Programmes that you can't imagine anyone wanting to watch

[ILoveJamaica]

Cruising with The Nolan's. Can't imagine anyone wanting to watch that. Even the advert makes me cringe.

.

Naked Attraction....hmmjust....why?????

Now, I actually like to watch that if I'm tipsy. No concentration required and leaves me bog-eyed!

Mrs Browns Boys- but people must as it's still being made/shown

Soap Operas

Most of ITV but in particular anything shown in the daytime - this morning, loose women etc

The current spate of murder docu dramas

I cannot fathom how people enjoy watching people who are in such a financial shit storm that bailiffs are coming round to them. It just makes my heart sink to think this is actually allowed on TV

I've often wondered if they get paid though?

I hate the majority of stuff on TV these days. I think since being able to watch stuff on demand and the likes of Netflix, TV has gone to shit. I miss Big Brother and the X Factor back when it was good. Saturday morning kids TV used to be good as did Saturday night telly. Now it's all a load of boring crap.

Naked Attraction
Mrs Brown's Boys
Love Island
Strictly

Any reality tv show or talent type show.
Any 'a night in A&E' or 'medical procedures gone wrong' type show.

Saturday morning kids TV used to be good as did Saturday night telly

This is a good point. I couldn't name one Saturday night TV show now. And yet, it used to be a night to look forward to.

Antiques’s Roadshow. The backwards looking show for a nation of backwards looking people.

Even the twee theme tune makes me cringe if I happen to hear it.

@Journeywithdragons, love it !
Monkey tennis?
Dogs on Fogle?

Love Island.

@Journeyofthedragons, above meant for you !!

This is obviously an old one, but Songs of Praise...how, just how, did they manage over 2000 episodes? Surely there's only a handful of hymns even the most devout religious person can possibly stomach, week in and week out?!

@SwedishEdith

Any of that 'sneer tv' - people on benefits, gypsy weddings stuff. Anything to make the viewers look down on someone else.

TOWIE/Made in Chelsea and shit like that. I hate that these stage managed programmes have made dull, uninteresting people famous. And they generate more shit tv as they now have 'celebrity' status to appear of all the other celebrity programmes.

Absolutely.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m as fond of mindless tv as anyone, but it has to be the right kind of mindless. I have a soft spot for Pointless (even though all I really want to do is ask questions about the age range etc of the 100 people, and to tell AA to stop asking inane questions about contestants’ hobbies and get to the questions), Mastermind, Mock the Week, and Ben Fogle’s New Lives in the Wild (though again, I kind of want to ask Ben F whether he doesn’t think some of the people are quite unwell.)

I like wildlife documentaries, but hate sentimental, anthropomorphising pet programmes, and I genuinely don’t get programmes like One Born Every Minute — why is it entertaining to watch people in pain, and why on earth would you choose to be in it???

I agree soaps are depressing — I think the only time I ever liked any was back in the high camp days of Dynasty and Falcon Crest, where it was all shoulder pads and diamonds and characters suddenly waking up being played by a different actor.

Oh, and anything along the lines of Embarrassing Bodies, Embarrassing Fat Bodies, My 2000- lb Life etc.

Jeremy Kyle was always dodgy as fuck - I’m surprised it didn’t get cancelled earlier.

Find he return of cheesy game shows (Blankety Blank anyone ? )Thought not ! Hopefully not returning to the 1970s. Also Naked Attraction and anything with Gordon Ramsey as well .Just cant wait to switch off TBH .Also anything like Get me out of here type shows.Enjoy all Murder mysteries and thrillers/ type things

Love Island, I'm a celebrity... pretty much anything with 'celebs'/ wannabes really. In fact nearly all regular TV these days is garbage, I rarely watch anything that isn't on Netflix.

Jeremy Kyle was always dodgy as fuck - I’m surprised it didn’t get cancelled earlier

JK was such a manipulator. Being horrible to someone one minute, and then the next minute calling them mate, and telling them how much better they would feel if they confessed.

He also reminded me a little bit of an animal - something about his mouth and teeth.

Funny how he just faded in to obscurity, I though he would pop up in another programme.

*Antiques’s Roadshow. The backwards looking show for a nation of backwards looking people8

This is a funny one for me. Hated it when I was younger, but actually now find it fascinating. I loved the one where a woman had bought a ring for a tenner (or something), and she wore it everywhere, gardening, cooking, swimming thinking it was just costume jewellery. One day, she is in the company of a jeweller who remarks on her amazing ring. Turns out it was worth about £300,000

Erm....

You do know that most churchgoers go to church every week, right? Some of them more often.

Not television, but I find it unfathomable how anyone could listen to a programme on the radio about ballet - literally the most visual of the performing arts.

Game of Thrones. Absolute shite!

Loose Women

This Morning during lockdown - because apparently it’s an ‘essential service’. Ridiculous.

Def mrs browns boys here too!

@ILoveJamaica - I love Antiques Roadshow! I’m middle aged now though…
