And why

I will start

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

Made in Chelsea, the only way is Essex.my best friend loves these and I have endured a couple of episodes, she was v offended by my dislike of it.

I loved friends back in the day but it has really not stood the test of time (and actually lots of it makes me do this face Hmm ). See also :Bridget Jones diary.

Mrs Brown's boys makes me weep for living in northern Ireland and thinking this is how we are represented and this is what we think is funny.see everything else from northern Ireland too (except ferry girls which i surprisingly enjoyed).

Miranda.
Lost.far too much to remember.and the ending was disappointing.

Britain's got talent. Boring . Same old thing year after year.

desperatelyseekingcaffeine · 18/02/2018 09:57

The undateables - just horrible to watch. Felt like they were just mocking disabled people's difficulties in dating. Switched off very quickly.

Agree miranda is awful though most of my closest friends love it.

I forgot about Loose Women!

It may have changed now but they used to insist on such serious discussion topics which were then totally beyond most of the presenters.

Pulling stupid faces to camera if the conversation got even slightly interesting (intelligent) and I will never forget Coleen Nolan attempting to get her head around the concept of unwanted male attention and cat calling.

‘But, but I LIKE compliments’!! 😒

NeepNeepNeep · 18/02/2018 11:27

@ScreamingValenta Thanks!

QuackPorridgeBacon · 18/02/2018 12:02

YouTheCat I slightly agree about eastenders. But, it was better than it is now and I’m too invested to stop now. The camera angles and script have gotten more shit now and the stupid sounds and silence and seeing a ghost fs. I do record them and binge watch them every few weeks.

Raffles1981 · 18/02/2018 12:10

McMafia. Stuck with it because once I start something... I think the mix of mafia and subtitles, the BBC maybe thought it would make it interesting but nothing actually happened. Ex on the beach. I was heavily pregnant and bored.

JustHereForThePooStories · 18/02/2018 12:16

Doctor Foster.

I watched all of the first series and felt like throwing something at her head. Inane character who just didn’t act rationally. The whole thing could have been tied-up in one hour had she gone with the age-old MN advise of getting her ducks in a row, and LTB.

BBTHREE76 · 18/02/2018 12:22

Naked Attraction - friend texted and told me what channel to flick over to as she couldn’t believe her eyes, I flicked over and neither could I. 😳.
Just tattoo of us - I have a few tattoos but all chosen by me and have sentimental reasons etc. On this they seem bear pit couples to tattoo the most hideous thing you can think of in their real life partner then “reveal” it. The one I saw had a pile of poo tattooed on them. ☹️

FireCrotch · 18/02/2018 12:46

I love The Undateables. They aren't mocking anyone. It's the sweetest and most sincere programme channel 4 make. I love it when they revisit past daters. I absolutely adore poet Justin (He reminds me of Mr tumble). I do hope he finds somebody to love as I heard that despite the latest update he has split from his girlfriend. I can never watch an episode without having a little blub.

SchoolMoney · 18/02/2018 13:20

Breaking bad. I really tried to get into it since everyone said it was the best thing EVER!!!
Nope.

Goldenbug · 18/02/2018 13:23

On The Buses.
The Kardashian thing.
Naked Jungle. (Although credit to Keith Chegwin for really going for it. Showed he had balls.)
The Office.

And head and shoulder above all else, The Black And White Minstrel Show.

KatsutheClockworkOctopus · 18/02/2018 13:32

Heir Hunters. So depressing. After a week of that on mat leave I was rocking in a corner muttering "I don't want to die alone"

SusanneLinder · 18/02/2018 13:33

Love Island....watched it once.Total crap.
Red Dwarf....awful
Friends...just no.
Peaky Blinders....tried to watch it...gave up.
Any soap.
The One Show...whats the point?
I admit to having watched Towie..mostly to laugh at how awful they are. Grin

SusanneLinder · 18/02/2018 13:38

Oh and that "say yes to the dress"Hmm
DD watched it when she was planning her wedding. I just got annoyed when brides were basically told "we will struggle to find something as you have a small budget of $3000.😨.WTAF.
And that other thing where the groom has to plan the wedding. So staged.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 18/02/2018 13:43

Friends

And as fo who randomly adds in to conversation it’s like Joey (or another Friends character) did blah blah Angry ConfusedHmm Hmm

It’s so bland and the script is so obvious

romany4 · 18/02/2018 14:02

As a child. The Haunting of Cassie Palmer. Scared the crap out of me.

Now, Parks and Recreation. I lasted 10 minutes of the first episode before I switched off. Utter shit.
Oh and Impractical jokers. Ds loves it. I absolutely hate it

romany4 · 18/02/2018 14:06

CigarsofthePharoahs

I loved Rome. James Purefoy and Kevin Mckidd were brilliant in it!

DratThatCat · 18/02/2018 14:21

Impractial jokers. Just a load of immature men acting like tits in front of the unsuspecting public.

Flowersin · 18/02/2018 14:25

Naked Jungle. Keith chegwin running around with his todger out was too much for me.

moonmaker · 18/02/2018 14:27

I hate loose women. They seem to follow a predictable script and don't have any intelligent or engaging discussions. How have they got it so wrong ? There's no thinking outside the box at all. I really don't get it .

MrsJayy · 18/02/2018 14:30

The valleys itwas a welsh Geordie shore with more sex it was repulsive AND depressing I feel the same about most sex on telly programmes these young people think fame is the be all...

MrsJayy · 18/02/2018 14:33

Yy impractical jokers I don't gettit and find it cruel. Btw i watched 1 episode of the valleys that was enough for me to tut &judge and bleach my eyes

Winteriscoming18 · 18/02/2018 14:35

The secret life of an American teenager awful storylines and underage teeenage sex

2018Already · 18/02/2018 14:46

Agree re: Doctor Foster, it was completely unbelievable and OTT.

I don’t understand how people can dislike Red Dwarf but i guess it takes all sorts!
