Worst Tv Show

The much-acclaimed Battlestar Galactica.

TV is a vast wasteland without BSG. However, you should give "Mad Men" a try - it's pretty good. I've also heard that "Breaking Bad" is good as well.

And I have a soft spot for "How I Met Your Mother" - Barney Stinson FTW.

keith olbermann rocks!!! thank GOD for him and his truth telling!

'red eye' on fnc sucks big time. i try to see any humor there but it is non-existant, imo.
 
As a scientist I find any of the new(ish) breed of forensic shows like CSI, NCIS, and worst of all Bones (so bad, I find myself compelled to watch it sometimes) particulalry offensive.

Amazing how someone can be a analytical chemist, molecular biologist, ballistics expert all at once (wow thats about 15 years of university right there) and still not know how unsafe it is to eat in a lab.

Oh, and we dont work in the dark like they do on CSI

And how come these "experts" have to constantly explain the most basic concepts to each other

And gunshot residue is a myth

And why do all the computer programs have flashing red lettering that says MATCH in big letters when ever it gives the results

I could go on but my head wil explode

American Idol.

Why? Because while most TV programs make me think that the judgment of corporate owned networks is questionable, this show makes me realize that most people have no desire to be entertained by anything challenging. The networks give the people crap, the people vote on what the best crap is, and then they go out and buy the crap that the voted on crap puts out on CD. And the host is an a-hole.

I agree.American Idol,by far.
First,you have the head of a record Label that produces and sells the most bland,conservative pop music you can think of(ol' Simon),and his opinion is considered expert and informed.Second,the judges all reinforce the pop stereotypes by their choices:The scruffy faced "rock" singer,the perfect looking country singer,the belt it out diva,etc.
Third,you have the public thinking that they have a hand in crowning a champion,but thats only by default,since the choices are so bland and limited to begin with.
Geez,can you imagine if Idol had been around in the past?Forget about Willie Nelson,Frank Zappa,Beck,George Clinton.I bet they wouldnt even let Bob Dylan into the building to audition.

It was around...it was called 'star search' and resulted in such monumental talents as "Sinbad". Wow, cutting edge.

Don't give people what they want. Give them what they never dreamed possible-Willy Wonka.

I remember-Sinbad,Sawyer Brown and Sam Harris.About the same crap as Idol.
 
Agree with a lot of what's been named, I'd add Little People, Big World. That shows just ticks me off, it's so melodramatic, and their lives are not exciting at all.

However, Mad Men is surprisingly good, but I've just been renting it through netflix, can't take the ever-increasing amounts of commercials on cable, it's completely out of control. Oh, I like Nip/Tuck too, now that I've actually given it a chance, because it looks bad in the commercials.
 
There is nothing sadder than seeing the lengths these people will go to just so they can be on tv. They even think that there is something compelling about how they act or maybe it's all a scripted act. Either way it is amazing that there is an audience for this. I'm referring to the reality shows like Survivor or Big Brother or the celebrity reality shows for the most part.:screwy::boring::stupid::nutz::puke2::bash:

I think those are the smilies that cover it.

HIMYM and Two and a Half Men are required watching on Monday nights. I've watched a bit of Mad Men but haven't really been able to get into it, but I love Burn Notice. House is another one I've started to get into.

OC, Hills, Keeping with Kardashians...do I have to name more?
Or, Bus of Love or whatever it's called. OMG! As bad as it gets.

The only reason that I like the Kardashians is because their daughter Kim is a little hottie. Heck, most of the women in that family are hot.....need I say more?

Oh, man, forgot about Little People, Big World. Just because you're smaller than the average person does not make your boring life worth watching.

Madmen is great...even though I work in advertising and sometimes its like watching my workday.
