Hit TV show you absolutely loathe

[Mike Daniels]

Not just don't care for, but hate with a red hot passion.

Will and Grace does it for me. I hate that show so much that I change the channel when promos for it come on.

Bunch of whiny self absorbed people who wouldn't even be in the same room with each other in real life. Makes the characters in Seinfeld seem warm and caring by comparison.

[terrya]

1. "Everybody Loves Raymond"

No, everybody does NOT love Raymond.

A shrill, loud, unfunny show with unlikable characters. I avoid this show like the plague.

Terry

[orwell]

10. Yowza

You beat me to it. I have never been able to watch this show.

O

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

18. AMEN

But seriously, can you be surprised this is a hit show in the same country that is actually giving anything more than a passing thought to re-electing Bush?

[Butterflies]

29. I can't stand Raymond either

I like Doris Roberts, but she's not enough to get me to watch. I hope the show goes away after this year (I heard Raymond has enough money now and wants to leave. Good Riddence!)

[ProfessorGAC]

83. Doris Roberts???

Her character is the worst person on the show. There is nothing funny about a woman that condescending and rude! The writers should be beaten and she should work for free for not insisting she would not play a horrid cartoon character.
The Professor

[Skittles]

86. LOCK YOUR DOORS

that's all I can think when I watch that show.

[flamingyouth]

45. Me too

A ridiculous show - I just hate it.

[SCDem]

68. Me too. Everytime I see Patricia Heaton I yell Republican and

turn the channel!!

[fudge stripe cookays]

73. I bleeping hate that bitch

and her stupid, self-serving Albertson's ads.

That's all I could think of when those poor people in California were striking was...what kind of a selfish, self-centered snot do you have to be to advertise for that company when they treat their employees like shit?

[mac56]

76. What kind of a selfish, self-centered snot?

A Republican kind of a selfish, self-centered snot.

The truly sad thing is, I think she's hot, but can't stand to hear her talk.

[ProfessorGAC]

89. Hey Mac, She's Completely Artificial

I read People on a plane and she admitted to having had SEVERAL cosmetic surgeries. Face, hips, boobs, lipo, etc. That ain't my kind of hot.
The Professor

[mac56]

90. Yeah, Prof, I know.

I'm not proud of myself about this.

I did find it amusing that she famously stormed out of some music award show because the language was so vulgar and inappropriate - - and yet was eager to talk with every single entertainment interviewer about her boob job!!

[trotsky]

2. FRIENDS

:puke:

[cheezus]

23. friends at least used to be somewhat funny

*somewhat* - it was never a fav of mine

but recently it's all weddings and babies. and those aren't comedy topics.

[blondeatlast]

51. Yep--I knew someone would have already posted it.

It nearly turns my stomach.

[hyphenate]

55. Ditto

eom

[Cush]

3. My list

Friends

Everybody Loves Raymond

Fraiser

Reality crap

and it goes on and on..................

[Fenris]

4. The thankfully tombstoned Sex and the City

And I agree on Will and Grace. One looooong gay joke.

[blondeatlast]

52. Damn, can I rescind my "Friends" vote?

Wretched excess in the extreme.

[liberalhistorian]

84. Ooohh, I definitely hear

ya on Sex and the City, I NEVER EVER understood what in the hell the big fuss was all about, it's the same damn plot every freaking show! And Survivor, Fear Factor, and ALL OTHER SO-CALLED "REALITY" SHOWS! One evening I was trying to find something decent to watch and on EVERY FUCKING NETWORK CHANNEL they had some goddamned reality show!

I used to love ER, but it's really been going downhill these past couple of years and I don't much care for it anymore.

[JVS]

5. I hate Will and Grace too

it's very appearance gives me pain

[mac56]

74. Another vote for Will & Grace.

I just can't muster up any interest in, or care about, any of the characters.

Used to feel the same way about "The Drew Carey Show".

[elfwitch]

6. This isn't going to be a popular choice but...

I loathe Reality TV. I find it degrading and sensationalistic. It is also a way for TV producers to screw writers because they don't want to have to deal with the union.

Lowest Common Denominator at it's worst. That is Reality TV to me.

[MissMillie]

24. Fear Factor (n/t)

.

[cheezus]

25. how many times can you watch someone eat bugs?

It was shockingly gross the first time, but now it's just gross.

Thank god I have TiVo.

[skippysmom]

35. God, I wish that show would go away

Just the commercials make me nauseous.

Second place goes to Friends. Unfunny, annoying people, with actresses who are too fucking skinny.

[amandae]

56. This one also has my vote!

For me it's a toss up between Fear Factor and Survivor. I can't stand either of them!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

66. Am I the only one who finds the Fear Factor host rather creepy?

What else has this guy been in?

[mac56]

75. Joe Rogan.

Used to be on "News Radio" and was very funny. He's actually a talented stand-up, and was a good friend of Bill Hicks.

Add on edit: Unfortunately, he's signed on as co-host of "The Man Show".

[arcane1]

28. amen to that!!!

