Golden Huckleberry Award Nominees: 2016-2017

Well, it’s time for me to work on the nominees for the worst of television from this previous season. I’ll have to do some research into this. Before I get much further, I’ll mention two notes. I then will get to the nominees and the winners (or losers, technically) will come later. Sorry if there is any of the usual confusion based on when the awards are set. June of 2016 to May of 2017 can be considered the timeframe of when these awards take place.

I’ve decided that the award called worst cliffhanger resolution will be retired and replaced with an award called worse season premiere. This will always be kept separate from worst pilot as no new show can be nominated for worst season premiere.

When an actor from Glee died, I decided not to nominate Glee that year for any awards in this show, nullifying whatever nominations I had accidently given it already before the winners were finalized. Since an actor from Training Day has died, you will not be seeing it in this year’s nominees, despite my distaste for the show. In case you hated the show too, this is why it is not on the list of awards.
