FTA-TV Shows you refuse to watch

[Dont be a lemon]

Today Tonight
A Current Affair

 

[Shell]

Same here.

I'm a simple fellow. I'll watch these for the blonde chicks.

I didnt mind The Project either, but now it's gone to a one hour format I've lost interest. Half hour was better imo.

 

[HARKER]

Today Tonight
A Current Affair

Forgot they still existed.
My understanding is that they've gone backwards from the last time I watched them 5+ years ago.
That's really saying something.

Wild Boys (thankfully axed)
Underbelly

Shows others have already mentioned, two and a half men, the project

Recent seasons of Bones - was a great show, but the writers couldn't decide what to do with Bones/Booth and ****ed it up at around season 3.

Random Breath Testing - what riveting TV...

CSI Miami - Its beyond me how this boring drivel is still on. I'd rather watch Parliament question time.

The Gruen Transfer - I don't have anything against the show itself, but I cannot stomach that supreme pretentious w***er Todd Sampson, he is more of a w***er than his mate Will Anderson.

 

[Pera]

I pay for the Foxtel at home but after 9pm, the mrs takes control with channel E and Arena. Her shows just make me want to cut myself:

- Bridezilla's
- Four Weddings
- Real Housewives of OC, LA and any other crappy place in America
- Kendra
- Giuliana and Bill

Why anyone could give a s**t about how others live their lives is beyond me.

 

[Broken]

Glee. I can't understand why it seems so popular. The Channel 10 "Sneak Peeks" that constantly run turn me right off.

 

[Big Wilbur]

Any show with this bloke in it...

Good news week or world (simply because I can't stand Mikey Robbins)
Australia's got talent/X-Factor

Anything with this bloke in it...

Two and a half men (staggered that this was a hit)
Glee
Terra Nova (tried the first few episodes....absolute rubbish)

Staggered that some have listed Law and Order. Certainly the original was a great show...not so much all the offshoots.

 

[Vincent Chase]

Would take me too long to list them all.

Pretty much everything on FTA, except Sport and Survivor.

Although i thought it might be a good thread for me to vent this:

BRB KEEPING 239874 CRIME/INVESTIGATION SHOWS ON WHILST WE CANCEL/END SPICKS AND SPECKS.

 

[Kong]

Glee. I can't understand why it seems so popular.

Yeah, spot on.

When I was in high school you would've been branded a complete loser for liking that show.

Now, everybody loves it.

 

[THRILLHO]

Yeah, spot on.

When I was in high school you would've been branded a complete loser for liking that show.

Now, everybody loves it.

I don't know any straight male that watches it. My work friends (bunch of girls and a gay guy) are always having Glee parties. I am honestly struggling to think of something worse than that. Maybe taking a bath with a s**t.

The Office (US)
Bones
Castle
Modern Family

I hope you're not avoiding US Office out of some sort of misguided loyalty to the UK version. Gervais is an executive producer and once you get past the turgid first season the show is as good if not better than the UK version (insert incredulity from UK fans who haven't seen US version here).

Grey's Anatomy
Law & Order
CSI
X-Factor
Australia's Got Talent
Celebrity __________
Sunrise
Packed to the Rafters
Home & Away
Criminal Minds
Pseudo-documentary style reality shows:
-RBT
-Airport
-Bondi Vet
-etc
Two and a half Men
Mike & Molly
Jersey Shore
So You Think You Can Dance
The Project
Rove LA

That's just a common sense list.

Except I don't mind watching a procedural crime drama like Law & Order once every two months or so. There's something about the predictable narrative arc and restoration of justice that's enjoyable and relaxing to watch.

Today Tonight
A Current Affair

Hilarious to watch. I'm a big believer in TV definitely turned down for dinner, but when no-one's home I'm a sucker for this s**t (emphasis needed).

 

[CLUBMEDhurst]

Today Tonight
A Current Affair

Whassa matter AA, got no time for quality investigative journalism?

 

[grimlock]

Any CSI
Any NCIS
Any Law & Order
JAG

Yep, basically I'm biased against acronyms.

It simply lacks the subtlety of the UK version. I've tried it and whilst I understand other people liking it, it just doesn't do it for me.

 

[Great 2008]

I would not give a toss if my TV was stolen prefer tunes. (Excepting if it is footy season).

Would have to say Home and Away, Neighbours, Today Tonight & A Current Affair are very high on the list though.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Anything reality TV, including the 'talent' shows and cooking and building shows.

Throw in:
-HIMYM
-Big Bang Theory
-Packed to the Rafters
-Offspring
-CSI
-Law and Order
-Merlin
-Deal or No Deal
-Gossip Girl

Neighbours/H&A and TT/ACA go without saying.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Anything created by Chuck Lorre. The guy is a hack, yet somehow his shows become the highest rated.. such as Mike and Molly.

 

[Shell]

I pay for the Foxtel at home but after 9pm, the mrs takes control with channel E and Arena. Her shows just make me want to cut myself:

- Bridezilla's
- Four Weddings
- Real Housewives of OC, LA and any other crappy place in America- Kendra
- Giuliana and Bill

Why anyone could give a s**t about how others live their lives is beyond me.

Yeah that is particularly s**t. (Four Weddings can be a laugh sometimes).

If she starts watching a show called "Love Triangle" RUN. Saw it last night, have never been more bored in my whole life...

 

[damochandler]

xfactor really if they weren't noticed before they went on the show. going on a karaoke show doesn't make them any better
home and away
glee
packed the rafters. what's so good about it. nothing really

4 bogan weddings

[damochandler]

what's wrong with law and order and csi shows

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Has anyone said Everybody Loves Raymond yet? I don't know what it is, but I just can't stand the show. The fifteen episode cycle of reruns playing on TV makes me want to punch myself in the balls just to distract myself from seeing it.

 

[vast]

survivor
amazing race
glee (which i guess is normal for someone who isnt female or gay)
Any news programs - especially news breaking stories unless you are gonna tell me that the country has been invaded or we are all in danger, dont bother
most australian made tv series or shows
masterchef
the block (i really hate that show)

 

[damochandler]

[raven echo]

MasterChef
X-Factor
Australia's Got Talent
Packed to the Rafters
Glee
Anything involving a member of the Kardashian family
