Annoying TV shows - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Bootsy Whoosh · 06-04-2001, 03:42 PM

Ok we talk alot about the shows that we love and the commercials that annoy us...but what about the TV shows that annoy us? Do any annoy you?

I cannot stand that Sports Night show. It is so terrible and stupid and it almosts makes me angry it's so bad. Plus they market it as a comedy and it's not a comedy! That show is never funny and is always serious.

I keep wondering what target audience they think they were appealing to. It's not really about sports, there isn't any good comedy or romance. I seriously can't see this show appealing to any demographic.

The most exciting this show ever gets is when someone says "Hey! We were carried in 4.2 million households last night! That's our highest ratings ever!"

yeeeeeeeeah....I'm soooo on the edge of my seat over that one

"Hello. I'm Leonard Nimoy. The following tale of alien encounters is true. And by true, I mean false. It's all lies. But they're entertaining lies. And in the end, isn't that the real truth? The answer is: No."
(The Simpsons, "The Springfield Files")

"My God! It's nothing but carrots and peyote!"
(Chief Wiggum, The Simpsons, "D'oh-in' in the Wind")

"I'm disrespectful to dirt. Can you see that I am serious? Out of my way, all of you. This is no place for loafers! Join me or die! Can you do any less?"
Women: "What a brave corporate logo! I accept the challenge of Mr. Sparkle."
Woman #1: "Awesome power!"
(Translated Japanese from Mr. Sparkle commercial, The Simpsons, "In Marge We Trust")

I agree with you! Sports Night was awful! I'm surprised it was on so long.

Truthfully speaking, no show annoys me more than the new version of Family Feud w/ Louie Anderson. It annoys me so much that I want to throw things at my TV. I apologize to anyone who likes this, but I HATE IT! I guess I'm such a fan of the original that I can't stand the way Louie hosts it. And the producers made these stupid rules like only 4 rounds w/ the last round being triple. Dumb! And Louie is not funny, just not funny!

Providence (Sorry if you like that show) I can't stand it when Sydney see her mother in her dreams. I also can't stand though reality shows like survivor, thoughs are a waste of air time. I mean who wants to watch people eat bugs, sleep on the ground and listen to why they hate each other.

YES! Arrrrrgh I LOATHE reality TV! It is the worst concept EVER! And The REAL WORLD is the WORST WORST WORST of them all!!!

I have enough problems in my own life! Why in hell do I want to watch how "well Tina really hurt my feelings last night" and "Bobby is being a jerk" and "I really think Cindy Lee is groovy but Billy Joe Jim Bob is annoying..."

ARRRRRGH! And all the new reality TV shows SUCK too! Talk about wanting to throw things at my TV!

*pant pant pant*

ALSO, I just remembered....King of the Hill really bothers me too, and Everybody Loves Raymond.

Andrew:

ROFLMAO- I saw what you posted as one of the most annoying shows and saw that you posted 'To Tell the Truth'. Please explain why you dislike this show. I like the show in general, but that Paula Poundstone gets on my nerves.

I find it hillarious that they only rotate the final two judges on the show, but most of the time the first two are always Meshak Taylor and Paula Poundstone.

I just had to add that. LOL

Hey..I reread your list again and I def. agree on Mayberry R.F.D. I love 'The Andy Griffith Show', but I cannot stand Mayberry R.F.D. It makes me feel sick just thinking about it.

Hi Jenny. I don't like To Tell The Truth mainly because the panalists are annoying, bad actors.
