Rachael Maddow, "the snide know it all arrogance" describes her to a tee. All of her degrees just can't seem to wipe that away. It comes through loud and clear, can't get her off my screen fast enough.
She is bad but but must say Jerry Springer is a tie.
Rachel Maddow is really interesting because she is willing to give factual backups for opinions and spends time on giving the background that lead to current issues.
Jerry Springer surprised me. His 'shows' are nonsense that produce income for him, but when you hear the man speak, he is reasoned and will approach a topic willing to change his opinions when new information is given.
I would say that both of these people are not just rubber stamps for the left, but honest truth seekers.
American Idol or any other "Talent COMMMpetition" (say it w/brit accent)
RH of Miami or Atlanta
Obstacle Course shows
Jerry Springer or any of those other "who's my baby daddy" shows
Some gossip show called "Dish Nation"..... I watched it for about five minutes to see what it was about. DUMB. A group of people sitting in a dark studio with headphones on and big microphones in front of each one and they're speaking to one another. It's soooo freaking STUPID. Nothing more than a TMZ wannabe. I'm not crazy about TMZ but at least they're a bit funny and they're not sitting in a dark room with headphones on looking like a bunch of idiots.
Does anyone know who watches ALL those prison shows?
I used to watch 'Locked Up Abroad', but most of that was about kids who were hard up for a few bucks and made the bad decision that smuggling drugs was the way to fill the piggy bank.
There are so many real life prison shows, and probably a lot are repeated.
Are they to scare kids?
To help us check up on relatives?
Has anyone learned anything from watching them? It sort of seems that if you see one, you see them all.
I CANNOT STAND TO WATCH (FILL IN THE BLANK?????????).
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.
She reasons with a rigorous logical and intellectual basis. Truth sometimes is painful.

My brother has been in and out of prison since 1982 or so. Mostly in. So, I have a reliable source as far as knowing what prison is all about. The shows usually bother me, or make me worry about him, so I avoid.
I'm sure they satisfy curiosity for the general public though.
Now, as for show I cannot stand/won't watch:
"Housewives" shows.
Any show that is just making some no-talent celebrity richer just by virtue of being a celeb in the 1st place (Kardashians, the Paris Hilton stuff that was on before).
Talent/competition shows.
Reality TV, though I admit that in the PAST I had a slight addiction to America's Next Top Model.
I reserve my special burning hatred for ONE show though: Family Guy. IMO, absolute unfunny garbage. I have nothing against animated shows (love The Simpsons and South Park), but find Family Guy to be just mind-numbingly STUPID and I honestly lose a tiny bit of respect for people when I find out they like it.
...any TV shows featuring female police, detectives, nurses, doctors, coroners, CIA spies, or in any other job where a woman is required to spend a lot of time standing, running, bending or fighting with bad guys...yet she is dressed in skyscraper high heels and a tight skirt. Really unrealistic!
And while I'm on it, I am sick to death seeing women who look like stick-thin fashion models with world-class beautiful faces being cast in such roles. Any woman that beautiful would rarely be found in those types of jobs; they would be actresses!
Yes. I have never watched even one of those housewives shows. First, the ads did not look like any housewives that I ever knew, and second, many of them just looked like hookers and gold diggers. Narcissistic and ego driven wanna be celebrities. They just turn me off.

Oh, yes. It's so much fun to see a woman dressed in heels then walking or running on earth, or maybe at a funeral. Only a male would do such a thing. Every woman in the audience cringes at the thought of it, I'm sure.
Yes. Men in such roles can look craggy but the women all look like fashion plates, with or without much makeup. Now, I knew a woman who drove a truck for a living. Women in such positions tend to look a little butch. I don't watch such things because they are so unrealistic. I think the last of that sort I tried was Scandal because the premise was so interesting. When I saw this thin cute maybe 20 something heading such an operation I just laughed and turned it off.
I think they have to be less concerned with 'pretty' or 'cute' for these females. That's often just the opposite of 'tough' and 'knowledgeable', isn't it? I'm not buying it.
Any reality show that involves teen moms who think making a baby is an accomplishment.
