I just realised I watch very very few 'new' shows on TV.  Most of the things I watch are either non-fiction science/animal/medical shows and documentaries, reruns of comedies I watched when I was younger, and Doctor Who.

I really hate TV shows about people keeping weird pets because you can tell that it's really bad for the animal, mainly psychologically. I think it hides the problems that the animals get, encourages people to get them, and glorifies what these people do. I watched one about people keeping monkeys called "My Baby Monkey" and another about a guy who bought a hyena cub online and raised in his tiny 8th floor apartment.

That 'Parenthood' shows is supposed to be set in Portland, right? I remember my friend was watching it, and I caught a glimpse of little cliff side houses and nearly died laughing.

I hate Modern Family

Thank fucking Christ someone else realises how terrible the show is.

THANK YOU. There is not a single likeable character in that show, in my opinion. The conflicts are stupid, and the attempts at humor are pathetic.

Everything on TLC and about 90% of the stuff on The History Channel. What happened to the neat documentaries they used to run? Now TLC is all shitty reality shows starring dysfunctional families that people only watch to make themselves feel normal and History is full of woo-woo shit about finding the Loch Ness Monster or how the ancient Egyptians were screwing aliens.

It's too damn bad how both channels have devolved into the TV equivalent of The Weekly World News. I half expect them to start getting ideas for shows from the lyrics of Midnight Star by Weird Al.

And Nat Geo too. The magazine still seems good as far as I know, but I don't know what the fuck is going on with their TV channel.

TimeWarner Cable utterly pissed me off twice in less than 10 months a couple of years ago so I cancelled everything I had with them and put up an antenna.  Therefore, I've not watched the Discovery Channels or Nat Geo since.  I had almost stopped watching them anyway since they had gone so far away from their original intended programming.  But Netflix usually does have a few of their series on which actually pertain to science (especially, you may have guessed, astronomy) so I can still see those types of shows.  And best of all, I'm saving a ton of money each month.

I'd like to know WTF the History Channel is gonna do now since the 2012 Doomsday shit was proven to be the bs we all predicted it would be??

I'm in the same boat, I only really watch two shows on TV right now, Star Wars:The Clone Wars and MLP:FIM. I'll watch Game of Thrones when it comes back on in March, and when the fall comes around so does Boardwalk Empire.

Most of the history channel's shows.

I mean, really, a show about logging? Gold panning? Hoarding? Pawning stuff off?

The History Channel is really decayed, showing these painfully boring shows wherein people are just trying to pretend what they're doing is exciting in some way.

Really, most reality tv shows are in this category too. iCarly is just vapid, and I've never enjoyed any of the episodes my sister watches when we're in the same room. I've mostly been able to ignore it. Though the iPsycho episode was enjoyable, if not for the intended reasons. Jesse, and then whatever that show about taking care of a bratty toddler can go too. Oh, yes, Good Luck Charlie. Wherein the brat gets its way every time, and nobody ever tells it not to do things that are either annoying or outright harmful.

I am certain there are others, but I don't remember them off the top of my head. The constant re-runs of Life on Deck or whatever its called can stop now. Its been going on for years now, okay, so stop with the re-runs...please. Just make them go away...

Ax Men's hit and miss, even with me, who has relatives who made their living logging in Oregon.  I enjoy Gold Rush, even if every third episode is "equipment breaks, spend 3/4 of the episode fixing it".  Hoarders? That's just train wreck syndrome :3 I happily watch marathons of that stuff.

I could do without Honey Boo Boo.  Fucking rednecks.  I swear that show's on only to inform every OTHER reality show out there of what NOT to do.

Ironic considering one of the Discovery Network channels (it might even have been TLC) aired a couple of BBC documentaries critical of the child beauty pageant scene back in the 90s. There was a lot of scrutiny of pageants after the JonBenet Ramsey murder, and everyone pretty much agreed it was horrible for parents to make their kindergarten-age girls dress up like sex objects and steal their social lives. I remember watching one of them, and some of those parents acted more like they were at a dog show and the kid was the dog.
