1. Fred: The Show. Anyone remember the obnoxious Fred video series on YouTube? The irritating guy whose voice is altered to be dramatically higher than usual? Yeah, it's a show now.
I'm shocked no one's said Jersey Shore yet.I assumed it's a given, along with all other forms of reality TV.
Yes, especiallyI'm shocked no one's said Jersey Shore yet.I assumed it's a given, along with all other forms of reality TV.
iCarly's going away.
The Big Bang Theory needs to either die or go back to being about pseudo-geek humour. The first couple of seasons were ok, but now it's just about relationship drama like every other fucking TV show ever.
Also, Family Guy and South Park are both clearly way past their prime. I think it's time for them to die with a little dignity.
3. The Simpsons. Don't get me wrong, I've loved and watched the show for years, but the writers are completely pulling shit out of their asses now to create what doesn't even deserve to be called an episode. I actually think they've run out of things in their ass to pull out and have to resort to other places, because my god, there's very little quality now. The characters aren't who they used to be. They seem overly exaggerated for comedic effect, and decent stories are often sacrificed for celebrity appearances. It makes me sad to see one of my favorite shows in such a state.

Well, at least there's not an Annoying Orange / Fred crossover.

Shh, you're gonna give them ideas.
Also, I know reality shows are a given, but I feel the need to mention Toddlers & Tiaras, as disgusting as it is. That type of competition is unhealthy for the parents and kids.

Quite frankly, take all of the kid's shows that are condescending, punt them into the sun, and then replace them with quality entertainment that all can enjoy. Not the shitty stuff where everyone overenunciates, stares at the screen, and waits like 2 seconds for the person responds. Nor the stuff where everyone makes joke about monkey butt and plots are increasingly simplistic and shallower than the kiddie pool... no, stuff where the characters are interesting, the interactions more or less realistic, and stuff actually happens that has real consequences as opposed to "everyone laughs, the end"The only "kids" shows I've found that match most of those criteria are Avatar and Young Justice.

I honestly can't decide what to make of the new Thundercats.

The problem is that we have "kids shows" in the first place. It's condescending.

And to be fair to the "kids shows" genre, I think it makes sense to have something age appropriate for younger audiences. This doesn't mean they need to be as stupid as they currently are, but I wouldn't expect an elementary school student to grasp the finer plot points of Young Justice, or to necessarily understand the humor of prime time sitcoms.

I liked the first three seasons of Robot Chicken, but season four was disappointing. I had to stop watching at that point.
King of the Hill never really appealed to me, I guess because I could never bring myself to enjoy any of the characters.
There's still a few things that are salvageable on Discovery. History Channel too, for that matter. Gold Rush (and Bering Sea Gold [yes, despite equipment breaking down every other episode and taking the entirety of one to fix it]), Ax Men (sue me, I'm an Oregonian born and bred. Forestry's always been interesting to me. Plus chainsaws), American Pickers, American Restoration...So I'm not the only one who likes Axe Men. If nothing else, it certainly does a lot to dispel the "lazy American" stereotype.

Well, not all the time, but I'm fairly sure we've had fundamental disagreements on things.

I think It's always sunny in Philadelphia should go in a hole and die some where.
I haven't seen anything from season five of Robot Chicken, so maybe it's turned around for all I know.
Squidbillies
Why does this show even exist?
Squidbillies

Oh come on, Squidbillies is fucking hilarious.
let me guess you also liked 12 oz. Mouse when it was on.
.Maury Povich used to have good shows on, when he was bringing on talented kids and doing awesome makeovers, but now its all *Girl on show for 20th time with six more men* "None of them are the father!!!!" *Douche boys all jump around like idiots celebrating while girl breaks down crying*
Another show to me that needs to die is the show workaholics. Also if they were to bring back a show I would love for them to bring back these two shows Important things with Demetri Martin and The Sarah Silverman Program .
I don't like Squidbillies because I think it's dumb as hell, but I can't call someone's opinion wrong. That said, I would give zero fucks if it were canceled.

