Two And A Half Men - the raunchiest, most disgusting, tactless, unfunny show ever to be made into a sitcom which should not be seen by anyone under the age of 21.

My sister LOVES this show for some reason, and she's much older than the demographic that it was made for.

I've never watched enough of it to care one way or the other about it.

But going back to the question:

Breaking Bad. I tried watching a marathon of it, and I was bored to freaking tears. I thought, "Really?! THIS is the show everyone is raving about?!" I told my niece that I hated it and she gave an audible gasp of shock, as in, "How could you not? It's the best show in the history of TV! What are you--crazy?!?"

The only reason why Family Matters was hugely successful was Jaleel White and Reginald VelJohnson. They had amazing chemistry, and they were a throwback to comedy duos, where you had the one angry fat guy and the annoying best friend. I haven't seen this show since it first aired, but I remember that it borrowed heavily from The Honeymooners and Laurel and Hardy. Plus, if it hadn't been for the breakout character of Steve Urkel, it would've never lasted as long as it did.

Grey's Anatomy. I tried watching it a couple of times but I just thought it was extremely boring and depressing.

I think she might be the one who might be crazy-- she's expecting you to like that show as much as she does, and taking horrible offense upon hearing that you don't.
