I will start

Len Goodman partners in rhyme - how that show has plus 1 series is beyond me.

Take me out.

Dreadful, awful tv.

Soaps - all of them.

Mrs Brown's Boys. At least the worst of the current offerings. The worst of the Seventies with more foul language and a gay character to make fun of.

Chocolatesaveslives · 18/02/2018 07:08

Miranda - not even remotely funny.
Big brother - how the non celeb one is still going is beyond me.

Snugglepiggy · 18/02/2018 08:07

Food Unwrapped.Glad someone else mentioned it.The presenter Kate Quilton -looked her up she annoys me so much to see what her qualifications, if any, with her 'I'm so quirky' baby doll dresses and the hair.Sets my teeth on edge.

And agree Noel Edmonds latest Cheap cheap cheap. No idea when it's on,think I saw it in the daytime when sick just once.Unbelievably bad.
Loose women.Know a couple of people who make pilgrimages to be in the studio audience ,but really ?

Swans Crossing

Pretty much anything on ITV. I also judge people who watch Miranda (saw 5 minutes of one episode after a woman at work kept going on about how funny it was. During the episode I saw that apparently it was funny to date a black man and then she fell over - I was like WTF and dived for the remote control). Mrs Browns Boys is also shite.

Although it had its moments, Friends was extremely overrated.

All British soaps are depressing and shit and encourage their viewers to have low aspirations.

This Morning and Loose Women are depressing.

JustDanceAddict · 18/02/2018 08:17

Mrs Browns Boys.
The biggest dross ever / take it back to the 70s where it belongs.

I like Miranda though, it just tickes me, and it has the divine Tom Ellis!

WilburIsSomePig · 18/02/2018 08:22

All the British soaps. Fucking awful.

punkpuffin · 18/02/2018 08:29

I agree mrs browns boys is shocking!!

hmmwhatatodo · 18/02/2018 08:32

Yes, red dwarf and robot wars. Yawn yawn yawn.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 18/02/2018 08:35

I think the ones I was going to say have already been mentioned -
Mrs Brown's Boys
This Morning
Loose Women
Any soap esp the depressing Eastenders
Jeremy Kyle obviously (who watched that crap?!)

KenDoddsDadsDog · 18/02/2018 08:37

Loose Women. Pap, total pap.
Martin Lewis Money. Shit tv just to make him more .
McMafia , stuck with it for longer than usual just for James Norton
Mrs Brown’s Boys , whatever you think of it isn’t British though.

chickychickyparmparm · 18/02/2018 08:40

Friends. It's AWFUL. Just awful.

Actually, most American comedies - with the exception of Seinfeld, that is glorious.

Reality shows that follow vacant people around.

chickychickyparmparm · 18/02/2018 08:42

I kinda want to watch Mrs Brown's Boys now to see what the fuss is about!

XmasInTintagel · 18/02/2018 08:44

Friends. I never got how it was meant to be funny.
Try turning the sound off - they're all very lovely to look at, you don't need to know what they're saying Grin. I think it was partly so popular because it was aspirational, people didn't so much like them, as want to BE them.
I do wonder whether some of the scenes would ever be made if they turned up now in a script - I'm thinking especially of the one where they make a long stick, and use it to poke a man in the apartment opposite, to see if he's dead, and then go on poking him anyway, once its clear he isn't. Its all (apparently) hilarious, because he's overweight and naked (and in his own apartment...).

XmasInTintagel · 18/02/2018 08:48

Take me out. Dreadful, awful tv.
This gets my vote, its very close to a cattle market, just hate the idea of so many people get all dressed up to stand and hope to be picked by one.
It like Blind Date made worse!

Tomorrowillbeachicken · 18/02/2018 08:53

Dance moms.

TossDaily · 18/02/2018 08:59

On The Buses. Two of the most repulsive men in the world are inexplicably attractive to women.

The West Wing. Sentimental horseshit.

QI when Stephen 'Fucking' Fry was presenting it. A bunch of menchildren giggling about willies.

Boardwalk Empire. Or, as I called it, Boredwife Empire.

displacementofwater · 18/02/2018 09:04

Mrs Brown's Boys. Interesting it's so popular but lots of comments here hating it.

The Len Goodman show and that wedding one with Lorraine Kelly were just awful. BBC1 seem to think we want to watch utter tripe on an early Saturday evening. There was a stupid game show late last year with people being hurtled though the air. None of these shows are entertaining.

ForestFrump · 18/02/2018 09:09

Take me out!!
Naked Attraction.
Tattoo Fixers
The One Show
Jeremy Kyle

maggienolia · 18/02/2018 09:29

Red Dwarf was great until Rimmer left. After that it lost it's way a bit.
Definitely hated the Len Goodman shite fest.
Never got into Mrs Brown's boys, also my 600lb life, with the most discouraging doctor on the planet.

sashh · 18/02/2018 09:34

I remember only having 3 channels so you were almost forced to watch the least bad, or the thing your parents wanted.

Some mothers do av 'em - not funny, not clever, no idea if anyone actually liked it.
Sorry - just as bad.
Miranda - modern unfunny version of the above.

RoboticSealpup · 18/02/2018 09:43

Entourage. It's like some basic guy's sexist fantasy about a glamorous life as a celebrity, hanging with his best buds all day and getting hot babes on tap. [Puke] It's like Sex and the City for dudes but ten times more basic.

Sex and the city is also shit. I've actually heard someone say "I'm such a Carrie" while shoe shopping. Oh, so you're a shallow, self-obsessed overgrown teenager?

Pathetic.
