13 TV Turkeys to Avoid This Thanksgiving

More TV shows are on the air than ever. This is a fact.

As a result, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find the programs that are actually worth your time. 

In honor of Thanksgiving, The Hollywood Gossip is here to tell you which shows you should NOT be watching. 

That’s right, these are the biggest TV turkeys of 2019. They all suck so very, very hard.

1. Almost Family – FOX

Almost family fox
More like Almost Canceled! This freshman drama focuses on a fertility doctor who uses his own sperm to conceive at least 100 children throughout his career. As a result, the daughter he actually raised is shocked to find siblings knocking on her door. It’s an absurd concept.

2. Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club – MTV

Lindsay went through the motions of trying to remain relevant by implying she knew what she was doing by running a lucrative beach club. The series was tacky, and viewers did not connect with any of the cast members. It makes sense then that it was given the pink slip for being too boring.

3. Game of Thrones – HBO

Game of Thrones was a casualty of its own success. After going on an extended hiatus between the penultimate and the final season, fans expected a thrilling conclusion. What they got was a shoddy six-episode wrap-up that wasn’t true to the characters or the stories that came before.

4. Carol’s Second Act – CBS

Patricia Heaton is a great comedy actress, but the script for Carol’s Second Act is embarrassing. There are a grand total of zero laughs, and the series has been picked up for a full season. Sheesh.

5. Veronica Mars – Hulu

Veronica Mars made a splashy return after years off the air, but the mystery was terrible. Even worse, the series obliterated what made fans tune in for in the first place. It makes sense then that Hulu has no plans to renew it.

6. 13 Reasons Why – Netflix

13 reasons why season 3 still
This Netflix original has never been the gold standard when it comes to storytelling, but the recently released third season was horrific. The entire season can be summed up in a few sentences. Don’t waste almost 13 hours on this turkey!

This series took the world by storm when it launched in 2018. It freaked audiences out so much that many couldn’t get through the entire first season. Will you be brave enough to beat this one?

2. American Horror Story – FX

Twisty the clown
American Horror Story is well into its ninth season, and for a good reason: It’s filled with jump scares.

Thankfully, there are nine distinctly different seasons to choose from, depending on what you’re in the mood for.

Stranger Things is not described as horror by Netflix, but there are plenty of scary moments for it to be on your Halloween binge list. We promise!

4. Bates Motel – A&E

The origins of Norman Bates are not for the faint of heart. This five-season series chronicles a young boy’s murderous tendencies coming out to play. It has a moody atmosphere that never really lets up.

5. Supernatural – The CW

Supernatural knows how to dial up the scares. That’s part of the reason why it has been on the air for 15 years.

6. Hannibal – NBC

This NBC drama focused on Hannibal Lecter, and there were other serial killers along for the ride. It did get canceled, but the three-season series is widely considered one of the best TV shows out there.
