Whats your list of worst things on tv?Mine are 90% of so called Reality Tv.

Are we talking currently on TV at this time and or stuff from the not too distance past?  If we are talking currently, Jersey Shore and what ever else it spawned from its hellhole.  If we are including stuff that ended not too long ago, H8r.

all daytime TV

I mean anything current but could mean of the last 10 years probably.

I'll agree with reality programming.
Also-American Idol,So You Think You Can Dance,Dancing With the Stars,and other such tripe.
And as Lester said-most daytime tv-Maury,Steve Wilco,Bill Cunningham-uhg.
 "And the DNA/lie detector results are-"

Screaming bloody murder ensues.

Reality shows
sleazy talk shows like Maury,Springer,etc.
most lame programming that passes itself off as comedy
Dancing with the Stars
American Idol

reality TV and TMZ

Speaking of Maury and Jerry Springer.Why dont have different kinda topics anymore like they used to?Same idiotic crap on Springer and Whos The Father on Mauey day after day.I have cared for either one of those crap shows in over 10 years.Also what happened to fun talk shows like Rikki Lake,Sally Jessie,Jenny Jones and such?Seemed they all died around 2001-02.

You are correct. I can't find what Rikki Lake is up to, but Jenny Jones' talk show lasted only from 1997 to 2001. And her last appearance on TV was in 2006 on "The View." Sally Jessie Raphael has done somewhat better. Even though her talk show only lasted from 1990 to 1991, but she seemingly has made a good living appearing as herself on TV, since then. Her last confirmed appearance as herself is in the documentary "Evocateur: the Morton Downey Jr. Movie," which has completed filming and is scheduled to be released later on this year.

I think Sally Jessie went wayyy longer than 1 year.Her show went thru most of the 90s into early 2000s.

Now 'Best' TV? Mutch shorter list.
Pains me to say it...

And you are correct. Actually, the "Sally Jesse Raphael Show," then shortened to "Sally," actually begain on October 17, 1983, in first run syndication, and continued on to sometime in 2002. These dates coming from wikipedia.org.

I first got my information from imdb.com, which actually had the correct dates, which I just misread.

And that is a karma for you for pointing out my error.

Commercials, duh.

The Voice blows. Jerry Springer turned into a lame "I cheated on you with..." type deal. I used to like the show years ago when it dealt with more offensive topics. Maury's endless DNA s**t should be axed. TMZ and all the entertainment shows suck. I used to watch Seinfeld reruns religiously, but up until the past few months I'm not as into it anymore. It's been said before, but I think the Simpsons peaked about ten years ago. The newer episodes make me kinda sad, really. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm so f**king bored with TV lately it's not funny. Nowadays I'm more into listening to music and/ or creating my own music and watching good/bad movies more than ever.

Everything I see on TV currently is bad.  And I mean really bad, so bad that it offends me deeply as a human being that anyone, anywhere, would dare try to peddle this s**t to me as entertainment.

Hell, suddenly crap like the Fred videos on YouTube seem like bastions of artistic integrity in comparison to the crap on TV.

Hell, I couldn't even tell ya the name of 98% of all tv now.

I limit it to: South Park, Law and Order, and WWE.

I don't know any 'network' shows.

Most stuff on TV, seriously, WTF happened? I would post some stuff, but I feel like I would puked just posting it. That's how bad my examples are.

- Teletubbies (british cartoon)
- American Idol
- X-factor
- I'm a celebrity. Get me out of here!
- Big Brother
- Jerry Springer
- Jersey Shore
- The Simple Life (P. Hilton & N. Richie)
- ...

The constant assault of lawyers commercials wanting to sue for every drug and medical procedure known to man. What a bunch of tripe! :hatred:

Honestly, most of what's on TV nowadays can quality for "worst stuff on TV' IMO.

Yep, even Spider Man got cancer from these craptastic shows.

Y'know that My Super Sweet Sixteen show, and where the kids don't get the car that they want?

