I'm surprised how little Glee was mentioned in this thread.

Teen Wolf -- another Twilight inspired tripe -- needs to be axed.
Thank God that tripe Gossip Girls is coming to it's finale.
The Simpson needs to die. As a fan of the first several season, it's just trash now. Complete and utter trash copying Seth McFarland's tactless comedy style.
Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon has ran it's course along time ago.

But to be honest, I don't watch much TV anymore.

...What does a Michael J. Fox movie have to do with Twilight?

Here's the craptastic show we're talking about.

I'd like to see most of these ghost hunting "reality" shows die -- particularly Paranormal State and Most Haunted.

Paranormal State is the worst of them all, I want to punch that one kid, Ryan I think his name is, in the face.

The thing that annoys me is that you can pick out the scripted scenes with ease, if you pay attention. Everyone's lines suddenly become stilted and unrealistic. Yet, people continue to buy into the over-the-top "evidence" they present, and the idiotic storyline about him being stalked by a demon.

Most Haunted is hilarious. Did you see "A Haunting In..." that Discovery Channel had as part of it's daytime lineup a few years ago? Twas a great source of after school comedy, if only because of the absurdity of "Christians" using "sacred Indian remedies" for the hauntings that would make things somehow worse, without fail, every single time. Their reenactments were classic.

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

My main problem with most of the ghost hunting shows, is that it's basicly asshat X has a "demon" problem, and don't forget kiddies JESUS is the cure.

I hate those shows especially for reinforcing my mom's belief in ghosts. Normally, I would enjoy them as pieces of unintended comedy, and skeptical chewthings, but I can't watch them anymore knowing that my mom is taking this shit seriously. She stores up all these examples of "evidence" to draw upon any time we get into a discussion about the validity of these things.

Heh, thank you for noticing the conflicting "remedies". I always thought that was absurd. LET'S BURN SAGE AND SAY A PRAYER FROM THE BIBLE, ONE OF THEM HAS TO DO SOMETHING, RIGHT?

Whatever it did, it always seemed to piss the "Demon" off. Part of me was always a little disappointed with the fact that nobody died in these stories. You'd think that, if there were beings that could travel between dimensions, and they got some kind of entertainment out of torturing us, that they'd be more efficient than rattling some cupboards in an old house.

I'd like to see how they'd really handle, say, SCP-738.

For those not familiar with the SCP, it's a chair, a desk, and a nicer, plush chair.  Said plush chair is occupied by Satan's lawyer when someone sits down in the normal chair.

Here, for amusement.  Be warned, most of the site is creepypasta, but some of it is just damn fascinating and makes you wish it really existed.

I'd love to believe in ghosts, but those shows don't help.  In fact, they seem to do the opposite.

I hope the non-fiction medical shows *stay*.  I LOVE medically-themed shows, particularly when it's to do with diagnosis. I get to unleash my Inner House.  So far I think I've only missed one.  WooT!
