World’s Worst TV Idea: Robin – The Earlier, Non-Batman Years Smallville undoubtedly rules the roost when it comes to confusing, myth-raping young superhero TV shows that you barely even remember exist - but not for long. No, because the producers of Smallville have struck upon another idea for a confusing, myth-raping TV show about a young superhero. Robin. Yes, Robin from Batman and Robin. But set before he met Batman. So basically a TV show about an annoyingly earnest little boy without any superpowers, then. Still, that's not going to stop the show from being made. It's even got a name already - The Graysons. So, to correct our earlier mistake, this Robin programme will be a TV show about an annoyingly earnest little boy without any superpowers that sounds like it's a bad 1970s sitcom. Can't wait.

Beverly Hills 90210 Gets A Miserable Spin-Off

History has proved that Beverly Hills 90210 is the probably the worst TV show of all time. That's scientific fact.

However, Beverly Hills 90210 shouldn't get used to holding that title, because a show that looks set to be even lamer has been announced - a modern-day Beverly Hills 90210 spin-off. 

That's right - the CW network is resurrecting Beverly Hills 90210, Frankenstein-style. However, the Beverly Hills 90210 spin-off doesn't have a cast or a writer yet - it only exists as an idea in the mind of a particularly evil television executive who we're hoping is quite tall. That way he'll be more likely to knock his head on a low ceiling beam and give himself some sweet sweet amnesia.
