I don't watch any reality shows as a general rule and many of them get pretty good ratings. I also don't watch any of the Law & Order or CSI shows. I don't like reality shows and I'm not interested in crime dramas, so I don't watch.

Two and a Half Men is good.... but I always seem to forget to tune in.

You name it, I don't watch it.

All NBC sitcoms and dramas and reality. I hate that network.

All CSI shows

Everybody Loves Raymond

American Idol...it annoys me. If it were just Simon ripping into bad singers...I'd watch. THAT is funny.

All reality but Survivor: All Stars, and that's not even every week.

CSI. I used to watch Survivor but stopped after season 2 although I sometimes watch the finales and reunions. I watch just about everything else though.

Everything but Survivor(and when Big Brother and Amazing Race return) those. I might watch 5 minutes of something else as I am flipping by(mostly comedies), but I don't watch it regularly.

Everybody Loves Raymond - can't stand

Frasier - i watched the first two seasons, havent enjoyed it since

all the reality shows - with the exception of the first episodes of American Idol... the bad ones are funny AND the "Surreal Life-2" was pretty good

Friends- Never could stand it.

Frasier- Loved it when it first came out, but lost interest after a couple of seasons.

Everybody Loves Raymond- Used to love it, now I cringe when I see it on.

any of the Law& Order shows, CSI shows, and other crime dramas

any reality show

I don't watch any reality show, basically because I don't need to watch idiots on TV when I can look outside and seem them.

Entertain, inform, or educate me. Don't show me jackasses I can see at my 7-11.

I don't watch the reality shows even though they have high ratings. I don't watch TCS, and I have read that it has high ratings.

The only show I watch nowadays is Joan of Arcadia. Other than that, they pretty much follow a simple formula: high ratings = OVERRATED

I can't stand reality TV. The one or two times I tried I had the "there's an hour I'll never get back" reaction.

I absolutely cannot laugh at Frasier. Same with Raymond.

Most comedies I like are at least 15-20 years old or even older.

I like Law and Order (at its best) and L&O: CI but can't get into the other dramas. I tried to watch Cold Case because I liked the idea of it but the execution of it was dreadful.

Wow, where to start?? American Idol, Bones, Deal or No Deal, etc. I don't have cable, so those shows are out. The only current shows I watch are House and Jay Leno. Other than that, all I watch are DVDs/videos of the classic shows. Really, none of the current shows interest me.

Not only do I not watch many of these kinds of shows, I've never even heard of some of them! Plus, I do not like reality shows of any kind(except for the first season of Survivor--I was kind of hooked, but haven't been interested since). Although I have cable, what I mostly watch are news, history, channels with older movies, C-Span, CNN, FoxNews, MSNBC, occasionally TVLand, and the like--that's about it. (I also like about the first 15 minutes of any of the major network's evening news, be that ABC, CBS or NBC), plus local news, weather, sports.
