I watched a few episodes of the old reality TV show Bridezillas on stream once. It's everything people hate about reality shows in one package. The narcissistic personalities, the fake drama, the annoying side effects, the general trashiness. It's all there. The fact it ran for so many seasons is proof how awful that era was for TV.
Mr. Pickle and LA Beast (a youtube show). I could not watch Mr. Pickle at all; I had to turn away (too graphic). My friends had put it on randomly at a video game party. LA Beast they like to watch a lot. I don’t get why they want to watch someone eat weird food or too much and then… I know my sense of humor is lacking (I’m autistic), but even if I had a sense of humor, I don’t think it’s funny to see someone wasting food and making themselves sick when there are people starving :/.
Someone else mentioned this, but I also hate Ricky and Morty. It feels like it was written by a guy who never grew out of the angsty nihilism phase a lot of people had in high school and he wanted to make a show expressing his hatred of existence through endlessly cynical stories featuring two poorly veiled self inserts he voiced himself. I can thank this show for my first existential crisis. The neon oversaturated colors and mock family guy character designs just look awful too. I don’t know why nearly every cartoon aimed at adults needs to look so needlessly ugly. We need more shows like the Boondocks or Invincible visually.

I know what you mean about the character design. People now complain about Family Guy but at least that show still have characters that don’t make you want to gouge your eyes out to avoid looking at them. And I really really hate Rick and Morty for the entire McDonald’s Szechuan sauce thing and how everyone now claims it tasted so amazing. No it did not. I had some the first time it was released while Mulan was in theater and it was just okay at best. I barely remembered its existence for nearly 20 years just like everyone else. In fact literally no one even talked about that sauce until some stupid episode mentions it and then everyone acts like they remember that stuff and as if it was the greatest thing ever created. Family Guy has its own flaws but even then its characters purposely drawn to be ugly still look pleasing to look at in their own way. The Simpsons have characters that have bright crazy color schemes to them but they are still realistic looking enough to accept that they have their own unique world and the colors don’t cause visual pain. And remember this is a show where almost everyone is yellow and people there have vivid blue, green, and purple hair colors thorough out the show. Even Drawn Together had better looking characters and colors and that show was created mostly to push the limit of offensiveness. Rick and Morty keep having stupid plot ideas that everyone on the internet then go crazy about and act like said plot ideas are the meaning of life. Everything about Rick and Morty is just stupid and there really is nothing original about it as practically everything it has done another show had done before. It’s basically The Simpsons Did It First: The Show.
Holy crap this show is actually terrible. George Lopez Show was an awesome sitcom with some really heartfelt episodes and moments. But this show is ripped into the gutter and tries way too hard to feel cool with the current generation.
I tried watching Wednesday and couldn’t even get through the first episode. I know it’s pretty popular, but I wasn’t feeling it. (Maybe it’s because I watched The Munsters more than The Addams Family?) But the scene where she dumped the piranhas in the pool and didn’t get punished…? Wow.
I used to record Walker, Texas Ranger just to make fun of it. It was bad, but at least it was ridiculous enough to be unintentionally funny.
I don't watch many TV shows. But my bf watches some show called Yellowstone and I tried to watch it with him once. It was absolutely terrible! So corny.
Another time he was watching NCIS New Orleans. Also trash. Same with NCIS Los Angeles. Everyone was so annoying.
He binge watched something called Criminal Minds and that was also garbage.
Like I said, I don't watch many shows. In general, I refuse to watch sports, soap operas, musicals, singing/dancing competitions, those dumb shows where people watch internet videos and provide commentary, game shows, real estate/ remodeling shows, religious shows, anything political, and I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting.

Yeah the first few seasons were decent, but the show set itself up for this overarching plot and it goes seasons without addressing it. Also Morty's character development feels really off and they kept circling back on it. I still watch it to see how the overall story will end, but it fell from its prime and the writing has become stale and bad. It's kind of annoying how a lot of adult animations have to stick to the same formula of toxic people, everyone is miserable, and throw in a lot of cussing and potty humor for good measures.
Final Space kind of has the same art style as other adult animations, but I think that show was in the right direction and very good. Sadly it's the one good show that got cancelled for a tax write-off and it ended on a cliffhanger.
I also find Steven Universe annoying as a show. It started off promising with a slice-of-life show with some boy and his intergalactic gem-alien guardians. It should had kept that approach. Overall a bunch of small reasons, bad scheduling, poor writing, focusing on randomness...showing some overarching plot...and then reeling back to focus on some random shaky teenage romance made the show mediocre at best. Plus the fandom giving it accolades it did not deserve and becoming such a toxic pit when the show was about love and acceptance and the whole witchhunt on some child that drew Rose 'skinny' made me hate the show and the fans.

