What would you say is the worst influential TV show teens watch today

Unfortunately it's crap like My sweet 16.

Three and a Half Men

Seriously, it's pure garbage. Thank Christ I grew up watching MASH and Archie Bunker.

I haven't read all of the replies, but I'd cast my votes for anything along the lines of so-called reality tv and other unscripted, plotless crap like that. Watching a bunch of half-naked idiots making fools of themselves on an island in front of a tv camera 24/7 is not going to do the viewer any good at all. Best case scenario; complete waste of time. Worst case scenario; teens start to emulate the idiotic, banal, and stupid crap they see on there.

There are parents that let their teens watch Jersey Shore? Gotta be honest if I saw that playing on a television I would immediately smash said TV with a hammer, whether I owned it or not. Okay that's an exaggeration but you get the point.

My personal vote for worst influential teen show... hmmm... has to be that Degrassi teen soap opera crap, I've never actually watched an episode but late at night Teen Nick shows my nostalgic 90s TV programming and they play commercials for Degrassi, it appears to be a bunch of skinny stereotypically attractive teen agers boinking endlessly, partying, and being involved in petty drama. I don't know how bad it really is as I've never watched it but from the commercials it sure as hell ain't no Full House with a moral at the end.

Jersey Shore!!!!!!!! ...... They were talking about it on the "News" aka Entertainment and saying........ 8 Million Viewers seen the show last year!!!!........ 8 Million Sheeple's! ..... now thats scary.... I miss the 90's,80's Tv shows

Which is kinda worrying considering this study: link

Take note, fans of mindless reality shows like "Jersey Shore": New research suggests watching something dumb might make you dumber. In other words, you are what you watch.

The news.
