I wonder if anybody out there are fans of comedies that are technically bad (poor scripts, wooden acting, etc) but are weirdly enjoyable? As for me, I have very fond memories of Saved By The Bell, a dire American sitcom about schoolkids. I used to watch it while a student, and found myself lying in bed chortling at the lame adventures of Screech and Mr Belding. I also really enjoyed that atrocious Frank Skinner ITV1 sitcom from a few years back, where he played a taxi driver.
Half of the stuff I love would be considered to fit into those categories by some!
I liked that Frank Skinner sitcom aswell. It was very bad but Frank just acted like he normally does so it was just like watching him on the Frank Skinner show or B and S unplanned.
I loved Saved by the Bell. Even watched the college spin off. But not the sex tape, i'm not that big a fan.
Saved By The Bell was genius!
ooh, Kelly Kapowski. 
As much as I love Curb, some of the acting is hilarious.
I'm not actually sure if it was on purpose, but in the episode were Larry finally appears in The Producers and it cuts to the audience after some things gone wrong, their all sat there with their mouths gaping open, it just looks really bad.
Rentaghost. Dunno why. Miss Poppoff probably. I used to just watch it to hear her name & be in hysterics. Bad bad programme.
Frank Skinner's thing was called Shane - his show that is - and in a way reminds me of Not Going Out in that theres lots of really funny gags but the story lines and acting are a bit lame.

What sex tape is this exactly? Sounds a little... Worrying?
Screech did a sex tape. It's really f**king weird. Not even funny, just sad.
Burn the witch!

These two sentences capture it!
SbtB was the first American sitcom shown here... and I loved it back then. Two years ago when I discovered a certain way to watch things that aren't on TV, I did grab it and watched... and I was amazed. At how my stomach could cringe.
College Years was half-decent, though. The New Class was so hilariously terrible I just couldn't make it through more than few episodes. I couldn't believe they did not have end-captions that say, for example: "And the moral of this episode is - never cheat your friends out of money!"
Rentaghost was fantastic. But proper scary. Mind you I was only 5.
I only liked Saved by The Bell during the Zack years.
I thought the guy who played Zak, became quite a good actor, I saw him in a movie once and he stole the show, he's also in one of those NYPD-CSI Blue: on the street, cop shows.
Yes! That's true, I'd forgotten he's a proper actor now.
The only one that made good.
I've actually been watching Saved by the Bell for the bast couple of months. Always saw it when I was younger, but never watched it. If anything, I only enjoy it because it reminds me of the early 90s. Strangely enough, I miss those times. Bad style, bad hair, bad music, but...I guess you always end up missing the times you were a child.
