Dunno about everyone else, but Friends has never appealled to me. I dunno why, the characters just seem so cheesey and superficial. Never been able to sit down and watch an entire episode of that show without having the overwhelming desire to cringe on the floor. I agree with this statement, although it does on occation have its moments. Also, afew more shows to add to my list: Power Rangers Mystic Force-Seriously, I have no idea what the hell is going on. All I know is that the old woman mentor gets kidnapped very easily, the mystic rangers can't defeat anything without outside help, and the red ranger is the only one to gain any actual character developement because he's "the light". More like the giant douche who hogs the light. Stupid-Oh good. A show that admits what it and the target audience are. Forced unfunny jokes, annoying characters such as a brat that screams "DEVIL FINGER" every episode, and the feeling of embarracement you get for the actors when you watch this just confirms the title. Tracey Beaker-Okay. I don't hate this show, but Tracey's just a pain in the ass at times and some characters annoy me at certain times because of their stupidity. Dinosapien-The whole concept is just abit too silly for me. I can't be bothered explaining this one. Totally Doctor Who-I know kids watch Dr. Who, but there's no reason to make a programme like this for them. It never happened during the goldern years of the show's run, so why should we have it now? It's like if ITV did the same for Primeval and made a kid's show of the same genre for it. Beat the Boss-Nevermind beating bosses, how about beating the **** out of the kids who enter this? It's just very painful to watch in my opinion. Cramp Twins-Probably the cartoon I hate the most. One twin's a hippy wuss and only character with a proper skin colour, the other is a thug who's braincells hardly exist, the mother has some sort of compulsive disorder involving keeping things clean, and the dad's basically everyone's b****. It's unfunny, not clever, and extremely annoying to watch, as the wussy twin is probably the only smart person within town, as everyone else is extremely gullable and thick.

More like the giant douche who hogs the light. Not just that, it's got to be the cheesiest incarnation of Power Rangers that's ever been made. The only other appealling character was the pink ranger, and that's only because she had an attitude. Apart from that, I think the more recent Power Rangers series have been really good. Dino Thunder and SPD had great running storylines throughout them, and from the looks of things so far, Operation Overdrive seems a fantastic series.

I agree with you on The Cramp--I mean CRAP Twins.I mean stupid,lame,ugly,gross,those are all of the POSITIVE qualities.None of the characters or plots even bear one single spark of intelligence,which ultimately makes it a rather dull show to watch.Well 4kids,looks like it's back to the drawing board with that show I might get flamed for this one but
Power Rangers(mostly the recent episodes:I'll admit,I did like this show,but then it just got cheesier as they went along,after Dino Thunder,BAM I was no longer intrested in the show and just stopped watching it

Good God..another student who hated Friends?! Oh brilliant. [As you may tell, I was never fond of this piece of comedic crap either.] But EVERY student house I went to in Bangor had an obligatory Friends boxset. Why? ><

I can agree with most people about the Power Rangers. It looked like things were going to get better when Tommy came back in 'Dino Thunder' and then he left - yet again! - and then came Operation Overdrive. The only one good thing about that season is Adam coming back, along with that doll from Ninja Storm. Whatever is the world of children's TV coming to?

Well, I used to tolerate Cramp Twins, in the hope although everyone was terrible, Lucien (the only sane character in the entire series) would eventually get revenge on Wayne (the purple one). Of course, that wasn't always the case and I hated what happened to Lucien, so I eventually started to switch over whenever it came on. What I also dislike about that series, well, unless I am heavily mistaken, it sounds like the pioneer of the dumb parent stereotype.

I agree with what's been said about most of Cartoon Network's and Nick's new stuff. Most of it is just complete, recycled, dumbed-down sh*t.
Mr. Meaty-You have to be smoking something pretty powerful to create a show about hot dogs with faces.
Squirrel Boy-Never got the point of this one.
El Tigre See above.
The Naked Brothers Band-From Dan Schneider, who created the classic Amanda Show, I expected something a whole lot better. Although most of his shows after Drake & Josh were crap anyway.
The Wiggles No offense, but to me these guys might as well write "GAY" on a piece of tape and stick it to their foreheads.
Drake & Josh-After the episode where Megan adopts a sheep, I never watched it again. Mind you, that ep was good, but I found other shows to watch, so I have no idea how good it was after that.
LazytownNever thought Elvis ripoffs would make it to annoying kid's TV.
That is all for now.

Time for an update:
Good call on "Stupid" and "The Cramp Twins", as the former is just plain terrible (I've seen better plagues) and the latter-well, let's just say the 'm' should be removed.
One more from me-Horrid Henry. I'd come down at 10am and there it was, my 10-year-old brother in front of it. I only needed to see three minutes to realise that it was awful. I deliberately made a point of sleeping in until 10:30, but within thirty seconds I'd hear a three-minute long, high-pitched, 600-decibel "NO". If I managed to avoid one ten minutes later, there'd always be one fifteen minutes later. There has never been a better motive to change over, even if the only other thing on is Big Brother.

