TL;DR Summary

This article highlights 50 of the worst TV network decisions in history, including Jeopardy's choice to let Mike Richards anoint himself as host before stepping down due to offensive comments, America's Next Top Model asking contestants to swap ethnicities, ABC giving the Geico Cavemen their own sitcom, Disney Plus refusing to let Lizzie McGuire grow up, and Saturday Night Live firing Adam Sandler and Chris Farley. Other notable decisions include HBO's failed attempt to create a "Sex and the City" for men, the disastrous show "Cop Rock," the damaging effects of reality show "The Swan," Fox News' unsuccessful attempt at a conservative alternative to The Daily Show, and Geraldo Rivera's infamous live TV special about Al Capone's vault.
