Name a TV show that was a big success but you just can't stand it anymore...

For me, "All In The Family."

They had a couple memorable episodes, like when Archie got trapped in his basement and got plowed.

But otherwise, it sucked.
All they did was screech at each other.

I like my comedy pure and unadulterated.

It's fine if some morals are slipped in but that's about it.

The original cast was the best, IMO.

Especially when you compare it to the show it's based on: Till Death Do Us Part

Now that's screeching. The Bunkers are model of civility by comparison.
