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

[BelfastSmile]

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?

Walking Dead.
He has a list of shows on Netflix that make him look like a murdering psychopath. Death, drugs, killing etc all the time. I just go to bed and remind him occasionally he's missing out on sex.

Doctor Who - badly written kids programme

Vera - if you are going to set a programme in the northeast, why not cast an actor from that region who has the required accent naturally?

Any 2 hr long Sunday evening drama, I just get bored.

@Twolipstulips I agree about Vera, we watch it together to moan at the accents, how they show the NE as being full of decrepit housing and the frequent time travelling around the NE.

Forged in Fire. Sigh. When I've seen one homemade sword, I've seen them all.

I offered to get DH onto day experiences or courses to try his hand at forge nerd stuff. Then I could have pretended it's his hobby and refer to it vaguely on MN and that would have been fine. But no. He just wants to watch other people do it.

Star Trek.

I thought it was academic

Endless, endless news, with the interminable effing B word. Most of the day, radio or TV, somewhere in the house.

Still, I'm so grateful that he's never been into football. I can put up with the occasional Six Nations rugby, but f*cking football, week after week after week - 😱 - would drive me to divorce.
Or at least separate houses.

Only fools and horses - it was good but he has watched every episode 50 times so how he can still be entertained by it I don’t know 🤔
The one where grown men are looking for big foot in a forest even our 11 year old says ‘dad you know there’s no such thing right?’
He hates everything I watch too

Star Trek

‘Which one’s Kirk?’
‘No this one is a prequel/parallel universe/sequel/spin-off there is no Kirk, that’s not Spock blah blah’

Actually I don’t care, I was just pretending to be interested.

It's a video rather than a TV programme, but every day my DH watches YouTube videos about cars by a guy called Shmee, who I irrationally want to thump. Every day this happy voice goes "Hi guys, I'm Shmee!" to which I respond FUCK OFF! (not in the front of the children, naturally )

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

Oh Tantrums I love this! It’s made me want to close MN and put the TV on

Mine says he loves F1 then sleeps through it!!

Top Gear. Shoot me now. Please.

So many. Top Gear. Peep Show. Grand Tour. Great British Canal Journeys. He streams them on his phone so they follow him round the house. I used to know he was doing a poo because I could hear Jeremy Clarkson in my bathroom.

Drives me bonkers.

The Punisher and Future Man. I can't stand either!

Car sos and the t'other one with Ed China in it. I reckon I could build a 1979 triumph dolomite in my sleep now.

Sausage
He has the Triumph dolomite Haynes manual occupying valuable bookshelf space if you want it..... It might be useful you know ( even though the car went nearly 40 years ago )

@78percentLindt thank you for your kind offer but it'll just sit next to the other two he has already has. And an actual dolomite

Horrible American comedy shows which are JUST NOT funny!

Test cricket. Nothing happens. Literally nothing happens. I like a lot of sport, but I can't get my head around how you can play a game for five full days and it ends in a draw.

Coronation street, Eastenders, Emmerdale....can't bloody stand any of them so xmas day was always a nightmare.

Sons of Anarchy (he’s an aging ex biker). The plot and character development is actually okay (and Jax is very easy on the eye when you forget he’s that little lad from Bykker).

But the level of violence is just horrid, I really can’t get my head round it.

Oh I love How It's Made but so very pleased that Wheeler fecking Dealers is hated on here, I can't stand it either.

Mrs Fucking Brown.
And another one for that programme with all those people who live miles from anywhere in Alaska and have to feed the sled dogs, and mend the snow bike and chop the wood and avoid the bears..... every sodding week. Plus it always makes me feel cold..

Constant reruns of Lovejoy and Pie in the Sky.

Fly on the wall crap with bailiffs, traffic police, customs officers, people who want to move house and endless sodding current affairs.
