Every year at that moment there are a few shows that take the cancellation bullet, much to the dismay of fans. There are petitions, mass mailings, and declarations of never watching that network again. On the other hand … every year there are additionally those shows that meet the TV reaper that really had it coming. We’ve had decent of their poor TV and we’re not going to take it anymore.

The good riddance award is for those shows. Not only will you not miss them, you’ll gladly cheer as the funeral procession passes you by. There is no shortage of contenders as we rap up the ‘07/’08 season. The first to ping my radar included Next Great American

Band. Good grief, so much was wrong about that show. And while we’re looking at that ill-fated Fox Friday, let’s throw Nashville on the pile as well. CBS has a couple contenders in Secret Talents of the Stars and Viva Laughlin. How do you screw up getting frickin’ Wolverine on your network? Of course, we’d be remiss whether we didn’t offer a tip of the cap to ABC and the Cavemen as well. Those are just a few from my perspective. Add your contenders in the comments and we’ll boil it all down to a really great list, of really not good TV.
