What tv shows do you HATE?

[snkatha]

Hey ladies,
Been looking at some tv shows and to be honest i think these days television is getting more and more trashy. They use human emotion to rev up ratings, it's not about quality anymore it's quantity(ratings). Sometimes i wonder whether it's because tv viewers want mindless television or is it just a trend?
Here are some shows i HATE
1. Extreme makeovere Home edition: Premise of the show is to find a deserving family and help them by giving them a new ome. While that's all fine and dandy, what i detest is how they milk the family for emotion. The more hapless and desperate the family the better. I find this sort of like enjoying someone's pain. they always insist on the family talking about their pain, the more tears it seems the better.

Maybe it's my culture but i believe that if you're helping someone, do it without insisting that a family go over their pain in minute detail! Also the product placement is too much. Yes i know, there's no such thing as kindness in the corporate world without product placement but why not put it in the credits? Or on the website?

2. The girls of the playboy mansion: Everytime i watch this show i feel like all the work feminism has achieved is being flushed down a toilet. I mean really, blonde, empty headed young girls with this old old man who is always in a DRESSING GOWN!
3. The hills: UGH!UGH! i can't watch this show without getting pissed off.


So there are some of my most hated shows on television. They suck! and i think we should be given more quality shows. To be honest with you this entire "reality television" nonesense should DISAPPEAR! What happened to QUALITY TELEVISION?

I hate reality tv. I hate the kardashians and how famous they have become. I wish they would just stop getting media coverage. Worst of all, though is Heidi and Spencer from the hills. They are disgusting, empty headed people.

 

[snkatha]

Isn't it sad that the kardashians got all that attention because of a sex tape? it's sad that someone can become famous and actually relevant because of having sex on camera!

 

[Machinegun_Cali]

yeah I watched that Kim K porno and it was BORING ! She shouldnt be famous for such trash!

I hate House, any of the Law and Orders or CSI's,bachelor(ette).

lol, I'm not big on TV so I dislike most tv shows. I feel like most TV shows are carbon copy of something I've seen before. really I only watch project Runway, Dexter and True Blood. These seem to be the only original and entertaining ones to me. I do agree that reality tv is the worst!

Thank God for books, I much prefer them to tv anyway

 

[Nelly711]

^^ I LOVE Dexter & True Blood!

 

[MissAlexisDDD]

I hate...hate.. HAAAATE friends. It's the dumbest show and not even the least bit funny. Plus, Jenn Aniston looks like a freakin' man.

I also don't like phineas and ferb or whatever on disney. Now I love cartoons but this one irks me, lol.

 

[staceb1990]

I hate the majority of whats on television right now. The only ones I watch are the Ricky Gervais Show and Weeds.

I also love Stephen Colbert and John Stewart, but I consider those to be my source of current events.

 

[blazeno.8]

I stopped watching TV by accident, but I never started again on purpose.

 

[snkatha]

I think the perfect description nowadays for television is: mind rotting nonesense.
I LOVE dexter!!!

 

[Makeup Emporium]

I have to say Glee. I can't figure out why anyone likes that show??? I have tried watching a couple of episodes and can't get past about 15 minutes before I'm ready to scream. I know it's popular but I have no idea why!!!!!

 

[xsnowwhite]

I cant stand friends, everybody loves ramon, stupid stuff like that. Glee or anything like it, csi type shows...idk i cant stand alot of tv.

 

[spectrolite]

^I HATE:
- Any kind of doctor, lawyer, crime scene shows
- Dramatic/emotional shows such as Brothers + Sisters
- Brainless comedys such as Two and a Half Men
- "Reality" TV apart from The Amazing Race which I love.

That pretty much sums up most of what on Tv unfortunately. The only show I have room for in my life at the moment is Lost and when that ends... well I dunno what to do after that lol.

 

[greengoesmoo]

I don't have a TV right now, but I can't stand reality TV or soaps.

 

[Mabelle]

Anything like Jersey Shore or the hills. ie: obnoxious spoiled rich kids with no class, promoting their horrible self obsessed lifestyles.

Grey's Anatomy: Melodramatic selfish doctors having sex with... oh yea, everyone. Imagine the VD!

Sex and the City. GOD, i HATE that show. Middle aged women with no direction, focusing on such stupid frivolous crap! Also, because of this show, i have about 90% too much of Sarah Jessica PArker's foot face in my life!

Dancing with the stars. so sick of hearing about this.

Glee: This show just tried too god damned hard. It's like that obnoxious guy that is always laughing at his own jokes.

Two and a half men: I hate anything that gives Charlie Sheen a spotlight or a paycheck.

That crime show with Greg from Darma and Greg.... It's just so formulaic. And SUCH bad writing. My mom loves it, so sometimes i catch it, but god it's so flipping emo. CRIMINAL MINDS!!! thats the one! Awful!!!!

Also, Sue thomas FB EYE. Just because of the name.

there are soooo many more.

vampire diaries. i think i saw half an episode. if its possible, it seemed even worse than twilight.

 

[panther27]

There are sooo many bad shows on now,a lot of them suck!

 

[mizuki~]

-Seinfeld. I just can't stand it!
-The Hills or anything like that. I can't believe these people get paid soooo much money per episode to sip lattes and talk shit about each other
-Two & a Half Men: not funny at all. Also hate how Charlie treats the ladies

 

[kaliraksha]

Hate:
Most reality shows with the exception of Top Chef, ABDC

Don't understand the hype:
Seinfeld
Mad Men

Oblivious to:
Most other shows... I don't have cable, what I do watch I get off a DL service

I don't have enough time to watch the stuff that I enjoy as it is:
Dexter
True Blood
30 Rock
Top Chef
How I Met Your Mother

I've lost interest in quite a few shows these last 1-2 seasons:
Desperate Housewives
Lost
Weeds
Heroes

I love this post.

I am able to watch and enjoy extremely mindless television, including Pretty Wild, which I consider the absolute worst of the worst (so far). If I got heated about it, I would be pissed all of the time, as it is but one symptom in a very strange period of the modern age. We're in hyper speed on all fronts.

But shows I hate for less meaningful reasons:

- Judge shows, such as Divorce Court. Both visual and audio are like nails on a chalkboard. Reminds me of boring days, sick from school, when all there was to watch was this, soaps or reruns of Petticoat Junction. Same with talk shows. They should have disappeared with the Pontiac Firebird.

- Battlestar Galactica. Due to their coining and overuse of the imaginary word, "frack." No other reason, really.

- Virtually every current television sitcom with a live audience or canned laughter. Another relic we should have left in the early 90s.

Well, I don't hate it, but I don't choose to watch Entertainment Tonight and Extra kind of program.
They say anything so sensational.
