Featured review
One of the worst shows ever.
One of the worst shows ever. I hope no other show like this one ever makes its way onto TV again.
He was abusive, and a phoney. If my memory serves me, he would sometimes pretend to befriend a guest before he turned on him. It amazed me anyone would think this guy would side with anyone on anything.
The entire premise for the show was Downey being socially and verbally abusive while he chain smoked. This show really sucked.
Only Springer's is worse. And it may be better. But I'll give the nod to Springer as the worst show ever because it has lasted longer.