What makes it funny is that it is a parody of Southern U.S. culture, written by Southerners. To call it "stupid" is redundant because it is supposed to be stupid.
It's like complaining that "Married With Children" was trash TV. Well no shit, it was designed to be trash TV; that's what makes it work.
Gargoyles was my favorite show when it was on, until the third season when they fired all the writers and the show took a steep downward plunge.
Most of Australian television. Seriously, all of our talented people go overseas...

I read the comics for a little while. They sort of picked up at the beginning of the third season, as if most of that season never happened.Gargoyles was my favorite show when it was on, until the third season when they fired all the writers and the show took a steep downward plunge.
The Goliath Chronicles *vomit* The only episode from the third season considered cannon by the fans of the show is the first episode which introduces the Quarryment. That was the last episode the series creator Greg Weisman worked on.
But if you look around, Greg Weisman continued the series through comic books.
Also, as a bit of little known trivia... did you know that Lexington is actually gay? Greg Weisman didn't dare put it in the show because it was too controversial, but I believe he is incorporating it into his comics.
Bob's Burgers needs to die.
Anger Management. I haven't seen it and I already don't like it.Wasn't that a movie?
I haven't seen Bob's Burgers, but the commercials didn't exactly give me any incentive to watch it.Of course! What kind of freak doesn't want to be exactly like everyone else?
Also, What Not To Wear seriously pissed me off (my sister used to watch it). The hosts will take someone who has their own unique, comfortable style, and force them to switch to the current fashion trends. God forbid someone dress in a manner that the professionals don't approve of.

And that five thousand dollars they give the person doesn't go very far when they're spending $800 bucks on one item.
$500 clothes...? 0_0 That's almost 3 months worth of food for me.And that five thousand dollars they give the person doesn't go very far when they're spending $800 bucks on one item.
That's the thing that annoys me the most about What Not To Wear, but I hate clothing items that cost like $500 each. The most I've ever spent on any sort of clothing item/accessory is $200 on my Dooney & Bourke pocketbook, which I still use everyday, and have been for 4 years(I still get many compliments on it all the time). You can buy nice, "in-style" clothes at JCPenneys for anywhere from $10 -$30 each, and a lot of the time it's marked down so it's even cheaper.

I don't like the way they berate people for wearing clothes that regular people wear. "OH GOD, A SWEATSHIRT, WHY WOULD YOU WEAR THAT IN PUBLIC?" Go whore yourself out on another Pantene commercial, you catty twat.
Also the haircut guy. I remember him saying a few times something like, "If you were coming to my salon as a regular customer, this would be costing you $260." Get the hell outta here with your $260. You're not weaving platinum threads into her scalp.
Okay family guy really does need to die. I just saw this weird episode about an annoying dolphin living with the family

Family Guy was never good. I really don't understand why people like it so much. When South Park can sum up the main flaws of the show better than the TV guide can, you know something's really wrong.
The worst part is that it seems to have influenced The Simpsons (which was shitty to begin with) despite being a crude rip-off of it.
I don't even like Tosh.0 and find Joel McHale's The Soup to be far superior.

Pretty much any vampire drama they got on TV. Fucking Twilight, you ruined vampires!

That is odd, most actors that play characters often get attached to their roles, and try to find something positive about the said characters, even if the character in question is a complete douche.

The first season was barely watchable. Since then they've been milking an already half-dead franchise.
Yeah, if you want sexualized vampires, look to Anne Rice, not Stephanie Meyer.

That's the thing - she's acting perfectly. It's how her character is written.
Blame the writers. And the writer who started this whole mess.
I actually kinda look forward to seeing her in Snow White and the Huntsman - albeit not in theaters, I'd rather wait until its out on DVD.

God, imagine if they tried to make a Twilight TV series that followed the adventures of Edward and his family. Then again, that could have more potential than the books due to different writers and the fact that his family members are at least a little more interesting than the fucking shithole of a romance between Edward and Bella.

