The series was based on the YouTube character Fred Figglehorn and was canceled after one season due to low ratings and poor critical reception... read more 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.
Avatar: The Last Airbender is an American animated television series that aired on Nickelodeon for three seasons from 2005 to 2008.

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.
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 and Spencer Grove... read more I'm so glad these YouTube shows went away.

It is a crossover spin-off/sequel of both iCarly and Victorious, starring Jennette McCurdy as Sam Puckett and Ariana Grande as Cat Valentine.

It premiered in 1997 and features a panel of women discussing current events, politics, and pop culture. The show has won multiple Daytime Emmy Awards and remains a prominent... read moreThe Newcomers
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.
Sanjay and Craig is an American animated comedy television series that aired on Nickelodeon from May 25, 2013, to July 29, 2016. The show ran for three seasons and 60 episodes... read more
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.
Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn is an American television sitcom produced by Nickelodeon. The series focuses on quadruplets Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn Harper, who start out as 10-year-olds and later turn 11 during the show. Despite having very different personalities and frequent conflicts, the siblings... 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.

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 was canceled after one season. It was a Dumb and Dumber rip-off.
'Teen Titans Go!' is an American animated television series produced by Cartoon Network. 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 a revival and comedic spin-off of the original 'Teen Titans'... 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.
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.
Henry Danger is an American superhero sitcom television series that aired on Nickelodeon. 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.

Smith and aired on The CW from September 10, 2009 to March 10, 2017. Spanning eight seasons and 171 episodes, the show gained a large fanbase... read more

It later aired on Treehouse TV, where its final episode was broadcast on October 3, 2010... read more Not only does this fail as a kids' show, it fails on just about every conceivable level. Bad characters, bland art style, bad plots, bad jokes, bad writing, bad morals, bad everything. PBS should be ashamed that they're still showing this to children.
Why is Avatar above this steaming pile of trash? Caillou himself is exactly what you'd get if Aang had no likable or redeeming character traits whatsoever.
This should be on the first list.
Fanboy & Chum Chum is an American CGI animated television series created by Eric Robles for Nickelodeon. It is based on an animated short titled Fanboy, which Robles created for Random! Cartoons and Frederator Studios. The show aired as a preview on October 12, 2009, and officially premiered on November... read more Absolutely horrible. The fact that it passed through television officials and actually made it to air baffles me.
Breadwinners is an American animated television series created by Gary "Doodles" DiRaffaele and Steve Borst for Nickelodeon. The show originated as an animated short created in DiRaffaele's apartment in Studio City, Los Angeles, in collaboration with Borst... read more Easily the worst cartoon Nick ever made.

The show followed the lives of eight housemates spending their summer together in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. It became a cultural phenomenon and led to several spin-offs and international... 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.
