as determined as I am to succeed and provide a better fture for my children, I believe that would be considered, to a certain degree, selfish." I don't care how many kids you have, but how dare you dump on TV?

9. "Jon & Kate Plus Eight"

Enough has been said about this TV train-wreck. I hated myself for watching. Those poor kids -- but you know who's been the real loser in this whole tragedy? Ed Hardy. I can't even look at his tiger-butted jeans anymore without thinking of Jon Gosselin, the world's worst ex.

10. "Bromance"

Here's the concept of the MTV show: Brody Jenner is looking for a buddy. Really? How could he possibly top Spencer Pratt? Jenner may be pretty, but he's a reality-show bottom-feeder, and a proud one at that.

So how did this saga turn out? Jacob was dismissed for an unimpressive toast at the lingerie party; Jered[cq] was eliminated for refusing to dance during the dance-off. I do not know anyone who caught the finale. At press time, the step-Kardashian had not yet procreated, but I do weep for the future.
