I had heard lots of things about a Reality show called 'Here Comes Boo Boo' or something like that. A couple of co-workers said it was like a train wreck, you couldn't help but look. They would carry on talking about it and I found it hard to believe so I set my DVR to record it. The 1st show I watched was kind of gross because she was using her hands to mix all the food, I won't share all I saw but it was nasty. The next time I got desperate enough to watch it again due to nothing else being on was worse. Not sure if these were reruns or not, anyway one of the teen girls picked her nose and put that thing in her mouth. There is ONLY so much I can handle.
I gagged and ran for the bathroom. I saw things on that show that nobody should ever witness.

The last I heard on facebook she kicked out her live in boyfriend claiming he cheated but in reality she set him up and was sneaking around seeing the convicted child molester that had served time for what he did to her own daughter. The show was canceled but according to things I see on Facebook, the drama continues.

It's not a tv show, but one that sticks out in my head is the beating/stabbing scene from A Cry for Help: The Tracey Thurman Story, a TV movie starring Nancy McKeon. Still very haunting to me, he was literally stomping on her head while she was lying in the street during the beating. God that was a truly disturbing scene.

Adult Swim is disturbing all around.

But specifically, Adult Swim airs these especially creepy infomercials every night at around 4AM ET that literally **** over your mind. They're produced by Alan Resnick.

Below is the latest/current one...

I agree it was very very disturbing

I watched few episodes of how to get away with murder? I watch it their was two gay guys making out with each other I just stopped watching it.

This is one that I saw on Unsolved mysteries years ago and to this day I can't get it out of my head. And this was the worst thing, in all my years I had ever seen on TV.

A Woman had just had a baby only days before, and was with the father, I believe it was. They were somewhere secluded and outside. It was only the couple and the baby. For some sick reason, they beat the baby to death, I think it was said on UM because they didn't want it.

I have seen some cold hearted sick things on TV, but I have never seen anything so horrible before or since. I understand that Unsolved Mysteries received allot of bad mail from viewers for airing that segment. It was only a reenactment, but still, just the picture of that sent people over the edge.

I would say almost the entirety of "reality TV" could fit in this category, with a very few exceptions. I agree that "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" would easily lead the pack in this category. I would also add other reality shows like "Naked and Afraid" (which leaves very little to the imagination- it's just about full frontal nudity), "Temptation Island" (a really horrible Fox reality show from some years back wherein married couples were actually tempted to commit adultery on the show), "The Jerry Springer Show" (I don't think I need to say more on this one) and I'm sure lots of others.........
I also recently was flipping through channels and happened to see a bit of "Rescue Me"- and I was disgusted with the barrage of foul language I heard in just one scene, as well as the sexual acts going on. It reminded me why I don't watch very many current shows, if any.

A commercial that really gets to me is the Halo mandarin oranges commercial. They have a baby duct taped to a door! I'm sorry but I consider that child abuse! The thing is, there is NO reason for it! I hear the company got a lot of negative feedback but apparently they don't care, the ad continues to air.

I never watched Honey Boo Boo anyway. I always thought that Honey Boo Boo was an obnoxious kid. Everybody loved her but I thought she was obnoxious and had a smart mouth.

Martine Bartlett.

Who is that you say?

She was a character actress who had a decent career in movies and TV shows from the 50's to the early 80's. But to me her career started and stopped with a two part TV movie where she was only on screen for about 15 minutes. 15 terrifying minutes. Who did she play? Hattie Dorsett. Mother of Sybil Dorsett. As played by Sally Field in the 1976 landmark TV movie Sybil.

Martine Bartlett was so evil, so creepy, so horrifying as the abusing mother in Sybil that to me she surpasses every wicked witch, crazy masked slasher, and alleged evil genius in entertainment history. Why? Because she was a mother of a toddler. An evil despicable monster that could have been anyone's mother.

And anytime I have seen Martine Bartlett in anything on TV, I am so creeped out I must turn it off. I don't know much about Martine Bartlett except she has the kind of evil face that infected everything she ever did onscreen. To me she is literally unwatchable.

The "Sylvia" episode of Little House on the Prairie. A young girl is stalked and raped by a masked man old enough to be her dad and gets pregnant. Her father blames her when he finds out what happens. Albert falls in love with her and is the only one who cares about her. Then her rapist comes after her again and she dies escaping from him. Why this show is considered family viewing always amazed me, because the majority of the episodes IMO are too traumatic for kids.

Two episodes of Tales From Crypt

All Through the House - With the killer Santa Claus (god he was ugly)

A Fitting Punishment - When the funeral home owner abuses his nephew and ends up chopping off both his feet

Also in the opening intro the Cryptkeeper busting out the coffin cackling away, always scared the crap out of me.

For anyone who watched "Dexter" (a show whose basic premise was ripe for MANY disturbing moments) it was the S6 episode with the "Four Horsemen" scene. It was shot and edited so well that even though it was broad daylight, the image was indelibly creepy and disturbing.

In June, 1990 one of the GROSSEST uke: things I ever saw on TV took place during the Children's Miracle Network Telethon. If you are familiar with this Telethon every hour they have a "Miracle Kid" story where some child went through some life-threatening predicament and survived!) In 1990 one such kid they featured was a boy who was involved in a shooting accident. This kid had literally half his head shot off AND THEY SHOWED IT!!! mg: During the week I heard a lot of "Water Cooler" talking about this segment. I joked "Now there's a way to raise more money, let's GROSS OUT all our viewers!

The following year this telethon didn't have anything as shocking as what they showed the year before.
