Oh yes I've now seen Big Brother US.I only saw the first few minutes of season 8 episode 24 on YT,and it was so dang sickening!I should've adheared to Halestead's warning on page 4,but oh well,I guess I can have a reason to hate it.Just a few females trying to ugh well you don't want to know with some street punk teenage boys if you ask me,why did it even make it to season 8,let alone past season 3.
Out of Jimmy's Head(It's a new show on Cartoon Network US so you may of not heard of it)Reanimated(The movie it was based off of) completely sucked(but then again it was made by a writer for Gym Teacher's a Monkey) so why did Cartoon Network actually want to go through with making it a show?Possibly a sign that Cartoon Network wants to make some tween shows like Zoey 101,Hannah Montana,Drake and Josh,or High School Musical and then surrender the cartoons to those kinds of shows like Nick and Disney Channel.It's not even a cartoon so it shouldn't be on Cartoon Network.Heck The Annoucer in the ad's even says "It's Cartoon Network's first live action original series" like it's good thing.If I wanted Live action I could watch Nick or Disney.
Fried Dynamite:(I think it's only on Cartoon Network US as well)Another live action show Cn tries to pass off as a cartoon thinking little kids are blind.The Humour is overall poopy,and the host Blake whats his name has the mind of a five year old,the show was no doubt completely thought up in 5 minutes and then titled something random like it's name
El Tigre:Just a recycled dumbed down version of that old Kids WB show,Mucha Lucha.Some parts were funny I'll admit,but other wise just plain mediocre
Recent Episodes of Spongebob:Sure season 5 is getting better IMHO,but season 4 was a major disapointment.Shows me Derek Drymon(He's producing the show since Steve Hillenburg left)should just change his last name to DryMAN
Bobobo-bobobobobo-What kind of anime is this?Toonami on CN Us actually took off Tenchi Muyo,Outlaw STar,and more off for this and the crappy english dub of Yugioh GX?
Squirrel Boy:What's this?Some dumbed down recycled ideas,mixed with terrible drawings,and badly timed jokes?Good thing it's ending on CN US and it makes Gym Partner seem like Looney Tunes which is saying a lot

I have only a handful of shows that I can't stand.
1. Any show that Cartoon Network has ever produced (Except for 'Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends', 'Ed, Edd, and Eddy', 'Dexter's Laboratory', and 'Johnny Bravo'. I enjoyed 'Billy and Mandy' during it's early days, but as time went on, it got worse.)
2. Any studio audience show that The Disney Channel has produced ('Raven', 'Zack and Cody', 'Hannah Montana' etc. Although, I do enjoy their comedy shows like 'Lizzie Maguire' and 'Even Stevens'.)
3. Any reality show.
4. Mad TV. The early years had their moments that made me laugh when I saw them in reruns, like the Christmas episode where The Terminator goes back in time to save the baby Jesus. (I'm a sucker for Schwarzenegger parodies) But, I've also noticed from later reruns that the show has gotten to be less about being funny, and more about seeing how many gross gags you can get away with on Fox, and I certainly don't want anything to do with that.
5. Any Children's Show on PBS, except for Thomas, Arthur, Mister Rogers, Sesame Street, and Between the Lions. However, I really only watch the last two shows for the segments involving puppets that were made as celebrity caricatures, and not for their cringeworthy preschool writing.

Here are a couple more shows that really gets me to bite the collar of my shirt!:
Supernanny/Other related shows to this: It's not just the kids that misbehave, the bloody parents are about as useful as an ice cube in a snowstorm! Even in real life whenever I see mothers with their kids, I can tell from the tone in their voices that they never wanted their kids in the first place! I better stop incase I type something I may regret! However, ever episode is the bloody same. Parents/Kids acting like idiots, Supernanny puts it right, goes away for week to see how family cope, family don't cope, Supernanny comes back and some bizare reason, everything is put right! It's all the same!
The X Factor: It's becoming like Big Brother, a complete freak show. A friend of mine told me that people still have to go through two auditions before going into the main celebrity judge panel, which means thst only the major-talented the the circus freaks get through! Even Simon Cowell has amitted that it is all staged and yet the irony is that it is reality TV! If that show is Reality TV, then all women will find me irresistabley attractive! Never!
I apologise, but as you can guess I am in rant mode!

If single episodes count as shows, then I'd have to say that there's a number of episodes (or bits of episodes) of both "SpongeBob" and "Foster's" that I absolutely despise. I actually explained some in the threads for those shows.

