I don't know about you, but sometimes when a television show is an absolute abomination, I'm more likely to tune in on occasion. I have friends who will sit around with me for the express purpose of making fun of seriously bad television. Sure, we're ne'er do wells, but we enjoy ourselves.

This brief look at seven awful shows from the 1980s includes one that will always have a dedicated space in the horrors of television ingrained in my memory: Small Wonder. It's so terrible, it's almost enjoyable.

Those who compiled this list write that they

"culled our choices from fan reception, critical vitriol, and TV Guide’s widely cited 2002 list of the worst TV shows of all time. If you can’t get enough bad TV, then check out this list of the worst shows of the following decade as well."
