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?

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...

Lorenzo Lamas' son was arrested in an eerily similar situation as Kim Richards ... but in this case, he allegedly stole from Target and fought his way out with a baby in his arms. A.J. Lamas -- who appeared on the reality show, "Leave It To Lamas" -- was popped at a Van Nuys Target for robbery. Cops say he stole a wrench, clothes and tennis shoes. As for why he was busted for robbery...

Lorenzo Lamas and his family star in "Leave It to Lamas," Sundays on E! We spoke with Michele Smith, Lorenzo's ex-wife and mom of three, about being on the show.
Momlogic: How has your life changed since being on the show?
Michele: My life hasn't changed at all -- it has probably changed more for the kids. Being on the show wasn't really a hard decision -- I don't mind putting myself out there. It's honest, and it's real. A lot of people think it's scripted, but it's not.
Ml: You're described in the cast bios as being meddlesome and intense at times. Do you agree with that assessment?
Michele: Communication has always been my big thing -- whether it be as a wife, a girlfriend, a mother, or a friend. Communication is huge. As the children grow up, you feel they just don't want to communicate with you as much.

Lorenzo Lamas is known best for his roles on Renegade and the Bold and the Beautiful. But he's back on television, this time starring in his very own reality show called Leave It To Lamas. Hollyscoop caught up with Lorenzo at the Really Awards to get the scoop on the show, which premiered with huge ratings on E! on Sunday night with 2 million viewers. Lorenzo told us reality is a lot easier on his schedule than scripted TV. "It’s so easy," he says, "I can sleep in the morning then go to the set. It feels as...

I caught an episode of E!'s new reality show, Leave It To Lamas, the other night. All I could think was, 'Does anyone really care about these people?' Maybe that's the point. We don't care, and thus don't mind watching them all implode.
I'm betting that a lot of people have never even heard of the Lamas family. I remember Lorenzo from Falcon Crest; now he looks like a washed-up porn star. His daughter, Shayne, was recently proposed to by Matt Grant on The Bachelor: London Calling (the engagement is off -- I'm guessing it was all done for publicity for this show).

E! is looking to mine some Lamas drama with its new reality show Leave It To Lamas. The show follows the high-strung lifestyle of Shayne Lamas, who won The Bachelor: London Calling in 2008, and with it, Brit-hunk Matt Grant's hand in marriage. That made-for-tv romance lasted about two months before the couple split. As she notes in the Oct. 11 (11p.m. Et) premiere: “That one didn’t last.” Shayne shockingly doesn’t seem interested in a rebound boy toy — and on a more (potentially) wholesome note, the debut episode revolves around her efforts to reconnect her brother Aj with their father,...
