Knowing Hollywood it’s probably gonna be anti white man and force politics down our throats. That 70’s show was my favorite non cartoon tv show growing up. But like I said they will probably try and market it towards women and minorities. Nothing wrong with that but as a white guy they aren’t making it for me anymore so hopefully the women will watch. Don’t remember very many girls watching that show though lol.

[@matthewmcguirk5287]

Almost like being an actor is a profession that takes time, effort and hard work to master. Using success on KZbin to force your way into other mediums is disrespectful, he should stay on KZbin where the talent-less belong.

[@loganarnoldkicks4321]

@@matthewmcguirk5287 There’s no need to be bitter, dude. Whether you want to hear it or not, KZbinrs are talented. They wouldn’t be so successful if they didn’t have something to offer that others don’t. Considering many KZbinrs make their living off of posting videos and can afford some of the things that they do, it’s as valid a job as acting is. Lucas never wanted to be an actor, he just got the opportunity to make a movie and film and TV shows because of his videos. He did all that was obligated in his contract and now lives happily, away from acting.

The sad part about the Charlie’s Angels reboot is that you can see the potential and the whole thing not quite making it. The last episode before it’s cancellation showed that there was an interesting plot coming up. Too bad the acting was either too unbelievable or too corny. The scenes and plot lines themselves were really enjoyable (for me anyway). If you want a worse spinoff, play Danger Girls on PS1. Even if every tv show of 2023 hit the mark, one will do it a little bit under quota and be the worst, even if it is gold compared to anything on this list.

[@heatherr0420]

The beauty part of the original series which I adore and I'm not just referring to the beautiful women, what's that it had a basis of good story announced with a little campiness. I think the new show, among other things wrong with it took itself too seriously

[@itslouiemoo8018]

One of the biggest problems with Knight Rider 08 was that they changed K.I.T.T.'s voice at the last second from Will Arnett to Val Kilmer. The promotional ads with Will Arnetts voice was so good, when they changed it to Val Kilmer, he tried too much to sound like a robot and it just didn't work. They had to change it because in the show K.I.T.T. was a Ford Mustang and Will Arnett at the time was doing commercials for another car company so it ended up being a conflict of interest. I feel like the show could've done better if it never changed.

I will add Off The Map to this list, about some doctors without borders. It was filled with every trop imaginable, everybody had a horrible past, etc., but the worst was Dr. Otis Cole, who had waaaaay too many signatures-every day he sat on the porch, feet up on the railing, hat slung over his eyes, toothpick in his teeth, spouting wisdom while looking asleep-we were supposed to think him wise beyond what he really was. This show had a good premise but really undelivered.

[@arvislegend]

I whole-heartedly disagree with Off Centre. John Cho carried that show and the stories for each episode were truly unique and unlike anything else on TV at the time. I'm sure there were other TV shows in 2001 that were much worse than Off Centre.

[@pghbekka]

I almost agree with you - but then I also realize I don't remember *any* moments from the show that didn't involve John Cho or Jason Winston George's characters. So I think it was probably a bad show with some really good bits, that could have been a great show if the main character was Chau Presley.

[@arvislegend]

​@@pghbekka ​ This video purposely cherry-picked some of the worst bits the show had to offer during its 2 season run just to enforce their argument that the WHOLE show was bad and that's just completely untrue. For every "tired trope" that Off Centre ever had; they would double down with something completely original and hilarious. I noticed that the clips they featured were only from the first two episodes of the show. My money says that WatchMojo ONLY saw the first two episodes and made their decision totally missing out on the other completely original and unique stories the show actually had. Hell, Off Centre did an entire episode on Mike being uncomfortable having sex with Liz while she was having her period. I defy WatchMojo to name me one other show that ever did that prior to Off Centre; I'll wait. Off Centre was a truly unique TV show that had a great cast and gave the world the beautiful gift of John Cho as Chau Presley; easily the show's funniest character. While I agree that some of the best moments on the show did include John Cho and Jason George as Chau Presley and Status Quo; I'd argue that there were some memorable moments for all the main characters. I just find it really hard to believe that out of that entire year of TV shows in North America; WatchMojo singled out Off Centre for being the worst show that year. I don't buy it. Do your homework WatchMojo, the entire 2 season run is on KZbin; I suggest you watch all of it and then re-evaluate.

[@nataku66666]

The Knight Rider show was actually good. and when they did the KARR episode they had Peter Cullen repraise his role as KARR from the original. Plus I knew the guys of Shelby who did the work on the Shelby Mustang that was used for the show. Showed me pics and everything.

So far the worst for 2023, imo atleast, would have to be velma... On paper, an adult animated Scooby-Doo show sounds amazing, but this isn't it. it's just trying way too hard, it's everything thats wrong with modern remakes, it turns these beloved characters into unlikable asses, and it seems more like a fanmade parody of the real thing rather than an actual reboot/remake/spin-off, idk what'd you'd call it, I call it trash
