The biggest thing to me about that show is how little progress has been made to actually fulfilling the purpose of the show. And yes, I know the whole point is that he's trying to find his future wife, but eventually you just get to the point where it's just stale and they're stretching it out for every cent they can get.

Add that to the fact that the acting is tuuurrible (besides NPH) and it's one of my least favorites.

At least they are coming to an ending now. It's got one, two years tops left based on the timeline they've set up.

Easier to name shows I like. ha. Too bad people keep watching crap and lining the pockets of the idiocy. I think those stupid housewives get like 450k a season or some such nonsense.

I only need cable to access sports channels.

Now that 24 and Lost are finished, I pretty much don't watch network TV. (although don't get me started how I can't get local networks on DirecTV down here in SE Iowa. Only NBC and CBS out of NY)

As a female, I'm not the norm in that I would rather watch a sporting event than reality TV. No Idol, no "There's something wrong with me, I can't get a date, so I'll just go on TV to find someone" Sometimes I catch an episode of Amazing Race. I have to confess, though, that I'm hooked on So You Think You Can Dance. There, I said it.

Otherwise, it's Mad Men, Walking Dead, and anxiously waiting for the next season of Doctor Who to start.

Most anything on the "History" Channel, but especially Ancient Aliens. The sheer amount of intellectual and academic dishonesty it takes to produce such a show is mind-boggling. Pretty sure I nearly suffered a stroke while yelling at my television the first time I saw that show.

I like History Channel, but agree whole-heatedly on Ancient Aliens. Man that show sucks, and the clowns they have on there need to be in institutional homes.

any show that recaps what you just watched before a commercial break, like you can't remember what you watched two minutes ago.

This. Very annoying. Some shows I really like do it, but I struggle through. Basically, commercial breaks are twice as long, and an hour show is really only 33 mins of actual content.

I have to admit, I really enjoy seeing the homes that they look at (not on international though) but what I hate is how staged the conversations are and how annoying the women always are. They act like the paint color of one room is a deal breaker.

It's because they've already purchased one of the houses before the show was even filmed. The other two houses are just filler.

I am wondering if all of you that hate big bang just don't understand the jokes. Any show where Sheldon has to use a Finnish dictionary to install linux the correct way is a good show in my book.

Computer programming jokes are lost on me. I think I get most of the other jokes, but I just don't find them funny. Mostly, I don't like his character he's very irritating. And i consider myself a tolerant person!

Agreed, I'm a fan of it.

Monsterquest and River Monsters are two of the worst shows ever made. I also had to stop watching Ax Men because of the fake suspense scenes they constantly refilmed.

The content of a joke is meaningless if it's being delivered by a terrible actor playing an irritating character in the context of a ridiculous storyline.

I can't stand Two and a Half Men. Ironically, Charlie Sheen is one of my favorite actors but for some reason that show does not make me laugh at all.

Two and a Half Men is one of the worst shows I've ever witnessed. I've even had people tell me it's better than Seinfeld. I don't even find Charlie Sheen remotely funny. Horrible

I'll agree on 2 and a half men sucking at least since Charlie left. Anything involving Ashton K. automatically sucks.
