what tv programmes that everyone raves about have you never watched or have just made you think,hmmm,can't see what the fuss is about ?

[MargaretMountford]

for me it's
Sex and The City
Friends
24
Lost
Heroes and
Desperate Housewives
never watched Moonlighting either come to think of it but loved ER and Thirtysomething...

Oh This Life! I loved that to the point of adoration when it was on in the mid 90s. But did anyone catch that '10 years on' palaver that was on telly a couple of months ago. Just proves that the programme was definitely of its time. Now the characters just came across as a bunch of twats

Sopranos

Oh and all of those 24, Lost, Prison Break, Heroes, Desperate Housewives, Torchwood, Dr Who as well

Come Dine With Me is good. I had never heard of it until 2 weeks ago, me and my dd spent a rainy afternoon watching a whole series back-to-back. Was very funny

the OC
greys anatomy
house
hollyoaks
corronation street
lost
the west wing
footballers wives

oh so many

It's the voiceover that is hilarious

Never seen Gavin and Stacey - I just never seem to be in when it's on. It's the bees knees apparently.

Never seen 24 either or that Prison Break thing or Curb Your Enthusiasm. Watched the first episode of Desperate Housewives and had to switch off cos I couldn't stand the way the narrator spoke. And as I've said on another thread, just don't get the fuss about Sex and the City...

Apart from those though, I'll watch any old shit!

Ooh- VT- I just watched Prison Break series one- last week! Talk about gripping!
Couldn't stop. Booooring DH rationed us to 3 a night...

Mighty Boosh - nope, sorry, don't 'get' it.

Ugly Betty is crap too, one unfunny joke.

oh, saw Gavin & Stacey last night for 1st time... meh...

All of those.

But DH and didn't watch Life on Mars for the first series and then discovered it second time round. Loved it. Seem to remember we were the same with Red Dwarf year ago.

Friends
Star Trek
The Simpsons

EastEnders - vile people I'd cross the road to avoid, shouting at each other in markets and pubs.

Coronation Street - I just don't get the nation's obsession with it.

Sex and the City - stupid, vacuous, shoe-obsessed, unattractive, materialistic women fixating on "finding a man" to vaildate themselves, lauded by stupid people as "feminism".

Ugly Betty - I can't see the point of it.

Pushing Daises - ditto.

Bo Selecta - The unfunniest "comedy" ever seen.

Spooks, 24, lost, Dr Who, Desperate Hosewives, Casualty, Heroes,

And my unmissables are: Doctor Who, Lost, The Apprentice and Spooks. If you don't get those, you don't get TV!

dr who is pretty daft and stupid too imo
grown men fixated and obsessed with a tv show

Ooh yes, agree about Ugly Betty, what a croc of shite.

Corrie!! Corrie!!? How can you slag off Corrie, UQD?

Well, calling it "Corrie" is unlikely to endear me to it... It's just... an everyday story of extremely dull Northern folk.

southeastastra - actually, men, women and children - Dr Who has the biggest "family" audience of any BBC show, so NURRRRR!

ud peed me off with his descrption on satc

defend SATC then!

Oh Bo Selecta - dismally, dismally unfunny. I just don't get it.

Same as Little Britain. Stupid, repetetive offensive humour dressed up as clever-cleverness and self-aware irony.

Curb your Enthusiasm is very very funny though, especially the early series.

I haven;t seen Pushing Daisies but it looks like nonsense. Anna Friel is up there with Keira Knightley and Winona Ryder as one of most annoying and useless actresses going, imo, so not surpising I haven't watched it.

i have to go out

So you don't shorten Dr Who to Doccie then?? . Corrie is best written thing on the telly...

Sex in the City
Heroes
24
Dr Who
Ugly Betty
Gray's Anatomy
ER
