Stuff you don't need to see on tv...

People screaming "oh my God" about anything.

People saying they sense ghosts in any way, anywhere.

Sharks; any other fish or creature but the subject of sharks has been exhaustively 'examined', daft fictional movies exempted.

Any more serial killer profiles... there must be ten times enough with just re-runs from now.

Choreography of any assemblage of people all doing the same 'moves' outside vintage videos or actual dance programs.

Magnetic items promoted as having miraculous health properties.

Dramatic time limits in competitive baking, decorating, wood working, buying/selling or making of things shows.

Anything about the 1940s in Roswell, New Mexico.

Got your own?

 

For me, any reality show about hunting cryptids, looking for precious metals, sharp swords, cooking competitions, etc.

 

Vomiting. Seems like a lot of directors think this is something people like to see, but it annoys me. Especially if I'm eating when it happens.

 

Seinfeld.

 

MOST CURRENT SITCOMS

 

Country Awards show...

 

Most network television shows because the suck.

 

The Oscars : )

 

I can't stand them...

 

You know what, once you've found Bigfoot, the Yeti, the Loch Ness monster etc. let me know and then, and only then will I willingly tune in.

 

Graphic medical procedures.

 

Hearing politicians constantly & ubiquitously lying, lying lying...

 

Any drug advertisements that promote benefits along with side-effects including sudden death.

 

In nearly 64 years of living, I've never had this many choices before in my life, including changing what I watch and turning it off. No point in complaining these days.

 

This guy gets it.

 

Anyone saying something is DY-NO-MITE and to call NOOOOOWWWWWW.

 

Across the street, our neighbors keep bringing up Dr. Pimple Popper.

We'll stay on our side of the street, m'kay...?

 

All of it. Just the whole lot.

Rip it up and start again.

EG.

 

"You have to believe me!" Heard at least once in every episode of Smallville.

 

Oprah

 

Gratuitous violence, fictional violence for general entertain, graphic news.

I think there's a lyric in a Bruce Springsteen song about x number of channels and nothing on... which is almost true for me. Yeah, there are loads of channels today, but how many are even remotely connected to their original specialization if they got on there that way, and how many never stoop to yet another 'marathon' of some recent series already aired multiple times on multiple other channels?

When I was young (by cracky), we had ten channels and there was almost always something new worth watching on one (young fellers), and I say today compares fairly badly with only a very few channels excepted. I was in a border city that got Canada and U.S. stations and had it really good. In England they only got three channels at best in the 1970s... but the quality ratio was fairly high.

There are definitely some good new shows out there however, but you can't blame them for being hard to find sometimes... and I guess I'm mostly saying they tend not to be competitive masked dancing flipper ghost sharks screeching "'Oh my God" a lot.

 

Housewives being real.
