What is the worst programme on TV?

I am off work at the moment and have seen some daytime TV.

I hereby declare that Loose Women is the most unwatchable drivel I've ever tried to endure, ever ever! I can tolerate Naked Attraction and Love Island so have a high pain threshold. But Loose Women - just NO!!!

Which TV programme makes you want to switch off in a hurry?

Coronation Street. Dire.

BearSoFair · 24/01/2020 13:16

I came to say Loose Women too!

InOtterNews · 24/01/2020 13:19

Everything on ITV in the mornings, This Morning, Lorraine, Loose Women, GMB all of them. If I have a day off mid-week daytime TV usually makes me get up rather than watch (or at least watching something else on Netflix if I'm ill)

Interested in this thread?

Mrs Brown's Boys - terrible show!

AgentProvocateur · 24/01/2020 13:21

Any daytime TV. I watched it when I was off sick once. It’s the equivalent of reading take a break.

MotherHeggy · 24/01/2020 13:23

Daytime tv
Love Island
Big Brother
Come Dancing
Any ''celebrity'' versions of the above
Coronation Street
Eastenders

EcocabbyRickShaw · 24/01/2020 13:23

eenymeeny I second Mrs Brown's Boys. Initially I thought it was totally hilarious but only because Mrs Brown looks and sounds exactly like my Irish mother in law.

But that lasted about 10 minutes and now I could cheerfully punch the whole cast

InOtterNews · 24/01/2020 13:39

I forgot about Mrs Brown's Boys - it actually makes me rage a little. I know comedy is subjective but I don't understand why people like it

mamabear2409 · 24/01/2020 13:40

Love island! Absolutely vile Envy

Luckystar777 · 24/01/2020 13:44

Brooklyn Nine-Nine

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 24/01/2020 13:45

All the above:
Browns Boys
Emmerdale/Corrie
Love Island
Strictly

All horrendous. And I like my fair share of crappy tv, but these are just awful.

NationMcKinley · 24/01/2020 13:46

All Day time TV
Love Island
Anything like Made in Chelsea, Kardashians, Real Housewives etc etc
Mrs Brown’s Boys (WTaF is that all about?? SO odd)
Eastenders
Hollyoaks
Peppa Pig

Foghead · 24/01/2020 13:46

Surely it has to be Naked Attraction. Bleurgh.

Luckymama2014 · 24/01/2020 13:47

Luckystar777 i cant believe i have read this! Brooklyn Nine-Nine is one of my favourite shows ever!

megletthesecond · 24/01/2020 13:48

Mrs Brown's Boys.
I did try to watch it once but it was terrible.

gingerchaos · 24/01/2020 13:52

Anything with Keith Lemon
The Simpsons
Soap operas

potter5 · 24/01/2020 13:54

All talent shows
All soaps
All reality TV shows
That new one with the masks (absolute shite)

FordPrefect42 · 24/01/2020 13:56

Love Island, any reality TV like Big Brother/TOWIE/Kardashians/Made in Chelsea
EastEnders
The X-Factor/BGT
Anything on POP (infantile and far from educational)
Jeremy Kyle (thank goodness it finished!)
Some of the BBC comedies are naff/poor taste too like People Just Do Nothing

Ikeasucks · 24/01/2020 13:57

Mrs Brown’s Boys is pants.
Used to love Loose Women at the start - pants now
Thank fuck Jeremy Vile has gone
The One Show - what’s its purpose- dull

PenguinsOnParade · 24/01/2020 13:58

I lasted about 30 seconds into Fleabag before I turned it off. Something about it just irritated me.

Same for Suits and The Office.

Absolutely anything where practical jokes are played on unsuspecting members of the public "for laughs."

Smartanimal · 24/01/2020 13:59

Gogglebox (it’s for idiots)
Mrs. Brown’s boys (as above) btw I hope some executive from TV is reading this and takes it off air for good. Nobody likes it!
Any soap (dreadful)
Strictly come dancing or any dancing shows
Love Island or any reality tv that’s full of hot young things with naked torsos or in bikinis.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 24/01/2020 14:00

My mum loves Mrs Browns Boys.

She genuinely thinks it hysterical and I have no idea why. She's otherwise quite normal!

Ikeasucks · 24/01/2020 14:00

Naked Attraction has grown on me after my initial WTF!

Love First Dates - usually don’t do reality stuff but it’s really sweet

Reginabambina · 24/01/2020 14:00

I came on here to say love island. I ended up watching about five minutes of it recently (my first time). It was incredibly depressing.

NecklessMumster · 24/01/2020 14:02

Mrs Brown's boys. It's like the 1970s.
