I tried to watch Last of The Summer Wine but just didn't find it funny at all - but I had an aunt and uncle who used to fall on the floor with laughter at every episode so I know some liked it.
What's wrong with Would I Lie to You, jobjockey?
In the 70's and 80s BBC and ITV were a major part of our home entertainment- the who family would sit and watch. But now there are so many channels and so many other things to do in life that I just watch what I like and don't waste more than a few seconds on things I don't like so couldn't come up with a list of bad TV

You've Been Framed.
It's always on because it's cheap to make, but it panders to the worst of human nature.
The worst examples are of children being frightened or hurt - there is always the few seconds while the shock hits, and the child gets a breath to cry, and that's where they cut it, and the audience laugh track comes in - it's barbaric, laughing at frightened or in plain children.
Everything else is utter stupidity, and it doesn't speak well for any of us to be amused by strangers hurting themselves because they are not bright enough to have a sense of awareness and self-preservation.
I'd ban it tomorrow.

are you talking about now or the 80s?
There were some shockers in the 80s but only by modern standards. I remember as a littler person watching and liking a program called "mind your language". They showed a clip from it on one of those "tv that used to be" shows the other day and by today's standards it was jaw dropping. But it was funny in the day it was ok to laugh at racial stereotypes. The same show showed a clip of butterflies where ria was musing about "wanting to be raped". Again jaw dropping for now, probably not so then
