Anything with the Kardashian's, why are these people famous? I don't get it, they are a bunch of no talent fame ho's. That goes for Paris Hilton and the ex-girls next door too.
Also don't like anything with music or dance.

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
Good list - although I won't lie, Jerry Springer was an amusing trainwreck for awhile...

Add The Borgias and Boardwalk Empire to the "tawdry history" list - I watched one episode of the latter and was extremely underwhelmed.

Jerry Springer and all like him..
Court shows..like Judge...(fill in blank here)
All religious programming
Infomercials and info-channels
2 and a half men...can't forgive Charlie for going off the deep end and not sure if Ashton can cut it.
SOOO glad Katie Couric is gone...
Don't watch any news channels too much bias, prefer BBC News.
And I am glad Oprah is off the air..tried to watch the last show but just couldn't do it.

I am SO glad there are sane people in this world..

I am sick of everyone talking about American Idol and DWTS.

I also agree with most of the above..

The fake laughter in sitcoms drives me nuts...

I hate infomercials about the vaccuum, the balding 30 something guy... He can't pitch a tent, let alone talk smoothly about his product.

Those infomercials about making money in real estate where the guy is sitting next to 3 or 4 strippers, YEAH, like they're listening... BOOBS, guys love that one probably!!

Love to watch Rachel Maddow. Absolutely can not watch Hannity. That smarmy, nasty man reminds me of every tattle tale boy that ended up head down in the john in high school.

After today, I have to say "The View". I know many disagree, but I generally enjoyed the show, including Whoopie Goldberg. I usually like their "hot topics" discussions, sometimes their cooking segments, occasionally the guest stars.

So what makes me want to completely throw in the towel and scream "No mas! No mas!"?
The boss, the diva, the dominatrix of dismal.... Barbara Walters.

When I turn to the opening of the show and see her tottering and mincing her way across the stage to the ViewTable, I cringe. It's gonna be a bad day. Sure enough, the gnarled little hands start waving (she sometimes looks like a symphony conductor), interrupting her costars/minions, to offer her opinion on every. single. topic, directing who can and who can't talk.

Her co-panelists must, of course, shut up, because she is their boss. She must be heard. And what she has to say is usually not worth it. She tries so hard to be relevant and topical, but it's all just cringeworthy. The ego on that woman is gargantuan. The constant reminders of her long, illustrious news career, her book, her famous interviews. We know, Barbara, we know. Daily reminders of your greatness, spoken by YOU, are grating.

She's not clever or funny or even interesting. I'm not interested in watching "The Barbara Walters Show". The View is supposed to include 4 other women. Let them talk! Let them finish a sentence!