Hey guys! I am officially out of school (lovin' it) and here are a few more shows I've taken a dislike to. Neighbours: Now, I don't actually hate this, but it underwent an overhaul back in July, with new camera style and new story lines. This is fine, but why did they have to do it in the MIDDLE of the bloody year? They could've done the sensible thing and waited until the new year, but no, they couldn't wait! As a result, I've lost track of of who any-one new is and what's going on, and I just don't care anymore. So You Think You Can Dance?: I can dance fine (if not a little erratically), but this show sucks. Why? The host has an unbearable voice, many of the dances the contestants do make no sense (no house or trance ) and I don't even know who the judges are. That's pure American bull-honky for you! And guess what? We're getting an Aussie version of SYTYCD? next year. At least Ms. Bathingswaite won't be as excruciating. Dora The Explorer: This girl hasn't much of a life. Though I've never really watched it, I wouldn't want to. The same is true for Bratz. How demeaning... Lazytown: It only took me one minute of a guy in a moustache break-dancing while juggling a sports candy (apple) to understand what DarthBoco was on about. Sheer ridiculousness. Any American soap drama: Why do they call them soap operas anyway? It's no musical. Collectively, I dislike them partially because of the accents, and partially because of what happens; from what i have observed, they're in one room for most of the episode, they remain there talking to and shouting at each-other, and of course, there's the obligatory staring at the end of each scene. Passions, especially, is bad because they have encounters with the supernatural! Smallville: STOP SCREWING ABOUT AND PUT ON THE SPANDEX! We need you, Superman, and we don't need one stalling episode after another. Gray's Anatomy: A hospital drama that's boring as hell, and what kind of a doctor's name is McSteamie? ;D Desperate Housewives: A residential Sex & The City, only more stupid. 'Nuff said! I've one more thing to state. Big Brother is coming back next year! And Mr. Sandilands, who's hosting it next year, claims it's guaranteed to be the best year of Big Brother yet! If I weren't doing a Multimedia course next year, I'd jump off the West Gate Bridge in the day of it's premiere. Or I can just change the channel. Hmm... I will admit, I rant incoherently a lot, but I love it!

I've three more candidates they are...
Are you smarter than a ten year old? It's a quiz show hosted by Noel Edmonds where adults are pitted against children to answer questions correctly. I feel for some reason that this show is rigged due to the majority of questions that a typical 10 year old wouldn't be taught. Also that and the latest phone in money scandals; be on your guard.
I'm a celebrity... Ugh it's back, ITV has bestowed another turd on my tv set once again, not that I mind becasue I rarely watch television these days and don't see the point of a Big Brother contestant's brother's friend's cousin's stepsister getting into another bitchfight with a degenerate.
Lazytown My reason for hating this is different to QJ's. I watch it with my baby nephew as he likes to dance along to it but I strongly detest those hideous puppets. I'd rather burn them all with a blowtorch and replace them with real people instead.

Thought I might show a little list.
Any Disney Related Show Period!
I despise every Nick Jr. show as well. In the old days, there were enjoyable Nick Jr. shows.
All the new shows on Nickelodeon, (excluding Spongebob.) Spongebob is the single most enjoyable show on that channel anymore. What ever happened to the good old days of Nickelodeon? Garfield, Kenan & Kel show, Rocko's Modern Life, perhaps? Does anyone even remember these shows anymore? (Not to mention that Nickelodeon was abbreviated to "Nick".)
Most of the new Cartoon Network episodes, but I do enjoy the occasional Billy and Mandy episode. Things like Squirrel Boy and El Tigre, which seemed to be a bit good when announced, turned out to crash and burn for many people. Cartoon Network has become very unappealing in the last 7-8 years. I have to admit, things like Ed, Edd and Eddy, Billy and Mandy, and the Anime I'll always like. It's jsut not the same anymore...

Skarloey123:I agree with you on Cartoon network,Squirrel Boy was hyped up and look it now,it's not even making new episodes,and then we've got to make this stupid live action stuff when they are called CARTOON Network for a reason.Naruto,The Eds,Billy and Mandy,etc are good,but we need back PPG,Dexter,and Johnny Bravo. More of them less Fried Dynamite,Gym Partner,and Out of Jimmy's Head.Camp Lazlo,I don't what I can say now,Foster's has too many episodes where chacters get tormented,once the before emntioned shows are gone,I might never watch CN again except for FMA repeats,Bleach,Robot Chicken and etc all of which on Adult Swim.

I thought I'd post here again, and I'd have to say that I pretty much agree with what Ben just said (although I admit that I do like some of Cartoon Network's newer shows). A personal friend of mine hates "Out of Jimmy's Head" (and the movie "Re-animated" as well) because from what I've heard from him, the animation is by the same studio as that of "Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi". He claims it was a rip-off (and I did a reference to Bloo's "rip-off artist" gag in in the "Foster's" episode "Store Wars"). Also, some mean kid has tried to convince me that the overuse of cruelty in a number of modern cartoons was funny. I tried to convince him that it's only his opinion, but he was still seeming to want to change my mind, so I could agree with him that stuff such as Mac being treated unfairly - by Bloo - in "I Only Have Surprise for You" is funny. But I still want to believe that the writers were just being harsh (and to that, I did a reference to what Timmy said to the April Fool in the "Fairly OddParents" episode, "Fool's Day Out" in that he [the April Fool, of course] was being harsh, as opposed to funny). Worse still, part of the reason that this kid seemingly tried to change my opinion was silly, too: He wanted to get the last word out of an argument or disagreement. Do any of you get what I mean by this?

