Celebrity Apprentice- this show rubs me the wrong way. Everytime I see it the tasks seem so pointless when there are actual real problems out there. Like one of the more recent ones had a meatball project. Really?! Plus all the uptightness by the celebrities and the executives is exruciating. Oh and the good hour and half of rich ppl bitching back and forth. The saving grace is the money goes to charity. Also, I don't like how Donald Trump says "project manager."

The Job- this show never made it on the air, but I hated it anyway. No one wants to watch a show about job interviews. Watch tv for entertainment, not a reminder of the real world.

Hell's Kitchen- I used to love this show b/c of the new-ness of it, now it's just trash. All it is Gordan Ramsey yelling at these wannabe cooks, which got old really fast. Plus, the wannabe cooks seem to be disgusting, sweaty, ghetto types that bitch nonstop at each other and they get worse every year. To top it all off, they all fuckin smoke! Who the hell wants to eat something made by these ppl?!

Masterchef- This show can be really good if they got rid of the douche judge (the bald one). He's just a douche.

American Idol- I get that hating Idol might be the "cool" thing to do, but like Hell's Kitchen, I used to watch this show for the horrible singers getting their dreams absolutely crushed. But it got old really fast too. Plus I also think the guys that do "make it" seem spoiled and...snooty.

Wife Swap/Celebrity Wife Swap- I really need to go into detail here...

Undercover Boss- Way too many fuckin sap stories.

The house restoration show on ABC (forget what it was called)- Same thing...too many fuckin sap stories. I don't want to cry when I want to watch tv!

Other shows that I could hate, but can't b/c I avoid them anyway: Dancing With the Stars, Honey Boo Boo, Secret Life of American Teenager, Glee.

Every "reality" TV show that's ever existed. I could fill up an entire solar system with all of the fucks I don't give about any of those shows.

The vast majority of comedy shows, especially ones with the canned laughter. They're not funny. They never will be funny. And they are boring as fuck.

The Following. I saw the first episode, and it was enough to put me off the show for life. It makes me wonder how Alcatraz got cancelled for being "too violent" while this glorified gorn show still stays on the air.

Law and Order (especially SVU). I absolutely hate the characters they use. They're either flat cardboard cutouts (all but maybe one or two characters) or they're enough of a fucking psycho that you'd hate their guts no matter which show they're on (I'm looking at you, Detective Elliot Stabler).

Can't think of more at the moment, but they're out there.

My wife and I used to really enjoy American Idol. But when Nicki Minaj became a judge, we simply have been turned off by the show. And apparently we are not the only ones. The show is seeing their lowest ratings since 2003, the shows second season.

Used to mainly watch Discovery Channel and History Channel, but simply cant stand any of the towing, re-po, pawn shop crap that is on now. Oh.. cant forget all the storage auctions either !!!


Really enjoyed show like The Blue Planet, Greatest Migrations, The Universe etc... but unless I am home during the day, don't get to see them anymore.

I like Hell's Kitchen, but I agree everyone seems to be really ghetto and disgusting on that show now. I think they pick about 3-4 cooks that have a legitimate shot at winning, and then fill the rest out with people who'll make drama for the show. I like Masterchef too, I think the bald judge works pretty well actually, contrasts with the nicer one, and Ramsey.

Never watched any of the other shows though, I wouldn't want to watch any of the Apprentice shows either, Trump just annoys me.

I used to watch Survivor years ago, stopped watching it after the third or fourth season for a while and tried it again after I got out of the military, it had changed so much, I don't like it anymore. They give them wood and tools to build a shelter (and instruct them how) give them food and blankets and pillows, and they just lay on a beach for a month. Before they had them out in the African desert actually having to find food and things like that. My dad said one year a camp had no food and they had to offer a swap of shelter for food (because they were actually starving) and ever sense they've just thrown food at them... Gotten pretty stupid.

Amazing Race is another that I used to watch that have stopped a bit. I wouldn't mind going on that show though just because of the amazing places you can go. Winning the money wouldn't even be a big deal for me, completing the race and seeing those sights, that'd be the best part. But last I saw they were essentially just bringing famous people and people who essentially adventure professionally. Sort of the same thing with Survivor actually.. I like it better when they get real people.



Now I watch Walking Dead, Archer, Family Guy, The Americans (started it when it came on, I like it so far), and a few others. I've also been watching Combat Rescue as well. It kind of shell shocked my girlfriend a bit, because it gives you a little insight on the types of things that happen in Afghanistan, very well made though. It's all real camera's, real PJ's, they did a good job with it, I'd highly recommend it.

I rarely watch anything that isn't already on Netflix. Most of those shows have been referred to me by friends. Or as in the case with Asylum and Walking Dead, my fellow ROD buds.

My shows are getting slammed!

I love The Following.

I like American Idol, still.

I really dig; the Apprentice, Survivor, Blue Bloods, Chicago Fire, The Mentalist, and porn.

LMAO. That's a great series.

Besides the obvious shows that no man can stomach(ie Bridezillas, Girl Meets Gown, those child glamor model shows, the housewives shows etc), I dislike most fictional crime shows, Cajun Pawn Stars, Futurama, and those ghost shows.

The crime shows(CSIs, Law and Order, etc) all have the same predictable scripting frame. Every show unfolds the same way. It just gets boring. When the plot is predictable and the actors, for the most part, are uninspiring, why watch.

I love Pawn Stars.... Absolutely despise the Louisiana version. It...is....awful

Just never thought Futurama was funny.

The reality ghost shows could be decent but they all over dramatize everything and a lot of the hosts are d-bags

Those ghost shows can be good if you turn your brain off. My fav is Destination Truth. The team goes all over to the world to these real remote places and you get to see and learn about their culture/stories. Some of them are damn scary, and the creepiest one of all was the haunted doll island. A fuckin island with dolls hanging (yes HANGING) all over the dead of night w/ a night vision camera. And one got zoomed in on and IT FUCKIN OPEN ITS EYES BY ITSELF. That scared the crap out of me, staged or not.

Here's a clip (about 9 seconds in)

Wow -- those all sound dreadful. Haven't really watched any of them, nor do I plan to.

Gotta admit, though, I DO like Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. Nothing beats Gordon getting in a stubborn owner's face and telling him "Stick it up your arse sideways!" -- that's pure gold, right there.

And I LIKED the first 3 or 4 episodes of the Following, but it's lost a lot of steam since then. I know we're supposed to suspend our disbelief, but seriously -- a dude sets another guy on fire on a crowded street in broad daylight and calmly walks away with nobody wrestling him to the ground and stomping his guts out?!? And the same goes for the chick in the diner with the spear gun. This is one of those shows that needs to be one and done -- end it after one season...it already seems like the writers are dragging this out, and there's still 6 episodes left.

I was watching "The Following" as the 1st episode was pretty good. However, the show has become absolutley pathetic, and yet becasue my wife likes Kevin Bacon, I am subjected to watching it.

Well...that's one way to avoid them.

I've seen a couple episodes of Kitchen Nightmares, but again...the sap stories.

Haven't even heard of Following.
