The I-land, yes that show was a mess. I was hoping that more seasons would bring it together but obviously they just dropped it.

Usually, TVTropes’ So Bad It’s Horrible page is a pretty good place to find examples, unfortunately, Kit’s stipulation that if it had to be airing “Currently. If it’s airing, but there hasn’t been a new episode in a year, then it doesn’t count.” Seriously limited my options there, since all the shows on the list were cancelled over a year ago, and the vast majority to last a full season did so only because it appealed to one particular executive and nobody else. The only one I could find that’s still going is an Italian America’s Funniest Home Videos rip-off that’s still going on and repeating the same videos even though they haven’t received anything new since 1995. And even then, it’s apparently no longer on the list and I can't find it in the history pages.

Okay, I found the Italian show, and here's the description:
Quote:* '''''Paperissima''''' (can be translated as "Super Goofs") is basically the Italian edition of ''Series/AmericasFunniestHomeVideos'', but worse in multiple ways. First, the clips that are actually made in Italy are very few (something like 20 homemade clips in each edition, plus a bunch of blooper reels from whatever shows are airing on Mediaset channels at the moment), with most of them being recycled from the American and UK editions of the show. Second, here's the actual problem: ''they stopped getting new clips after a few years''. Yes, the show first aired in 1990, but nowadays the newest clips aired are from ''1995''. They went on for 20 years with the exact same clips, and eventually began to do stuff such as blurring out idents from the earlier editions of the shows to make it look like the clips were aired for the first time, or even ''Wiki: '', expecting that by doing so the audience will believe that Wiki: . Sometimes they Wiki: (then again, which smartphone made since 2015 has a camera with such grainy quality?). Another difference with this version is that funny noises are added to videos where ''people get severely hurt'', and they don't even spare videos with animals, adding the most ear-grating and annoying voices, totally ruining the fun factor that made those shorts funny. The show came in two formats: the regular one that aired weekly until 2013 (usually lasting for no more than two months at a time), and the "Sprint" edition which is still aired as of 2017 (which is a 20-minute version that airs during weekends for most of the year and ''every single day'' during Summer), and both are framed with the hosts doing unfunny sketches (the weekly edition was filmed before a live audience: we can only imagine the experience of watching any opening sketch from the show without the ConspicuousCG used to Wiki: ). Reason it was removed from the list: Looked at some episodes. Didn’t resemble the description of the videos.

I watch Dr. Pol now and then too. It's pretty decent. I enjoy those shows since I grew up with a father who was a veterinarian and saw a lot of the things the TV vets do...I am not interested in the ones in a sterile, high-tech office. I relate more to the vets stomping through ankle deep manure to try to get a cow up with a set of hip clamps hooked to the barn rafters.
dr pimple popper and that foot show. And the eating spicy things challenge. Also ultimate tag is pretty close to those.
