>How about the worst

good plan.
but plain badness isn't enough. i vaguely recall a definition of

that true kitsch is the result of falling tragically, abysmally short 
of a grandiose vision. schadenfreude is an essential part.

on those grounds, Star Wars.

Gah, and Emma Frost was *so* wrong.

My vote goes for 'Lost in Space'. Awful.
