What the title says. Post TV shows that everyone seems to love even though they're terrible in every possible way.

30 Rock.
Scrubs.
Friends.
Naruto.

Those are just the ones I can bother to think of.

Any cartoon created by Seth Macfarlane.
Any reality show.
Most of the shows on adult swim.
South Park (I don't actually hate this show, I'm just sick of it)

I can't stand reality shows. I'm also not a big fan of American Idol, either. Another show that I tend to avoid, is America's Next Top Model.

American Idol, any (un) reality show, The Cleveland Show. Letterman, Leno or O'Brien. teen "dramas" like The Gossip Girls. All those shows filled with chiseled featured, perfect people. Medium and Ghost Whisperer. Any of those stupid paranormal, ghost hunting farces that pollute SyFy. By the way, why is wrestling on SyFy?

I have no idea why, but it's the same for me.

I usually hate those kind of shows too, but there was one episode were one of the families had a comedian father who was extremely histerical. There was one part were the swapped wife was trying to get the whole family to do chores, and she ended up finding the dad in the basement holding a bowling pin. He then said, "You've pinned me. I will stirke you, so spare me." :lol:

Glee (I cringe everytime there's an obviously predictable cliche or storyline when I watch this...so yeah...alot of cringing)

Grey's Anatomy (I watched season 5 of this show and that was it. It started pretty likeable so I tuned it but as the season was winding down I knew that things were heading downhill. Couldnt watch this season cause it was on same time as Fringe but I kept track of what was going on via spoilers and its turns out this season of GA is down a total crapper. I watched one episode when Fringe wasnt on and it was a cringe-worthy episode. Then I find out from one of my tv spoiler sites that I visit that my favorite pairing on the show (and the reason why I decided to keep watching GA) was headed toward a major trainwreck and is expected to end. So that's the end of GA for me.)

Watched House for a couple of seasons but eventually gave up on that show too.

Oh yeah...who could forget American Idol?! ! It was fun to watch the audition episodes like back in Season 1 but then after that, what's the point?

Where do I start?

Ok, probably the most widely watched programme in the UK is a soap called Eastenders, which I can't stand.

Also, I started watching The Wire, which all the critics were raving about, and I thought it was rubbish.

Big Brother / Celebrity Big Brother.

I watched it for about 15 minutes last night, and all I saw was this guy doing literally nothing (actually that's not true: he drank some bottled water. Then he got up to pee. Then he sat down again. The couch he was sitting on was a lot more interesting than him, it was red velvet, and it was one of those asymmetrical ones).

all reality tv, especially s**t about people who don't know how to use contraception (yes, I'm talking about the creepy couple with 8 creepy children :P)
Prison Break
all the quasi-documentaries with sh***y actors recreating real events (hate'em!)
Teletubbies - I get total rage when I see those creeps, no idea why :p
talk shows where people "talk about their feelings"

damn it, pretty much most tv shows I dislike to some extent :p