I can personally sympathize with that,I mean I just want to go up and hug the characters after all they went through at the episode's end. I may sound a little strange but that's personally how I would feel

Three words: I f-ing Carly....
I expected a lot more from this show. It's so cheesy and Carly has a near perfect life that seems to have the world revolve around her (living with only a brother and no parents in a super cool apartment...even though there might be a sad reason why her parents are absent..., practially famous because of her web show, and seemingly being the smartest one on the show...ugh). Makes you actually WANT something bad to happen to her. And does anyone get a load of the acting on this show?? It's so bad and un-professional sounding as if they only recited their lines the night before for an hour. Bottom line: Drake & Josh went down for a crappy show with an actress that not many people like (at least I don't).

I'm not too fond of that show, either, J. B. King. I thought it'd probably be along the lines of Drake and Josh, but I soon saw that it was absolutely weird. There was this episode with a popular guy named Neville who called the iCarly show "iBoring". Well, he hit the nail on the head with that comment.

Man, do not get me started... XD
Most kids shows now are a load of bull, I sat through this show one day while waiting for Thomas to come on, I dunno the name but it was about lions who run a library... I mean, come on... are kids REALLY that stupid now that we have to sound out every word? I think not.
I didn't care for USA's Starter Wife or Burn Notice either... and I love House, but not the new episodes. I kinda miss the other characters, and the feud between him and Foreman is getting old ^^' Still, it's a good show XD
...And whenever mom turns on What NOT to Wear, I hide XD Stacy and Clinton are cool, but... ^^' I also think that Trading Spaces also getting old... XD
But if there's one program I cannot stand, it's Jerry Springer *shudders* T_T

The quote on Horrid Henry being a horrid show was EXTREAMLY shocking, how can you not like Francesca Simon's brilliant work? You two are probably the first HH dislikers >_<; Here are shows i hate.
Big Brother - There's no point, when you send them out the house and then they come back? Come on! And all the people do on the show is scream, moan and make annoying noises. It makes me get a headache sometimes.
El Tigre - Has the same story lines as Mucha Lucha, a show i loved as a kid!
NBB - A band of toddlers trying to get money.
The X Factor - I can't believe i used to like this. Some people going on a 'Lets make a fool of ourselves on TV.' show Trying to be rich, a complete terrible show.
JimJam and Sunny - People dressed up, skipping and hopping around like idiots! I don't even know why this doesn't scare kids!
Dora the Explorer - Stupid girl and ugly monkey doing the same thing everyday. It doesn't even teach kids anything! How can it teach kids things if the character don't speak english, only mature adults can understand this!
End of my rants.

Oh yes,good call on NBB.They're only famous for who their relatives are,in fact mommy is the entire crew and daddy payed Nick to put their show on tv.It just goes to show money is the root of all evil.Alex,I don;'t know how girls would find a kid who wears temporary tatoos and a dew rag with "MOO" on it hot. Nat couldn't sing for beans.He compares his voice with The Beatles,one of the best bands of all time to a kid with a voice that sounds like a cat stuck in a dishwasher.He can't even write a decent song and are very repetitive too. I don't know how people think their songs are so deep when all they do is take one sentence, and repeat it thorughout the entire song.People call them "The best show ever" when we are comparing it to 17 million views for High School Musical 2 and Hannah Montana on Disney Channel to a show where it only gets 1.3 something viewers when it comes on.And who can forget calling them the best band.Forget Green Day,Mark Joeseph,The Beatles,Simple Plan,Linkin Park and more,NBB is the only band that will ever be wort worshipping,always has,always will*.

1. These days anything on Disney and Nickelodeon sucks hence why i converted over to Toon Disney and Nicktoons Network. Cartoon Network on the other hand is still watchable to some extent with shows such as Fosters, Billy And Mandy and Adult Swim aka the savor of the network since Toonami sucks now. I'm surprised no one has mentioned this but KidsWB around 2005 stopped becoming watchable sure they still had Pokemon airing but everything else sucked on the network I'm glad Cartoon Network got Pokemon because WB was ordering to many edits in the episodes and Cartoon Network leaves most of the older episodes Edit Free. By that time i stopped watching KidsWB. now 4Kids is buying KidsWB meaning we'll have 2 4Kids channels (let the Khan rants start). Saturday Morning TV is slowly declining and its really sad for someone like me who grew up with Saturday morning cartoons such as Animaniacs, Pinky And The Brain, Power Rangers, and Bobby's World among other things.
2. Another thing thats been bothering me is the decline of Mainframe Entertainment. Mainframe made some of the best shows in the 90's such as Reboot and Beast Wars. However now they've been reduced to making crap *cough*barbie films*cough* hopefully the return of Reboot can save them before its too late.
3. Reality TV read what everyone else posted. I usually stay away from Live Action Shows because i think most of them are terrible.
