Good morning! :wave3: And Happy Friday! :yess:

Are there any TV shows that you refuse to watch? What are they?

The Kardashians
Dr. Pimple Popper (My GF was telling me about it and I just sat there, saying, "Why? WHY?")

How about you? What will you not watch?

We don't have cable or a dish, so the choices are rather limited. The one(s) I absolutely refuse to watch are those 'celebrity' gossip shows.

Those two are certainly on my list!

I dislike most reality tv shows and definitely yes about not watching the Kardashians. I also refuse to watch The Bachelor.

Most of the reality TV shows. I will watch the Hoarder shows, A&E is restarting theirs on March 5. I guess technically that is a reality show but I can watch that one, I can't watch the silly ones like the Kardashians.

I don't like the reality shows, either. Or the athletic competitions or talent competitions and game shows. I stopped watching Game of Thrones on Netflix because it got too violent, and I lost interest in House of Cards. I guess the ones I watch the most are the British shows on PBS. Also Nova and Nature.

I don't watch most reality shows. Although I do like Survivor. And the various hoarding shows. But not the attention-seeking yahoo kind of show like The Bachelor or the Kardashians or Duck Dynasty or whatever random people they decided to follow around this week (mudding rednecks? Sure why not).

I don't like overly explicit violence or sex, so I'm sure I wouldn't enjoy Game of Thrones, but I don't have HBO so I don't get most of that.

I don't watch sports. Or talk/news shows with people talking over each other, I hate that.

Two Broke Girls is possibly the worst show ever made. I change the channel pretty quickly if that comes on.

No reality, no contest type shows.
(I like movies and old re-runs of The Law and Order Franchise, Cold Case, Without a Trace, Criminal Minds).

TOWIE ("The Only Way Is Essex"), The Kardashians, Big Brother, sports (am not a big sports fan - televised or in real life - the only sports I'll watch is the world cup and the opening and closing ceremony of the Olympics), Masterchef, The Greatest Dancer, Dancing On Ice.

There isn't much TV that I actually DO watch because I don't have any cable/satellite service. When I did though, there were some that I just would never want to watch ever.

All of the competition shows (singing, dancing, etc).
The Big Brother type shows
Shows like The View with all of them talking over each other the entire time
Saturday Night Live (hasn't been funny in a LONG time)

Any reality show except Pawn Stars and American Pickers. That includes the game shows, competition shows. And especially Swamp People. I don't want to see animals killed.

Any sports show unless you count The Kitten/Puppy Bowl.

Any "Entertainment" talk show.

Any show that is violent.

Any movie with John Wayne.

Any cooking/food show. I was at a doctor office and they had on Man vs. Food. It was just gross.

Most HGTV shows - I really don't care which multi-million beach house some young rich couple buys. I am not likely to get invited.


I watch a lot of PBS - Downton Abbey, Victoria, Midsomer Murders. Vikings is too violent. I watch a lot of TBS with the old movies.

I haven't had a TV for about 15 years now, if I watch anything it's on YouTube.

I pretty much only watch documentaries. I like anything about animals, medical subjects or murder investigations, hoarders, renovating old buildings or arty/crafty type subjects.

I guess you could say I refuse to watch everything else.

I watch some reality. I like the shows like Finding Bigfoot and Ghost Adventurers - are those reality? They are funny. Also Crikey is good. (Robert is so much like his dad)
But I refuse to watch Family Guy, GOT or anything with too much blood and sex.

Most all of them. Not a TV person. I do totally refuse to watch violence, especially toward women or children.
