University Challenge
Breaking Bad

I love Frasier although imo Niles is the star he is hilarious.

MrsDoyleFallingOutTheWindow · 04/11/2017 17:48

What are Father ted and Frasier doing on here? Get in the fucking sea.

PetalStretch · 04/11/2017 17:51

Only Fools and Horses - another vote for that, for sure.

Goggle Box. I'd rather paint my toenails.

Anything by J K Rowling, literally anything.

ANY cookery show, including bake-off, Nigella Lawson, and so on.
I watched her poach an egg the other day and stick some yoghourt and chilli condiment on it. Hey presto! A pile of bourgois shite for the masses!

The One Show.

PetalStretch · 04/11/2017 17:56

To be fair, The One Show is pretty harmless. Just not my Brew

MrsDoyleFallingOutTheWindow · 04/11/2017 18:01

I disagree. The One Show is carcinogenic.

MrsJayy · 04/11/2017 18:02

Nigella was on today eating chocolate brownies in her silky robe WTF is that about just cook the bloody thing

Steaksauce · 04/11/2017 18:03

Most have already been mentioned
Mrs Browns Boys - AWFUL
The Big Bang Theory - just seems to be an entire program poking fun at a bloke for having aspergers or similar.
Poking fun at another guy for being from India, the other for being Jewish and the woman for being a blonde waitress. Confused hilarious...
2 Broke Girls - unfunny shite
Impractical Jokers - nothing jokey about it.
Game of Thrones - tits and dragons. Dull
X factor
The walking dead
Breaking bad
Lost
Star Trek and sci fi things

God there’s LOADS.

TaylorTinker · 04/11/2017 18:09

And back from the grave is Red Dwarf..

BackInTheRoom · 04/11/2017 19:00

'Celebrity Juice. It's an absolute pile of shit.'

So true, so unfunny, jeuvenile in fact.

CoolCarrie · 04/11/2017 19:10

Friends
Downtown Abbey
All those stupid scripted reality shows
House Of Cards

annandale · 04/11/2017 19:11

All soaps, including 80s ones like Dallas, but especially the time sucking British ones. Moral degradation, mental retardation and national destruction in half hour/one hour bites. I once lived in a small flat with a woman who watched them ALL every week. I have never voluntarily watched a minute of any of them since - liberation.

TuckFrump · 04/11/2017 19:12

Gavin and Stacy.

It isn't terrible in the same way as Mrs Brown's Boys, but it is sooo overrated. Mediocre acting (apart from Alison Steadman) and the same lame jokes over and over.

CoolCarrie · 04/11/2017 19:12

Frasier on the other hand is bloody brilliant!

Littlewhistle · 04/11/2017 19:56

Mrs Brown's Boys
The Office

Any reality shows that are supposed to show "musical" talent

Thegirlinthefireplace · 04/11/2017 20:11

Another vote for Bake Off. For me, baking not a spectator sport.

Also GoT

OpenThePickles · 04/11/2017 20:17

Prison Break

I was soooo excited to watch this....2 episodes I managed - it was nothing like I exected and I don't understand they hype.

TheHuntingOfTheSarky · 04/11/2017 20:18

Twin Peaks. Everyone claims it's so cerebral but actually it was just twice as long as it needed to be and made want to fall instantly asleep.

Never watched Big Bang or X Factor or any of those other things but I must speak up for Father Ted, which is genius.

Bluelonerose · 04/11/2017 20:20

X factor. It's boring when they can sing.
Game of thrones. Not interested. (Seems a lot like Lord of the rings which was boring)
Celebrity juice. Keith lemon just makes me Angry

FritataPatate · 04/11/2017 20:21

Big Bang Theory! Full of tired stereotypes.

hellokittymania · 04/11/2017 20:21

I really don't like the X factor and all of those other singing solos. My mother loves them, and if a child is on or someone really really different, then I will watch, but otherwise, I'm just not interested. In age that they do the voice kids in Vietnam, Thailand and Korea and I do like some of those. I like the Italian one as well that is done every year zecchino d'oro

RainbowPastel · 04/11/2017 20:29

Friends
Breaking Bad
Sex in the city

PunkrockerGirl59 · 04/11/2017 20:30

Game of Thrones - utter shite
Friends - ditto above
The Voice - just grim
Big Brother (celebrity or otherwise)
Who do you think you are - should be renamed 'who do you think gives a shit'. One's own family history may be interesting but anyone else's, including so called celebs, just no.
Celebrity Juice - I just despair.

PhuntSox · 04/11/2017 20:39

Mrs Brown's Boys
Benny Hill

MinesaPinot · 04/11/2017 23:52

My name is Pinot, and I love Game of Thrones and Mrs Brown's Boys, so there.

However, I cannot stand:

Reality music/talent shows - The Voice, X-Factor, BGT and the like (especially after reading Ben Elton's 'Chart Throb')
I'm a Celebrity
TOWIE, Made in Chelsea, Love Island or any other crap with talentless wannabies parading around with orange tans looking like Oompa Loompas
Anything with James Corden or Michael MacIntyre
Anything purporting to be 'critically acclaimed' - usually pretentious shite
Doctor Foster - lasted 30 mins of the very first episode

redexpat · 05/11/2017 00:15

Lost
Only fools and horses
Gilmore Girls. Watched 3 seasons on netflix and kept thinking - it must get better than this. There are so many people who love it, that many people cant be wrong. Yes they can.
Fawlty Towers
Friends.
And YY to the big bang theory!
Mrs Browns Boys.