My god, would that series be creepy from Edward's perspective.
I knew what had to happen now. The girl would have to come sit beside me, and I would have to kill her.
The innocent bystanders in this classroom, eighteen other children and one man, could not be allowed to leave this room, having seen what they would soon see.I flinched at the thought of what I must do. Even at my very worst, I had never committed this kind of atrocity. I had never killed innocents, not in over eight decades.
And now I planned to slaughter twenty of them at once.
The face of the monster in the mirror mocked me. Even as part of me shuddered away from the monster, another part was planning it.
If I killed the girl first, I would have only fifteen or twenty seconds with her before the humans in the room would react. Maybe a little bit longer, if at first they did not realize what I was doing.
She would not have time to scream or feel pain; I would not kill her cruelly. That much I could give this stranger with her horribly desirable blood.
But then I would have to stop them from escaping. I wouldn’t have to worry about the windows, too high up and small to provide an escape for anyone. Just the door—block that and they were trapped.

Oh, it's even creepier than that. An excerpt from the draft Meyer posted on her site, from when Edward first meets Bella:QuoteI knew what had to happen now. The girl would have to come sit beside me, and I would have to kill her.

The only good thing about Gossip Girls, is that it pissed the shit out of fundies.
While I don't give a shit about teens having sex, I think the teen pregnancy shows need to die. I haven't managed to sit through an episode (and what I have seen was ages ago), so I wonder whether the show glorifies pregnancy or makes it out to be a complete trainwreck and could possibly lead to teens having safer sex.
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.

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

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.

I wish all the Real Housewives shows would cease to exist.
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!

Diagnosis: Mystery
Diagnosis: Dead or Alive
Bizarre ER
ER Nights
Let's see... there are others, but I'm not remembering them right now. They're mostly on either Discovery Health and Fitness channel, or TLC.
Those stupid "entertainment shows" like TMZ, and the whatnot. I don't give shit for those people you talk about.
You should check out their Hollywood bus tours. I have no words for how pathetic you have to be to find entertainment in being told where a famous person vomited in public or was arrested, never mind how stupid you are for paying someone to point these places out to you.Those stupid "entertainment shows" like TMZ, and the whatnot.

Bristol Palin's Life's a Tripp.
Why does this stupid bitch get her own TV Show? Oh, right, the royal blood of Palin flows through her. The Execs want to milk the Palin Drama.
So I guess we need a new porn star for a new Whose Nailin Palin tape.
I have no problem with people not liking the show, but I feel most of the hate is due to the assholes within the fanbase itself, and the hate is therefore directed towards all of the fanbase, when in reality I can't stand most of the fanbase myself, because they're assholes and douchebags.
In addition, I'm irritated when a fan of the show labels all non-fans as haters, as if it's impossible for us to dislike the content of the show, implying we instead have some personal problem with the fans being fans.Yah, this whole "You can't possibly dislike My Little Pony for what it is, because it's objectively the bee's knees" attitude really needs to die. It doesn't matter what the masterful John De Lancie and Lauren Faust or anyone else who I've never heard of and whose opinion I couldn't care less about would think. The sooner you all just accept that some people simply don't get any enjoyment out of My Little Pony and stop trying to reverse that, the easier it'll be for everyone to get along.
"Family Guy" is just sad these days and desperately needs to be cancelled.
Also, Phineas and Ferb. I fail to see why so many teenagers are fascinated by this horseshit.
It's better than My Little Pony.
I believe the masterful John De Lancie and Lauren Faust would beg to differ. As would Peter New, Tara Strong, Nicole Oliver, Tabitha St. Germain, Andrea Libman, Cathe Weseluck and a multitude of others.
MLP may very well be a very good show. But, even though I have a child within the demographic that it was originally targeted at, I refuse to allow it to be shown in my house because of the annoying fans who insist on shitting on everything else with their "fandom".Aww, you shouldn't let a bunch of insufferable man-children on the internet spoil things for your kid.

