Top Ten Worst Reality Families Ever

Tonight at 8 p.m., Fox airs its documentary on Nadya Suleman, the "Octomom."  We're wondering how Octomom's family stacks up to reality families from the past (and present).  Here, we list the top ten worst reality TV show families.  And believe us, we've got some doozies.

10.  The Hogans from Hogan Knows Best/Brooke Knows Best:  We now know Hulk Hogan doesn't know best: the family disintegrated when his son Nick served time for reckless driving and Hogan divorced his wife.  And, of course, the entire show was poorly acted (what, you thought it was real?) and dull... and that's the real tragedy.

9.  The Osbournes:  The rocker family swears and shops through what we later found out was Ozzy Osbourne's prescription pill abuse.  We feel a lot less apt to laugh at Ozzy's mumbling and falling down when we know he wasn't being quirky; he was high.

8.  The families of The Real Housewives of Orange County:  Vapid and consumeristic, these plastic-surgery-addicted women treat their husbands like children, their children like accessories, and their accessories like precious babies.  Blech, off our TVs!

7.  The Gottis from Growing Up Gotti:  The message of this show seems to be that crime does pay... apparently in hair gel and giant gold chains.  This boring show follows the family of notorious mobster John Gotti and all of their obnoxious exploits.  The family is not interesting, not talented... wait, why did we watch this again?

6.  The Gosselins from Jon & Kate Plus Eight:  America watched as this couple went from relatively normal to fame-hungry D-list celebs who ended up hating one another (and filing for divorce).  Now, Kate is playing martyr (and refusing her child water), and John is jumping from younger woman to younger woman in eye-searing Ed Hardy gear.  Wretched.

5.  The Lohans from Living Lohan:  With one daughter already self-destructing, Dina Lohan decides to push her other daughter into show business at the expense of her family's happiness.  Dina, who revels in the limelight, gives shameless stage mothers a bad name.

4.  The families of Wife Swap and Trading Spouses:  Some of the most embarrassing and horrible people have appeared on these shows, including a man named the worst husband of all time.  And who can forget the infamous "God Warrior" who had a nervous breakdown because a non-Christian stayed in her home?  Tolerance is a beautiful thing.

3.  The families of Nanny 911:  Nanny 911 features screaming, swearing, and spitting children with parents who are clueless on how to actually parent.  The nannies are there to purportedly help the families, but they're really just stand-ins for the viewer, shaking their heads and feeling smug that their children don't act like maniacs.  Truly awful, voyeuristic television.  Just watch the Longaret family below for a taste of misery.

2.  The Bonaduces from Breaking Bonaduce:  Here's one guy who should never have reproduced... especially with a woman who married him after one date.  The former child actor is an immature, angry, and self-absorbed d-bag who continuously leads his family into emotional chaos.  This cringe-fest was watch-through-your-fingers dismal.

1. Every family who ever appeared on My Super Sweet 16:  Sixteen-year-old kids plan opulent birthday parties with "VIP rooms," brand-new cars, lots of temper tantrums, and ridiculously permissive parents.  Wow, bratty, whiny, ungrateful kids who still get everything they want?  What role models for our children!  Thank you, MTV.
