Fall TV: 'Raising Hope'

Say hello to the worst new show on television.

"Raising Hope" is the new brainchild of "My Name Is Earl" creator Greg Garcia.

You'd think he would move away from poor white people acting stupid, but apparently not.

The plot follows a 20-year-old loser who works with his dad and hates his job. He quits to dream of a better life. He meets a girl, sleeps with her and then finds out she's actually a serial killer.

Seriously.

Cut to eight months later she is about to be executed and we find out she's pregnant!

She gives birth, they kill her anyways and loser Jimmy ends up with a brand new baby named Princess Beyonce.

His 35-year-old mother and father don't want to deal with a baby, but Jimmy decides to keep her anyway (in hopes of improving his life.)

The comedy, well what they try to do as comedy, comes from the poor dysfunctional family and all of their crazy issues.

Bottom line it's just bad.

You know it's bad when they go to execute the serial killer, Jimmy is there with the baby watching and he covers the baby's eyes! Haha.

Another part found Jimmy changing the baby's diapers, but throwing up on her. His mom walks in and throws up on the baby too.

And it stars Martha Plimpton and Garret Dillahunt! They can do so much better than this.

Needless to say it's not very funny at all.

Painful is more like it.
