I can't stand comedy programmes and don't get how people find them funny. I hate scripted reality shows such as Towie and Made in Chelsea, they are pointless as none of it is real. Also hate game shows eg. The Chase, Pointless, amongst others. Watching other people answer questions and try and win money just really bores me for some reason.

mummyhaschangedhername · 17/12/2017 14:50

Another for any reality programmes, a,though I don't mind medical ones like, one born every minute, I don't watch any soaps either.

DonnyAndVladSittingInATree · 17/12/2017 14:54

Agree with all the Saturday night type stuff (although I used to love gladiators as a child! Grin)

Anything that Graham norton is in. Ditto Catherine Tate.

This morning, loose women, the one on channel 5 with Matthew Wright.

Anything like kimmy Schmidt, ugly Betty, Jane the virgin type stuff.

DonnyAndVladSittingInATree · 17/12/2017 14:55

Oh I can’t stand shows like one born or 24hours in A&E.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 17/12/2017 15:02

Towie, Karddashians etc
Loose Women/This Morning
Game of Thrones yes Game of Thrones Xmas Grin

FrLukeDuke · 17/12/2017 15:05

Mrs Browns and X factor type singing programmes, Kirsty Allsop. I love Strictly though

Home and Away

Easier to list what I do watch these days. So little to love. I hate most of the ITVbe type output - TOWIE, MIC, Love Island, Cake Wars etc and the big saturday shows - Strictly, I'm a celeb, the Voice, X factor, BGT etc

My 3 younger DC ( teens) never really watch TV nor do their friends - they might watch Corrie or Emmerdale if they are having a TV dinner or curiously Don't tell the Bride if they are unwell but that's about it. Does TV have a future?

beepbeeprichie · 18/02/2018 21:01

Strictly, Mrs Browns Boys, any reality shows with reality stars in them (IACGMOOH now comes into this category). Also hospital fly on the wall shows. Ghoulish.

I usually dislike the Drama (with a capital D) that they put on at 9 o'clock. Especially all the police / investigation ones which involve some bloke doing hideous things to one or more women, usually young nubile women.
It annoys me that all channels put on their major work at the same time, at 9 o'clock.
Most TV bores me these days.

senua · 18/02/2018 21:14

I've just popped next door to see what DH is watching. They (various men) have just discovered the dead body of a young woman.Hmm

Ponyboycurtis · 18/02/2018 21:18

I watched something tonight on BBC1 at 7.30, Alison Steadman and Jason Watkins, it was absolutely dreadful. Just awful.

AmazingDetectiveSlashGenius · 18/02/2018 21:27

They (various men) have just discovered the dead body of a young woman

I get tired of this as well.

I'm watching La mante on Netflix at the moment - give it a try for a refreshing twist on the serial-killer narrative.

JustDanceAddict · 18/02/2018 21:44

I’m not a strictly fan either!

HappydaysArehere · 18/02/2018 22:07

mercurymaze you have a kindred spirit here. I also thought I was the only person to dislike Strictly Come Dancing.

Cherrypie32 · 18/02/2018 22:47

Mrs Browns Boys
Celebrity Juice
Jeremy Kyle
Big Brother

Cherrypie32 · 18/02/2018 22:48

I have a sadly huge tolerance for most of shit on ITVBe though 😳

maddiemookins16mum · 19/02/2018 07:52

Friends (I just found it stupid).
I also never got into Sex and the City etc.
I also hate X Factor but used to like it about 8/10 years ago.

maddiemookins16mum · 19/02/2018 07:54

Oh and things like Towie and Made in Chelsea, it annoys me that DD seems to idolise the 'characters' in these shows who come across as not very nice (I have other words for some) or very bright people!

MichaelBendfaster · 19/02/2018 12:28

I bloody love Strictly. Check out this [[https://monkseal.wordpress.com blog ]] for why it's worth watching –all the dynamics, power plays, politics, unspoken messages, eye-rolls...

I hate other Saturday-night 'entertainment' stuff though. And TOWIE and all that reality guff.

Sitcoms all tend to be toe-curling.

I like crime and thrillers but even I have to admit that there are too many of them. Some are decidedly B-list too.

Doctor Who is hugely overrated, particularly when Steven The Ego Moffat was in charge.

MichaelBendfaster · 19/02/2018 12:29

Sorry for the shite link Blush

Elle8989 · 20/02/2018 01:51

Mrs brown boys
