Shafted is a British game show produced by Initial (a subsidiary of Endemol) that aired from November 5-26th, 2001, and was canceled following four episodes due to poor ratings and reception.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Three words - Robert Kilroy-Silk. Not only he was a very poor and unfitting choice for a game show (considering he was already controversial enough as a politician and as a chat show host) but he is also completely irritating, with acting skills that felt very shallow and fake and an annoying voice.
 * 2) * His extremely poor acting, eg, the hand gesture he made when a contestant shafted their opponent went to the point that Have I Got News for You made fun of him and the show itself many times.
 * 3) * His catchphrases are extremely cheesy, with such lines like: "Make your bets!", "You're off the show!", and "To share, or to shaft?"
 * 4) It was an obvious attempt by Endemol to cash in on the popularity of BBC's The Weakest Link, which clearly shows:
 * 5) * The mean-spirited nature of trying to get money is similar to voting people off on the latter.
 * 6) * The soundtrack sounds very similar, although it's an instance that Paul Farrer, who composed the latter's soundtrack, did the soundtrack for this show as well.
 * 7) * The set is very industrial-looking, with metal bars and a blue light tint.
 * 8) The soundtrack itself isn't that memorable and is at times very forgettable.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Robert Kilroy-Silk's extremely poor presenting skills are so bad, they're good.

Reception
Shafted is usually classified as one of the worst British shows of all time.

Richard Rabbit Comes to Play is the 8th episode of the 3rd season of Peppa Pig.

Plot
Peppa isn't too pleased when Richard Rabbit comes round his house. When Peppa does invite Suzy, the boys and the girls don't want to play each other's games.

Why it Sucks

 * Peppa and Suzy are at their absolute worst in this episode, as they only want to play what they want to play and actually cause Richard and George to cry.
 * The episode stereotypes the fact that both genders can't do the same things, making the episode sexist.

Redeeming Qualities

 * The ending was fine, as the kids finally know of a game they all enjoy - Muddy Puddles.
