    It's definitely too laughably convoluted to go into.

    Weird can be good, but this isn’t intentionally weird so much as it is plain bad.
    • Metascore: 37
    • Tim Goodman 12
    The writing here is trite, the premise flimsy and the acting bad.

    If "The War at Home" spent more time on good jokes instead of recycling every gimmick ever seen on TV, it might merely be mediocre, but it's worse.

    The predictability and triteness of "Head Cases" make it difficult to type even a sentence in favor of any part of this series.

    "The Game" commits all the sins you can imagine in a poorly conceived sitcom. It goes for laughs and sap, the world's most dangerous and noxious combination. It's also not funny, believable, interesting or... inspired.

    • Tim Goodman 12
    Bad? It's a leech on your soul. Never have 22 minutes so felt like 44 minutes.

    If you remember nothing about this column, remember this: "Hot Properties" is stupid and annoying.

    We watched a second episode of "Crumbs" just to make sure there wasn't something hilarious for you under a rock, some morsel of humor left over. Um, no.
    • Metascore: 28
    • Tim Goodman 12
    Woefully bad.

    It's pointless to talk about who "stars" in this bloated music video, but the agents for both Vanessa Williams and Giancarlo Esposito need to be fired, summarily.
    • Metascore: 25
    • Tim Goodman 12
    Preposterously unfunny.
    • Metascore: 23
    • Tim Goodman 12
    It's a coming-of-age story so overwrought and emotionally predictable, it's -- what's the word here? -- unwatchable.
    • Metascore: 28
    • Tim Goodman 10
    Dull, dimwitted and offensive.

    Dallas is terrible....The writing is brutal and obvious, the acting is comical, and none of it is bettered by the directing.
    • Metascore: 38
    • Tim Goodman 10
    It's a show that should never have been put on paper to begin with.
    • Metascore: 37
    • Tim Goodman 10
    Partners plays like an idea written on a napkin, if that, and looks like it's from another era (a long past era, if that wasn't clear).
    • Metascore: 26

    Lohan is woeful as Taylor from start to finish.... The best part is that it gets worse as it goes on, so in the right company with the right beverages, Liz & Dick could be unbearably hilarious toward the tail end of the 90-minute running time.

    You won't see any worse acting across the broadcast spectrum. The women-in-peril scenes are vile. The writing is atrocious. The series is horrifically bad. And not in a way that would make a good drinking game.

    It's stupid and annoying and a retread of countless other stupid and annoying, totally unoriginal WB sitcoms.
    • Metascore: 33

    Terrible writing, painful acting, forced comic situations.

    As for "The Loop," well, it's just heinous. True, we've said that before. But it can't be said enough. "The Loop": heinous.

    "The Bedford Diaries" is just woeful -- the most trite, forced and stage-managed piece of empty titillation you're likely to see.

    It's awful.

    No series in recent memory has put so much attention on a pair of breasts.... Oh, and the show is terrible.

    This is probably the worst sitcom of the fall.

    Insipid, poorly written and saddled with an onerous laugh track, "The Winner" is lame even by Fox's standards.
    • Metascore: 51

    45 minutes of bad writing, bad acting and bad storytelling.

    It's just heinous. Absurd, laughable, painful to watch--you name it, Moonlight has it all.

    It's the kind of bad that sells cheese or gets entertainment presidents fired--one or the other, or both.
