While there are plenty of amazing TV shows out there, there's also a whole lot of stinkers. However, there are also some shows that never should've been allowed to air.

Recently, redditor u/lulzForMoney asked, "What is the worst TV show you've ever watched?"

Here are some of the worst responses:

1."Queen for a Day. A few years ago, I looked up the worst TV shows, and this one puts everything to shame. It started in 1945, and four poor mothers went on the show to beg for money. The 'Queen' was chosen by a studio applause meter. This wasn't even 'fake reality' like we’re used to."

"Contestants would hyperventilate and have body language that you could tell they were not faking. The gifts were tied to the sponsors. The show had 10 million viewers in the '50s and lasted from 1945–1964. If you thought modern reality TV was bad, this is the most dystopian shit I’ve ever seen."

2."I'm shocked I haven't seen Heil Honey, I'm Home mentioned. The plot was Hitler and Eva Braun living in an apartment next to a Jewish couple. No, it wasn't a joke. It was actually really a TV show. Only one episode ever aired."

3."There was a game show called The Chamber that lasted on air all of three episodes. Contestants were strapped to a torture chair and subjected to extreme circumstances (like super heat with fire everywhere, super cold where they are freezing) and forced to try to answer questions for prizes and money."

"It was one of the weirdest ideas ever, and pretty much everyone who watched it felt kind of uncomfortable with the level of stuff they subjected these people to."

4."Bridalplasty, where engaged women compete to win cosmetic surgery procedures in time for the big day. When a contestant was voted off, the presenter said something along the lines of 'You will still be getting married, but you won’t be perfect.'"

5."Does anybody remember Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire? It was like The Bachelor, but they couldn't see the guy. They were literally and unabashedly only attracted to his money."

"Turned out after air that everyone was a con artist."

6."The Swan was a show where they turn 'ugly ducklings' into 'swans.'"

7."I Wanna Marry Harry. They didn’t have enough ratings and got canceled after five episodes, but the fact that these women thought they were gonna marry Prince Harry was delusional."

8."The Dr. Oz Show — promoting pseudoscience that can possibly hurt, if not kill, people."

9."Finding Bigfoot — specifically, the episode where they thought Bigfoot wanted a dance party, so they had a rave in the middle of the forest."

10."My buddies and I watched Joe Millionaire when it came out because it was hilarious. Basically, all the girls were told this dude was super rich, but in reality, he was just a pretty good-looking construction worker."

12."Do you remember Fred from YouTube had his own show on Nickelodeon (Fred: The Show) along with three movies? I’m pretty sure they gave him another show there as well (Marvin Marvin)."

15."My Super Sweet 16 on MTV. Years ago, it was probably the only thing on television outside of the news that could make me physically fucking angry."

"I hated it because it represented everything I utterly dislike about a particular kind of wealthy people and their kids who have no idea what it's like to live a regular life, and yet I couldn't stop watching it for a while. I guess I just enjoy being a combination of frustrated, agitated, and mildly jealous in equal measure."

19.And finally: "America's Next Top Model...I loved it at the time, but looking back, it was just a bunch of Tyra Banks bullying young girls."
