Forums _ Movies & TV _ television shows you just can't watch
Posted by: futura Jul 25 2010, 04:25 AM
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

Posted by: aflyingcumshot Jul 25 2010, 06:08 PM

Posted by: spambot Jul 25 2010, 06:21 PM

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.
Posted by: Cum Jul 26 2010, 09:25 PM

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.
Posted by: Uso Jul 29 2010, 10:48 PM
lol I felt the same way, I watched that show and jersylicious when i got my wisdom teeth pulled....It was like the chinese water torture, vicodin made it better :p
Cristy lets make our own show....we will make a porno and then we will have "Keeping up with the Cb-ians"

adding Sarah Palin's Alaska to this
Posted by: Gigi Jan 18 2011, 12:21 AM
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.
Posted by: arcanum Jan 18 2011, 01:39 AM
^ 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.
Posted by: Joanne Jan 18 2011, 01:53 AM
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.
Posted by: arcanum Jan 18 2011, 01:59 AM
^ 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.
Posted by: gojira Jan 18 2011, 03:47 AM
all my coworkers ages 40+ and husbands watch jersey shore lol.
Posted by: superstitious Jan 27 2011, 07:01 PM
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? :(
Posted by: Uso Jan 27 2011, 07:50 PM
Its sad how Jersey Shore got so popular
Posted by: arcanum Jan 28 2011, 02:22 AM
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.
Posted by: superstitious Jan 28 2011, 07:42 PM
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.
Posted by: gojira Feb 2 2011, 08:41 AM
couldve sworn you've seen a couple episodes

Posted by: brooklyneast05 Feb 5 2011, 11:01 PM

90210, vampire diaries, true blood, gossip girl, skins, the game, and many more.
Posted by: spambot Feb 14 2011, 09:20 PM
I still can't get into Dexter.
Posted by: batman Feb 15 2011, 11:57 AM
-_-
Have you tried watching it all at once? Dexter is best watched as a marathon.
Posted by: Uso Feb 15 2011, 11:46 PM
this is a tad off topic, but the first episode of Skins (US) 2.6 mil watched it, by the second episode only 1.6mil watched it, and some sponsors dropped out of that causing mtv to lose 2mil dollars
talk about a show that people cant watch :p
Posted by: Joanne Feb 16 2011, 01:03 AM

Didn't sponsors drop out because of the 'racy' content?
Posted by: spambot Feb 16 2011, 02:06 AM
^ I think so. I know when I first googeld US Skins some of the first videos were reports on how it was basically "porn" and blah blah blah.
Posted by: batman Feb 16 2011, 07:28 AM
... moreso pornish than the UK version? I can't imagine it being any more racy than Skins UK seeing as how they censor words and such.
If it's pretty much like the original, then the sponsors are stupid for sponsoring it in the first place. it's not like the racy nature of Skins was anything new, what with it having been done before and all.
Posted by: Joanne Feb 16 2011, 03:42 PM
I've watched the first three episodes... it's not even half as 'pornish' as the UK one. I remember reading a few articles about how parents and sponsors were shocked by the naked butts and all the talk about sex and masturbation. Sigh.
Posted by: Uso Feb 16 2011, 09:29 PM
For some of the Us (parents, viewers) its like "omg racey!" but I dont think a lot of people here know that in the UK its not as censored, so im assuming the sponsors didn't want to get a bad rep?
Posted by: spambot Feb 16 2011, 11:03 PM
I don't think a lot of people know of the UK version.
There were a lot of suppressed mothers of America just f*cking waiting to be able to jump down MTVs throat again though. I imagine them saying "its go time" then ninja flipping out their front door.
Posted by: Gigi Feb 18 2011, 02:21 AM
I don't watch Skins at all, but don't y'all hate how US shows are so much more conservative than UK shows? I dunno if you've ever seen The Inbetweeners (a SWEET-ASS show), but that shit is seriously "racy". There is literally an episode that talks about (and shows) a character's left testicle.
I just don't think there's a reason to sugarcoat the TV shows especially if teens do that shit in real life.
