TV shows you really hate, past or present

[ironflange]

Not necessarily bad shows, just the ones you can't stand.


Friends

Murder, She Wrote

Anything Columbo

Dukes of Hazzard (despite those short-shorts)

Leno

[HEyHEY]

1. hmm

Three's company
Hunter
Magnum PI

[Paragon]

4. Wha-huh?!?

THREE'S COMPANY and MAGNUM, P.I., pure genius.

[HEyHEY]

7. ack

No way, can't deal with them

[ironflange]

14. Now, now

I said just the ones you personally loathe. Columbo, for example, is considered a pretty good show, but it makes my skin crawl. Worse is that the wife is a big fan. :mad:

[The Zanti Regent]

2. The Brady Bunch Variety Hour

I came across this travesty ONCE and was scarred for life

[Deja Q]

6. Oh come now, surely that show is not worse than "Friends"?

Though I'll agree it is a travesty of an aborted joke...

But at least Cousin Oliver wasn't in it! :evilgrin: He went on to play Doctor Zee, you know!

Yeah, that's another travesty: "GALACTICA 1980"

[liberalhistorian]

22. LOL!

I remember that one, I was eleven years old when it came on and I thought it was brilliant at the time. Now I look at it and wonder how I could have even stood for watching just five minutes of it.

The number one show I just cannot stand and never will be able to stand is The Nanny.

[Deja Q]

3. Friends

Friends

I know there are others, like all the right wing talk shows and Galactica 1980, but Friends comes to mind. Especially when half the actors aren't worth a millionth of their salaries, right Matt?

[HEyHEY]

5. yeah I hate that too

AND HOW THE FUCK DO A BUNCH OF COFFEE SHOP WAITERS EARN ENOUGH TO LIVE IN A HUGE PAD IN MANHATTAN??

[HEyHEY]

9. I also notice

The absence of any minority on that show..I'm not a PC nut, but it's fucking New York, you'd think there'd be at least one person from another country there!

[rene moon]

37. uhhh, only one worked in a coffee house

The rest actually have careers. I love Friends and I will be sorry to see it go.

[kmla]

8. I can only touch the tip o' the 'berg.

Fear Factor - how much of your dignity does your 15 minutes of fame cost?
The A-Team
Magnum P.I.
The Fall Guy
T.J. Hooker
Dynasty
Falcon Crest

[HEyHEY]

10. yeah fucking fear factory

Or ANY OF THESE STUPID FUCKING REALITY SHOWS

[Deja Q]

13. I second that!

Even "The Brady Bunch Variety Hour" is watchable by comparison.

[oldleftguy]

15. I agree!!! Reality shows are the worst on TV!

:puke:

[Khephra]

11. Friends or Sienfeld

They were/are both so retched that it is hard to choose between the two.

[HEyHEY]

12. I love Seinfeld

But frineds can burn in hell

[catzies]

30. Friends AND Seinfeld.

Bleah. And I usually don't like anyone who likes them either.

[RandomKoolzip]

16. KILL YOUR TELEVISION!! Seriously.

Turn off your TVs and start talking to each other. Nothing good can come of this medium, as it is wholly oned by multi-nationals who do not have the interests of the masses at heart, just their money. Stop watching TV altogether, and you wil feel 150% better. (Except Mystery Science Theatre 3000, the only show worth watching besides the Simpsons.)

Having said that, let me say: Friends REALLY SUCKS!!!!! I HAVE seen this show a couple of times before I turned off the box permamnently, and I have nightmares remembering how horrible it was.

[Kamika]

17. WALKER, Texas ranger

ok

[woofless]

18. friends don't let friends watch Friends n/t

[Wolfman 11]

19. King of the Hill

might be the most agonizingly worst attempt at humor ever concocted. I'd rather pull out my toenails with a rusty soup spoon than watch that piece of shit.
In other words, it is bad.

