Two and a Half Men - what is so funny about men who will not grow up?
Family Guy - just obnoxious
Everybody Loves Raymond - never got the appeal, never.
Friends - cute, but not funny

Ditto. I wish I could like this show, my husband is really into it and I'd love to watch it with him... but somehow it just gives me a headache and irritates me. I can't sit through it. I find myself sitting there... then thinking about all the other things I could be doing... then making mental checklists of things I need to remember... and before long I'm polishing lightbulbs or something.

Same goes with the Sarah Silverman show. S t u p i d. She is so annoying. Her only redeeming quality is that at least she's not fat. I'm sure in person she's great... but her show stinks.

And I really miss when MadTV and Saturday Night Live were good. I used to really look forward to watching those shows with my family... but oh my gosh are they so truly awful now.

We got rid of TV for many years and that was a blessing. We got it back to watch Obama become president... and now we're infested again. I really need to pull the plug, again...

Does anyone remember Northern Exposure? I loved that show. There was some humor there, just very subtle. I don't know of any other show that was ever like that one. I miss it.

Hmm, that is tough.

Frasier was funny in the first few seasons, then it got more and more inane. I loved Cheers the same way, but they jumped the shark about 6-7 seasons in.

Friends? 3 seasons.

SNL? 3 minutes per sketch while (tehy) were on drugs, 2 minutes w/o

Raymond? 3 seasons. When they were still using HIS material.

Mad TV? 1 out of every 4 sketches. (Bad)

SS? HELL no!!!!

KoQ? Not realistic. I get a chuckle out of it, but that is it.

As for me, I find it easier to list what I LIKE than what I don't, as most of it is poop (or becomes it either after it runs out of ideas OR it becomes mainstream popular).

Frankly, The Office.

I don't see anything likeable in it (except Jenna Fischer).

In fact, the show seems awkward to watch.

Loved "Northern Exposure." "Men In Trees" was described by a friend of mine as "Northern Exposure" meets "Sex And the City."

I don't find Conan O'Brien very funny. He's actually pretty annoying.
