Keep in mind that a show being cheesy isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes this can be funny or part of its charm.

Full House is the cheesiest show that I've seen imo. I like this show a lot actually, but it's pretty cheesy a lot of the time. But I think that's part of its charm and style. Some of the jokes are corny, and the emotional moments can be kind of cheesy at times too
 
Yeah, hard to beat full house in this regard. At least when it comes to shows supposedly primarily aimed at adults. In retrospective it's kind of difficult to comprehend what we saw in the show back in the day. I used to watch it as a teenager in the 00's when it aired in reruns. I cannot for the life of me remember what exactly I liked about the show back then. Nowadays however I watch en episode every now and then for nostalgic appeal and also from a "so bad it's good" point of view.
 
The first thing that came to mind when I saw the thread title was Full House. I think if I comb my memory enough, there is possibly a show earlier on that could beat it in cheesiness (perhaps The Brady Bunch) but Full House mania was something I experienced more directly and TBB in reruns so…FH just always leaps to mind when I think of wholesome yet cringe laugh track cheese. Funny thing is that my Facebook Reels feed constantly wants to show me random FH scenes and when I watch them, they honestly do still make me laugh. They handle their cheese well.

Good points! I had Brady Bunch in mind too. I also like that show a lot, but it can be pretty cheesy as well. But not quite as much as Full House imo.

Good points! I sometimes find it hard to understand what people saw in Full House back then too. There's just something about the show I can't explain. It's still entertaining and charming even with its "cheesyness."
 
I guess by extension, the spin-off Fuller House is also one of the most cheesy shows I've seen. It's not quite as cheesy as the original Full House though imo. But I still like Full House better overall.
 
Another show I thought of being cheesy is the Thundermans. I know a lot of the Nickcoms/Disneycoms are cheesy, but I thought the Thundermans was especially cheesy. The special effects and even practical effects were oftentimes laughably bad. And some of the jokes were really corny.
 
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is the definition of cheese. But man if it didn't blow kid me's mind at the time...
Oh yeah definitely! I never watched much though. But it does seem really cheesy. I wonder if it's more cheesy than Full House
 
90s was littered with cheese, but the biggest peice of chedder for me at the time was Captain Planet
 
I remembered, the disney sitcom Dog With a Blog. That show was extremely cheesy!

It was just a year after my time so I never watched it, but given the premise I'm sure it was horrible. It is fun enough to cringe-watch, or not even worth that?

I've been watching mostly movies lately, so I don't have any cheesy TV shows on the mind.

Wait, I thought of one. Rocket Robin Hood (1967) is incredibly bad, to the point of recycling animation frames from its own theme song, and yet it was voice-acted with hilarious gravitas. It's also funny how stupid the premise is (Robin Hood but with lasers).

Another cheesy show is this ripoff of The Flintstones called The Roman Holidays. It watches like a typical 1950s sitcom with the occasional "haha, they're Romans, lol chariots" joke, but not as often as you'd want. They literally have people dressed up as hippies saying "groovy" and stuff.
It's reaaaaaaally been done before and is darn near unwatchable.

Also, original 1969 Scooby Doo (which in itself is a blatant ripoff of the slightly cheesy 1960 sitcom Many Loves of Dobie Gillis) is pretty cringeworthy if you just sit down to watch a straight episode. I think most of folks' enjoyment comes from nostalgia, because the actual original show is really hard to watch in my experience.

I haven't watched much Dog with a Blog in years. But from what I remember it could be fun to cringe watch at times. But other times it was kinda boring.

Wow those do seem cheesy! I'll have to look into them. (Robin Hood with lasers haha! Sounds awesome XD) Yeah Scooby Doo can be cheesy too for sure. Didn't know Scooby Doo was inspired.

In that same vein, there's a Jetsons ripoff that happens to star the Partridge family, called Partridge Family 2200 AD.

It's funny how both this and The Roman Holidays are cases of Hanna-Barbera copying themselves (and of course, we'd be here all day if we listed the numerous Scooby-Doo clones they churned out in that era).
