Most annoying/dumbest in tele.

[OneMarcilV]

My choice and I have many is reality shows.

 

[John Galt III]

All the game shows are intolerably boring and annoying, with the possible exception of Jeopardy. And then there's about 8 different boring as heck shows like Dancing with the Stars, America's got Talent, and on and on and on. I guess the number one most torturingly boring show must be The Bachelor. Who. Watches. This. Crap?

 

[pacergal]

Definitely "Reality" shows. Whose reality is it??

 

[Amethyst]

Well, for one, a clever, resourceful, ER'd friend of mine, who loves all the romance shows. She knows they're fake, and yet loves to criticize the participants.

[Aerides]

The Bachelor, Bachelorette, and BIP are terrible horrible shows but perfect television. As are all the Real Housewives. Absolutely atrocious people with zero self awareness can be quite compelling. They have all been played out though, after 15-20 years.

The most perfect of all was Love is Blind, on netflix, which was an absolute trainwreck of the worst people, and I loved every single minute of it.

 

[ivinsfan]

Well a really odd thing happened to me. Never had cable and signed up with Hulu..wouldn't you know it, suddenly I found myself watching Million Dollar listing NY and LA. I know it's complete rubbish but I just can't help myself.



And yes Aerides I know it's a terrible, horrible fake show, but yes it's perfect.

 

[Dtail]

Don't watch any reality shows, but sometimes one doesn't have to in order to get entertained by craziness.

 

[aja8888]

All the pre and post sports game shows that usually host about 6 ex players and last for hours and spout out questionable opinions on what may or may not happen, what should have happened and anything else that comes into their pea-sized brains. This is worse than "daytime soaps" in my opinion.

I like seeing shows from slightly back in time. Like You Bey Your Life with Groucho Marx, Password with Alan Luden, To Tell the Truth with Gary Moore, The Names the Same tooth Robert Q Lewis, and What’s My Line with John Charles Daly.

Now there are some remakes 0f these same shows. Well……..Not good. There are as bad as the reality shows.

AGREE 100%. Very good reply. I have a friend that loves these programmes.

I know who. The networks. Wasting electricity and time on these shows. Another show advertised in called La Brea. In the announcement this is a so called a highly rated show.

People are getting weirder and weirder looking at this junk.

Agreed. The game is played, watched. Why does there have to be a recap that wastes air time?

I looked at the Buffalo-Kansas City match yesterday. Game ended I changed the channel.

OK the Super Bowl. Do we need a 5 hour pre game show. Like noooooooo.

Her needs to get a life.

 

[ivinsfan]

What, a person can't spend an hour or two a week just chilling on bad TV..it's just like junk food, a little bit every once a awhile won't kill you.

 

[OneMarcilV]

I guess. I usually don’t keep my air conditioner on that low to chill. So if her is chilling tell her to turn the air conditioner up.

I suppose somebody must be watching it since the advertisers are paying for it. Not me though, and no one I know. Oh, wait, yes there is that one dumb BIL....

That shows how society has been downgraded to look at these shows.

“Naked and Afraid”

This is absolutely the bottom of the barrel. And there are people employed to just blur out the particular naked bits that can’t be shown on tv.

 

[GalaxyBoy]

As the comedian Gallagher said, “I wish there was a knob on the TV so you could turn up the intelligence. They got one marked "brightness" but it don't work, does it?”

 

[rodi]

Not all reality shows are the same.

Survivor, one of the oldest reality shows would fall in the enjoyable category for me. I've watched since the beginning.

I'm much more annoyed by 1) soap operas 2) game shows- including celebrity ones like dancing with the stars. Fake Judge shows (I'm talking about you Judge Judy), Talk shows that cater to SAH women... The view, The Talk, Ellen, Kelly Clarkson....

Give me a good crime detective drama...

 

[MichaelB]

I get all the reality shows I need from my in-laws.

On Oct 3 the Tampa Bay Buccaneers played the New England Patriots at 8:20 PM at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA. As I’m sure you’re aware, this was a very big deal because it was Tom Brady’s first game against his old team and was on the Pats’ turf to boot.

“Pre-game coverage” on one of the local Boston stations began at 5:30 AM!

Did we need that long of pregame nonsense. No.

 

[Mmm Rrr]

As the comedian Gallagher said, “I wish there was a knob on the TV so you could turn up the intelligence. They got one marked "brightness" but it don't work, does it?”

I watch (on Youtube) a group of British comedians who appear on various game shows: QI, 8 out of 10 Cats, the Big Fat Quiz of the Year, (the original) Taskmaster, etc. The shows are often silly, but the brightness is turned up. I laugh and often learn something.

And yes Aerides I know it's a terrible, horrible fake show, but yes it's perfect.

If you have netflix, I recommend Selling Sunset. It's like both of those, with botox.