Then again, I shouldn't ever be giving parenting advice under any circumstances. Ah well, make of this post what you will.
Meh. I don't have kids ether, but that seems like a perfectly reasonable point, regardless of your reproduction status.It's not that I don't have kids, it's that I can't stand the little buggers.

PORN IS FILTHY AND WILL DESTROY YOUR LIFE BECAUSE THIS IS LIFETIME (http://www.somethingawful.com/d/movie-reviews/cyber-seduction-his.php)My favorite bit of SAs review is how it is so awful that he's looking at anime girls. They're like real girls except no one is being exploited.

While Justin is walking home, Diane gets a call from the bank asking about "unusual activity" on her credit card account, because no normal people anywhere have ever purchased internet pornography and every such charge is immediately pounced upon by diligent watchmen.
Later Diane is putting away some clothes in Alex's room when she finds a CD-R hidden in the back of a drawer. Upon pulling it out, she sees it's got the handwritten title of "VIRGIN VAGINAS." Yes, Justin was stupid enough to not only burn his pornography onto a permanent medium, but then he actually labeled it as such, instead of something no one would ever think to check, like "Math Homework" or "Swim Schedule" or "Windows ME."
^This is the same kid who burned his porn to a CD and wrote the title on the label. Something tells me he's not exactly bright.I never thought I would have to explain this but kid go to your history and click on the delete function if you share a computerQuoteLater Diane is putting away some clothes in Alex's room when she finds a CD-R hidden in the back of a drawer.

Tyler Perry needs to go away. Right now. Each and every one of his shows. Who watches him? Seriously, if anyone here knows someone who watches his tripe please tell me about that person, that target demographic.
3. The Simpsons. Don't get me wrong, I've loved and watched the show for years, but the writers are completely pulling shit out of their asses now to create what doesn't even deserve to be called an episode. I actually think they've run out of things in their ass to pull out and have to resort to other places, because my god, there's very little quality now. The characters aren't who they used to be. They seem overly exaggerated for comedic effect, and decent stories are often sacrificed for celebrity appearances. It makes me sad to see one of my favorite shows in such a state.I agree. The Simpsons only seems to be still around lately because of it's history, but the show is definitely going downhill.

The Treehouse of Horrors are good examples. The latest one (XXII) was the crappiest one yet, especially the first segment (The Diving Bell and the Butterball) with Homer getting paralysed after getting bitten by a spider and then communicating to Lisa through farting, and then for NO reason he becomes Spider-Man. The only "horror" in the episode was the fact they actually considered it worthy of a segment or episode for that matter. Apparently it was a spoof of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Out of all the films they could have spoofed, they chose THAT? Are they for real?!? Proof that they're not even trying anymore.
Dial D for Diddly was garbage as well. I never thought screwing up the premise of Ned becoming a Dexter-style serial killer could be possible, but they managed it somehow. The murders weren't even violent or shocking enough. I remember in earlier ToH episodes that violent deaths had a certain shock value (but somewhat funny at the same time) to them, like the giant blender scene in Nightmare Cafeteria, Willy getting axed in the back three times throughout V, the dolphin attacks in Night of the Dolphin and Homer getting his head splattered open in House of Whacks.
In the Na'Vi (parody of Avatar) was okay at best, but still wasn't good enough to save the entire episode. The intro with Homer chewing his arms off (parody of 127 Hours) was probably the best part of the entire episode. Overall, one of their worst yet and I can't see XXIII being any better. A spoof of Back to the Future sounds TERRIBLE, and although the Paranormal Activity spoof sounds interesting enough, they'll probably mess it up again just like every other recent ToH segment they've done.
Sorry for the really long post but yeah, rant over.
I haven't watched the Simpsons in years, it really does need to be put out of it's misery.Yup. Like I said, it's only around for the sake of history nowadays. Same with Family Guy which isn't funny anymore. The only show that still seems to be still funny nowadays is South Park. Yes, the style has changed alot but it still manages to be funny. American Dad is pretty solid as well. I don't know about Futurama since I haven't watched many of the new Comedy Central-era episodes.
I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but Spongebob really gets on my nerves. The first three seasons were good, but now the show is crap. And the fact that Nickelodeon airs hours of it every week only makes matters worse.
My god. (http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/tv/here-comes-honey-boo-boo)
I haven't watched Spongebob in a LONG time. Are the new episodes REALLY that bad?
The Simpsons went through the same thing, except they weren't strong right out of the gate. It took a season or two to get good, then the good run lasted like 8 or 9 years.When would you say the show went to hell? I have enjoyed it up until at least Season 10. Seasons 11-15 did have some good episodes in my opinion. Now it's just mediocre at best. Definitely showing it's age. I still like to collect the box sets though.

