Programs you just know are sh£t

[Supine]

Anyone have any tv program's you never watch because the trailers or names tell you everything you need to know? For me:

2 Broke Girls on E4. I couldn't stand watching 10 seconds of it, because the trailers are so unfunny and over acted.

Man vs Food. No idea what this is about. Just seeing the name when I flick through channels puts me off watching.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Man vs Food is great! All hail Adam Richman!!

Pointless Celebrities.... Wtf

Pointless Celebrities.... Wtf

The news

 

[DotCommunist]

I tend to read a program blurb before dismissing it. Scrapheap Challenge by name aone sounds like some crap program where people try to get their knackered motors valued at more than scrap.

but it totally isn't

TOWIE
Keeping up with the Cardigans
Britain's Next Top Model (even though my cousins wife was a runner up)
Anything WWF
MOTD


TBH I dont watch much tv, but when I pass through the lounge and the wife / kids are watching this crap it makes me realise that i'm not missing out.

Don't Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23

But

One of the things we were talking about was the movie that I wrote at the end of the first season, the cop drama Fingered. I always thought it would be great if at some point James decided to turn it into Fingered: The Musical. I thought, that's something that the world needs to see.

Is van der beek taking about it.

Have you watched it? I know nothing about it..

In the last ten years I think I've only ever watched an occasional game of football. Itv truly is sh£t

My stock response to people at work discussing this kind of scornography is that if you took a Maasai tribesman, or someone from the Amazon and showed them *your* wedding and a BFGW they wouldn't be able to tell the fucking difference because they're practically identical save for a very small number of cultural/class identifiers that *you* put a lot of stock in but are essentially meaningless in the grand old scheme of things. Then I print out a crossword and take it into the storeroom to do it in peace.

 

[Yetman]

Soaps. All of them.

 

[wtfftw]

Have you watched it? I know nothing about it..

Yeah. I quite liked it but prefer Suburgatory which e4 showed just after or before and probably also had no viewers.
I'd normally have a spliff first and I suspect that had a significant impact on my TV choices.

Can't abide the 'reality' (in 200 inverted comma's) programmes - Big Brother, Life with Kardashians/Jessica Simpson/ Peter Andre/whatever micro-sleb, Made in Chelsea, Geordie Shore, Jeremy Kyle..or the XFactor / BGT exercises in ritual humiliation.
There's a new show being advertised, which actually looks like and all-time low - Party House.
(...but I love 2 broke girls!)

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Question Time. "Tonight's episode features Sajid Javid MP, Harriet Harman MP, Kirsty Williams AM, Billy Bragg and Sir Martin Sorrell." And I still watched it (though only for a few minutes before I couldn't take it any more.)

 

[DownwardDog]

Top Gear. I love cars. I mean, I really fucking love them and obsess over them during every waking moment, but I can't abide TG.

 

[Virtual Blue]

Dr Who - cheap and nasty.

 

[8115]

Anything with motorway cops, anything with border police.

Shit but good

 

[pesh]

anything with a premium rate phone number attached that you're encouraged to call

I'm not repeating my previous moment of madness.
