TV shows you can't stand.

[Nyoibo]

Leave Glee Alone!

I can't stand the majority of reality TV, although Master Chef is a guilty pleasure.

[Jack T. Chance]

I have a very long list of shows I can't stand, but there's a special place of loathing in my heart for the vast majority of the so-called "reality" shows, including, but definitely not limited to, the following...

• American Idolatry
• Dancing With the (D-List) Stars
• America's (Un)Funniest (Totally Staged, Who Do You Think You're Fooling?) Home Videos
• The Jerry Springer Show
• Cheaters (Wanna develop a really cynical, pessimistic attitude really fast? Watch a marathon of Cheaters! )
• Jersey Shore, AKA Douchebags "R" Us!
• America's Got Talent (Shame its talent is making you want to hurl a brick through your TV screen! )

On the actual fictional side, some dishonorable mentions go to...

• Glee... If you're a male and you watch this show, you automatically get this:
  
  
• The British comedy "classic" Keeping Up Appearances... the character Hyacinth Bucket is one of the most annoying women ever imagined. She needs a punch in the nose!
• Soap Operas! Thankfully, they're slowly going extinct, one by one.

I'll add more as I think of them.

I collect unicorn figurines and enjoy talking about interior design. My 'man card' was revoked long long ago, so that is not a worry for me if I liked Glee. I don't, but am just meh about it, don't hate it.

Soap Operas! Thankfully, they're slowly going extinct, one by one.

Yes, Thank GAWD! The acting and plots no matter which soap opera it is are all utter crap. Those romance novels from the drug store or a yard sale is more entertaining than that!

I dislike what I refer to as "Talent Shows" Like America's Got Talent, The Celebrity Dance show, stuff like that.

Cooking shows, especially with Gordon Ramsey. The jerkoff even has a show where he goes into restaurants and tells the owners what they are doinfg wrong, (what irks me was "too many doggy bags", the advice was to serve less and charge more. Jerkoff.)

There are certain actors I dislike and avoid. I have never seen a second of "Two and a Half Men", because I can't stand Charlie Sheen. I got so sick of looking at this MF'er on the news when he left that show.

Usually, I can watch something for 5 minutes and decide to like it or not. Uusally I can read what a show is about and I will be interested in it or not.

My parents and especially my father HATED The Carol Burnett Show. This was back in the caveman days before cable when there were only three or four channels to watch. He also hated any kind of sports and would get pissed off and moan and groan like a child whenever football preempted 60 Minutes on Sunday afternoon.

Somebody mentioned Three's Company. I never liked that show either. I watched a couple of episodes recently and besides looking at Joyce Dewitt's cute ass, and The Ropers, that show sucked ass. Larry Dallas? You can't get more 70's than that name.

I really can't stand The Office. I know, I know, it's supposed to be ridiculous and over the top. I guess it's just not my kind of humor. I haven't seen any of it in several years, but I remember it just being too crude and disgusting for my taste.

I also don't really like Law & Order: CSI, despite the fact that I LOVE SVU and liked the original L&O pretty well. Again, I've only see a few episodes of CSI...maybe I'd like it better if I started from the beginning and got to know the characters better.

Does anyone watch Food Network? There's a show called Cupcake Wars that had a lot of potential, but I think flopped monumentally (although I think new episodes are still being produced.) It's supposed to be sort of like Chopped (which I like) but only with cupcakes. Basically 4 contestants are given certain ingredients/themes/other criteria to work with and need to produce a cupcake or number of cupcakes for a big event. I liked the premise of it a lot because I love to bake and thought it'd be interesting to see what some of the contestants did with the ingredients given...but most of the contestants end up being these prissy, whiny drama queens. The judges are annoying (especially whoever is guest judging, since they typically have NO baking knowledge whatsoever and will just say "I thought this was great!" even if there was some very obvious flaw.) And don't even get me started about the host. I've wanted to reach through my TV and strangle him on a number of occasions. -_- I still watch the show occasionally at 3 am when I can't sleep and am bored.

Uh....they ask him to come to their restaurant to help them and "serve less, charge more" is perfectly legitimate advice when your portion control is out of whack. A restaurant is a business afterall, not a charity. I don't know if we're thinking the same episode, but the restaurant was literally giving away a second entree with every lunch entree and wondering why they were losing hella money. It was the equivilent of a store selling TV's for 50% with a second free TV if you bought one. Then wondering why you can't make any money.

Dude knows how to A) Cook and B) Run a fucking restaurant. If he has business advice for your restaurant, you farkin' listen. >.>

The US versions of his shows are edited by Fox for maximum drama. Try watching one of the UK ones. Where they're allowed to show him as a human being and actually show the cooking/business side of running a restaurant.

There are certain actors I dislike and avoid. I have never seen a second of "Two and a Half Men", because I can't stand Charlie Sheen.

No argument here.

My parents and especially my father HATED The Carol Burnett Show.

How does one hate Carol Brunett? >.> That's like hating Mr Rogers.

I also don't really like Law & Order: CSI.

Do you mean Law & Order: Criminal Intent? Or CSI: Crime Scene Investigation? Two different franchises.

There's a show called Cupcake Wars that had a lot of potential, but I think flopped monumentally (although I think new episodes are still being produced.)

Heh, when I saw Duff Goldman (Ace of Cakes) speak, he spent a decent amount of time ripping on cupcakes and cupcake shows.

Reality shows with the exception of Holmes on Homes. I like that show cause he actually helps people.

Wanna be horror shows. Remakes of shows that originally aired over seas. The original was probably good, the remakes normally suck.

Spongbob.. I hate that show.

Most news show, especially the adds of them 'You could die within the next two hours, tonght at eleven' I mean cmon.. its NOON. How can I take you serisously, if Im still alive the report is bogus, if Im dead it too late for me to watch it.
99.9% of commercials.

I love Carol Burnett. Never liked Mister Rogers, even when I was a kid.

.

now that is a reality show I really like. here in the US all of the Holmes on Homes and Holmes Inspection have been shown on HGTV. I have learned a LOT from just those 2.

I dislike most anything (most but not all) on network (ABC NBC CBS FOX, etc) TV. it just seems to me they just repeat upon repeat upon repeat of shows (SitComs, Crime Drama Cowboy, Cop) that I watched 40 or 30 years ago. the only real difference today is the proliferation of scripted reality shows we have on repeat these days.

I will admit up front that I have never watched Survivor, Big Brother or any of the "Talent" type shows like AMerican Idol or Dancing with the Stars. Toddlers and Tiarras just creeps me out. Jon and Kate + 8 was stupid. Heck even American Pickers gets boring and stupid at times. the Pawn shop shows are bad copies of each other. even some of the more real reality shows like Storm Chasers and Border Wars get boring after a while because stuff just repeats itself over andover again

[Rageaholic]

I never got the Office either. It can be funny, but a lot of the humor is hit or miss. With that said, Steve Carell is hillarious. And I never tire of this clip

[blas87]

I could not get into Ice Road Truckers or Deadliest Catch the way a lot of my coworkers did.

Yep, he knows what he's doing...and he helps people out. No problem here. As for Carol Burnett...I had no problem with her, until she went after the creators of Family Guy...for making fun of a character she portrayed about 30 years prior. Seriously?

You would think that as a performer she would know that satire is covered in the First Amendment....
