Zig Samitur, Californication

Californication has been a mainstay on our unsexy lists, but the show sinks to a new low in Season 4 with Fisher Stevens' death by autoerotic asphyxiation. As film producer Zig Samitur, Stevens becomes, um, excited for the first time in months, thanks to the show his hired girls put on for his guests and excuses himself. Although Charlie fears telling Zig he killed his monkey, he's somewhat relieved to find him dead hanging from the bathroom door. As if the graphic reveal isn't enough, the show has no respect for the dead. "This is a prime example of why one must always use the buddy system," Charlie cracks.
