Title: TV Shows You Never Watched? Post by: Killer Bees on March 20, 2011, 07:29:21 AM I was thinking today about all the tv shows that have come and gone and how some were so popular they are an entrenched part of the culture (Friends and Seinfeld, for example). But I didn't watch some shows even though they were insanely popular. Here's my list:
Twin Peaks A-Team Greatest American Hero Quantum Leap Magnum PI My Sister Sam My Two Dads Perfect Strangers Baywatch Murder, She Wrote Diagnosis Murder Highway To Heaven 7th Heaven Party of Five Simon & Simon Falcon Crest Which shows did you never watch no matter how popular they were or how many people recommended them?

Title: Re: TV Shows You Never Watched? Post by: Doggett on March 20, 2011, 10:08:40 AM Pretty much everything.
The only thing I do watch is Doctor Who, Neighbours and Masterchef. When it comes to old shows, the only ones I watched regulary was The X Files, Quantum Leap and ST: DS9 Title: Re: TV Shows You Never Watched? Post by: Mr. DS on March 20, 2011, 01:28:42 PM Lost Amongst many others, this one is actually the first one I thought of when I saw this thread. I like shows with more answers than questions. Doggett will probably defriend me but................The X-Files. :buggedout: Title: Re: TV Shows You Never Watched?

But Trevor's just posted you his crustiest underpants. So be warned. :bluesad: Title: Re: TV Shows You Never Watched? Post by: JaseSF on March 20, 2011, 08:34:23 PM Buffy
Angel Dexter Alias CSI (any of 'em) Supernatural Roswell 24 But I have watched many obscure Canadian shows in the superhero, horror, sci-fi, animated and fantasy genres. Title: Re: TV Shows You Never Watched? Post by: Rev. Powell on March 20, 2011, 10:49:10 PM Most of them. Some notable ones I've refused to watch:
Friends. Watched an episode and parts of others and never, ever laughed, plus the characters were all hatable. Two and a Half Men, though I'm not sure whether this was popular or not. Dr. Who Star Trek: The Next Generation Lost Any reality show Title: Re: TV Shows You Never Watched? Post by: Killer Bees on March 21, 2011, 04:01:48 AM Pretty much everything.

When it comes to old shows, the only ones I watched regulary was The X Files, Quantum Leap and ST: DS9 On behalf of every citizen of my country, Doggett, I sincerely apologise for the dreck that is known as Neighbours. Although we Aussies are generally an easy going friendly give -you-the-shirt-off-our-backs type of nation, we did slide into the Crimes Against Humanity Circle of Hell by foisting Neighbours upon the unsuspecting populace of the world. :teddyr: Title: Re: TV Shows You Never Watched? Post by: Jack on March 21, 2011, 06:46:23 AM Just going through last week's TV ratings:
American Idol Glee House Big Bang Theory The Bachelor CSI Undercover Boss Biggest Loser Two and a Half Men The Mentalist The Apprentice Secret Millionaire Rules of Engagement Amazing Race Never seen so much as 5 minutes of any of them :teddyr: Title: Re: TV Shows You Never Watched? Post by: venomx on March 21, 2011, 08:26:22 AM I was forced to watch the last season of LOST... yeah and I was lost, very lost. I didn't like it.
I never watched the new V. I hear people say it sucks... it that true? I'm a fan of the old V. I never watched any Dr. Whos... but I would like to... where to start? Any suggestions? Title: Re: TV Shows You Never Watched? Post by: SPazzo on March 21, 2011, 10:44:47 AM Basically anything popular:
Lost CSI Two and a Half Men The Sopranos Supernatural Dexter House American Idol Jersey Shore Etc... I don't watch too much TV as it is. If I do, it's on Netflix or DVD, so I can choose what I want to watch, rather than watching whatever is on. Title: Re: TV Shows You Never Watched?

Its the only soap I watch and I think Karl Kennedy is the man ! Title: Re: TV Shows You Never Watched? Post by: The Burgomaster on March 21, 2011, 12:51:55 PM Almost everything after the early 1980s. If I want to see a show bad enough now, I buy the DVDs when they get released. Back in the 70s I watched a lot of shows on a regular basis: ALL IN THE FAMILY, BARNEY MILLER, THE ROOKIES, THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW, THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN, and stuff like that. Now, I just can't seem to get in the habit of tuning into any show on a regular basis.

Dr. Who Star Trek: The Next Generation Lost Any reality show I'm with you on Friends, Rev. I don't watch any of those Gossip Girls type shows either. I might watch a reality show if the contestants ended up thrown into a giant blender or hunted by pygmy headhunters or something. Title: Re: TV Shows You Never Watched? Post by: BoyScoutKevin on March 21, 2011, 04:26:03 PM Pretty much anything that has been on television the past three years. My TV went out three years ago, and I never have replaced it, and I probably never will replace it, as I have better ways to spend my money.

I never watched the new V. I hear people say it sucks... it that true? I'm a fan of the old V. I never watched any Dr. Whos... but I would like to... where to start? Any suggestions? Well most fans seem to enjoy the Tom Baker stuff the most. Personally I think I like Patrick Troughton the best. Some people are huge fans of the newer series..probably depends on your taste as each Doctor is kind of unique and different than the one who came before even though it is in some ways the same character...the early Doctors (Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee) tended to be more serious while the later ones from Tom Baker on seemed a little more fun (aside from a few exceptions here and there). There is a surprisingly good continuity between the character over its many incarnations... Title: Re: TV Shows You Never Watched? Post by: Flick James on March 22, 2011, 03:21:26 PM Mad Men. I've heard it's a good show, but I've never seen a bit of it.
Title: Re: TV Shows You Never Watched? Post by: RCMerchant on March 22, 2011, 04:41:25 PM I'll go with "pretty much anything" as well.
The only recent programs I DO watch every week- .Antique Roadshow .American Experiance .NOVA .Nature ...I watch a lot of PBS because the other channels I get are CBS,NBC,ABC,ION,and WGN. hmmm...that's it. OH!- I watch the local news on Ch.17 every night. I also like to watch the reruns of Criminal Minds on ION TV. Other wise I watch movies or documentaries that I own..

My parents never let me watch any other channel until I was like 11 or 12. So I'm pretty well versed in 70s British Comedies, Educational Children's programs, and all sorts of documentaries! :teddyr: Title: Re: TV Shows You Never Watched?

Or do you watch them online? I would HAVE to have my monster and bad movie fix! I'd go into serious withdrawls! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUu43zuH_q4 Title: Re: TV Shows You Never Watched? Post by: BoyScoutKevin on March 23, 2011, 05:24:07 PM Fair enough question. But if I have better ways to spend my money, I also have better ways to spend my time, such as accessing this board as often as I can. Thus, I have little if any interest in watching TV shows on-line or in any other way that they might be shown.
