Friends.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I never got the appeal of either one. They're not just terrible, they're epically-terrible...unwatchable. Crap.

Especially "Friends". I would say that about the vast majority of reality shows on TV these days, too. The only two exceptions I can think of right now are "America's Got Talent" and "Wipeout", the latter of which is actually a game show.

Eight freakin' years of Balki? Who needed that?

(on edit) Seinfeld, however, well, there we must disagree.

It was kind of cute of first but the one joke "fish outta water" premise wore thin quick.

Eight YEARS? Dang.

One of my favorite shows of all time. I'll agree it could probably have ended a year before it did though

It was good in the beginning. But, when Margret Houlahan started sporting Farrah hair you knew they weren't even trying anymore.

The laugh track on that show always freaked me out.

Lost

American Idol

well...I guess, thats the two that jump out to me.

Survivor, Three's Company, Buffy Vampire Slayer.

Frasier: Great show in the '90s, but it went on about three years too long.

Happy Days: Jumped the shark way before it went off the air.

That's got to count for something.

I watched one episode of Frasier and did not find it funny in the least.

That should have died right after the theme song

Columbo.
Walker, Texas Ranger
Family Guy
King of the hill
Sesame street.

The early-mid 1990s were the 'golden years' of the show. Absolutely classic stuff.

They should have put it down early in the last decade.

He has a lot (A LOT) of Simpson action figures that takes up space in an entire closet. He's still getting around to Ebaying them. Individually, it'll take awhile. We also used to have coasters... A Ralph Wiggum plush doll, a Homer Simpson head/rubik's cube, etc.

The movie sort of revived it and it's been gradually getting better - the last couple seasons have had some really good episodes, but it will never match the Phil Hartman era.

Horrible or not, that's a long time.

could not believe the hype over the final episode.

There is not ONE mental widget eeny weeny teeny peeny man on that show that I can suffer for more than 5 seconds.

That is one that boyfriend walks alone.

There must be special tank farms somewhere where they grow those people.

I could go on.

Ten seasons of six boring people.

Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, Captain Kangaroo. I couldn't believe how long some of these went on. Even my kids wouldn't watch them.

I can't believe you people are saying Friends, Lost, and even ... gasp .... Seinfeld. Those are Citizen Kane compared to Three and a Half Men.

Better shows came and went while that dreck stayed on the air for EIGHT YEARS!

And I think its appeal and longevity sparked a hundred imitations of the show that seemed to be on everywhere I turned -which were, even though it's hard to believe, even worse than the dreck that was "According to Jim"

Just kill it already!

It was a great show, but it should have ended at least a couple of seasons ago. The kid is an adult now!

It stunk on ice.

I found it both brilliant and timely with the parallels to the Iraq war and aftermath.

By stealing names, characters, and such, they showed just how bloody lazy they are.

the real stinker on ice. Oy. SO corny and terrible.

So why take such a corny show, "grit-ify" it, and then throw it against the wall and hope it sticks?

I actually enjoyed "Buck Rogers" more, same guy who did the first BG, but didn't take the whole premise so seriously.

the new BSG is an exceptional exception to the rule.

Thought I was the only one that hated that show.

How about America's Funniest Home Videos...

Saturday night live should end already, too...

When they wern't fixated on the "shot to the balls."

The animal videos could be a riot.

Nowadays 90% of the show are shots to the crotch.

baby cutsie cutsie and/or staged crap.

don't get me wrong, I liked the first couple of years but then they outstayed their welcome.

And I have some friends who are in medical school or have graduated - they loathe Grey's Anatomy. House is the medical show of choice among med students - a lot of the cases submitted to the show are from real doctors.

As for CSI the reason I have for the show being unbearable is around the fifth season they switched from actually solving murders to "let's find the weirdest sexual fetishes we can find and base entire episodes around that."

designer clothes (with sky-high heels for the women) with nothing covering their hair and doing all their analysis in rooms dark and moody enough for a hipster bar.

I liked or loved damn near every show mentioned in this thread.

Guess there is an insatiable market for tired jokes and canned laughter.

So in the last few years, I've caught up with the sitcoms I missed. It's like opening a time capsule.

The morning DJs Kevin & Bean have a serious hatred for 2 1/2 Men and The Big Bang Theory and a couple years ago frequent contributor Ralph Garmin ran an actual laugh track vs. the studio laugh track and the actual laugh track was every 4 minutes vs. every 30 seconds. It was a pretty funny experiments and the rants were more entertaining than the aforementioned shows.

from the bottom of a well with mouths full of cotton balls.

They are all awful without exception. Just do not see the appeal of them.

I don't like the characters. I consider them vulgar. This is what Hollywood thinks working class America is like: full of fat stupid liars.