I never saw the Simpsons Movie, so I couldn't tell you how good that is.I personally enjoyed the movie, there were some enjoyable scenes. If you hate the post-Season 10 episodes though then you may dislike it. I can't really say for certain.

No wonder why, Rupert Murdoch owns a lot of media outlets there.
Raise your hand if you think Revolution is a shitty show! o/The previews looked awful. WHY ARE THEY USING CROSSBOWS ?! Seriously there were tons of guns that existed pre electrical. Use those
The whole "loss of electricity" thing is a VASTLY simplified explanation of the premise. From what I've read, not only has electricity stopped working, but something has shut down guns, internal combustion, etc., like in the novel "Magic Time" or S.M. Stirling's "The Change" series.
Even laying all that aside, very few people nowadays know how to make or maintain black-powder and similar guns. It would probably be easier to reverse-engineer crossbows than firearms.
Or use the guns that are lying around (stops internal combustion) how does that work?

Ammo is probably rather scarce 15 years after manufacturing ceased. It makes perfect sense that people use something with more readily available ammo for everyday use.
Like an iron/steel bolt...Scrap iron/steel would be quite easy to find and bolts can be made by hand with simple tools. Bullets, not so much.
The Simpsons went to shit right around when Family Guy started becoming popular.I personally think Family Guy has gone to shit as well. The first 3 seasons were the best. Even Season 4 and 5 were good. Season 6 however made me start to lose interest and Season 7 was the last straw for me. Now I mainly watch South Park instead. It's SO much funnier in my opinion.
Like an iron/steel bolt...Scrap iron/steel would be quite easy to find and bolts can be made by hand with simple tools. Bullets, not so much.
Family Guy still has a few bright points... the episode where Meg takes a level in badass after a 6 month stint in prison and finally gets payback on Peter for all his abuse, for one, and the episode where Stewie and Brian are stuck in the bank vault that results in a very frank discussion about suicide and the resulting aftermath? That one gets to me too.
Remember when Bob Sagat ran the show?
Then it was actually funny. But now, the entire show is easily replaced by Youtube/any other video site. Where you can find these exact same videos plus the funny ones.
How I Met Your Mother, there's a show who's time has come.
The last season of "South Park" was weak, so I think it's time for them to hang it up before they descend into "Family Guy" post-comeback levels of badness.
NFL Rush Zone: Season of the Guardians
American Football is already over-glorified enough as it is. Do we we really need a shitty superheroes version of it?
On NickToons, there's this show called NFL Rush: Season of the Guardians.That sort of show would be so much more interesting if American Football were replaced by some kind of blood sport (anything the Romans or Aztecs came up with should suffice).
Basically there's a villain that wants to end football forever and there's these kids who have football related superpowers who have been assigned to be the guardians of football.
Or at least that's what I gather from the commercials.
I know I've mentioned this before but it bears repeating; Spongebob Squarepants(click to show/hide)
Yep, defiantly time for it to go.

That sounds like possibly the worst idea for a show. They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel, aren't they??
The movie was supposed to be the series finale.
And it really should've been, too. I mean, I never liked Spongebob, but my boyfriend did... also until after the movie, now he hates it because of how it got ruined.

