TV Programmes you dislike for no reason

[Spoked Wheels]

Since there's already a "people you dislike for no reason" I thought I'd start a "TV Programmes you dislike for no reason" - "no reason" added for simplicity

Doctor who

East Enders

 

[zimzum42]

Ab Fab (Other than the fact it's shoot)

 

[DJ]

Eastenders +1

infact all soaps!

 

[Dayvo]

All soaps

All reality shows

Most American 'comedy' programmes

All 'talent' shows

 

[Aperitif]

Football "analysis" programmes where people gather together - sometimes in shirts, no ties, sometimes in shiny suits with huge knots in their ties and sometimes wearing a wooly jumper..They nod regularly and talk absolute boll*cks. (Well, I use the BBC Saturday lunchtime emission as a guide ). And Mark Lawrenson - the thinking man's er... um.
They all need to take lessons from Will Greenwood in Union or Paul Cullen perhaps, in League, about how to provide constructive appraisal of players and situations rather than backslap and hold out their hand for valuable BBC money - that could constructively be used toward er golf, horse racing um swimming or Formula One!

I sympathize with that! I used to have to do the subtitles for soccer saturday on Sky, nightmare!

 

[just jim]

"cash in the attic" type stuff with all that faked up barrow-boy bonhomie and terrible cafe chill style background muzak.

 

[wafflycat]

But I have a reason for disliking these - they're cr@p!

Big Brother/I'm a z-list celebrity get me in here type stuff
Those cruddy attic/house/buy/sell type programmes (apart from Grand Designs which is good)
Trisha/Kyle type whiney programmes
X-factor/ 'talent' type programmes
Soaps of any kind but especially Eastenders
Sports progammes (other than cycling), with football programmes being a particular dislike
Dr Who with Tennant as The Doctor
Quiz progammes apart from Mastermind
Badly written UK sit-coms
The Office (sorry, I don't get it, it's not funny, it's not ironic, it's just bad)

 

[LLB]

Any daytime TV

 

[alecstilleyedye]

Now, X-Factor... that you can keep.

Now you've got me started!!!

I work on nights with a lovely girl but she's addicted to bid up tv and that sort of thing does my head right in, the same presenter going on and on about great some cheap piece of crap is. She hogs the remote as well you can be sitting there watching something and suddenly the channel is changed and thats it, though I managed to hog it from her last week she wasn't impressed!

Also can't stand soaps and big brother, X factor and stuff like that.

"Enemadale Farm"

Great list PaulB - long, detailed, and impossible to take issue with a single entry.
