Aside from the obvious shows I could mention, one that really gets on my nerves is VH1's wealth-envy show, "The Fabulous Life of...", complete with its  faux Robin Leach announcer.  I like what's on a lot of VH1, surprisingly to myself and others, but I just want to scream sometimes, when I look through the listings on certain days, and it's "The Fabulous Life of..." all over the place!  Now they have this "The Fabulous Life presents..." garbage, which cuts into all my other favorite programs. 
Which is pretty much why I don't watch a lot of television.  My wife's channel surfing atrocities are the stuff of legend, though.  She'll just have the TV on and flip back and forth between MTV, VH1, E! and Bravo.  So an average, aimless night of television goes like this:

Worthless rich teenagers throw extravagant parties/Sad, pathetic Real World alumni battle/have sex/argue with each other for cash and prizes

to

Aren't extraordinarily rich, vapid actors and actresses so much better than you?

to

Extraordinarily rich, vapid actors and actresses ARE better than you and here's all the stuff they have that you can't have in your wildest dreams/Their latest trainwreck, scandal ridden lives

to

Kathy Griffin stand-up special marathon/Kathy Griffin reality show marathon

It drives me nuts.  I find most television is completely worthless and reinforces all the wrong values.  Network television is creatively brankrupt with nothing but the latest CSI knock off or Hospital drama.  There are a few exceptions, but most television is just awful.
That really makes me feel better about being single :teddyr:

Since Fox cancelled MadTV and King of the Hill(to make room for yet another Seth MacFarland series..*uck you Seth and *uck you FOX),I have absolutely no interest in network TV.

reality progs really have had their day; and that includes so-called talent shows like "X Factor" and "Britain's Got Talent" et al.

That said I really don't watch much TV these days; too many channels showing too many repeats of spinoffs or cheap imports. The BBC still broadcasts a few golden nuggets, as does the History and Discovery channels, but by and large TV is a bucketful of dogt*rds.

The TV I hate with a passion tends to be soap operas. Especially Dallas, Dynasty, Coranation Street, Eastenders, Crossroads, Emerdale Farm, Neighbours, Home & Away, Brookside & Hollyoaks.

I never saw the point in soaps either - most of them imitate real-life rather something more entertaining and escapist. But clearly I am in the minority.

Firefly.  God how I hate that show now.

I tried to watch it and couldn't.. I am the biggest SF fan you'll ever meet and I could stand a single ep of that ghawd awful mess.

I didn't care when it got canned,  but then it's fan started their apparently eternal whining.

''Waaah! Waaah!  Best series in all history!  Waaah!  Waaah!  Didn't get a fair chance!  Waaah!  Waaah!  Showed the eps out of order!  Waaah!  Waaah!  Only one season!  Waaah!. Waaah!  Big gubmint conspiracy to kill it because it endorsed libertarian values!  Waaah!  Waaah! ''

I swear these people don't eat or sleep or mow the lawn,  they just whine about firefly all day long!

I hate that show,  but most of all I hate it's fans.

I have to agree there- reality shows are the LCD. Things that have midgets running around like they're on the REAL HOUSEWIVES of whatever and JERSEY SNORE are the modern day sideshow freaks, but without the class.

So you hate christians, you hate people who vote right wing and you hate Firefly fans. Anyone you do actually like?

Out of curiosity, why do you hate Firefly?

I've never seen it, but I've never heard anything bad about it.  Just wanting to know what you think.

Try to understand something:I didn't lime firefly,  not a fan of the western in space genre. But I didn't hate it for a. While.. What I hate are the fans who. Never shut up about it and constantly try to. Link it to successful shows.  I mean there were shows I liked that got canceled after one season but I don't go on about them forever.