1. Fred: The Show. Anyone remember the obnoxious Fred video series on YouTube? The irritating guy whose voice is altered to be dramatically higher than usual? Yeah, it's a show now. It follows his life as a high school teenager who has painfully stupid conflicts, like forgetting to study for a history test. And yes, he's still got that awful voice. If there's one thing that makes me cringe, makes me wish I could listen to a chorus of nails on thousands of chalkboards, it's his voice. He's not entertaining in any way, and I can't imagine why anyone would willingly subject themselves to such absolute shit.
.....
hard for to make too many contributions since if I dont' lieka show I just stop watching it and forget it existed.
However... ghost hunters.
Seriously, do they ever have any other plot beyond "Did you hear that?" "Dude what is that sound" and "OMG THERE"S A NOISE!"
I mean one episode had them hearing a growling sound.. in a zoo. And they had no clue where it could be coming from.
And there's BEY BLADE
I still cant' believe they actually found a show dumber and more of an obvious half hour commercial then yu gi oh but they did.
It's friggin TOPS people! They don't have spirits, they aren't part of some ancient conspiracy to power, they are FRIGGIN SPINNING PIECES OF PLASTIC.

Just be glad there's no Social Justice Warrior "Power Hour" on TV...yet.
I definitely don't think they're on par. Shows like Leave it to Beaver and The Brady Bunch require some semblance of creativity since you have a variety of characters and storylines. Jersey Shore doesn't have that.
Shows that can stick around:
- Dan VS (It's very formulaic, but it works pretty well for the premise).
- MLP: FiM (not the best show in the whole wide world, but surprisingly good, a go-to show when babysitting, and certainly something I wish had been around when I was little)
- Adventure Time (Didn't watch it when it first came out, as it came out around the same time as similar shows that died of their own stupidity, but dang can those writers cram some intense feels into eleven-minute blocks, all hidden beneath the inherent strangeness of the series).
- Young Justice (If you liked Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, and Justice League, this show continues in that vein of good storytelling and animation).
I'm in my twenties, only the first show is technically in my age demographic, and they are all miles and miles beyond this crap below:
- Family Guy- it wasn't good when I was in middle school and liked that kind of 'humor', and it isn't good now.
- All of reality TV, in particular anything involving blue collar work or "redneck" "work", performing children, freaky families, or rich bitches bickering. If it's not staged, it's pathetic, and if it is staged it's pathetic and awful. The exception to the reality rule: Actual medical shows.
- Most news channels- celebrity news stories shouldn't be on the same channel as local events, reporters should report and not commentate, and what on earth happened to letting people finish what they're saying during an interview?
- Almost all of Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon's line-up. When "Doug" is better than some of that, you know your channel's gone sour.
- The Dog Whisperer- outdated, questionable, and dangerous training techniques, exaggeration, and flat-out misinformation about canine biology and behavior peddled with a sparkly smile and fake Mexican accent? Why, what could possibly go wrong if the general public tried this stuff? Keep in mind the big competitor (It's Me or the Dog) took the slow-and-steady approach, was brutally honest with her clients, and did NOT allow dogs to become violent, which is what I think killed the show.

I agree with most of this (except Adventure Time, which I've never watched), but...what's wrong with Doug? :(
Man, I used love Doug,even though the later episodes in my opinion were kinda crappy. That being said what is shown on Nickelodeon nowadays?? I haven't watched that channel in ages. I still watch Cartoon Network, even though I only watch one show on that channel for the most part on a regular basis (Star Wars:The Clone Wars), but every so often I do watch Adventure Time and The Regular Show.
The Big Bang Theory is pathetic. It tries waaaay too hard to be something it's not.
You know, I'd heard a lot of good things about The Big Bang Theory, but nobody told me what kind of show it was, so I was led to believe it was a little more.. intelligent. I was extremely disappointed when I actually watched it and found out it was... a sitcom... about what some screenwriter thinks geeks are like. Maybe it was just the episode I watched, but it seemed like all the jokes boiled down to "look how socially awkward these people are! Funny!"
I didn't even know there was a new Ninja Turtles...*has 80s cartoon flashback*

Actually, the new TMNT cartoon had a fight scene that was, shot for shot, an homage to a similar fight scene from the comics -- the ones that predated the cheesy cartoon we all know and love, and was known for being much darker and edgier.
I'm still not interested in it, but then my TMNT phase was short as a kid.