I think that the show got pretty messy in the middle of the second season but the final season sort of makes up for it with all of the reveals it had and the truth about Rose being Pink Diamond proved my theory that some sort of order always made Pearl gasp and cover her mouth and never saying a word after anyone mentioned Pink’s name whenever she was around. I noticed that Pearl did this during the first season and it was a very subtle hint that Rose had a major secret that involved Pink Diamond and it wasn’t about her being “shattered” either. Still the writers should have at least had Emerald make a couple more appearances since Jinkx Monsoon really wanted to voice a character on the show and obviously wanted that character to be more than a one time only deal. That went against what Rebecca Sugar had said about all of the characters on Steven Universe. She stated several times that there are no background characters or one time only characters (except for the crossover episode) and that every character has a major role in the entire show and we’d see every canonical character in more than one episode. The Snake People thing was never fully explained even though there was evidence that something was planned for them and that unnamed woman that gave Pearl her number never returned which goes against what Sugar had said would never happen in Steven Universe.

I actually liked season 1 with all the slice-of-life quirky stuff. Like Steven trying to make breakfast for his family and it turned horribly wrong. Serialized is not bad, but imo I thought they really nailed down the episodic lighthearted adventures. It just felt like the show wasn't sure what to do and kept flip-flopping between the two.
From what I remember they just episode dumped one day (Steven Bombs) and then peaced out for 1/2 a year or more. And it was a pain trying to hunt down the episodes or time it so I could watch them at that time which didn't happen and I gave up on the show around that time.
I feel like it could've worked, but it felt like Rebecca and gang didn't really have a plan in motion and its why the pacing felt so choppy.
There's a web comic called Ctrl + Alt + Del that had its own web series back in the mid 2000s. It's sad to report that it really sucks. Poor writing, poor production, bad animation, just very bad. It's on YouTube but I warn you, it's terrible.
I don't really watch a lot of shows that I find 'worse' mainly because once I know the premise and know it's not for me I never watch it. But there are some.
I'm glad there's a lot of people who also hate Johnny Test, whenever that did come on TV, I was just so done with the show. I can't remember if the sisters made it a little less painful, but only just. I have no memory really of this show, but I know for a fact I hated it.
I had to watch The Walking Dead in an English class in college and couldn’t sleep for two nights…maybe I’m emotionally a baby or something but it was way too graphic for me.
What sort of English class is this, and how do I join this particular class? Because, damn we never had that. Mice and men, boy in the striped pajamas, sure. I remember in Spainsh class we watched this 'show' of English teens going to live in Spain for a bit to learn Spainsh more (wish I could rewatch this, it actually seemed quite dramatic), or films about drugs. Hell in Maths we watched a film about a guy who would write calculations on a window. Never TWD.
Jokes aside on that though, it is pretty crazy to actually show The Walking Dead in English class. Regardless of the reason. Because, not everyone's cup of tea, and don't how it could affect some people. And the walkers aren't solely focused on humans, it's animals too. So even if someone could handle that, someone may not like what happens to the animals.
I'd say though, it's not the complete worse to me, but it has really gone down hill; I haven't seen the recent season yet because I am just not invested in it anymore.
It did used to be great, great characters, a kinda resonable plot and structure on what the group decided to do next. I did always feel like it lacked something though. I enjoy the aspect of a post apocalyptic plot because of the way the characters could survive, work together to create something better than what it used to be. And I think it lacked them trying to bring the world better, and work to create something for a group. Sure there were times they did (and in times it failed, which is realistic), but the clash between who the real antogonists of the show were, either humans or walkers. And when it was another group of humans, walkers were put on the back bench. Which is so crazy to me.
Like, I feel like if they wanted to keep their camp going, they needed to focus on minimizing how many walkers were still being an active problem. Like it wasn't just the bite of a walker that turned you. If you died of natural causes or anything, as long as it didn't affect the head area, you still turned. And you would think that to make sure your crops and animals still thrive if you get rid of as manu walkers as you could. So then, the only time you had to worry about people turning was when they died of natural causes and you could easily end it without worrying if there were other walkers nearby.