:toast:

technically I hate almost ALL tv, but the bs 'reality' genre has finalized and refined that loathing to an amazing degree..

and sadly, it's the broadcast standard that most kids are growing up on now. Gross-out porn, pseudo-sexual power-struggles, and constant back-stabbing and gossip... gee where can I tune in? :eyes:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

46. Elf Witch, we seem to agree on a lot of things...

And I hate reality tv.
Duckie

[shanti]

48. i'm with you!

i think reality teevee is for small minds. unfortunately, that's almost all i hear at work or on the way to and from work. sad...

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

65. The Littlest Groom? Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire? Degrading?

Sensationalistic? Who knew?

[ihaveaquestion]

7. Survivor

It's more about scheming to screw the other guy/gal than surviving in a hostile environment. I hate it! My Mom loves it so I've watched it a few times, but - never again! I'll find something else to do.

[RebelOne]

12. I refuse to watch that show.

[cheezus]

22. OMG I hate survivor

I as forced to watch it when we visted my sis-in-law (even more annoying because they don't have tivo)

There was but a few minutes of "survival" stuff, and it wasn't cool. SpikeTV's MXC would be the place to go if you want to see stunts.

It was all about them being fake nice to eachother and plotting against everyone behind their backs. It was terrible! Then I realized why people like it:

That's what their jobs are like.

Not my cup of tea at all

[Skittles]

59. I've watched it with my boyfriend and I found it appalling

it was painful watching people behave like assholes, all in the quest for the almighty buck. Disgusting.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

67. Modern American life, distilled into its essence. EOM

[Skittles]

72. LOL

I guess I just don't find modern American life entertaining. :D

[DrWeird]

8. All of them.

I can't think of a recent hit TV show that was any good.

[Squeegee]

39. I agree!

[kmla]

9. Fear Factor. Survivor. American Idol. Big Brother.

Joe Millionaire.

Are ya sensing a pattern here?

[TahitiNut]

33. Amen.

"Reality"? Ha! Cheaper, that's all.

[Skittles]

58. yes

the pattern is sick sh**

[Champ]

93. ....

I liked Joe Millionaire, it was funny. There were times I just busted out laughing.

[Bertha Venation]

11. all reality shows

Whatever you name, I hate it.

[TriadLeftist]

13. Reality shows

Take your pick - I hate 'em all

[Canuckistanian]

14. Do you remember when...

You used to plan your night around your favorite TV show. Now it's just...."oh, this again. Guess there's nothing else on...."

[trotsky]

31. Hey, I'm happy to say I get to do that again.

Tuesday Nights on Bravo!

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy made me WANT to watch TV again, and now they've added that Significant Others show, which is a riot, AND the upcoming series on kid beauty queens.

[PartyPooper]

15. "The West Wing"...b'cuz it reminds me WHO should be in the White House!

I realize this is a bit irrational, but, I can't help it. I won't watch this show! Does anybody else feel this way?

[shekina]

16. Real World

God, I hate that show

[Catholic Sensation]

17. american idol

anyone who likes it should be interned

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

19. I only watch shows on ESPN, Cartoon Network, and Comedy Central

And usually, that's just as background noise for other stuff.

[Insider]

20. south park

can't bear even the commercials. unfortunately enough has crept in to keep me far, far away from this tasteless tripe.

oh, and fear factor is a waste of airtime. the commcercials should be banned.

[Rick Myers]

21. "Friends"

yuk!!!

[TroubleMan]

44. Amen to that!

Friends sucks!!!

[Parrcrow]

26. The Apprentice

A bunch of Amway jerks bowing and scraping to Donald Fucking Trump.

[peekaloo]

81. lol......I bet he puts the winner in charge of his casinos.

:P

[catmandu57]

27. Any sitcom with children

Actually I don't watch much tv these days, home and garden seems to grab me more than anything.

[CO Liberal]

30. "The 700 Club"

:puke:

[Champ]

95. Best vote right here

Yeah I wouldn't shed a tear to see this show cancelled. :evilgrin:

[Lori Price CLG]

32. OMG! I saw this thread, thought "Will & Grace," and that's what u said!

The shows I can't stand are the ones promoted/driven by the Reichwing in Hollywood, such as disgusting, self-serving Debra Messing, the Frasier lead actor (can't think of his name at the moment, but I know he is a Repuke as he has been on the talk-show circuit) and any of those Reichwing 'military' and/or 'Homeland Suckurity' - promoting shows.

-Lori

[mvd]

34. Survivor: All Stars

It seems very, very contrived.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

36. SEX AND THE CITY

:puke:

[shanti]

49. well

you should be happy to know that the show has ended. i loved it tho and i'm sad to see it end! :cry:

[Deja Q]

37. Mainstream TV SUCKS

'nuff said.

[camero]

38. A few

Seinfeld
The Sopranos
Sex and the City
American Idol
Survivor
Road Rules

Well, practically all of TV is shit nowadays.

[neverborn]

40. Any of the "Average Joe" "Bachelorette" type shows

=x

[NNadir]

41. I can't say I watch enough television to know what I hate.

The last show I can recall hating was M*A*S*H.

