Every week, IndieWire asks a select handful of TV critics two questions and publishes the results on Tuesday. (The answer to the second, “What is the best show currently on TV?” can be found at the end of this post.)
This week’s question: What is the worst show you’ve ever reviewed? Why was it so bad? Did you waver over the grade or rating you gave it?
Daniel Fienberg (@TheFienPrint), The Hollywood Reporter
I’ve compared “Mixology” to contracting TV herpes, “Fuller House” to exhuming a bloating, gaseous corpse and called “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders” the perfect xenophobic TV show for Trump’s America. Still, there’s little doubt that no show has ever made me so irate for its mere misguided existence than a little show called “H8r” on The CW. If you don’t remember “H8r” the premise was this: Mario Lopez drives his F-list celebrity...

Two new reality shows are coming to the CW. The network has ordered "The Hunt" and "Perfect Score," Mark Pedowitz, The CW president announced Wednesday.
The CW described "The Hunt" as "an intense wilderness competition" in which twelve teams of two set out in the great outdoors without any food, water or shelter and must "capture each other" to win a cash prize.
"Perfect Score" is dating show that challenges its participants to pick a potential partner they are well-suited for. Contestants can find love -- and win cash -- by determining which of twelve possible matches a compatibility test has determined is the best fit for them.
Premiere dates have yet to be announced for either series.
While The CW has found a niche in scripted programming aimed at young female viewers, the network has yet to find much success in its forays into reality TV. "The Catalina," which...

Pop quiz, class. Pencils up, only one question.
I made it multiple choice because, y'know, I care and stuff.
The America's Next Top Model fragrance, which is set to launch at the end of cycle 17, will smell like ___________________.
a. Booty tooch sweat, Nicole from cycle five's lost Red Bull, and the pee that Robin let out in cycle one during the snake photo shoot.
b. An empty bottle of Mr. Jay's hair dye that's been sitting in the garbage for weeks, the remnants of a drain in Andre's salon that hasn't been cleaned in a while, and the tears of wayward models from sea to shining sea.
c. The crushed dreams of stardom from everybody associated with Shedding for the Wedding, Fly Girls, H8R, Blonde Charity Mafia, High Society, Farmer Wants a Wife, Plain Jane, and Stylista.
d. Girlicious.
I'll give you a second to think.

The CW might've canceled "H8R," but irrational celebrity hatred lives on.
Just this week a Dallas news anchor refused to even utter Kim Kardashian's name when discussing her 31st birthday (Oct. 21) on-air because he was so disgusted that she was an actual famous person people care about.
Well, "Good Morning Dallas" anchor Tim Ryan, we understand you all too well. Here at Zap2it, there are plenty of people we dislike so much it hurts to say their names. In honor of your brave stand against inexplicable reality star Kim Kardashian, here are the people whom, much like Voldemort, we can't even mention by name.
Paris HiltonEvery time I re-watch "Veronica Mars," I get to the second episode and become infuriated that Paris Hilton sullied one of my all-time favorite shows. It is grossly unfair that someone so disgusting and stupid has so much money. - Andrea Reiher

Everyone's favorite socialite Kim Kardashian turns 31 on Friday (Oct. 21).
It's been an interesting life for the one-time Paris Hilton sidekick. Over the past few years, she's become internationally famous, starred in a highly-rated reality show and achieved wealth that many of us could only dream of.
In honor of Kim turning 31, we've compiled a list of 31 of her career highlights and lowlights.
1. Her sex tape with Ray J which catapulted her to fame.
2. She launched a music career, or perhaps better put, the singular song "Jam."
3. Sued Old Navy for using someone who looked like her (Melissa Molinaro) in their commercials.
4. Had a two-part, four-hour wedding extravaganza on E! that drew a combined 8.4 million viewers.
5. Served as guest hostess of WrestleMania Xxiv.
6. Had a wedding that cost a reported $20 million.
7. Launched the ill-fated Kardashian Kard which was quickly sacked for charging excessive fees.
8. Got her own wax figure at New York's Madame Tussauds.

This is perhaps the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.
There are plenty of people out in the world who could care less about the Kardashians, like... really care less. And then there are people like me who like to have a good laugh at their expense (Kim Kardashian's single "Jam [Turn It Up]"), but don't really hate them.
Yea well, this woman Hates Kim.
Meet Deena Jacobs. She was featured on the CW show H8R (which didn't last too long - womp womp). She's Kim's No. 1 hater, and the woman doesn't hold back, explaining in a very Nsfw video exactly why she hates the reality star.
Now to be fair, Kim Was voted The Most Annoying Celebrity of 2011, but I personally don't think she's worthy of being hated! Apparently Deena thinks otherwise.
Check out the video below to see why Deena dislikes Kim so much.

