I say screw Fox for 3 reasons Sports (Hate em) How can you hate sports?  Seriously, sports (competition in general) makes life worth living...man, I get INSANE about my sports. Unless of course, you mean Baseball, Basketball, or Pro-Football. Then yeah, screw 'em. However, I don't know what I'd do without hockey and college football. |

Meh just really don't like em, to me it's boring when it goes right and only fun when it goes wrong and someone gets into a major fist fight, then I'm interested, but really that's too much waiting...
or those cheesy B list movies about Sports that usually have a better cast then plot....oh Rick Morranis and John Candy you actually make Kid's Football and Bobsledding good to me.

See, now I'll agree with you there. Sports movies tend to suck...HARD.  There's something about professional hockey though...I suppose it's its unpredictable and explosive nature that just gets me fired up. You don't know if the guy with the puck is gonna slap that damn thing for all it's worth or toss down his gloves and knock the snot out of someone. I love that! ;D And with college football, it's all heart so I feel it when a team wins and when they lose...I get all sorts of worked up with these two particular sports. I'm just so manly, I suppose.  |

Sports can be fun to actually play, but usually too boring to watch. Only time I watch any is when my home team is in the playoffs or if I'm waiting for an accident or a fight to break out.
One of my favorite sports to watch in the Summer Olympics was BMX racing. Right when a race began, 3 or more people would topple over as soon as they left the gate. Now that's entertainment!
Especially baseball. I don't think one time in my life I was able to sit through a whole game without falling asleep. Rather than discouraging fighting they should use it as a sort of tie-breaker. If the teams are tied at the end of the ninth, both teams players coaches, mascots, and all charge each other. Whichever team has the most people left standing win the game.
And lastly, Curling? What's the deal with that?

I never understood why everyone thinks Family Guy is so funny. Sure, I'll watch it if there's absolutely nothing else on, but it's really overrated.
That being said, what the hell happened to Disney Channel? Who remembers Even Stevens, The Famous Jett Jackson, Lizzie McGuire (don't judge me!), So Weird, and all of those other shows that actually had above-mediocre acting? I flip through the channels, and stumble upon Disney Channel-- no one in any of their new shows can act! Why? Same with Nickelodeon. I grew up on the great Nicktoons of the 90s. Now everything they show on Nickelodeon relies on bathroom jokes for their humor.
Other than that, I'm not really into any primetime shows-- not that I hate them, I just have time or interest to watch them.
And I actually do love the reality shows on VH1. Don't judge me.

I haven't watched TRL since around 2000. At that point there was more talking than actual videos being shown, so no real loss with that being canceled.
I really liked the first 8 seasons of the Simpsons, but after that it just wasn't worth watching anymore. I've heard it has gotten better recently, but I still have no desire to go back to it.

When Cartoon Network canceled all of their good shows and replaced them with steaming piles of crap, I stopped watching.
And how anyone can like "reality" shows baffles me...

Don't judge me. Ah yes, the Nickelodeon of my youth...how I miss you! Seriously, that channel just went to shit as the years went on but I remember some greatness from my youth (I was particularly fond of Are You Afraid of the Dark?). I don't know what the hell the execs of that channel were thinking (I believe they're owned by the same people that own MTV...go figure)...but it could also be due to my age. Perhaps those shows did suck and I was too young to understand it at the time (save Pete and Pete...always disliked that show  ). The Nicktoons of the early 90's were good to. I was especially fond of Rocko's Modern Life (but I had no use whatsoever for Ren and Stimpy because they freaked me the hell out ) In terms of VH1, I was in love with Pop-up Video. Once they stopped showing that, I gave up on the music channels (I never had an interest in MTV). I think the dorkiest thing I liked when growing up was Ghostwriter. Come on, who remembers Ghostwriter? *laughs* |

OMFG Ghostwriter!!! I'm with you on that one. I thought it was hilarious how the token black kid's name was Jamal. And then Lenny thought she was a rapper and made a music video with the Ghostwriter crew. Shit-tastic!

I loved Lenni when I was younger because I was such a huge tomboy. *laughs* And what the hell was up with Gabbi and her brother Alex? That show was so stupid, but at the same time, ruled so much ass. I suppose this IS off the topic of 'most hated shows' though. |

Speaking of topic Kris if you're reading add "/movies" to the title, because there is one shit stain that needs to be addressed....HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL! Of all the crap Disney put out this has to be the creme de le shit, the grand poo bah of bad, a movie that makes even Batman and Robin look like Citizen Kane.....okay that's a little to harsh...HSM makes B&R look like Mary Poppins, because first off all, High School is NOT that fun at ALL
Second they use the POPULAR sterotypes as the main characters, no Otaku or Video Game player, no they GOTTA have the Jocks and Preppies...
I'd have more to bitch about but that'd mean actually sitting through this...DO NOT WANT PLZ.

I personally thing the fact that they actually used high school stereotypes could further give the elementary and middle school audiences unrealistic expectations about high school. I will give HSM some credit, though. While it's hella cheesy and a sugar-coated version of what high school really is, I think it can get kids interested in the arts. But I'm a huge musical theatre freak, so maybe I'm biased. One movie I absolutely hated was Superbad. Why why why why why why why why WHY do people think that movie is the funniest thing ever?! |

One long series I can't stand are the scary movie/parody type movies. Whoever made these should have realized after Scary Movie 1 that these were a failed experiment.
Another 2 shows from Comedy Central that should never have seen the light of day was the cartoon with George Bush as a kid and "Shorties Watchin' Shorties". The premise alone on the first show I mentioned should be enough for you to know how terrible it was. "Shorties Watchin' Shorties" pretty much took "Premium Blend" (the show with a bunch of skits from different comedians) and added 2 annoying babies commentating between each comedic bit. Why did they think this was a good idea? Airing an episode of "Premium Blend" instead would have worked just fine.
I just thought up another show from Comedy Central, "Crank Yankers". I admit a few of the skits were funny, but for the most part, the characters weren't funny just irritating. Especially Special Ed. I hope on the final episode one of the people he called found out where he lived, drove to his house, and beat him to death with a rusty pipe. Yes, I'm suggesting that Comedy Central show a retarded puppet getting beat to death.

I just saw a trailer for a film called Dance Movie by the same Scary/Date/Epic/Disaster Movie people. Considering the fact that Disaster Movie currently holds the #1 spot for the worst movies of all time on imdb.com, you'd think that the makers of those films would finally realize that THEY JUST DON'T WORK. Seriously. |