[JohnLocke]

42. Survivor and every reality show. Exception: "Last Comic Standing."

[Skittles]

57. Agreed - with NO exceptions

so-called "reality shows" absolutely disgust me. I think it is apalling how people will degrade themselves for money - and that people find it entertaining.

[bigwillq]

43. I always have and always will loathe

Frasier. whiny, self-righteous, wanna-be yuppies. They all need years of therapy

[GiovanniC]

47. Does "Threat Matrix" Count as a "hit" Show?

n/t

[Triple H]

50. Every fucking "reality" tv show.

As well as "Friends," "Everybody Loves Raymond"(I don't), any law and police shows, and "Will and Grace."

[arewethereyet]

53. that stuff on broadcast tv between 8-11 except "Raymond"

the rest of it is terrible

thats why i watch Food TV

[Redleg]

54. Will and Grace has become very annoying to me.

They are the most neurotic, self-absorbed New Yorkers ever portrayed on TV. Jack has got to be the worst of all of them. What a flakey SOB. I liked the show when it first came out but now I can't friggin stand it!

[SmileyBoy]

60. King of the Hill.

Mike Judge went from Beavis And Butt-Head to THIS???

[truebrit71]

61. Fear Factor ROCKS!!!!

Hot chicks in bikini's + Ice Cold Water = a purient's wet dream!!! ;-)

Plus it's fun to watch all the buffed out Ken and Barbie's eating ass, spleen and roaches each week...Especially when they eat all that stuff AND STILL LOSE!!! Hahahahahahaha..!!!

The shows I really hate are the 'Bachelor/Bachelorette' shows...a bunch of shallow, vacuous, superficial idiots fawning over people that can't get dates in the first place!!!!

Oh yeah, and Donald 'Comb-over' Trump, "Bugger off" you are annoying and soooooooooo last century...

Let's see, what else..umm, Friends...never 'got' it...Frasier overstayed his welcome by about two seasons...

[VOX]

62. Every damned one of them. I watch NO network TV...

I just can't stand that electronic medicine show blaring in my face.

Ugh.

[Dees]

63. Best Damn Sports Show.......

Tom Arnold....give me a friggin break.

[Champ]

94. It is the best damn sports show

but they need to replace Arnold, actually why do they need to? They get good ratings with him on there, changing the ingredients of success is unwise. But if it was up to me I'd replace him with a real comedian.

[tsakshaug]

64. Yankees

Any time the Yankees are on TV.

[hippiechick]

69. Cheers, Friends, Seinfeld ... any of 'em ....

20/30-something single, wealthy yuppie angst :eyes:

:hippie:

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

70. CSI: Miami

David Caruso's voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. And his delivery is slightly more annoying. The plots of the show are ridiculous; Crime Scene investigators don't interrogate suspects or kick down doors -- most of them never touch a firearm. Yech!

[FunBobbyMucha]

71. Word on Will&Grace

and like someone above, I actually liked it for about a season. Karen is hot, still love that actress, but I wanna kill the two lead characters. It shares manson lamps hatred in my heart right beside the thankfully deceased "Just Shoot Me."

[terrya]

77. They should just animate "Will and Grace" and put it on Saturday mornings.

The characters on the show are cartoonish, at best.

I won't disavow the impact this show has had on popular culture...making gay characters and gay life on television seem so ordinary. And I do thank this show for that.

But, man, the characters themselves are cardboard...to say the least.

Terry

[skypilot]

78. BOTH of those "CSI" shows...

...especially the original. Grissom and the character played by Marge Helgenberger (sp?) are so utterly devoid of charm or likability. I can't stand to see the two of them on the screen at the same time. And all those nasty shots of bullets, knives, etc. penetrating the human body:puke:. I watched CSI:Miami maybe twice and it's just the same show with the same characters in Miami. David Caruso is insufferable, especially in those sunglasses and the woman who performs the autopsies really gets on my nerves always looking down almost lovingly on the corpses and talking to them. Give me a break.

[sniffa]

79. home improvement

worst show ever!

[Skittles]

80. it was freaking terrible

everyone in it was annoying

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

85. A favorite review of "Home Improvement"

referred to it as "an alleged comedy."

[peekaloo]

82. Will and Grace WASTES the talent of John Cleese!

un-fooking-forgivable.

[Ganja Ninja]

87. The entire FOX News network.

No other explanation is necessary.

[MissMillie]

88. Crank Yankers

I feel so sorry for the poor folks whose only crime is that they answered the phone.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

97. I agree with you totally there MissMillie

While I do have a sense of humour, I find an overwhelming proportion of the jokes on that show very offensive and demeaning to people who are on the other line. Especially when you see how many of those people who answer the phone are genuinely trying to be helpful to someone who is only interested in having a joke at their expense

[curse10]

91. Everybody loves Raymond

I fucking HATE that show.

[Burma Jones]

92. ALL Except the Simpsons, Six Feet Under and the Sopranos

I absolutely despise sitcoms - except the Simpsons and Arrested Dev't.

Shows wife and I like that are not hits:

Dead Like Me
Arrested Development

[smirkymonkey]

96. All of them.