It's a good week for fans of cancelled comedy shows. Earlier this week, Mitchell Hurwitz talked up [2] a (temporary) return to the small screen for Arrested Development, and now comes news that Reno 911! could be coming back from the dead as well. Netflix is reportedly negotiating with the show's producers about the possibility of creating more episodes of the show, which revolved around a police team in the titular city. Though Vulture [3] cautions that the show's return is still a "long shot" -- talks are still in the early stages,...

After cancelling “The Playboy Club” earlier this week, NBC has pulled the plug of “Free Agents,” the Wednesday night dark comedy starring Hank Azaria as a divorced PR executive who falls for a co-worker.
Last week, NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt “wasn’t rushing” to cancel his network’s underperforming shows, but after a single stay of execution the ratings didn’t improve. ”Free Agents” posted a 1.0 rating in its demo two weeks in a row, so it wasn’t quite the hit it was on the BBC two years ago.
According to a staffer, production was halted in the middle of the day, during the middle of an episode, and its actors were called and told not to come to work anymore. To apparently pour salt in the wound, NBC will replace “Free Agents” with rerun episodes of its comedy black hole “Whitney,” which could use the extra exposure (even...

Tyra Banks has got to be overjoyed. The CW has finally decided to cancel H8R, the lowest-rated show on The CW and the lead-in for America's Next Top Model.
Hosted by Mario Lopez, H8R tracks down regular people who have a deep dislike for a particular celebrity and then puts the two together. The famous person tries to win the person over, to prove they're actually just regular people. Celebrities have included Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi (Jersey Shores), Jake Pavelka (The Bachelor), Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives), Scott Disick (Keeping Up with the Kardashians), Kim Kardashian (Keeping Up with the Kardashians), Joe Francis (Girls Gone Wild), Maksim Chmerkovskiy (Dancing with the Stars) and The Miz (WWE wrestler).

"H8R" won't be defending any more demi-celebrities from Internet snark this season. Sorry, Levi Johnston and Janice Dickinson.
The CW on Thursday (Oct. 6) pulled its new unscripted series (or "hit reality show," if you were to believe the network's own promos) after four episodes. Ratings for "H8R" were dismal -- it was the least-watched show of the young season among any of the five English-language broadcast networks.
Apparently people weren't all that interested in watching a show in which celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Jake Pavelka and Snooki bravely stand up to heretofore anonymous everyday people who said mean things about them on the Internet. Now that the show is gone, they'll just have to settle for being on other TV shows and in the media all the time.
Through four episodes, "H8R" was averaging a paltry 1.2 million viewers per week and a 0.5 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic. It wasn't...

The CW has now joined NBC in cancelling a new fall show, as the network has officially pulled the plug on H8R, its much maligned Wednesday night reality series. Following four low rated episodes, including last night's series low, the show has been replaced in favor of Ringer repeats.
There are no current plans to air the remaining episodes of the show, though that may change should The CW decide to burn the episodes off in the summer. Its next episode was scheduled to include former Top Model judge Janice Dickinson and Bristol Palin's baby's father Levi Johnston.
H8R featured celebrities confronting their "h8rs" (haters) and ultimately trying to convince said hater that they aren't such a bad person after all. The show, hosted by Mario Lopez, had been focusing on reality alumni, with Snooki, Jake Pavelka, and Kim Kardashian among the first participants.

The CW is pulling new reality show H8R off the schedule effective immediately. Starting next week, the network will air repeats of new drama Ringer in H8R‘s Wednesday 8 Pm slot. The demise of H8R extends the CW’s dry spell on the unscripted side where the network has not been able to launch a successful series. (America’s Next Top Model started off on Upn.) The CW will use the slot to get additional sampling for Ringer, which the network’s brass like creatively and are getting behind despite recent ratings decline. This has become a trend this fall as NBC too replaced its recently canceled shows with reruns of freshman series in need of extra sampling: Prime Suspect (in for Playboy Club) and Whitney (in for Free Agents). After perking up last week with the episode featuring Kim Kardashian, which hit a series high in total viewers and posted 50% gains in the demos,...

Kim Kardashian went cheek to cheek with a Kard"ass"ian H8R on last night.s episode of Mario Lopez.s new reality series on the CW. Meet African-American Deena who attacked Kim.s curves on H8R saying, .I thought we had a corner on that. That.s us. That.s who we are.. Kim's penchant for dark meat was grinding Deena's gears too. Kardashian has had profile relationships with prominent Africa-American men, marrying a half white, half black athlete, Kris Humphries. .But I.m Armenian, so that.s a part of my culture,. Kim explained. .You look at my aunts, my cousins and my sisters and everyone, we have that curvy body too. It.s not just an African-American thing.. .I don.t see it on them,. Deena said.

