I gave up on The Simpsons once it got to the point that I couldnāt tell if an episode was a repeat or not.

The first few episodes of NCIS made it blatantly obvious that it was designed as far-right propaganda.
IIRC, the villain in the first or second episode was a murderous lesbian environmentalist trying to hijack a nuclear sub.

I canāt stand Big Bang Theory. I have theoretically geeky friends who watch it on repeat, and itās just awful.
Any āReal Housewives!ā type of thing. Ewgh. No, I wonāt keep up with the Kardashians.

Big Bang Theory, any of those CSI type police procedurals and anything where Americans treat their own government like some kind of supervillain that conspires against them.

Not missing much. We were without TV for years until we got a bundle package from Scumcast. Even now, the TV part is mainly used when the kids we watch sometimes come over. They watch Cartoon Network or Nick Jr or PBS. Outside of that, we download shows to watch or do Netflix or one of the apps on the Apple TV.
Donāt watch Walking Dead, Big Bang Theory, any type of ārealityā show or local news. I can pass on all of them.

I was a big Simpsons fan early on, but holy Christ itās been 28 years already. If that show was a human it could rent a car by now. They should have killed it 15 years ago when it was still okay.
Iām rooting for the lesbian environmentalist. Anyone else with me?
Thatās why I like The Walking Dead and most anything zombie related. The government is either ineffectual at best or the enemy at worst. In this age of government dysfunction, zombie and post-apocalyptic books, movies, and TV really appeal to me.

THANK YOU!
Sheldon is not smart he is a pack of retard jokes weāre told is supposed to be smart we we donāt feel bad for laughing at. It is a pack of man children having to have a den mother care for them. It is not āsmart humor.ā It is the rest of the world laughing at a show confirming what āweā are like.
For me it is doctor fucking Phil. Heās a fat bald fuck that has gone on record as āmillinials are proven to be more narssicistic than everyone else.ā A lot of people he lays into deserve it, but his whole schtick justā¦ Frankly to me it feels like āoh I just had this pair of fucked up people on my show that is proof positive that entire subgroup is garbage. Now I will sit here and moralize at you.ā It is also disenginuine when 'oh weāre just going to GIVE you this expensive help. Thatās awesome. What about the people who canāt afford that kind of help and arenāt blessed enough to go on your show?
Ancient aliensā¦ My family thinks itās hilarious. For me itās everything I hate about what the history channel became.
The worst one for me though? Any of the law and order shows. āOh hey I have to catch this obviously guilty shitbag but these pesky rules and proceedures get in the way. Audiance you can see heās guilty right? So why is this fleabag attorny bothering to hold my job up? Stabler beat the shit out of this perp. Oh wait stabler you retired? New chick. Be stablerā s standing.ā It has good moments, and some episodes are actually really good at playing even handed. However to me it feels like propaganda at how police need more power to catch these shitbags that get to use the flaws in the system.
Then again it aināt CSI Miami, the Horatio Caine show. That one I will never understand why the fuck it was ever popular. Itās a guy with zero emotative ability making quips at a camera while being super cop around a cast that dresses way too fancy for actual work, and does most of their jobs better than they can. Gibbs on NCIS at least NEEDS his team even if he frankly is the Super Boomerā¦ He at least letās the rest of them shine. Caineā¦ Didnāt and the whole show suffers for it.

This Is Us is a good show but itās too realistic. I watch so little TV that when I do I donāt want it taking me back to reality.

When I visit home, thereās a genre of shows that my parents love but I loathe ā the āfix it up and upsell itā show. Whether itās buying a crappy house and making it pretty to āflip itā or finding crap and turd-polishing itā¦ ugh.
The worst is this one show with a name I forget; Flea Market Flip possibly. Teams of people aggressively haggle at rural flea markets to buy antiques at the lowest prices possible, then āfix them upā by painting them pink, sticking fake gears on them to make āsteampunkā furniture, doing some crappy reupholstering on chairs, or just sticking a lightbulb on it to make something into a lamp. Then we watch them go to an upscale urban āflea marketā to sell their āupcycledā junk to hipsters for ten times what they paid for it. Every single person on that show is ghastly.

All those āhome renovationā shows? Me and my stepdadās try guessing if itāll be plumbing, electrical, or structural thatāll be what sinks the laughably tiny budget where they have to beg the home owner for more money.
Iām just glad NCIS got less bad over the years. I mean sure its still a baby boomer self insert fantasy since Gibbs, but itās mostly āOK.ā Justā¦ For the love of god donāt try yo make sense of the ānerd talkā or watch during any of the āgamerā episodes.

Dr Phil is a bully, just like so many other bullies. Iām surprised that he actually has a PhD in psychology and āDr Philā isnāt just some fake title.
Even when Iām on a business trip in some depressed little place, and I didnāt rent a car so Iām stuck at the hotel and thereās fuck all else to do except watch endless Law And Order on the hotel room TV, I still donāt find this show tolerable.
It was ever popular?
Iāve noticed this about all the CSIās. Who the fuck 1) dresses like that 2) to work 3) in a lab? Not buying it. Of course, the women are only there as eye candy and everyone knows it.

If I ever turn on the TV in the hotel room these days, I invariably end up watching hours of The Forensic Files ā on Headline News late night. Itās a documentary with reenactments on how they solved real murders. It sucks you in. So now I just know never to turn on the TV.

I donāt watch those shows, but I know people like that in real life. So pretentious and insufferable. They buy random crap because some hipsters say so. They donāt even know what they want or have their own sense of taste, they just like to follow the crowd.

Also sometime in the late 80s he had some kind of run in where judging by the citation thing he fucked one of his patients or something. Hereās a snopes thread about it.

Having a relationship with a patient is probably only one of the reasons heās not a practicing psychologist. However, heās still a real PhD, and even that surprises me a little. Heās not a wannabe therapist, heās someone who knows heās doing no good but does it anyway for the money and publicity.

The last episode I saw had a team sticking a lightbulb inside an antique dress form; it looked utterly ridiculous. They took it to a Manhattan market and this guy actually wearing a beret hemmed and hawed, āI dunnoā¦ itās not my styleā¦ā āOh, buy it, honey, itāll take up that empty space in your loft office!ā his girlfriend said, and they chunked over a few hundred for it. I HATE YOU HIPSTERS.

Jamie is one of the few people who can wear a beret un-ironically and not be a hipster about it.
