Shows I Tried To Watch

[69GSstage1]

Hardcore Pawn - I can't stand all the bickering between Seth and Ashley. It gets old when a customer asks for a ridiculous amount of money for something that is practically worthless and then asks to speak to a manager.

Operation Repo - Sonia is a heart attack or stroke waiting to happen. It seems like she gets fatter in every episode. She and Froy remind me of Seth and Ashley with all their childish arguments.

Unforgettable
Duets
Dancing With the Stars

97% of them, right now I try to watch absolutely nothing.
I am waiting for fall and if nothing improves, I will read until somebody comes up with something but it will probably get cancelled.

Storage Wars Texas-Wow, talk about a breakdown in entertainment between this program and the regular Storage Wars.
Duck Dynasty-One episode until the first commercial break. Beneath the bottom of the barrel programming.

Toy Hunters-They will be going weekly later this year, but the one-off they did show was horrible. Badly edited and you need to check your intelligence at the door for this one if you are anywhere near the collecting world.

Holmes on Homes-That dude comes off as the biggest tool in the business.

Love It or List It-Do they pay the home owners bonuses on a per insult/hissy fit scale? Seems so heavily staged with that mess, plus the chick on that show irritates me with her accent, though I am strangely drawn to her...her lead construction guy (they showcased his home one time for a renovation) comes off as the textbook pinhead who thinks he knows more than anybody because he swings one of those metal topped bang-bangs onto wood all day. The real estate agent on that show seems like he'd be a goofy guy and possesses alot of one liners and smarminess. He's alright.

TNA-I can only stomach most of what goes on in the ring. Put a microphone in front of anyone's face or go backstage, it's over.

...to name but a few. They sounded good on paper but they either bored me to tears, tried too hard to be "edgy" and/or had zero likeable characters to keep me tuning in.

Unless you watched 6 episodes with concentration of The Wire than you didn't give it enough of a try. I started watcing it several times and each time I stopped, but then I finally pushed through to episodes 5 and 6 and still didn't love it, but decided I could keep watching finished season #1 and it is now my favorite show of all time.

I would recommend you sticking with it a little longer. Sort of like reading a good book, sometimes you have to work your way through the chapters to appreciate the good parts