Deena decided to make her rant against Kim Kardashian on behalf of the African-American community, whether they wanted her to or not, on 'H8R' (Wed., 8:30Pm Et on ABC). At least, that what it looked like when she was complaining that Kim had curves, saying, "I thought we had a corner on that. That's us. That's who we are."
She also took issue with the Kardashian family not doing enough for the African-American community. So Kim had to defend a perhaps legitimate argument here, and then one that sounded more like petty jealousy.
She explained that curves on women is also an Armenian thing, but that didn't seem to win Deena over. But when she talked about going to New Orleans to help after Katrina, and taking multiple trips to Africa to help impoverished people there, Deena started to lighten up.

It is not the first time the public has expressed their distaste for Kim, according to a poll of 2,000 Americans taken last month, the reality star was voted 7th least popular celebrity.

Perhaps it's the pounds and pounds of makeup that she wears. Maybe it's the fact that she talks like a baby in a soft, yet high voice all the damn time. Or maybe it's because she essentially gained notoriety because of a sex tape.
Whatever the case may be, Kim Kardashian was just voted the Most Annoying Celebrity of 2011, and that just cracks me the f*ck up because it's so appropriate.

I was just watching a clip of tonight’s episode of The CW’s H8r — in which Kim Kardashian confronts a rather salty woman who openly hates her (pictured) — and kept imagining what would happen if someone suddenly reached over and attempted to flick Kim’s doll eyes shut. I’ve been fantasizing about this for months. Would she continue to smile placidly and caress her synthetic doll hair? Would the doll lashes snap off? Would she cross over to an even darker element and become the Kim Kardashian Old Navy Robot? Would she die? Because dolls are supposed to die when you do that.

The second "H8R" episode saw actress Eva Longoria and reality TV star Scott Disick confront their detractors.
Along with host Mario Lopez, Longoria watched in the wings as a guy dissed her for not being a "true Latina" -- emerging later to call him out. "I wanted to confront you because I feel like you were hating on me without knowing me," said Longoria to her surprised critic. Check out the clip!

The CW show "H8R" premiered Wednesday with host Mario Lopez arranging face-to-face interaction between "Bachelor" Jake Pavelka, "Jersey Shore" star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and those individuals who have proclaimed their hatred for them.
In the Pavelka segment, the reality star tried his best to win over his hater, 20-year-old Danielle, who said he was a "douche," but to no avail. Snooki, on the other hand, was able to sway her hater, Nick, 31, to her side.

In an effort to keep chatter about H8R to a minimum with hopes that it will simply go away, I'll keep this short. The new CW show's premise is this: Viewers sit in front of their television and contemplate suicide for an hour. Oh sure, host and desperate leech Mario Lopez will tell you the show is about giving Z-list celebrities a chance to win over normal people who've slammed them for being, well, themselves, but make no mistake: H8R was designed by The CW as a way to population control. Or possibly because someone at The CW is trying to get fired.

Why, good morning! NBC’s new comedy Up All Night delivered a surprisingly strong premiere/preview rating Wednesday night.
The new comedy starring Christina Applegate and Will Arnett was given a big lead-in by the two-hour finale of America’s Got Talent (14 million viewers, 3.5 adults 18-49 rating). While Up All Night (10.9 million, 3.7) at 10 p.m. dipped slightly from the final half hour of Got Talent, it still ranked as the night’s highest-rated show overall with an enviable number. Not as many viewers stuck around, however, for NBC’s second new comedy, Hank Azaria’s Free Agents (6.3 million, 2.1).

NBC’s Up All Night gave birth to some very solid numbers with its Wednesday “sneak preview,” in part thanks to having the America’s Got Talent finale (14 mil/3.5) as a lead-in.
Starring Christina Applegate, Will Arnett and Maya Rudolph, the new comedy drew 10.9 million total viewers and a 3.7 demo rating. For comparison sake, NBC’s Outlaw netted 11.5 million viewers and a 2.5 rating during the first half-hour of its own Wednesdays-at-10 “sneak peek” a year ago.

The CW premiered a brand new show tonight called H8R, where celebrities confront the people who publicly proclaim their dislike for them. In the series premiere, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi ambushed one of her biggest haters, Nick, and cooked for his entire family to help win them over.
The meal was Snooki's traditional Sunday dinner: chicken cutlets and pasta. After dinner (and a few glasses of wine), Snooki was able to win over Nick's family.

With the notable exception of "America's Next Top Model," The CW hasn't had much success with reality shows -- and yet, they keep on keepin' on. "H8R," which premiered Wednesday night, employs the most basic concept of reality TV: Put two people in a room who don't agree, and watch what happens.
In this case, host Mario Lopez pairs celebrities with their haters. Wednesday's premiere featured "Jersey Shore" star Snooki and "The Bachelor's" Jake Pavelka along with people who just can't stand them.
The producers did a good job of choosing entertaining personalities in the haters, (no, we're not going to spell it h8rs) but we couldn't help but find the celeb-factor lacking. If the only people involved in the show are reality stars who we see defend themselves on a weekly basis anyway, we're going to get burned out fast.

Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi and former 'Bachelor' Jake Pavelka were the first subjects of new reality series 'H8R' (Wed., 8Pm Et on The CW). The new series puts together C-list celebrities with regular people who hate them to see what happens when the celebrity stops being the sum of their tabloids and television appearances.
In premise, the show isn't a bad idea, but in execution it was lacking. Plus, am I the only one who doesn't understand why this is a fall-launching show on a major network (minor-major network, but still!)? 'H8R' feels like the kind of filler that does quite well in the summertime, and even better on cable. Even the textable title screams MTV.

"Jersey Shore" star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi visited her friend, "Extra" co-host Mario Lopez, at The Grove, where she talked about facing her own hater on the premiere of The CW show reality show "H8R," in which celebrities confront real people who dislike them.
Snooki said, "It was awesome, obviously, all of us have haters, especially the Jersey Shore, so the fact that I got to confront somebody and be like, 'Look I'm a good person.

Kate tweets that she’s excited to ‘challenge [herself] w future endeavors’ — but Mike doesn’t think that she has what it takes to be an eligible young ‘Bachelorette’!
With Kate Gosselin‘s hit TLC reality show – Kate Plus 8 – canceled, Kate’s on the search for her next big career move. But one opportunity she can rule out is starring as ABC’s next The Bachelorette. The show’s creator Mike Fleiss doesn’t think that Kate would be a good choice for the role!
Mike would instead give her a shot on Bachelor Pad or his new show H8R. “Kate Gosselin? Sounds like a perfect fit for Bachelor Pad,” he tells Entertainment Weekly. “Or, H8R …”
So much for Kate’s enthusiasm. “6/many I poured my entire self in2 the last6years of ‘Kate Plus 8‘ & I can’t wait2have the chance2challenge myself again w future endeavors!” she eagerly tweeted Aug.

After TLC announced yesterday that it had canceled 'Kate Plus 8' after seven seasons, the intrepid folks at Entertainment Weekly decided to contact reality TV king Mike Fleiss, creator of 'The Bachelor,' for his insight into what star Kate Gosselin should do next.
"Kate Gosselin? Sounds like a perfect fit for 'Bachelor Pad," he told EW. "Or, 'H8R'..."
Actually, 'H8R,' The CW's newest reality series featuring celebs confronting people who claim to dislike them, sounds like a great fit. But in the meantime, we have a few more suggestions for Kate so she doesn't go the way of ex-husband Jon -- date a teenager, team up with a trashy clothing designer and constantly look like she bathed in day-old Red Bull mixed with Axe body spray.
Below, we outline three career options we think the Gosselin matriarch should consider.

As soon as news of TLC cancelling Kate Gosselin’s reality show hit, the half-joking tweets and comments began: Gosselin should do The Bachelorette next.
Gosselin herself seemed to hint that dating is the next step for the reality star, tweeting: “I can’t wait2have the chance2challenge myself again w future endeavors!… And maybe even some dating??!!”
So we asked Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss if he would ever consider Gosselin for his show. Here’s what he said:
“Kate Gosselin? Sounds like a perfect fit for Bachelor Pad,” he wrote. “Or, H8R…”
So there you go. Bachelor franchise spin-off Bachelor Pad,...

We're going on record to say that although haven't seen much of it, we're not fans of "H8R," the celebrities-have-feelings-too reality show airing in the fall.
Why? Mostly because the idea that celebs like Kim Kardashian, Barry Bonds and Snooki need to confront regular folks who have said mean things about them on the Internet to change their minds feels like a bald-faced and incredibly cynical attempt at image rehab for the celebs. And because it presupposes that because the "H8Rs" aren't famous, their opinions aren't really valid. And because the show's producers (including "The Bachelor's" Mike Fleiss) and host Mario Lopez tried to position their show as some sort of stand against bullying at a press tour session Thursday (Aug. 4).
But you know what we do kind of like? The title. In fact, it got us thinking of a bunch of other shows that could use abbreviations...

Ray Richmond is contributing to Deadline's coverage of TCA. The critics took out their verbal blades at an afternoon TCA panel hyping the new CW reality show H8R that goes to great lengths to bring "celebrities" together with those who trash talk about them on the Internet. The early episodes will feature the likes of Snooki from Jersey Shore. The biggest names participating in the series so far are Eva Longoria and Leah Remini. Critics peppered exec producers Mike Fleiss and Lisa Gregorisch-Dempsey and exec producer/host Mario Lopez with questions about who would watch the famous go to great lengths to convert their biggest non-fans into supporters. One questioner wondered whether viewers would eventually see an episode where President Obama comes face to face with a Tea Party member. But perhaps the most interesting aspect of the panel was the fact that Fleiss, producer of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette,...
