I'll start - I hate "The Flavor of Love".

I can't believe that US television has sunk to the point where 20 women will vie for the affections of Flava Flav - and that people would watch such a show (let alone have advertisers fund it).

Examples from your country? Including more US programs?

I much prefer the ridiculous intrawebs :D

1) American Idol
2) Survivor
3) Any and all "Reality" shows.
4) MTV.
5) VH1
6) CMT
7) The 10 religion channels I have on my 75 channel cable subscription.

Flavor of love just proves some women will fuck anyone to get on TV.

Big Brother.
Just..bah. It's terrible. And "Celebrity" Love Island.
Just reality TV in general. I don't want to watch people live, I do it quite well myself, thanks.

'Big Brother', 'Little Britain', 'I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here!'... Other such rubbish.

I love flavor of love :)

hmmm..... Big Brother, Castaway, Survivor, Pop Idol, X-factor and their ilk.

Catherine Tate is plumbing the depths of humour at the moment, whilst Peter Kay and Jonny Vegas appear to be setting off upon a voyage into the realms of "we're Northern and common, aren't we funny". Beyond that, anything on UKTV Style, or any "lifestyle" emissions, are generally bollocks.

No, seriously, I love watching idiots do, well, idiotic things, such as competing for love. :)

I don't watch TV.

well we have big brother, idol, temptation island, two shows in wich they follow a family, a show in wich a few guys search a girlfriend, 2 idol-spin-offs (1 with dogs (?) and one with general 'talents') and temptation island. (i've probably forgotten a few shows, but i don't watch a lot of television)

It's all rubbish except Doctor Who and UKTV History.

EDIT: Oh Oh! And ITV3! Best channel ever! I do love my daily Poirot.

Heh!

Separated so far in terms of politics, and yet so close in terms of savoir-quoi-est-nul!

The only thing that I thought was going to be awful that's actually quite good is Project Catwalk (none of your godawful, tame Project Runway, thanks).

"Reality" TV is exactly why I don't watch TV.

Almost everything on belgian television is a bad rip-off of something else, or just plain bad. they're even behind on almost EVERYONE with Heroes and the translations suck. Big time.

Heh!

Yep. That was quite amusing, if only because all fashionistas are either bitchy females or irredeemably campm blokes.

Beyond that, QI remains the best thing to have been introduced for a good few years.

A joke, surely? :eek:

Disturbing...

I love Alan Davies on that show.

ZOMG! I thought we were the only country who's television programming catered to the lowest common denominator.

The History Channel's fairly good too; UKTV History seems to deviate a little from history and end up showing nature programmes at times. Any idea why?

a lot of people i know in university watches temptation island. it's quite funny to watch it with a couple of friends and a few beers.

"Entertainment news" programs/channels.
Who cares what the flavor of the week is wearing?
Why the fuck is Alec Baldwin a top story?
And why is the TV Guide channel now 3/4 "E!"2?

Additionally, as a late night/early morning viewer, two commercials piss me of to no end.
Girls Gone Wild.
Just stop.
Anyone who wanted to buy it would have done so five years ago.
I don't need to be reminded of its existence with the same commercial eight times an hour.

Text message sex commercials.
Oh my god... why?
The fact that these make up the other 50% of commercials after 10:00 is ridiculous.
The fact that they are on the air at all means that people are actually using them.
People are seriously getting off to an automated response message.
And they are paying $4.99 per text message received.
Those tards should just type out their own transcript on MS Word and save themselves some money, and save me the annoyance of those fucking commercials.

Discovery is good, just 'cause of Mythbusters.

In a way though, it means that theres hope for us all....

Aren't the Idol shows just a talent competition? I don't watch them, but I'm not offended by them like some people are...

There's a show on Lifetime that I saw the preview for.. something about a girls and a vampire.. looked very.. lame.

I love Ridiculous Television. :)

We are with many.

Off-topic: lots of Belgians in General...

I think it's impressive, considering what a small country it is.

Nobody expects the Belgian Inquisition!!!!!

MTV and its crap, Lifetime, One Tree Hill, the O.C., American Idol, and any other reality show.

Actually, make that any Amerian TV show ever, execpt TDS and Colbert Report. And South Park.

On a side note I'd liek to say that Degrassi:TNG was a very good show until the whole Craig/Manny/Ashley thing... But Degrassi is Canadian, and I am not.

All reality-tv, 8oz Mouse, Squidbillies, everything FOX hasn't canceled...