All in all, it should've ended a lot sooner. Hell, some of the characters have gone to Fear the walking dead! And I ain't getting into how that show when down hill too :/
Another show would be of course Velma.
I didn't watch this completely, I watched someone else watch it and hear their tortured soul as they dealt with the whole show for me~
Whether or not this show was created by someone who wanted to put herself in the show, making a huge disgrace on the scooby doo frandise or just made it just to hate on scooby doo; or both.
Didn't really work out for her. Tried to make Fred, the white, straight man the most hated; when actually he was the most tolerable, and had the only decent character growth throughout both series.
Just by watching the videos alone, the stuff that they desired more in the show, was then mocked in the show. Completely contradicted viewpoints and Velma was pretty much a mary sue at some points with the way she got away with SO MUCH.
I actually have been thinking of an idea that could've worked so much better for the show.
It's not a completely thought out idea, but I'll try and make my idea as simple as I can. Hell, might as well make a fanfic of it.
The first season of Velma's narrating basically said this is the start of the story of how the team got together, and it was mainly Velma who got them all together (whether or not they actually planned to show this in a 'future series' hell they probably forgot it.) I mean, we already got some films dedicated to how they all met.
But my idea was going to be a lil different but similar to them coming together. Expect, my idea actually has them not being the original mystery gang. 'Velma' isn't exactly Velma, but a massive fan of the original mystery gang. In my idea, it's been literal years since the mystery gang have passed away (old age etc), but 'Velma' was so in love with them, she loved Velma the most and would dress up as her. Thought she was quite smart. And she wanted to try and make her own scooby gang. Trying to bring these other people together to 'play' as the Fred, Daphne, Shaggy; who just weren't so friendly. And while she tries to solve mysteries, trying to bring them along even thought they aren't these people, she still needs help from them either way.
Hell, in this idea I thought it was be good if 'Shaggy' did have some sort of drug addiction. Which isnt good by any means, and would definitely change the whole character. Shaggy has always been played around as if he is high. In that one movie they try and make us hate Srcappy, they made fun at the smoke in the van, when all it was, was Shaggy cooking. And not getting high.
i just thought this idea would be a lot more interesting. You have a fangirl who wants to be Velma, and causes a lot of angst by forcing people to team up with her to solve mysteries when they just arent friends. But could be the longer they stay together. And the fact that they all have their own unique skills to bring to the table, like the original gang.
Also, them all being rich has seriously been overplayed so much, I want a scooby gang to like live out of the van because they have no money, get odd jobs to use it for food and gas for the van. Struggle a little while solving mysteries!!
Okay, one show I have tried watching and just hates was Misfits (2009-2013)
I only watched this because of Robert Sheehan, my beloved. But honestly, I just stopped watching. If it wasn't for Robert, I would've left this show in the dust instantly.
It just feels kinda unrealistic in terms of they get powers by some lighting, and there was hardly any government, officals worried about this? If that lighting was irrelgular, they would've picked it up. Hell, not only do the main characters get random assed powers, other individuals do too, and they just live with it? Totally normal monday morning??
I get sterytypically British people are seen as not overally worrying or caring, but really? One character, his mums boyfriend got a power to turn into some wolf thing that attacks people, and no one calls the police about a wild animal attacking?!!?
One character's powers is that if they touch her, they go into a sexual frenzy towards her. Which she used to her advantage because of how terrible she is; but it also showed the bad side to that - which im glad they did show that.
I had to watch The Walking Dead in an English class in college and couldn’t sleep for two nights…maybe I’m emotionally a baby or something but it was way too graphic for me.
Completely unrelated to the thread as I can’t think of a show but I had to watch the woman in black in English once as like an end of term reward. I was only about 12 and just moved into a new house, couldn’t sleep properly for weeks

