LOST

Hurts to say it because season 1+2 were excellent. After that it went downhill fast. Just truly horrible and unbelievable/unplausible story with so many lose ends. inconsistent character with bad acting. Bad directing.

I agree. I loved the show when it started and got pissed off that I was hooked on it and had to see it till the end.

Full House - Horrible, horrible show. How it lasted so long is a mystery. "Oh look, the little baby said "Right on dude". That is totally something a big person would say! That's SO CUTE!"

Americas funniest Home Videos - Not because of the actual content, but because of the totally fake, idealized, version of America they place in the audience. It is almost like some sort of propaganda show showing that all Americans dress up perfect, sit perfectly straight, smile all the time, and laugh at every god damned thing they see. I can't stand it. It is just so bloody fake.

It's like they took a paid audience from an infomercial and made them stay for the show. It seemed very weird to me too.

What bugs me about AFV is that the truly funny videos never win. It's always the one with the cute kid that is obviously set up or the parent exploiting their children (see that one with the kid after the dentist).

Later seasons of Heroes?

Sylar finds out he's actually a Petrelli, is given a back story and struggles to find peace with who he is. Tries to reconcile the evil he did and be a good person. 2 episodes later, turns out he's actually not a Petrelli, becomes evil again, kills Nathan Petrelli, is turned into Nathan Petrelli, ends up sharing a mind with Parkman.

Peter's story is even more convoluted, but the gist of it he's power down because he got too strong for the story and ends up fighting his future self.

And after that it really jumped the shark...

I like heroes until the carnival BS that ended up happening. I thought the season before was the logical conclusion to the series. Sylar and Peter in a powerless brawl was awesome.

So you think you can prance.

I hate that show and hate the theme song even more. I want to stab my ears whenever my wife watches it.

Not gonna defend the theme song, but I don't know how anyone can hate a show that gives us something like this. I didn't want to like it at first either, but it's really grown on me.

I don't really only watch cable television now and very little network television but I actually watched a few episodes of Two Broke Girls and maybe the premises flew over my head but are the two girls acting horribly bad on purpose or is it the worst acted show I have ever seen? It's like they are reading from a teleprompter the entire show.

To be fair, I think most people with any sort of intelligence would hear the synopsis of those shows and not watch them at all. Thus, it can't be the worst show they've ever watched.

Although the mess that is "The Learning Channel (larf)" may override this and just be the default worst thing ever.

I loved SYTYCD. I had an entire youtube channel where i posted solo's from several past contestants (It's pretty damn popular too, i wish i remembered the password lol) but the show lost a lot of it's zest. I haven't watched since season 8 and i really don't have much of a desire to go back and watch again.

The BBC screened MASH in the UK without a laugh track. Re-runs on Comedy Central have the laugh track. And commercials. Screw you CC.
