im surprised nobody has mentioned Friends yet. the show is like a poorly written Seinfeld that tries to be more than a show about nothing and fails horribly.

Dr Phil, America's Next Top Model (because I hate Tyra Banks), King of Queens (and all the other stupid sitcoms), Late Night With Jay Leno, and Rachael Ray's cooking shows.

I agree about SpongeBob Square Pants. Almost all cartoons these days are stupid and unfunny and the language is over the top for children's programming.

I loathe Jerry Springer.

I don't like most of those talk shows; Maury Povich, The View, The Tyra Banks show, etc.
I don't like soap operas.
I don't like the news, except for the weather.
And I don't like most of those kid shows.

I am an avid Simpsons fan. I especially like these characters: Lisa, Marge, Grandpa Simpson, Jasper Beardley (the old guy with the beard at the retirement home), Ralph Wiggum, Ned Flanders, and his two sons: Rod and Todd.

I also like the classic shows Cheers, Full House, Growing Pains, and Mad About You. Those are all inoffensive sitcoms.

I must also say that I love virtually game show around. I don't think I could list all of my favorite ones here, though. One of my favorite former shows is NBC's remake of Twenty-One. It was a simple quiz show with two constestants in sound-proof booths and they had to try to reach 21 as quickly as possible.

I am not a fan of MTV or of any of the reality shows that dominate prime-time. VH1 has steadily gotten worse over the past few years, too. I'd like to experience the MTV that the world was introduced to more than 25 years ago (all music videos). I did for a while when The Tube Music Network was on the air. Sadly, it signed off in early October due to financial problems.

Reality Shows and talk shows.

They keep reaching for all these new ideas, that just fade out way to quickly in my opinion. The best reality show they had only aired for one season. It was called Ford No boundaries where a group of 20 people had to make there way along the west coast of Canada starting at the US/Canada border and make there way to Alaska by backpack, doing various tasks along the way like sea kayaking etc.

I dunno...if I don't like a show, that's what the remote's for...;)

Hmm...out of all the Star Trek shows, I guess DS9 I watched the least. The 1st Battlestar Galactica (with the capes and the robodawg...;) but at the time, that was it. No Star Trek, movies or show, and Star Wars was between episodes...sigh...;)

Okay it's a toss up between:

Big Brother
Kath and Kim
any cooking show

...and... Does livecast of cricket, billiards, or chess count?

Yes, I found "Friends" very aggravating, also "Swill and Disgrace (Will & Grace"), "Dharma & Greg" and all similar S(h)it coms that rely on lame dialogue and annoying characters.

Watching Springer can be a big of stress relief because I can bag out the losers he puts on his show but I'd rather just avoid the whole thing. Donahue was a bit like that sometimes too but at least some of his shows were okay.

South Park. It's too uppity to be funny.

Also, Drawn Together. I don't get offended easily, but it offends me.

Dr. Phil (how the hell did he get a degree in psychology?), Ricki Lake, Oprah, Big Brother, most soap series, most unsuccesfull sitcoms from the 90's and Seinfeld. I know a lot of people like Seinfeld, but I think it's terribly overrated (except for the scene with the double dipping; that's hillarious!).

Desperate Housewives-that became tedious in a hurry.

Local news programs. They all have these airhead women who can barely read off a cuecard and have an annoying giggly voice.

All in the Family. I thought it was funny when I was in junior high, but when I saw it again a couple years ago, it was mean-spirited and unfunny.
