Any so called "reality" shows
Any so called "talent" shows
Any so called " Celebrity" shows
Game shows
Fox "news"
Sci-Fi shows
Anything with Piers Morgan
Most sitcoms
Tawdry historical fiction like "Spartacus :Blood and Sand", "Rome", "The Tudors". I love History and hate those. I find them incredibly crass, voyeuristic and prurient.
Jerry Springer and programmes of that ilk

Maddow earned a degree in public policy from Stanford University in 1994. At graduation she was awarded the John Gardner Fellowship. She was also the recipient of a Rhodes Scholarship and began her postgraduate study in 1995 at Lincoln College, Oxford. In 2001, she earned a Doctor of Philosophy in politics from Oxford University.

Yeah, that darn know-it-all.

I just can't stand to watch.....


well, thousands of things....so I don't watch them!

I guess first on the list would be train wreck reality shows of people with no dignity acting like fools to get on TV.

First rule of most TV these days: Appeal to the lowest common denominator of humankind.
I'm liking the PBS channels more every day. There's 3 of them that I actually watch. Lately I've especially enjoyed shows like Secrets of the Dead and NOVA. All the PBS shows I watch give me a break from the vast wasteland of other TV. But I still watch quite a few non-PBS show.

I especially agree with the Piers Morgan, what do they think of him in the UK? I bet Fox News has about four dozen viewers in Europe given how they constantly lie about and disrespect European countries.

Pawn Stars
Any of the Housewives (honestly, are there that many shallow b/witches out there?) They make me want to knock them out.
The Bachelor

I actually don't watch a lot of T.V. but when I turn to the History Channel and see those pawn store dudes ripping people off it ticks me off. I do NOT like their attitudes.
