Anyone else hate a programme that their DP LOVES? Complain about it here!

Obviously DH & I don't love all the same tv programmes, but one that he loves and I really despise is Blue Bloods. I can't really be bothered to go anywhere when it's on, so I'm stuck on the sofa reading and trying to ignore it.

I'm sure it's a perfectly good show, but I hate it, and since DH no longer listens to my complaints about it, I'll put them here:

The entire family being great salt-of-the-earth cops. All just too good.

Tom Selleck's character and his constant moral high ground.

The stupid trite family dinner with the grandad and his stupid twee speeches. As if anyone ever does that.

Anyone else need to complain about the crap their DP subjects them to watches?

Top gear and match of the day. I'm bloody sick of channels showing top gear repeats, he can always find it.

Oh and flea bag, not funny

Pianobook · 12/04/2019 07:16

Omg Another one for Pawn Stars and Wheeler Dealers for exh. I hated it. When I met a new bloke, he came round and put Wheeler Dealers on when I left the room and I couldn’t believe it. Didn’t last.

Football. I find it boring. So I get interrupted to ”come and see this! Look at him cross that and... YES! Go on my son! One-Nil, One-Nil, One-Niiiiiiiillllll”

If I wanted to see it, I would be sitting there watching it. Not in the other room doing something else.

I don't know the players, don't know the teams, don't follow the league, championship whatever. No interest if this is a Big match or just a match. It does not interest me nor does it matter to me one iota.

I don't drag him over to watch a tutorial on my hobby, as I know it wouldn't have the same interest for him that it does for me! Hmm

MrsBertBibby · 12/04/2019 07:31

He has finally come to agree that The Last Leg is puerile wank, but it took a while.

My ex used to wallow in bed fawning over Tim bloody Lovejoy on Soccer a fucking m. Christ.

fantasmasgoria1 · 12/04/2019 07:31

Bloody car programmes, how its made and the most hated of all the inbetweeners!

30not13 · 12/04/2019 07:34

Redneck shite. So basically anything everything on Blaze.

Japonicaflower2 · 12/04/2019 07:48

Bloody Heartbeat, Emmerdale and never-ending programmes about Customs officers 😡😡😡
All repeats , all utter crap!

CharDeeMacDennis · 12/04/2019 07:57

Top Gear and Grand Tour, ugh, smug horrible twats twatting on about cars as if it matters.

Tonight with John Oliver. Now, I adore Community and didn't mind him in that, but on his own show I find him just unbearable. Even when he's saying something I agree with, he's just so loud and smug about it, all I hear is "LOOK AT ME, LISTEN TO ME, AREN'T I CLEVER!"

Flipside, I've got drawn into Classic Coronation Street and he ribs me about that. But I don't think he hates it, I've caught him laughing at it quite a bit Grin

You're doing golf all wrong, people. Don't think of it as a TV show or entertainment, think of it as an ASMR sleep meditation, or a travel show in a foreign language.

Ignore the actual words and the twats in pink trousers. Let the gentle thwack and polite applause wash over you, and the lovely cutaway shots of glorious shrubs in bloom will cleanse your soul.

ChristinaMarlowe · 12/04/2019 08:08

I think wrestling wins. Makes me appreciate the monotony of the football hours now!

Masai71 · 12/04/2019 08:19

Yes the formula 1 shite.

Oh God I have to leave the house

RickOShay · 12/04/2019 08:20

Nobody’s dh watches Hardcore Pawn? It is the saddest thing on tv, desperate people with no money or hope, it is so depressing. Dh relishes it. I have now banned it, I just can’t take it any more.
I also WILL NOT watch Hot Tuna or Swamp people, and the car one with the Count, any police camera ones and Can’t Pay, we will Take it away.
I will tolerate Pawn Stars, mainly cause i quite fancy Rick and Storage Wars.
He also watches huge amounts of American cliched toe curlingly shite films.
He is in the gutter when it comes to tv.

ExpletiveDelighted · 12/04/2019 08:28

Flash/Arrow/Supergirl - DD and DH love all these, I can't stand them.

Game of Thrones - every time I walk into the room and its on someone is lopping someone else's head off.

Big Bang Theory - total cringe.

The Last Leg - although like a PP, my DH has now realised that it's blokey wank.

Worst of all is Eurovision but at least its only once a year.

I like Sky Sports News, football, Still Game though.

twattymctwatterson · 12/04/2019 08:33

My Little Pony oh my god is he a Brony? (Don't google it)

HotChocolateLover · 12/04/2019 08:44

Game of Thrones. Yawn.

NorthernRunner · 12/04/2019 08:48

Bojack Horseman and I am Alan Partridge 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

The football doesn’t bother me at all, I quite like it, to a point. Can’t stand boxing though, makes me wince.

CalamityJune · 12/04/2019 08:49

Anything with gravelly voiced men wandering around with swords/ guns/ lightsabres. Always trying to avenge a dead father/ live up to dead father's reputation. Women are ice maiden queens/ kick ass princesses with amazing eyeliner.

All his PS4 games follow this formula too.

Mrsjayy · 12/04/2019 08:56

I don't mind hardcore pawn but there is a guy in Pawn stars that gives me the creeps on later series he got newteeth and looks even creepier I need to leave the room if dh is watching it,

ComeOnGordon · 12/04/2019 09:06

How I met your mother Angry

I didn’t care after one episode never mind after how many series.

Been separated over a year and it still triggers me if i see it by accident on the tv

NorthernRunner · 12/04/2019 09:07

comeongordon- it has a shit ending as well!

ComeOnGordon · 12/04/2019 09:29

@NorthernRunner - glad I sacked it off after the first episode!! I couldn’t have cared less about how he met the fucking mother

TantrumsAndBalloons · 12/04/2019 10:09

How’s it made or whatever it’s called
An hour long episode showing how pens or drawing pins or other random shit is made
I have to leave the room, it’s the most boring thing I have ever seen but he loves it

TOADfan · 12/04/2019 12:21

I'm lucky me and DH like the same programs I can't think of any he watches or I watch that the other doesn't like. smug

itsinthetriforium · 12/04/2019 12:28

DH loves any sci fi, no matter how crap. He recently watched all of Star Trek Voyager / Next Generation which took about 4 months to get through. Now it’s Marvel Agents of Shield. But our TV is not in the main sitting room, so it doesn’t affect me. I don’t make him watch my period dramas (War and Peace is boring apparently).
