1. Friends

2. Fred: The Show

   

   Fred: The Show is an American television comedy series created by Lucas Cruikshank. It aired on Nickelodeon in the United States from January 16 to August 3, 2012. The series was based on the YouTube character Fred Figglehorn and was canceled after one season.

   For some godforsaken reason, I really liked the Fred movies as a kid. But even as a fan of those, I have always hated this show.

   I had forgotten about this show for years. Thanks to the horrible people of the internet, I have now spent some of my precious time on earth remembering this pain.

   This show isn't just cringeworthy. The fact that it exists is cringeworthy.

3. Avatar: The Last Airbender

   

   Avatar: The Last Airbender is an American animated television series that aired on Nickelodeon for three seasons from 2005 to 2008. It is set in an Asian-inspired world where some people can manipulate the classical elements through psychokinetic techniques based on Chinese martial arts known as "bending."... read more

The show centers on 13-year-old... read more

   Andi is the worst Disney show protagonist ever. All she ever does is cry and whine about everything. She kept antagonizing Amber even before Amber was mean to her just because Amber was dating Jonah.

   It's basically about a thirteen-year-old trying to steal another chick's boyfriend. Also, she happens to be the result of a teen pregnancy. That's about it.

   This makes me want to spit and throw up. What a disgusting show.

   Plus, Andi and Asher aren't even cute or pretty, so they can go sit down in a bad bathroom.

6. The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange

   

   The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange is an American live-action and animated television series. It is based on the characters from the web series The Annoying Orange, which was created by Dane Boedigheimer.

   The television adaptation was developed by Boedigheimer and Tom Sheppard for... read more

   I'm so glad these YouTube shows went away.

7. Mary + Jane

   

8. The Masked Singer

   

9. Sam & Cat

   

   Sam & Cat is an American teen sitcom that originally aired from June 8, 2013, to July 17, 2014, on Nickelodeon.

The Newcomers
11. ?

    Insatiable

    

    Oh wow, this might be the worst thing Netflix has given us. It's basically about a girl with petty grudges who gets plastic surgery because she is insecure. Then, she tries to kill her classmates over these petty grudges.

12. ?

    Velma

    
The Contenders

13. Sanjay and Craig

    

    Sanjay and Craig is an American animated sitcom that aired on Nickelodeon from May 25, 2013, to July 29, 2016. The show ran for three seasons and 60 episodes.

    The series follows a 12-year-old Indian American boy named Sanjay Patel and his best friend, Craig, a talking pet snake. They go on surreal... read more

14. Total Bellas

    WWE really wants to shove the Bellas down our throats. The show isn't even good. The Bellas are annoying. They are so overrated that they are getting their own show when someone else deserves it. They already have a YouTube channel, so either the show or channel has to go.

    The Bellas are already on another show. Do they need another show? They even have a YouTube channel, and they aren't even in WWE anymore. They both don't really wrestle anymore.

    If it weren't for Daniel Bryan, the show would be unbearable. As it is, it's pretty hard to endure.

15. Keeping Up with the Kardashians

    

    Keeping Up with the Kardashians is an American reality television series that aired on the E! network. It premiered in October 2007 and concluded in June 2021 after 20 seasons. The show followed the personal and professional lives of the Kardashian and Jenner families and became one of the network's... read more

    This show has zero reason to exist and should be canceled as soon as possible because the only thing this show can teach us is how we have failed as a society.

    The definitive example of how doing nothing at all makes you famous.

16. Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn

    

    Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn is an American television sitcom produced by Nickelodeon. The series focuses on quadruplets Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn Harper, who are 9 years old at the start of the show. Despite having very different personalities and frequent conflicts, the siblings must work together... read more

    I can't stand this show. It has to be one of Nick's lowest attempts at putting entertainment on their network.

    A bunch of little kids trying to act like teens. Cringe.

17. Bucket & Skinner's Epic Adventures

    

    Bucket and Skinner's Epic Adventures is an American teen sitcom that premiered on Nickelodeon on July 1, 2011. The show follows two best friends, Bucket and Skinner, as they navigate high school life and their love of surfing. It stars Taylor Gray and Dillon Lane and ended after one season.

    It was a Dumb and Dumber rip-off.

18. Here Comes Honey Boo Boo

    

    Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is an American reality television series that aired on TLC. It features the family of child beauty pageant contestant Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson. The show premiered on August 8, 2012, and ran for four seasons until August 14, 2014.

The show followed the lives of eight housemates living together in vacation homes in New Jersey, Miami, and Florence, Italy. It became a cultural phenomenon and led to several spin-offs... read more

    This show pretty much made the entirety of New Jersey look like white trash. Thanks, MTV.

    The fact that only one of them is actually from New Jersey.

20. Dora the Explorer

    

    Dora the Explorer is an American animated preschool educational television series created by Chris Gifford, Valerie Walsh Valdes, and Eric Weiner that originally aired from 2000 to 2019. The show follows Dora, a young Latina girl, as she embarks on adventures with her monkey friend Boots.... read more

21. Ridiculousness

    

    Rob Dyrdek doesn't have 1/10 of the charisma Daniel Tosh has. It's not even a contest for me. Also, the other co-hosts he has are equally obnoxious and unfunny. I'd even argue that Ray William Johnson has better comedic timing than him without even trying too hard. The whole thing this show had going for it was the intro, but even that's not saying much.

22. Teen Titans Go!

    

    Teen Titans Go! is an American animated television series developed for Cartoon Network and produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment. The show follows a group of teenage superheroes called the Teen Titans as they return home from missions and get into silly, everyday adventures. It is... read more

    Teen Titans Go! (TTG) has a mix of episodes ranging from moderate to mediocre. While some episodes are superior to others, many are bland throughout specific seasons. I see what the creators of Teen Titans Go! are aiming for, but the show has little substance in achieving their goal. As a viewer, I can understand their perspective, yet I question whether this approach will support the longevity of Teen Titans Go! in the long run.

    Not to argue, but Teen Titans Go! should be treated a little more seriously and personally, like its predecessor. The blandness of some episodes feels like being on a bad date where the date ghosts you, leaving you to finish the experience alone with no one to help the helpless.

23. Uncle Grandpa

    

    Uncle Grandpa was an American animated surreal comedy television series created by Peter Browngardt for Cartoon Network that ran from September 2, 2013, to June 30, 2017. The series is based on Browngardt's animated short of the same name from The Cartoonstitute. It features a surreal style and follows... read more

The series centers on the Griffins, a family consisting of Peter, Lois, their children Meg, Chris, and Stewie, and their anthropomorphic dog, Brian. The show is set in the fictional city of Quahog... read more

25. Henry Danger

    

    Henry Danger is an American superhero comedy television series that aired on Nickelodeon from July 26, 2014, to March 21, 2020. The show was created by Dan Schneider and Dana Olsen and follows a 13-year-old boy who becomes the sidekick to a local superhero.... read more

    That main boy who plays Henry has to be one of the most annoying, obnoxious, pains in the neck I have ever seen on Nick.

26. The Haunted Hathaways

    

    The Haunted Hathaways is a Nickelodeon sitcom that began airing on July 13, 2013, and ended on March 5, 2015. It tells the story of a single mother and her two daughters who move into a home occupied by three ghosts, a single father and his two sons.... read more
