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

Desperate Housewives
SpongeBob Square Pants

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.

andress_jade · 02-24-2009, 05:43 PM

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.
