    The British bake off!

    How could I forget that.

    So so shit.

    And my mates watch it and talk about it on watsap.

    Still baffled.

    I'm truly amazed at how many times Mrs Browns Boys has been mentioned.
    Huge viewing figures, sell out tour dates.
    Since it first started, I've personally turned on quite a number of people into watching it, all of whom love it.

    Broadchurch.

    Never got the appeal to this either. Thought the dialogue was the clumsiest I've heard in a long time and something about the direction irritates me.

    One of my favourite posts on here ever was @Baubles about Bake Off (and people going to a pub in Clapham to watch the final)

    Agree about Mrs Browns Boys. Funny as bad AIDS.

    I'm glad a couple of other people have said Game Of Thrones as I didn't want to be 'that guy'.

    It's great that people are so in to a tv show but I got about half way through the 1st series & gave up. It does nothing for me at all

    All this thread proves is that surprise surprise, not everyone likes the same tv shows. A show that one person might think is great, someone else will hate. That's pretty much a way of life.

    Reminds me of the thread we had on here once about comedians you dislike, and i think at some point during the thread, literally EVERY top well known comedian was mentioned.

    I'm resurrecting this thread because ladyromford has recently discovered an appalling programme called Gilmore Girls, she is now hooked and I need to get this of my chest...

    I don't know if it's got much of a U.K. following, but it's apparently huge in the US and there are about 8 series of this enormous turd of a show.
    It's possibly the most annoying, pointless, badly written, badly acted, brain rotting, paper thin plotted pile of shite I've ever had the misfortune of seeing. It's like the worst soap opera ever, with occasional bits that are supposed to be funny, but just make my teeth itch.

    Lady R and I have some shared tv interests and some differing ones, but usually I'm able to sit and read or something while she watches her shows and it doesn't bother me.
    This show, however, makes me want to physically assault someone.
    When I'm in the room, I can't help but hear the atrocious storylines being hammily played out in this fucking ridiculous chocolate box town where everyone is a quirky stereotype and the audience is supposed to give a shit about the first world problems of a couple of privileged women.
    "Oh no! My grandfather has paid for my college education and won't allow me to pay him back!"
    "Oh no! I can't decide whether to go to Harvard or Yale!"
    "Oh no! Some of the quirky locals are making it slightly difficult for me to expand my unfathomably successful business!"
    "Oh no! I can't choose which of these really nice boys to go out with!"
    FUCKING FUCK THE FUCKING FUCK OFF.
    I don't know why it angers me so much, but it REALLY DOES! I hate it. I've had to insist that Lady R watches it when I'm out. It's for her own safety as, if she doesn't, I'm likely to smash the living room up.
    Don't watch it and, if you have a partner, do not let them watch it either. If they, for some bizarre incomprehensible reason, like it, you'll be kicking puppies before you know it.

    And.......relax.

    Game of Thrones. However well acted, produced and written it may be, sorry, I just can't do that fantasy stuff.

    And I keep on seeing the same one where the dwarf geezer is on a boat going into a gorge with beasts flying overhead. Wtf.

    Mrs Browns Boys.
    anything With the TV Mafia in , Philip Scofield/Ant & Dec/ Stephen Mulhern/Holly Willoughby they monopolise nearly every program and should have a channel dedicated to them, much easier to avoid by putting them in one place together .

    Just reading through this and echo your thoughts about giving ant and Dec and Philip schofield etc they're own channel

    It always pisses me off when they say ant and Dec have been voted most popular presenter double act for the 13th year in a row at the national TV awards. It's like Celtic winning the SPL. A) irrelevant and b) there's no fucking competition so who cares

    Everyone's got their own tastes, but I cannot get how anyone doesn't like the Sopranos. Just finished it on Wednesday.

    But its not best double act - it is best presenter award.

    I got about 3/4 through season 1 and decided that the freshly painted wall downstairs was more interesting viewing.

    Proper snore-fest, although I know I'm well in the minority.