Oh god this brought back memories of watching Saving Private Ryan in my class. One of the kids next to me passed out as the medic was dying and his friends were trying to save him. Scared the heck out of me. I thought he was having a seizure because he started to convulse. I ran to the nurse and the nurse was just like 'Yeah ok whatever.' lol!
—Maury (it got me through some sicknesses, but ordinarily, I wouldn’t have tuned in lol.)
—Kocktails with Khloe (reality TV, but it still sucked)
—Watch What Happens Live (another reality talk thing, but I can’t stand Andy Cohen so there’s that)
—Judge Steve Harvey (Jarvis Johnson has some funny reactions to it, though.)
—The Drew Barrymore Show
—The Kelly Clarkson Show
—The View. I used to love it lol. I haven’t seen it in a while, but here’s what J remember: Whoopi has gotten away with anti-Semitism and defending rapists for too long. Joy has been relying on “the old lady said a dirty word haha” forever, and it’s tiresome. Sara acts like a ditz and it’s sad to watch. Sunny is smart, but always inserts herself into every story, even when it’s a stretch. Your mom’s from Mississippi? My second cousin once-removed drive through there once. You’re a Jennifer Coolidge fan? I had a dream where I met her. You’re Asian? I drive a Toyota. And on and on. She also advocated for smashing dishes just to scare your husband. Everyone laughed. Domestic violence isn’t funny. You know…if the genders were reversed…she’d be fired in a heartbeat. Meghan McCain was horrible. She insulted everyone yet couldn’t take constructive criticism herself. She also thought yelling would somehow win an argument. There were times she said some racist stuff (like Obama starting a “culture war”) and never faced consequences for it. She had to make discussion about the weather a fight. Like, why? Why do you have to “win” all the time?
However, I think Ana Navarro is funny and makes good points. She could have her own show.
—Dr. Phil. I don’t know if that show is still on, because I stopped tuning in a long time ago. I used to watch it after school (high school and early college), and thought I was learning things from it. I tuned into dramatic episodes like the House of Hate and Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s prison interview, but otherwise I thought it was funny. I used to love seeing annoying kids get sent to THE RANCH. In retrospect, I feel horrible now that Turnabout Ranch has been exposed for some abusive practices.
Looking back, Dr. Phil didn’t have the best advice and he exploited mentally ill people on his program. (especially Shelley Duvall and Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend) Also the story of Todd Herzog is distressing. The audience clapping and laughing whenever he disses people with problems is sick. Almost like a gladiator arena or freak show. Or two in one. I hope it’s off the air.

It was an apocalyptic/end of the world literature class at my community college. We mostly read short stories and a novel, and never really watched anything, so that shocked me.
One show that I cannot stand at all is Friends. Everyone on that show except Jennifer Aniston are some of the worst actors I’ve ever seen. And the fact that almost the entire cast h aside from Jen hasn’t had multiple hit movies that weren’t part of a series or sequels is really saying something right there. I didn’t even feel bad when it was announced that Matthew Perry had died. I still don’t understand why anyone would like that terrible show. Not to mention the homophobia and transphobia its episodes promoted and people act like there’s nothing wrong with it because it was a sitcom from the 90s. That is total bull as Soap handled gay jokes very well for a sitcom and that came out in the 70s. Even South Park and Family Guy handled the subject of gender reassignment surgery better than Friends and that is really saying something right there.

THIS. I havent watched friends other than like 5 random episodes that have been on TV. I tried watching it from the start a couple months ago and got like 3 episodes in before stopping. I just found it really boring and unfunny, the laugh tracks really put me off when the jokes weren't hitting

Fuller House did the same thing to me. I literally quit fifteen minutes into the very first episode. I tried so hard to just let the show do whatever it was trying to do and give it a chance but as soon as everyone started to do that NKOTB dance, I was like “I’m out” and I just pushed the escape button and left. I remember my sister tried to get me to watch one episode of Friends when I was in fifth grade and there was some really stupid joke about a recline chair and she was laughing and I flat out told her that wasn’t funny at all and really stupid. She just brushed it off as me being too young to understand the joke. I was eleven and I was able to understand the humor in Mrs Doubtfire perfectly well.
