Why would "non-modern audiences" be more generous with Shades of Grey? I'm 40 (is that non-modern?), and I do consider it pointless and pretty stupid.

That said, the worst is The Game.

In the pre-youtube/streaming/filesharing era, people were a lot more forgiving of clip shows. Not that they were ever good, but now they get rated as the absolute worst, rather than being average-bad, which is contextually more realistic.

Now you can watch "Ten times Deanna uses her telepathy to deduce the obvious" on youtube, so a clip show is far more redundant than just being a spruced up rerun.

I hated them back in the day, too. You only get one episode per week, you look forward to it all week, and it's a clip show? That was very disappointing, back then.