[SmileyBoy]

39. KOTH is a poorly-written animated sitcom.

There's NO delving into the unrealistic in that show. But going into unrealism is the one thing that you HAVE to do if you're doing a cartoon. Seth McFarlane mastered that art, which is why Family Guy was one of the funniest shows in history, IMO.

If KOTH was live-action, I wouldn't notice.

It's sad too, because Mike Judge created Beavis and Butt-Head, then that piece of crap.

[grasswire]

20. Iron chef

....there's just something icky about it.

[Maddy McCall]

21. Joanie Loves Chachi; Emeral Legasi

[Buns_of_Fire]

32. I've been told that, in Korea,

the phonetic translation of "Chachi" is "penis" (you figure it out)... And that the first show had a REALLY big audience. :evilgrin:

[lpbk2713]

23. Hollywood Squares is a pathetic farce.

Don't know how it's lasted this long.
Also, Peter Jennings with the ABC News.

Needless to say the entire Faux Network. Programming for mouth-breathing, green teeth, nitwits. The same people that brought us "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire?".

[PROGRESSIVE1]

24. Here:

Walker, Texas Ranger
Freinds
Everyone Lovers Raymond
The Lion's Den
Growing Pains

[izzie]

25. I hardly watch anything but news and c-span

Unless it is law and order. I gave up years ago. Also like things like Aand E for specials like Jane Austins movies.etc.History also

[Skittles]

26. ER

soap opera in a hospital, totally predictable, bad acting

[mitchtv]

27. Lyon's Den-Leno

let ahrnold watch them

[NightTrain]

28. So many to choose from!

"My Little Margie." The white-bread '50s conformist mentality conveniently boiled down to a single half-hour!

"The A-Team." it featured 34 acts of violence per 60-minute episode. For the early 1980s, that was quite remarkable!

"Married With Children." I was raised in a dysfunctional household. I didn't need to see them romanticized in a sitcom.

"Roseanne." I grew up around working-class white trash. I don't need to see them romanticized in a sitcom. (Gee, is a pattern emerging here???)

"The Cosby Show." What the hell did people see in this show? With an all-white cast, it could easily have run against "Leave It To Beaver" and "Father Knows Best."

"Inside Edition." Before he ever went to Fox News, Bill O'Reilly was still a phony, self-righteous jerk-off. And boy, did he prove it on this show!

"Dukes of Hazzard." It insulted my intelligence, even when I was only 14 and still listened to Shaun Cassidy and Leif Garrett.

[Laughing Mirror]

31. was My Little Margie the one with Gale Storm and the marvelous

Zazu Pitts?

[sasquatch]

29. Tough Crowd and The Real World

I'd like to see the real world with five people that have to pay the bills by working low paying, underemploying jobs. Wait a minute the is the Real World.:(

[joeybee12]

33. Frasier--the MOST over-rated show in the history of television!

A merely competent show that has the most Emmys ever! A travesty!

[scarlet_owl]

34. I hate Friends

or any sitcom, for that matter. I rarely watch television other than PBS or Discovery. Too bad I don't get real cable so I can watch Comedy Central. I love that channel!

[opiate69]

35. Oh, so many shows, so little time...

Friends
Murder, She Wrote
Survivor
The Real World
Road Rules
Yo! MTV Raps!
All of the home improvement shows (Trading Spaces, While You Were Out, etc..)
American Idol
Star Search
American Bandstand
Solid Gold
I Love Lucy (no offense to Lucy fans, but she just drives me f***ing crazy)
Touched by an Angel
and probably a thousand other's I can't think of right now.

[CO Liberal]

36. "Highway to Heaven", "Touched by an Angel", The Waltons" and "Apple's Way"

:puke:
:puke:
:puke:
:puke:

[SmileyBoy]

38. Full House, Family Matters, Step By Step, all that Miller-Boyett crap.

Miller-Boyett was the group that created all those shit shows. All from the dark ages of TV sitcoms, 1986-1996 (excluding Married With Children, Roseanne and Seinfeld).
