Hmm, I usually have not even watched anything that is bad, but I did see Lost and 4400 when visiting my brother and those must be them, I really can't understand hype of those, so boring more like some talk shows, but my opinion is sure bit twisted as I'm bit of twisted person ;)

Those that I have not watched are perhaps Pokemon and Teletubbies at least what I have heard those should be quite awful.

Never watched 'em, but I believe they are indeed very dismal.



I'd add every soap opera to the list (although many years ago I did watch Brookside :oops: ).

And what has happened to Top Gear? Last time I saw it (erm, 1993?) it wasn't too bad. I caught a glimpse a couple of weeks ago and there was Clarkson and two other guys stood in front of an audience trying to be funny. Very sad indeed. And what did they say, Saabs are not cool but Novas are? What rot.

Erm, and how about all of those lousy American 'comedies' (Friends, Will and Grace, etc.). Bin 'em all.

I don't watch much telly :lol:

I don't watch at all, well sometimes when visiting somewhere I may see somthing but really there is not lot that I might watch, maybe 4 programs in month if even that. It is several hundred of euros that is needed to pay to have a tv, just too much for that content.

It is mostly reality shows, I don't like them at all, or them soap opera's and I don't like them either. That lives news, children programs mobile cash collecting shows and movies, almost all movies have been sent quite few times already and news I can get from net, mobile cash collecting stuff is annoying, who is so stupid that spend money one those? Well quite many I think because those get quite lot of tv time. Also I think I'm no more children :lol:

I'm going to vote for the majority of daytime family feud type shows (Trisha, Jeremy Kyle, all the jerry springer knock offs) they just wind me up and make me want to go postal, but it's not quite as bad as big brother, but runs a close second!

I think that is one of the most well designed game shows on tv at the moment, obviously there is nothing but pure chance involved in a specific game, but the psychology and mathematics involved in playing the perfect game are mind boggling.

it does, amuse me when you get a contestant who claims to be a hard-core gambler, who goes to pieces and plays precisely as the production team want them to and ends up walking away with nothing

Theres been many "discussions" (arguements) about deal or no deal in our house, and the maths involved. Then again, that happens quite a lot with us, 3 electronics and 1 physics, none liking being proved wrong :(

I also like friends MJ, not as good as scrubs, but...

I also like Teletubbies too :oops:

As to the worst, eastenders, correnation street, and famer mc emmerdale get my vote.

Guys , your all slagging teletubbies

but here is a NEWSFLASH

It wasn't actually designed to be watched by anyone over 5 years of age .


believe me it was invaluable for keeping the rugrats quiet and occupied when they were younger .

sm14 I suppose some would consider getting the kids to watch it to be a form of child abuse

I'm worried about kids mental grow if they are watching stuff like teletubbies :lol:

But I'm sure that is great value for parents to be able to get kids quiet and stay still for a moment, I might use tiewraps and duck tape, but maybe it is just good that I don't have kids :P :lol:
