The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, The District, Baby Bob, The Oprah Winfrey Show, Big Brother, Touched By an Angel, First Monday, The Weakest Link, Crossing Jordan, The Rosie O'Donnell Show, The Agency...

Posted by: mikey

Any reality-type show, any pro wrestling.

Posted by: jsmeeker

Wow. Lots of anti-wrestling folks here.

I can't think off the top of my head a show that I hate rght now. With TiVo, I get to avoid all that.

Posted by: TheSimpsons

I would also have to say any wrestling. The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Craig Kilborn (late night show), COPS and sleazy junk like that. TRL, Real World, Greg the Bunny, That 80's show. Also, Boston Public, I know a lot of people like the show, but man that school has just TOO many problems...
A teacher fires a gun in class
A teacher sleeps with a student
A student comes to school with a gun
A student is found with a foot in his locker
A student kills himself after he could not graduate with Honors
A student is thrown in jail
A student was involved in a gang etc. etc.
The show is just TOO unreal for a show that is supposed to have a serious take on "school life" today.

-The Simpsons :) :D :cool: :eek: :p

Anything with Jimmy Kimmel or Adam Corolla.

Boston Public
Wrestling
Enterprise
Big Brother #whatever

Thanks to TiVo recording plenty of good shows for me, the only way I know there are bad shows on TV is from reading other people's complaints about them on the Internet. :D

Posted by: bidger

The View, N-Oprah, ...most any talk show(I feel the need for brevity...probably the reason I'm not big on talk shows).

Posted by: GregF

F*R*I*E*N*D*S! Wake up people, it sucks!

Posted by: phone1

Hey - you guys are naming all my favorite shows!

No, seriously:

"Reality" shows.
Wrestling
and really - Golf on TV??? :confused:

Posted by: jamesbobo

Jerry Springer. I've never watched any reality show, so I can't say how bad they are. I'm just not interested.
I tried to watch The Osbourns, but found it a complete bore. The same goes for Andy Dick (is that still on?)
The following are shows I sampled, but didn't like enough to watch them again:
Girlfriends
That 80's Show
Watching Ellie
Reba
Will & Grace
Who's Line is it Anyway?
Everybody Loves Raymond
Friends

I don't watch Boston Public, so I may be wrong on this, but didn't this happen on Six Feet Under, on HBO? Did Boston Public re-use it, or was it the other way around?

I have never seen Six Feet Under, so I didn't confuse it. However, I do remember this episode. Some teacher took the students to a morgue or something like that and then later they showed a kid opening his locker and a foot in there. Pretty nasty! :eek:

-The Simpsons :) :D :cool: :eek: :p

It must be nice to live somewhere where those things aren't common. Not that I've seen the show or anything, but, with the exception of the foot in the locker, the list seemed pretty realistic to me -- of course, maybe not all at the same school.

Posted by: Maui

Wow, so many shows listed that I like.

Friends beng one of them so, according to GregF, I must be sleeping.

Personally I can't think of any that "I hate". There are plenty I will never watch but am not passionate enough about them to say I hate them. Mostly I just ignore them without any thought at all.

Posted by: phone1

There was a "foot" thing from a DB in both Boston Public and Six Feet Under. Two of our favorite shows!

But the BP student who brings his mother's severed hand to biology class - you mean this doesn't happen every day?

Posted by: Otto

I would start listing them off, but I don't have 4 hrs to type all that in.

Posted by: spartanstew

Law and Order (and any of it's spin offs).
Everybody doesn't love Raymond.

Also, even though it's no longer on the air:

Home Improvement.

I refuse to watch anything with Tim Allen in it. He was not a funny stand up comic, and is an even worse actor. He has somehow made a career out of one bit (grunting like a monkey). He's just the Jeff Foxworthy of tool guys, I guess. He needs to be in more things with Adam Sandler, and then I could avoid two idiots in one shot.

How about almost everything they put on prime time? After all, other than the news, I only watch 5 hours of programming (JAG, Enterprise, Junkyard Wars, Fox cartoon Sundays). All the other shows I want to watch get cancelled and replaced by shows I hate.

OTOH, it's a good thing too, otherwise I'd be stuck watching TV instead of doing productive things...

Posted by: avaloncourt

I would say: any wrestling, any un-reality show. I have to comepletely agree with the Friends comments as well. I can't stand that show and my wife loves it. I asked her why she liked it because it's just about who is doing who this week... that kind of sounds like Will and Grace as well.

Posted by: WinBear

Funny you should say that about Will & Grace. I think Grace is the only one who has had sex more than once in 4 seasons.

Levity-

You really hate King of Queens? That's actually one of the only shows on CBS that I find entertaining. I guess that's what makes the world go-round!!

Posted by: gleffler

I like Will and Grace - it's just funny, I think.

Somebody help me they made a show with all the worst actors on the planet and turned it into a show.
I has one of those ladies from that godawful Delta Burke show.
The bad guy from Happy Gilmore
The lady from the cartoon seen in Twilight Zone the movie
and if thats not bad enough they added Tony Danza.

I don't know the name of it but I know I hate it. I think it is something Law.

Family Law on CBS. Never seen it.

Posted by: AlrightGuy

So many anti-wrestling people.

I just hope they don't watch these shows:

*Friends*
Survivor/Any "reality" shows
Any "date" related shows, like Blind Date, Elimidate, etc. (Don't really consider them reality shows, because I haven't seen them show hideously ugly people going out on dates)
Miami Vice
Any court-related shows, especially Judge Judy
Most teen shows with the exception of MAYBE...MAYBE Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Oh, I almost forgot The Osbournes.

Sorry, but I'm not in love with it like seemingly everyone else. I saw it once, it was alright, but it wasn't enough to make me watch it again, and I don't see what's so great about it.

Isn't that annoying?! Grace is the only one who dates! That's so insulting. Have a show with two gay men, but they can't actually do anything other than say that they're gay. I see the show maybe twice a season, but it just doesn't seem to change. I mean, both Will and Grace are just the whiniest, neediest people I've ever seen... they deserve each other! They are sooooo lame!

What I really have a problem with is that Jack and Karen are just so damn funny! I don't want to laugh during the show, but they make me anyway!

Posted by: DJRobX

The only really popular show I don't like is the West Wing, or anything that's heavily political. Puts me right to sleep. Nor do I like to watch any kind of sports, including wrestling. I did, however, like WWE Tough Enough, but that's really a different genre.

I like reality, comedy, sci fi, dramas, adult animated cartoons, law/cop/crime dramas, how-to, etc, etc, even trashy teen dramas and MTV.

Oprah
The View
Rosie O'donnel
