I was looking at the lists of favorite TV shows and it got me thinking.. are there any shows that everyone seems to love but you can't stand? Anything you think is overrated/stupid/not funny/etc?

For me, the ones I can't stand are: -Big Bang Theory -2 Broke Girls -Two and a Half Men -Most reality shows (some competition shows are ok, but I'm mostly talking about people's lives that are supposedly interesting enough for a TV show)

travelbug I used to LOVE Family Guy and now I just think it's ok. It used to be a lot better, plus I think my sense of humor has changed as I've gotten older. I do still like it (and American Dad, Cleveland Show was just ok. I admit Bob's Burgers is a GP show of mine.. so stupid but so funny, lol), but I can see why other people don't!
HoneySpider I don't think I could get into Modern Family. Sofia Vergara bugs the crap out of me!
estrellita My H loves Family Guy so it's on quite a bit in our house. I can see why people find it funny, it's just not my kind of humor. I have never even heard of Bob's Burgers lol!
Most reality shows I hate, but reality medical shows like on TLC are cool. I also like Duck Dynasty. Legal/crime dramas (Law and Order, CSI, the like) Modern medical fiction shows, like Grey's, House, etc. I used to like ER and now I don't for this reason. They never get it right. Historical medical shows like The Knick and Dr Quinn are better.

travelbug It's on Sundays with the rest of those animated shows, kind of along the same lines but it's not Seth McFarlane (I'm pretty sure, I don't even know anymore, lol). I don't purposely turn it on most of the time, but I can't help but watch it if it happens to come on the TV!

I can't do the adult animated shows, I've NEVER seen an eps of The Simpsons and I'm proud of it. I don't like reality shows like the ones on MTV, the Housewives type shows or Honey Boo type shows. It's not all reality tv, I do like Top Chef type shows, Proj Runway, Andrew Zimernam, those types.
I can't stand The Mindy Show and @stargazer, I liked The Office at first and then it just got on my last nerve. I don't like political drama shows either, well, would you consider The Good Wife a political drama? The ones I mean are like White House type shows. I'm sure there are others but they aren't coming to mind right now.
For me, the ones I can't stand are: -Big Bang Theory -2 Broke Girls -Two and a Half Men -Most reality shows (some competition shows are ok, but I'm mostly talking about people's lives that are supposedly interesting enough for a TV show)
I can only agree with the reality shows and 2 and 1/2 men. I lurve me some BBT and I like 2 Broke Girls even though last season sux.

DH is loves Family Guy too. The world stops on Sundays at 9pm to 9:30pm. I think it's funny but it's not something I would watch on my own.

I tried to like BBT. I feel like it's a show I "should" like. But I just can't. The main guy's voice alone annoys me, not to mention his character's annoying attitude. The one girl on 2 Broke Girls annoys me too. I think I have a weird voice thing, haha.

jjwritergirl I don't like Dr Who either! H started watching it and I just couldn't get into it at all. I don't get the hype. Also, what don't you like about OUAT? I thought it was weird at first but I love it now haha.

My husband hated BBT at first too and Sheldon annoyed the Fuck out him, but he watched an older rerun withe me about Sheldon explaining why Superman couldn't have caught Lois and he was hooked. LOL
There are times where I just turn 2 broke girls off because it can be annoying, thank god last night's esp only featured Kim Kardashine for like 5 seconds at the end because otherwise I wouldn't have watched it. I watch it more for Kat, I like her (can't remember the last name, too lazy to google.)

I'd storm off, but I haven't been here long enough for anyone to notice. ^o)

The blonde one? She's not so bad. I saw her on Ellen and she didn't totally annoy me, haha.
I really wanted to like BBT because Wil Wheaton has been on there and I love him! Oh well, I'll watch Eureka reruns to see him

Haha.. sorry I have a few friends that would probably hate me forever if they knew I didn't like it! We started with the first season of the "new" version, and apparently it gets better, but I would have a hard time sitting through the first ones!

The brunette is who I meant. The blonde gets on my nerves. LOL
I miss Eureka. Do you watch Haven? The Sheriff was in last season of Haven, but he was bad.
If you're up for it, try Dr. Who again. It does get better and eventually you come to love the champions as much as the The Doctor.

I agree 100%. These are not funny shows?! How were they not cancelled seasons ago?
Other decidedly unfunnies: Everybody Loves Raymond Seinfeld (OMG I get it, you love the sound of your voice, Jerry. Also applicable for George.) somehow I have still seen like, all the episodes.
Hated: Breaking bad Dexter (Can't stand the characters in either show). The bridge (too dark) Grey's anatomy (too much whining) Girls (too awkward)

Skyesthelimit1212 Do you mean shows like The West Wing and JAG? I'm not a fan of those either. I liked the original Law & Order and SVU, but I get all the spinoffs mixed up.

West Wing i don't do, i do like NCIS. I miss L&W i can't stand SVU, wayyyyyyy to depressing and i feel like a need a Silkwood shower after lol
H loves all of those History Channel shows: Pawn Stars, American Pickers, Restoration Whatever, Auction Crap... For some reason I just can't stand them. He wants to have them on all the time, but I can only handle a few episodes at a time before I get really annoyed by having to listen to them.

My in laws watch all these shows! H (and apparently also his BFF and BFF's wife) got really into Gold Rush. I have zero interest in any of these shows, haha.