To me, a lot of animes (except for DBZ, Naruto, Fullmetal Alchemist and Detective Conan) never quite appealed to me. However oddly enough I kinda like some of the listed shows that are hated, Like Lazytown, Squirrel Boy and My Gym Partner is a Monkey.

Oh Horrid Henry, what a horrid show. All the characters look like they have greasy hair and colds. Worthy of MST3K any day. Why don't they just call it "The tacky Elvis impersonators who got lost in a giant fridge for six hours"?

Never been able to sit down and watch an entire episode of that show without having the overwhelming desire to cringe on the floor. I love Friends, but I do agree that all of the characters are extremely superficial. And I can't think of a single episode where half the jokes don't revolve around sex. Not one.

It's my turn so:
Big Brother: You can add me to the list if you can. In an absurd way it's like a turd clinging to life and attracting more waste as this reality show gets even worse by the year. The contestants are downright dismal as well. For some reason I've watched some of the previous BBs and there I'd like one of the contestants (like Glyn and Eugene) who were like me and nearly made it to the final. It pointless to watch nowadays and seeing as they've plugged CBB 2008 to make way for something more special why can't they axe the entire thing? Damn you Endemol!
Hollyoaks: It's one of those shows that the family minus myself like. I only see it as a complete loop were teenagers and couples meet up, argue, fight and squabble in a conurbtion near Chester. Plus I hate the new titles as they look cheap and allude to either sexism or homosexuality with all those sex symbols around.
Eastenders: Basically I could say any soap but the same reason is as above. Every time I watch a fraction about it it's about two women, a nasty one with a tattoo who have taken over the Queen Vic. Soaps aren't my cup of tea.
Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps: I'm not compatible with their northern pub humour and watching two pub goers rambling. Sorry if I've offended any northern englanders here.
Most of the shows on the children's channels like Cartoon Network I hate, what's worse is that my little brothers watch the programmes and these crap shows. One of them called Johnny Test makes me grumble as the name is a rip off of an ex-CN action show called Johnny Quest.

basically I will not watch soaps or mindless reality shows like big brother or I'm a celebrity. I loved the latter originally then it went downhill.

And how about Full House?
I didn't realize how bad it was till I was twelve
The humor is well.....poopy
The characters....just not intresting enough to look at
bottom line is,it's a terrible comedy and I can see why it got bad ratings in it's first run
And I'm lucky I hadn't seen Big Brother(US) yet,by the looks of it anyway.So Id on't know If i should watch an episode just to be fair.Should I or Should I not?

The Big Brother in the UK is like an illegal lab rat experiment where at first only the females are caged and then they drop a male into the vicinity so that the females can fight over him like the last piece of fried chicken and then dump some homosexuals in order to disrupt the community. Of course there are other reasons than that, Davina McCall is on my TV hate list.

I've got a few gripes with TV as well.
Beat the Boss: Now, I love the show but I hate the presenter. I can't remember her name but her acting is so wooden she could be mistaken for a plank at B&Q. And the way she announces the winners at the end? "And the winners are..." Two hours later: "It's the Bright Sparks!!" Really grinds my gears!!
The Antiques Roadshow: Yes, now let's all sit around the TV and watch someone review people's old tat. Really interseting. Roger Mellie did a better job at presenting this!
University Challenge: If Exeter University's not on it or anyone I know is on it, I will like this program when Hell holds the winter olympics.
ITV Play: I know this isn't a show, but it has a ton of them. The presenters are stupid, the games are stupid. Like when they ask you to name a film Cliff Richard was in. You call them and say "Summer Holiday" (as it's the obvious choice) and it's wrong! BOOM! £1 of your money flushed down the loo.
Big Brother: When it was good, I watched it but now it's just chav-tastic. Not even entertaining anymore. Thank Chrysler C4 are scrapping it.
It's me or the dog: Speaking of scrapping shows, here's another C4 classic that is soon to bite the dust! Leaving because of the dog's behaviour. What a stupid concept.
Lazy Town: This show is the worst thing to come out of Iceland ever. Those stupid plastic wigs, the annoying puppet people and the stupid songs you can't get out of your head for two weeks! AUGH!!!!!!!
Phew. Rant over.

Big Brother - Never really understood it.
Supernanny - I did watch it a handful of times, but all this really says is that some people just don't know how to look after kids, if you ask me.
BooBah - I mean, sorry, WHAT were they thinking? It's stupidly repetitive and rather brainless. The only 'funny' bit is the fact that the narrator in the "Mr Man" part sounds like he's about to fall asleep. I don't blame him!
Pepe Le Pew cartoons - The problem with him, and a lot of Looney Tune (and other) cartoons is that he's too predictible. What makes it worse is that what happens in his cartoons are not even funny. You have something like Wile E Coyote and Roadrunner in comparison, and I never get bored of their antics.