Autism symptoms before it was recognized as a spectrum disorder: trouble with empathy and social cues, limited range of interests, may not be fully developed emotionally. Symptoms of sociopathy: lack of empathy, may not be fully developed emotionally. Somebody who's unaware of the differences between them can really do damage.
The odd thing is both my sister and I are autistic. She likes Sheldon I want to kill the guy. His gag is he's autistic laugh at him.

Huh? I know the difference, In early episodes he was just weird and mildly annoying. Newer episodes the writers seem to be making him into an unlikable, irritating, ass.
We're living in a weird age where we currently have some of the best and deepest TV shows ever produced and yet at the same time we also have the most vacuous and shameful TV shows ever produced.

It is the best of times, it is the blurst of times?

I hate Modern Family

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

On that note, Parenthood. Holy hell, it's like the Hallmark Channel and the Lifetime Network had a baby.

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.

Oh, history channel... how far you've fallen... (O_O；)
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 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.
new girl, it's just so awful.
This hasn't aired yet, but it already needs to die.

I bet each woman has an EBT card. Paid for by the taxpayers of Georgia. I am afraid the people doing this arent outraged. They are standing in line to have another child. I know several males who have fathered football and baseball squads. Some arent even 30. The father has been replaced by Uncle Sams smaller and smaller pockets. God help the children
What is more pathetic is these are the ones that elected the sitting president as well. These are the ones that have turned our country into what it is today and obama the enabler continues to fuel the fire with his socialism.
The sad thing is the realtity will set in when the government ahs no more money. These people better get themselves a job and stop leaching off everyone. This goes for all the immigrants taht are pond #$%$ suckers as well!!
I won't be watching this one. I see it everyday at Wal-Mart and if that isn't enough I can go to the local welfare office and watch even more drama unfold.
Anyone watch Korra?
That does not need to die. I like locked up abroad sort of they honestly don't focus much on the prisons which is a shame
Well, this (http://tv.yahoo.com/news/jessica-simpson-to-star-in-tv-sitcom-about-her-life-195746621.html?cache=clear) looks fabulous.
I hate when people act like single motherhood is a new thing, both of my grandmothers were "baby mamas" and this was back in the 1940s, and 1950s.
Yard Crashers is the worst thing ever. It almost always results in all the grass being ripped up and replaced with a glamorous patio and other useless stuff, like waterfalls.

Eh, I can understand why some people would want to do this. Once a patio is in, you can basically forget about it except for cleaning and resealing every few years.

That too. It's sad because the project will be finished, and the family's poor dog wanders into the backyard and can't do a damn thing. Selfish pricks.
[Watches the latest episode of The Big Bang Theory]
Well, I'm joining the "BBT Sucks" club.
Posers, I was hating bbt before it was cool.I thought it was always cool?

Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares:
Look Gordon, it's had its day. We all know the real reason you're in America, it's because two of your London restaurants have failed and the other lost its Michelin star. That and the fact you lied about your time with Glasgow Rangers and the press are really interested in that. But it's the same fucking episode every time: You come in, the food is shite and you send it back, the chef has a hissy fit, you look for a way to humiliate the chef/owners and then the restaurant gets a transformation. Right, episode over, see you next week. Sorry, but The Hotel Inspector does it better and was on TV before you. Why not another series of The F Word instead? That was good and at least it was novel. This series is as stale as the food you send back.

I also like Restaurant Stakeout better than Kitchen Nightmares.
