are there television shows you just can't seem to get into no matter how hard you try?

Sex and the City is one of them for me. Although I never really tried to watch it. I just get past the first 8 seconds of the beginning credits and can't continue watching.
This goes for Gilmore Girls too.

Dexter. Everyone loves it and it sounds like something I would like, I just can't seem to watch it.

I am totally with you on that. I have never understood the popularity of Sex in the City and pretty much cringe anytime I see Sarah Jessica Parker.

I can't watch any of the CSI series. I tried watching a couple of different CSI episodes and was completely bored.

I can't be bothered with most reality series. I admit to watching America's Next Top Model, which is really strange for me. I don't even know if I like the show, I just can't stop watching it for some reason. The only other reality show I've been watching is Last Comic Standing. I'm a fan of stand up comedy though, so that one doesn't surprise me.

One Tree Hill is ridiculous to me. Sophia Bush's voice makes me want to tear my ears out.

You know, after giving it some thought - there are far more shows that I cannot watch than shows I can watch these days. It's been like that ever since anything Joss Whedon or Bruce Timm related stopped airing.

I'd have to say every MTV show. I heard rumors, though, that they wanted to bring back Beavis and Butthead... and if they do it probably won't last long with the current MTV audience.

90210 - idk, i just don't have that connection with it.
The Vampire Diaries - because the suspense scenes are just too damn freaky.
Gossip Girl - the show has some good eyecandy, but it's kinda boring.
American Dad - kinda dull and i'm already in love with family guy

Ugh yes. I can't stand reality tv at all. Not going to lie, I used to love The Hills, but now I don't understand why I ever did at all.

The roommate I had this past school year would watch that all the time. I got pretty good at tuning it out, but I swear, I felt like I got dumber every time I saw/heard that she had it on her TV.

Glee.

It's funny, I get it, but it has no re-watch value to me, and the saccharine covers of songs always butcher the originals. It's weird because I love Jane Lynch and it's also produced by Ryan Murphy. Theoretically I should love this.

What else? I can't get into How I Met Your Mother or any type of sitcom with a laugh track. Again, it's funny, there are clips that make me lmao, but it's just not something I'm itching to watch every week.
arcanum
^ I actually used to not get into HIMYM but then I borrowed it from a co-worker, and fell in love. xD

I can't watch The Simpsons, Sex and the City, Grey's Anatomy, House, The Vampire Diaries/True Blood, Supernatural, Gossip Girls, Jersey Shore. haha there is a good bit I dont watch, honestly, I'd be better off listing the shows I do watch.
Joanne
The Big Bang Theory. I've watched most of the first season, but it just isn't funny to me. And I really do not like Leonard.
arcanum
^ That I have yet to even attempt to watch. haha I've heard mixed things about it, but I'm not interested enough to make the efforts to watch it.

all my coworkers ages 40+ and husbands watch jersey shore lol.

I can't even make it through 5 minutes of that show and I really wanted to like it.

Kara - No True Blood? Are you just vampired out? No Supernatural either? :(

Its sad how Jersey Shore got so popular

To be completely honest, I hardly watch tv as it is. But... i'm pretty vampired out. I've heard good things though, idk. I just... dont like many shows, I guess I'm just picky.

I don't like many shows, but I love True Blood (especially the first season). Too each their own though.

I usually catch things after they have been canceled or discontinued. That way I can watch everything in one swoop.
