I realised I have a few...

Queer Eye - I loved it so much, me and DS watched every one religiously and I loved all of the cast. I watched it again recently and no idea how I sat through it, they're all so condescending and JVN is so irritiating.

6 Music - I listened to it all the time, I can't get passed Nick Grimshaw now, think he's totally wrong for it, even though I love him in other things.

The rest is Entertainment - I loved it at first but I just find them both so annoying and also some of what they talk about isn't even correct, which annoys me more.

Ha - think that's it. Anyone else...

The kardashians(I'm embarrassed)
Radio 1 in the afternoons with Jamie laing - why do they need three hosts 🙄

I do miss grimmy, would listen to him on radio 6 if I could grow up enough to ditch Greg James

Friends.

'How I met your Mother' I loved watching it the first time around. Decided to give it another go recently, and it was awful.

How I met your mother has aged very badly.

Loved the first series of Ted Lasso but by the second some of the characters/story lines became just too irritating to watch.

24 hours in A&E

24 hours in A&E

The trouble with that is they are ancient episodes and have been repeated umpteen times. I’d like to see some new ones!

Masterchef for obvious buttery biscuit base reasons

Radio 1.

I used to listen all the time, in the evenings as well as daytime, had favourite DJs, went to the roadshows etc. Then as I got older, I started realising that the pop industry just recycled the same old thing for new generations of listeners and started to find the DJs’ enthusiasms for this week’s boy band or Indie band insincere & fake. Yes, Jo Whiley, I do mean you.

It’s called growing up, obviously, and now I can’t bear music radio. It’s R4 all the way for me.

Big Brother for me! I was a huge fan when it was first released but can’t stand it nowdays.

It was a novelty when it first started. Now it is just full of people wanting to get famous for fuck all.
I remember when one winner took the money and went back to her normal life.
I think the clincher for me was when my sister was too tired for school as she was up all night watching people sleeping on the BB cam.

StMarie4me · 10/07/2025 19:35

Morse. Cant explain it but I loved it and now I cannot watch or read it.

INeedAnotherAlibi · 10/07/2025 19:38

Friends. I loved it. Started watching right from season 1 when hardly anyone even knew about it! Watched it frequently, repeats on E4. Tried to watch it recently after splitting from XH and couldn’t get past season 2 because of how Ross treated Rachel. Also how everyone else gaslit Rachel and told her Ross was a great guy. Ugh.

I love it when I watch clips of Friends but I can't sit through a whole epside anymore.

Tried to rewatch Gilmore Girls recently, fringed myself inside out and gave up very early on.

Used to love serial killer documentaries when I was younger but don’t have the appetite for them anymore, and they seem to just keep remaking the heavy hitters all over again anyway. Although that might be because there are fewer serial killers around, which is obviously a very good thing!

Negroany · 10/07/2025 19:44

Only Fools and Horses. But, to be fair, I guess that sort of puerile humour is for kids anyway, so I just grew out of it.

SunflowerLife · 10/07/2025 19:45

Love Island, Eastenders, Coronation Street. I got bored of Love Island as it's on nearly every day for many weeks and takes too much investment. And I haven't got time to keep up with boring soaps.

Monvelo · 10/07/2025 19:46

All medical dramas. I loved casualty, Holby city, house, greys anatomy etc. I know too many people with actual health issues or who have died plus can't watch things about kids :(

Rosesonroses · 10/07/2025 19:47

All the typical E4 shows - friends, how I met your mother, big bang theory. Loved them years ago but can’t watch any of them now, they’re just not funny

ClaudiaNaughton · 10/07/2025 19:49

Strictly so loud and noisy now

What do they get wrong on TRIE?
