Piggybacking w/ Writer: Name a TV Show that you Hate - Everyone Loves
Mine:

Scrubs - Just plain, damn, stupid

Desperate Housewives - Inanely, superficial and cartoonish. IMHO

9. That's part of it.
If it were an obscure show nobody watched, it'd be okay. Lots of crappy shows fit that bill, but its popularity makes it worse.

20. I realize many people love it, but it seems like it's on
for two hours every night (I realize that is exaggerating).

I record House, and of course I always get the tail-end of American Idol. And it seems like we're only getting one new episode every three weeks, but American Idol is on constantly.

I stopped watching Olbermann because I got tired of him talking about American Idol. I couldn't possibly care less who the next mediocre pop star is.

18. Worst. Show. Ever.
I think that when apes do take control of the planet, this show, along with the election of George W. Bush, will be seen as a turning point in their favor.

5. Sex in the City. Ally McBeal.
Never saw the appeal of either. Sex in the City struck me as just another porn show and Ally McBeal, well let's just say I never got it.

23. SitC is horrible.
We're supposed to be cheering on and identifying with characters that are completely loathsome and mostly insane? Really? That barely worked for Seinfeld and they had far better writers.

8. Grey's Anatomy-ugh
24-watched the 1st season and part of the 2nd-just plain bad.
Nip/Tuck-can't sit through a whole episode, too graphic for my taste
ER-hated it since it first premiered.

13. I cringe at most of the ABC shows except Ugly Betty
Edited on Thu Feb-22-07 01:56 PM by Strawman
Brothers and Sisters, not sure if it is popular, but :puke:
Grey's Anatomy :puke:

That one they had with John Stamos awhile back, also not popular but :puke:

And another not popular one that gets an honorable puke is "Brian" one. :puke:

26. An ex-beau claimed it to be his favorite show
I should have probably ended things right there and then. Oddly enough (not) one of the biggest factors in our breakup was his lack of sense of humor.

14. AI.
"Artificial Intelligence" or "American Idol"--I fail to see the difference between the two concepts.

27. Hate is such a strong word - but, I could care less about most shows
the only show I watch with regularity is Battlestar Galactica. I couldn't name the top 20 shows on TV and don't really care that I can't.

29. Everybody Loves Raymond!!!!!!
Not only do I think Ray Romano is one of the worst comedians in America (not to mention Kevin James), but his show is pretty nauseating.

I watched that ridiculous, painfully unfunny show once. Once. There went 30 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
