I'm trying out a new outlook on life! Instead of thinking everything is going to be eventually "okay," I'm just going to automatically assume it's all going to be terrible. But that's not negative thinking! Because if you think about it, practically everything is already at least somewhat terrible, right? Take Hot Pockets. They are delicious, and yet? You know there are human remains in there. Not a lot! Just enough to make the experience somewhat terrible. Then there's Scarlett Johansson. Yes, she's gorgeous—but deep down? We all know she's kind of terrible. Scarlett Johansson's soul is a rotting dung heap brimming with fetid perversity, and it wouldn't surprise me a bit if she strangled one bunny every day before breakfast. (On the upside? She probably does so dressed in a bikini.)

So, in short? While much of the world has an attractive outward appearance, let's remember that its core is not filled with caramel or nougat, but terribleness, despair, and the tears of aborted children. (Again, Hot Pockets come to mind.)

Now that we're all in agreement, here are three shows debuting this week that are terrible in their own exquisite ways.

• Bad Teacher (CBS, Thurs April 24, 9:30 pm). Any sitcom that's a reboot of an absolutely terrible comedy starring the terrible Cameron Diaz just has got to be... oh, what's the word I'm looking for... TERRIBLE. However! There's also some non-terrible aspects to this remake: such as non-terrible performances by Ari Graynor, David Alan Grier, and Ryan Hansen (Dick Casablancas from Veronica Mars SQUEEEEEEE!!). And it was adapted by the also non-terrible Hilary Winston (who wrote for Community and the very funny My Name is Earl). Soooo... ummm... it might be worth checking out? (It can't be more terrible than the movie! IT JUST CAN'T.)

• Black Box (ABC, Thurs April 24, 10 pm). Brilliant and respected neurologist Catherine Black (Kelly Reilly) is world renowned for being a brain brainiac—but here's some irony: She's bipolar and hates taking her meds. (Hmm... that is a wrinkle.) Anyway, every week she'll not only solve a bewildering neurological brain case for her patients, but she'll also stop taking her meds and go HOG WILD. [Author's note: "Hog wild" can include public drunkenness, wild sex, collapsing in a fit of tears, and slapping hospital administrators across the face.] Probability of terribleness: 50/50... or bi-terrible.

• Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO, Sun April 27, 11 pm). As you undoubtedly recall, The Daily Show's Jon Stewart took last summer off to direct a movie, and left John Oliver in charge. To everyone's surprise? He didn't eff it up! In fact, everyone loved this charming Brit, which did not escape the notice of HBO, who promptly moved to steal Oliver away from The Daily Show, and establish him as host of his own Daily Show-like show, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. And... waitasecond. I can't really find anything terrible about this. In fact, there's NOTHING terrible about this, which blows my new outlook on life completely out of the water!!

GODDAMMIT, John Oliver! Why can't you strangle bunnies like Scarlett Johansson??