Practically everything that used to be good, but has since degraded into tasteless garbage. The Learning Channel, Discovery and The History Channel all used to have great shows that were interesting and educational and fun. Now, you tune in for show after show of people at home, people at work, people behaving appallingly and tabloid garbage masquerading as documentaries.

Same goes for daytime talk shows like Springer, Maury, etc. Back in the early 90s, I loved those shows. They covered a variety of topics and guests - some serious, some weird, funny, provocative, almost all interesting. Then it just became a parade of scumbags and idiots telling their sordid tales so the audience can be obnoxious to them in turn.

I hardly ever watch TV anymore. We follow a few really good shows, and almost always get the episodes online.

The TV mostly gets used for morning cartoons, but I'm thinking there are better options for getting those as well. Really, if I'm watching Bugs Bunny with my little girl, I don't need a lot of commercials aimed at 40-something stay-at-home moms. Cosmetics, diet clinics, exercise machines, acne treatments, epilators and other such things shouldn't be advertised repeatedly on shows that impressionable kids are watching. And these are the cheap, sleazy commercials, full of all kinds of questionable claims and wrongheaded messages. And then the cartoons are a weird mix of the censored versions, with many of the funny parts sloppily hacked out, and some that probably shouldn't be shown, because of jokes involving things like suicide. We're spared seeing an old lady hit Daffy with an umbrella, even if the scene no longer makes sense, but it's OK to show us a bird as he comically whips out a big revolver, puts it to his temple and squeezes.

Half the time, I end up pulling up the same cartoons on YouTube anyway, so we can watch them intact. Might as well just get them there in the first place.

Yeah, pretty much anything on mainstream TV.
I know enough from what's in the paper to get the jokes about it all, but after that...

There is a list

First upp... there are the obvious ones

- Jery Springer
- the Muray show
- Jersey shore (Gave spider man cancer)
- The bachelor
- The bachelorette
- Pimp my ride ... (hot tubs and bowling alleys in cars, and they never think about what happens when you break suddenly...)
- I'm a celebrity get me out off here
- who wants to marry a million air
- The Hills (Gave spider man cancer)
- Gossip Girl
- Big Brother

... And it keeps going...
 
- Australian idol
- The X Factor
- Cheaters (weridos and their phycho host, following people with cameras and then somehow get away with calling them naughty and twisted)
- Bold and the beautiful
- Australias next top model (The host is up herself stupid and cruel ... I can not stand her) 
- my super sweet sixteen (Rich brats... Good one MTV)
- 16 and pregant (Once again... Really, Good Job MTV)
- Being Lara Bingle (A Reality show in Australia... It rotts your brain cells and gives spider man cancer)
- Tyra Banks show ... Which I did not mind till I saw this ...

Putting down a guest on her show who had no choice but to choose prostitution while pregant and with mounting debt, Not the best choice I grant you that. But she is there crying saying it was her only choice, family and the so called father would not support her... After seeing the way she treated this woman who was obviously not happy with this either. I really do not like Tyra banks now... "Why don't you get a real job?" Obviously she calls this her last resource for a reason.

And it keeps getting worse... The Jerk of an ex boyfriend who said it was not his baby now suddenly cares about the well fare off the child, now she is working in a brothel, Will he help her now you think?. Tyra still does not see the hypocracy and agrees with him. Also backs up her family who continues the bashing...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pw5jUnaQuJQ

No need to encourage her job Tyra... Obvious not, just understand what last resort means, and that someone crying about it, means no need to bash her more. And know that not everyone can be rich and famous super models. And since becoming one, there has been a financial down fall, people loosing jobs and struggling and such. So no, you do not know everything about the hard life even though you say you came from a hard life off not being rich and famous ... And do not for god sake stand up for the ex boyfriend and family... I seriously think Tyra is so stupid in a brain injury way after this. This eposoide just may give spiderman cancer.
