Are there TV shows you avoid?

[minniecarousel]

I purposely avoid the Law & Order, CSI's and other crime scene TV shows because I know I'll probably like them and I don't have time to watch any more TV than I already watch! I watch NYPD Blue, Alias, 24 and a few dramas, but I just don't want to get started on others. I have also never seen an episode of "Survivor". I watch all the comedies I can - probably because the real world is scary enough - I don't need those eerie & violent dramas too!

Anyone else avoid certain types of TV?

I don't like shows about people disappearing.

Several. I rarely watch Network TV, so it's not too challenging. Tivo helps, too. I tell it the things I want. When I sit down to watch TV, there's something recorded for me to watch.

 

[EsmeraldaX]

Any reality show (okay, ocasionally we watch Dog the Bounty hunter)

pretty much anything that is not on the Discovery, travel or other such channel.

The only non educational tv I watch is Gilmore Girls, Monk, Dead Zone, and Billy & Mandy.

Fear Factor. Ewww. Actually, we hardly ever watch anything on network tv. The Gilmore Girls is the only show I watch on a regular basis.

We spend a lot of time watching the History Channel, Discovery, TLC, or BBC America.

That's a lot of money I spend on cable to watch those 4 channels!

All the Survivor and Bachelor shows--they don't ring my bell!

My sister Cindy feared the dark after seeing a magician's assistant disappear

I avoid like the plague any reality show that has to do with dating, marrying, falling in love with a complete and total stranger, ect. I just don't get how people think/expect they they can fall in love with someone over a pre-determined amount of weeks AND on national TV to boot. BLECH.

OOPS..let me change that I don't avoid ALL dating shows..I do watch Blind Date because I think it is hysterical! I love the pop up word clouds, and the little cartoon guy that pops up every now and then. That show is a total hoot! But as for the rest of them, not for me!

Sorry don't flame me but I don't watch the Fox News Network for anything. I just don't like that channel. We don't watch any of the getting together shows or Survivor or Fear Factor. My dh would rather be ran up a flag pole then have to watch Lifetime Network. We like sitcoms and some dramas but really don't watch a whole lot of tv unless its sports or cooking shows on the weekend.

NYPD Blue

I don't know what it is about that show, but it gives me a headache. It might be the way they shoot the scenes really quick going from one thing to another.

DH likes it, so when he is glued to the tv, I just come on the DIS.
To me the DIS is far more entertaining.

I also avoid the news and any show that is a re-enactment of real life murders, rapes, etc. Too depressing for me.

I try to avoid CSI, but DH watches it and I always get sucked in.

 

[mickyzzzzz05]

I also have never seen a Survivor and Bachelor shows and I am not planning on watching them.

 

[adamak]

Any reality shows. They're waste of time and not representing any reality at all.

Any reality show except Last Comic Standing, and I don't watch the part of it which takes place in "the house." In other words, I just watch the stand up comic part of it.

 

[ead79]

I don't watch Fear Factor because I don't like watching people have to eat disgusting things. I'm also not a fan of most of the shows on the WB network.

 

[Roemama1]

When I saw the topic of this thread I knew my answer right away. FEAR FACTOR!!!! GROSS, GROSS!!!

I can't stand the stuff they make them eat it just makes me gag thinking about it!!! BLECH!!!
