For an optimist like me, there's not many, but one I will say is The Waltons, that show is boring to me, its an hour show, which is fine, but 10 minutes of this show feels like an hour

I'll limit this to stuff I've seen at least a bit of.

American Idol
Grey's Anatomy
Desperate Housewives
SpongeBob Square Pants
Hannah Montana
The Honeymooners
Beverly Hillbillies
Scrubs

I'm sure there are more, but I'm stuck now.

The entire reality genre. I don't get that at all! (however I have to disagree with you about the Waltons, Cactus Jack. I've been watching the show the last few months on Vision TV here in Canada and have been enjoying it very much!)

My brothers Marc and Mike love "Little House on the Prairie." That series never appealed to me, not only because of its setting (out in the middle of nowhere in the 1800's), but because of the general format of the series.

1970's
All In the Family, Sanford and Son, Good Times, Barney Miller, MASH (my mom loves this show, but for some reason I could never get into it), The Waltons.

1990's
Married with Children, Seinfeld, The Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, Two and a Half Men, Star Trek (all of them), Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place.

2000's
American Idol, Scrubs, My Name is Earl, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, The Office, 30 Rock, most of the shows on CW because they are mainly based around teens and tweens, some of the shows on ABC Family (especially Secret Life of the American Teenager, who cares about some stupid girl who got herself pregnant and cam't decide what to do been there, done that, the only good thing about the show is that Molly Ringwald is in it).

I will think of more later, you can count on it. :rolleyes:

Never could understand the appeal to these shows oh well to each their own.

Two and a Half Men - I've watched about 9 episodes and I laughed maybe once. But everyone at my work LOVES the show. I'll be up in the breakroom, with five other people, I'll mention that I don't like the show and then they all gang up on me.

George Lopez - Although I don't know anyone personally who loves the show (or even likes it), it's a popular show here and obviously for Nick at Nite. I've watched the show a few times to try it and I didn't laugh once. I was slightly annoyed by Mr. Lopez, though.

A couple of my co-workers love that show too, as well as How I Met Your Mother. I don't understand the appeal of either show.
