A Beautiful Disaster
29 July 2018
This was considered by most to be the worst Canadian TV series of all time from the 1970s until other networks made worse (i.e. CBC's "XPM"). The Comedy Network in particular produced a solid number of equally awful flops the first 10 years or so of their existence. Notably the universally despised "PopCultured with Elvira Kurt" but also "Girls Will Be Girls", "Keys to the VIP", "Punched Up", "Upload Yours"..... the list goes on and on.

It was poorly produced with awful sets, acting, writing, direction... but at least it was likable, charming and hilarious in ways other than the creators intended. It was bad but in a "so bad it's funny" kind of way. That's why this show is considered one of the worst but also has kind of a beloved status among TV audiences in Canada, unlike a lot of those other shows I mentioned, which are just "bad but not even in a funny way bad".
