There will always be those classic hits on TV where every bands together to binge watch them. Grey’s Anatomy, Orange is the New Black, Friends, Game of Thrones—you can’t even go on Facebook without hearing about one of these shows. Then there are some mediocre shows, you know, the ones we binge-watch when there is nothing else on TV. And then…well…there are those that we just can’t seem to fathom how they ever got the funding to air on TV. These are the shows that make you cringe, the ones that you can’t watch with a straight face. Can’t think of any off the top of your head? Don’t worry, we’ve made a list to remind you about just a few of these bizarre and awful television shows.
1. I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant
Seriously? How can you not know that there’s a human being growing inside of you? Is that even possible?
2. Born In the Wild
Yet another TV show about strange and uncomfortable births. The sanity of those who chose to undergo this TV show is questionable at best.
3. Vanilla Ice Goes Amish
What is a one-hit-wonder musician to do after realizing their career has fizzled out? Somehow his agent thought that becoming Amish and televising his experience would make him that much more successful…
4. Boy Meets Boy
A game show about a house of gay men, half of whom are actually straight, trying to win the affections of a gay suitor. The twist—the straight men had to pretend to be gay in order to win over the host for a cash prize. Just a horrible and cruel premise overall.
5. I Killed My BFF
The crime itself is bizarre enough, but Lifetime took it even further by making it into an actual television series.
6. I Wanna Marry Harry
This show featured a parade of women vying for the love and affection of a man they believed to be Prince Harry, who was actually just a look-alike. The ratings reflected just how strange and unappealing this show was; after airing only four episodes, Fox cancelled the show before even showing the finale.
7. Naked and Afraid
Discovery Channel’s version of Survivor comes with a twist—contestants must survive in the wild…naked. The description says it all.
8. Flavor of Love
Who can forget Flavor Flav’s reality show, where women fought for his attention as he paraded around wearing a massive clock necklace. Honestly, we only watched it for the outrageous host.
9. Dating Naked
VH1 takes the cake with this bizarre show. The title is self-explanatory—the series follows men and women as they date each other, naked. This twist on the dating scene makes Dating Naked one of the most bizarre reality shows ever aired.
