  1. The Last Sharknado: It's About Time
    What began as a sublimely ridiculous pop culture sensation devolved over its first five films into just a junky exercise in bloated storytelling and C-list celebrity-spotting. No. 6 is more of the same with an often nonsensical time travel story.
  2. Do Not Disturb: Season 1
    A disapointing and largely laughless comedy set in an upscale New York City hotel.... Do Not Disturb? Try, Do Not Watch.
  3. Sons Of Hollywood: Season 1
    Where the travails, conquests and bad behavior in "Entourage" come off as dramatic, clever and imaginative, "Sons of Hollywood" is just like any other celebreality show: More boorish behavior by rich people.
  4. Knight Rider: Season 1
    Knight Rider is nothing more than car porn.
  5. The World According to Paris: Season 1
    The first season of Hilton's 2003 Fox series "The Simple Life" was an amusing sideshow. The World According to Paris is not nearly as entertaining. The bloom is off the Paris Hilton rose. This new show just proves she's a person no one in their right mind would spend time with in real life.
  6. Momma's Boys: Season 1
    Executive produced by Ryan Seacrest, this sucking wound of a show introduces three guys and their moms who move into a house filled with women.
  7. The Real Wedding Crashers: Season 1
    A show that's more boring than funny, an investment of entertainment time that's not worth making.
  8. Cavemen: Season 1
    Cavemen is itself an embarrassment because it's not funny. At all.
  9. Work It : Season 1
    It's pretty awful.
  10. Stalker: Season 1
    [The pilot episode] winds up having a decent if unlikely resolution to its primary mystery. Even if it’s possible to get past the ugliness of the violence against women in the pilot, it’s hard to imagine that a procedural with such a tight focus won’t get old fast.
  11. Dads: Season 1
    Dads insults all viewers with its lowest common denominator humor. The sitcom, created by Seth MacFarlane, Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild, offers a greatest hits list of time-worn, tired gags.
  12. Tower Prep: Season 1
    The first episode of Tower Prep ends on an intriguing note and the show offers reason for young viewers to come back for more, which is exactly what a pilot episode should do.
  13. Hot in Cleveland: Season 2
    The show remains a not-terrible throwback to the kinds of sitcoms the broadcast networks used to make.
  14. Mobbed: Season 1
    It's less of a flash mob and more of (one hopes) a flash in the pan, the one-and-done special it deserves to be.
  15. Million Dollar Decorators: Season 1
    The primary problem with all this bragging is that it takes time away from seeing the designs, which would seem to be the show's purported raison d'etre.... Million Dollar Decorators also suffers from feeling completely constructed.
  16. Outnumbered (UK): Season 1
    It's a comedy that's more likely to draw recognizable smiles of been-there, experienced-that than it is to conjure real laughs.
  17. Remodeled: Season 1
    Aside from "America's Next Top Model," The CW, now 6 years old, has not had much success creating and launching reality shows. Remodeled may not alter that disappointing track record, but it is more entertaining than some past efforts.
  18. Monster Man: Season 1
    It comes across as a low-rent operation making cheesy effects for the likes of "Hallow Pointe," not a big-budget effects house that works on movies you might have actually heard of.
  19. Savage U: Season 1
    Even a half-hour of these admittedly entertaining Q&As might get old but as a fan of Savage's writing (but not always his advice or views), I was pleasantly surprised that MTV found a way to keep Savage U entertaining throughout.
  20. Baggage Battles: Season 1
    I don't care about the characters, their treasure hunts or how much they make or lose when they gamble that they'll find something of value in a locked storage unit [on "Storage Wars"]. And that's pretty much my reaction to Baggage Battles, too.
  21. XIII The Series: Season 1
    A preposterous action-drama.
  22. Trust Us With Your Life: Season 1
    The series improves slightly in a sketch that's filmed backstage where the improv comics are filmed from above sliding around on the floor on a set designed to make them look like they're standing upright.
  23. Hindenburg: The Last Flight: Season 1
    No question, Hindenburg is a disaster--from start to finish.
  24. Race to the Scene: Season 1
    Rather than three shows, one show would be best: Make The Rock the host, use the settings of "72 Hours" and the casting of Race to the Scene and viewers would be much better off than watching any of these individual new programs.
  25. The Good Wife: Season 5
    It remains the best scripted drama on a broadcast network.
  26. The Fighting Season: Season 1
    It's a series that is at turns dull (Army big wigs doing meet-and-greets with Afghan leaders) and in other moments harrowing as it puts viewers in the trenches as insurgents attack American troops.
  27. The Crimson Field: Season 1
    The wartime setting gives The Crimson Field” more gravitas than a “Downton-style soap but the premiere episode never gets too bleak.
  28. Nashville (2012): Season 4
    The show is nothing more than a soap with good music but it has a sense of humor often enough to keep me entertained.
  29. The Good Wife: Season 7
    The show tries to keep up with the goings-on at Lockhart/Agos, but these stories are awkwardly untethered from the main Alicia plot in the first two episodes of the new season.
  30. The Lion Guard: Season 1
    Bunga stops a gazelle stampede with a big old passing of gas heard and shown in all its green-hued glory. Kids will love it, of course, and it's certainly better than fighting turtles but between tarnishing memories of the original film and that shouting honey badger, Return of the Road won't encourage co-viewing among children and their parents.
