Worst long running TV show ever

[Blarg]

I loved The Courtship of Eddie's Father. Hugely. Bill Bixby was an incredibly sympathetic actor. The dude had fantastic charisma. I found him incredibly watchable. I'm sure I'm not the only kid who wished his father were anything like that.

Well, my dad was an abusive alcoholic, so I'd take Bill Bixby too. (I might have taken Al Bundy, for that matter.) It's just that the show was so damn boring. It was tempting to watch a soap opera instead. Mr. Eddie's Father, indeed.

Mine was a stepdad who hated my guts. There was more than a little wish fulfillment going on in that show for me. I liked a little quiet fantasy. I looked forward to the show in a way I didn't dare let my parents catch on.

I agree with you on the Fat Albert show. That thing was awful. I didn't know any kid who liked it, and every kid I knew actually hated it. A combo of preachy, boring, and flat out stupid.
