Rats
Bats
Mosquitos
Flies
Hip Hop and Rap music
Selfies/Selfie sticks
Motorcycles- such an annoying, pesky sound when they often go by on the busy street by me. Now Fonzie on a motorcycle, that can stay.
Most reality shows
all wrestling and boxing
Tattoos
all obscenity, profanity, and pornography- TV-MA shows go away, plus all the filth magazines.
strip clubs and any portrayal of them on TV- I hate when an otherwise good show throws this in.
Coffee/anything espresso flavor
Alcohol
Mushrooms
Olives
Match Game- Replace all airings of it on BUZZR and GSN with the Dick Clark Pyramids.
Friends, The Golden Girls, and The Office- These lousy sitcoms would be replaced with Corner Gas, WKRP in Cincinnati, and The Wonder Years (original 80s/90s version) on all cable stations.
the way too big section of shows being remade instead of original ideas- As a big fan of the original Frasier, its legacy should have been left in the decade it originally aired. Frasier never should have been revived with no more John Mahoney.
the number one- This one is a joke as I listed way more than one item. :lol:

We were not a peanut family where I grew up, so never had it as a young person..but my grandkids did and then found how many people have peanut allergies. I believe I got some really achy joints from some roasted peanuts some time ago, I quit buying them.

Many have SERIOUS allergies to peanuts...when I feel a little flush and get the urge I will buy some whole foods cashew butter.

Just make sure it doesn’t have xylitol.

From the American Kennel Club....

Health Alert: Xylitol
Most peanut butter is safe, but some can be deadly. Recently, some peanut butter manufacturers switched to using the sweetener xylitol. Xylitol is a sugar substitute often found in sugar-free products like chewing gum, toothpaste, breath mints, chewable vitamins and baked goods. It is safe for people, but toxic to dogs.

How about people who harass wild animals? There might even be some comedic potential there.

A parent who warns their 5 year old to leave the geese on the beach alone, but the kid ignores and starts chasing them anyway...until *poof*...no more kid....

I agree with that. Going back to old fashion customer gives a person a job. As long as people don't swear and grumble too much, I would take the position.

Weeds. Some are scary (to me) and there are too many.

Vulgar language. I prefer watching movies and TV shows with without hearing stupid swearing. It's completely unnecessary.

Motorcycles. Too loud (most of them). We should not have to hear them go by at 120 decibels!

CNN! (Keep Fox News; much less biased than the former.)

If what you think offends others, that is their problem. I have made it to 85 and no cell phone and my life has been good, very productive -- I wonder which generation you are from,,,

Thomas Edison made it just fine, as did J.C. Penney and the Sears Roebuck tribe and 1000's of them.

The cellphone is not the problem it's what came after the cellphone that's the problem, namely the apps. Texting, the camera are the biggest offenders. We should have stopped at the flip phone.

Yes I have to agree, and I was so close many times to buying a cell phone and it just never happened.....it all got bigger in our lives when I was in late 50's my 60's and retiring... if the phones had been big at a sales job I had, I know my boss would have one planted on me, he had a pager instead to "get me"....
