The View...and I don't but for some reason other shows insist on showing clips from it. I can't take their voices. They could talk about the weather and I'd still feel this way. They all sound like a bunch of clucking chickens. I think some TV talk/news women need to learn how to modulate/tone down their shrill loud voices. I've noticed that women who come from radio are better at it.

Agreed about Reality shows

I need intelligent well written and well acted shows (Dexter, Homeland, Boardwalk Empire etc.).

The ONLY Sports I watch is NY Rangers Hockey

I can't STAND game shows....not even for a minute.

Cooking shows come in at a close second.

NEVER watch sports.

Watch one reality show....DWTS.
{watched Celebrity Apprentice last season because of specific stars, open to watching it again if there are stars signed on that I want to see.}

Anything with a laugh track or NASCAR which are about the same. Sports involving sticks and balls. War movies.

Yeah, that darn know-it-all.
Humm...all that and she hosts a poorly rated talk show on a news station. What does that say?

Almost everything around us seems to have a political angle anymore. The OP specifically stated it was her delivery, yet there is always someone that quickly jumps in to argue a point. It's sad. It seems most shows try to push an agenda and I'm sick of someone trying to tell me what to think. What happened to showing both sides of an issue and letting people form their own opinions?

I avoid anything political in nature anymore because it's all biased. I avoid most reality TV because it's about anything but reality. I hate blood and guts and SciFI.

Gets tough sometimes, I watch a lot of reruns LOL.

No sports
No reality (as if they were)
No games
No talk
Cooking shows...meh

I do like cop shows, some comedies, some documentary, some science.

Any show with Rosie O'donnell. Ever notice how people like her get a show in an election year? They have no political background but are boustrously intrusive with their opinions. Cannot stand this!

No competition shows. Why is everything turned into a competition? Even a pleasant show like decorating or baking cakes is turned into a competition to see who does it best. Then all the infighting begins and we get to see the unpleasant side of people. GAG.

For me, I cannot stand to watch RACHEL MADDOW. I mean, I try to watch a lot of different opinions.....but she come across as just too smarmy and know it all for me......end up turning the channel quite quickly when she is on.
99% of reality television including but not limited to Kardashians, Kendra, Mob Wives, Basketball Wives, Real World, the billion dating shows out there, etc.
