Originally posted by Lurrr: Yeah, but DS9 was just a rip-off of Babylon 5
I could stand DS9 to begin with but it just changed from what Star Trek was about originally. Call me an old-school trekkie but I think Star Trek reached its peak with TNG, and I'd be content to finish the series there. However, I think we can all agree that Voyager was way beyond the point of no return, and they really should have let it die with honor. Agreed on V'Ger (although some episodes was pretty good, especially those centered around Doc), not so much on TNG being the peak of Star Trek, that honor definetely belong to DS9. The problem with V'Ger was that the show-runners lost their focus and forgot what the show was all about. Instead they settled for TNG Lite and Borg eye candy. And it took you 9 hours to notice that I'd attacked DS9? C'mon Teral, you're getting slow All part of getting old and forgetful. Don't worry it'll happen to you too. Originally posted by PCC Fred: And although I'd disagree with Lurr over how good DS9 was, in many ways DS9 was seperate to the rest of the Star Trek franchise, That's exactly what made it so great. By season 6-7 of TNG I had come dislike the squeaky clean, goody-good Federation, with their hollier-than-you attitude. DS9 gave the Federation a shot of much needed humanity. Shows I despise: "Big Brother" - Seriously someone enlighten me. What's so damn interesting about a bunch of attention-whoring, bitchy and down-right unsympathetic people under 24-hour surveillance? News programs that claim they can give you a news update in 3 minutes. I watch news programs to learn what's happening in the world, not just to see a bunch of gory pictures and buzz-words. Give me some professional news-coverage, not a damn clipshow.

1. Soapies and Daytime Soapies 2. Anything with Eddie Maguire on it. On that note, let me tell you a quote I heard at the recent Melbourne Comedy Festival. "Television is a powerful tool. Then again, so is Eddie Maguire." : 3. Hospital/law/police dramas (one exception: Scrubs) where the only drama is in the characters' social/sex lives. (Spot on, Ghoulishmoose!) 4. "Talent Shows" (like We'll Call You) with people coming on stage, dancing, doing bad comedy, etcetera. 5. Cheesy American high school shows (spot on again, Ghoulishmoose!) 6. World's Funniest Home Videos, and stuff like that. 7. Kids' real life comedy/drama/action. I mean, come on! Nobody on these shows can act! Shows like the one with that obnoxious fox (Boom boom!), Ship To Shore and The Saddle Club are the worst. When we were little, we watched good stuff like Blinky Bill, Tiny Toon Adventures and Widget. 8. Everybody Loves Raymond. (Basically, nobody loves Raymond.) 9. The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Average Joe, Joe Millionaire, The Bachelor II... 10. Shows that advertise as being "Extreme" or "X-treme". Stuff I do like: 1. Futurama!!! 2. Whose Line Is It Anyway? (US version) 3. The Office 4. Dead Ringers (TV version) 5. Kath and Kim 6. Survivor 7. Spaced 8. Family Guy 9. CNNNN 10. Queer Eye For The Straight Guy

I don't like reality TV, soaps or game shows, I can't put a top ten most hated as I just don't watch these shows so can't rank them.

No particular order...
1. As Told by Ginger- 'nuff said.
2. Maury- "My daughter is a fat-ass slut!"
3. Post 2000 Rugrats- Started to slip with Dil, but Kimi absolutely killed it.
4. The Simple Life- I just...Hate it.
5. The Daily Show- No reason in particular
6. Emeril- I can't watch it. I love pretty much all other cooking shows, but Emeril is just...blah. (Elzar rocks, though)
7. Lizzie McGuire- [sings]I hate Hilary Duff, how I hate her so...[/sing]
8. Maizy- AHH!! THE COLORS! Plus the stories are crap.
9. The Osbournes- If I wanted to watch people swear and be annoying, I'd get in an arguement with my sister.
10. Almost Everything Else you guys have mentioned.

Originally posted by aslate: I hate reality TV, but i don't really class "Faking It" as reality TV, it's not the same sort of thing, more of a documentary style programme. Anyway, i agree, it's a great show. I also wanted to kill that Cambridge student (That's the punk-chick one isn't it?). Yep that was the one. She reminded me of me a few years ago, constantly arguing just for the sake of being right. She clearly had no idea what she was talking about in the beginning yet still felt the need to argue with Harry anyway. Also Cambridge uni really looks sucky. Faking It is reality TV since it's real people in real surroundings filmed unscripted. It just so happens that each episode has much of the boring bits cut and 4 weeks is condensed into one hour, as opposed to Big Brother where 4 weeks is drawn out over four long tiresome weeks, complete with the unintelligent bints' attempts at conversation and lots of clips of people sleeping, eating, reading. Ooh, entertaining. Also in Faking It at least there is a task, whereas Big Brother, Pop Idol et al are all just a poor popularity contest.

Well, the 12 year old in the house agrees with me.. she thinks most of the cartoons listed here suck as well. I think there's a marked difference between a show made to appeal to children and a show that's just immature. Of course, I have a taste for slightly subversive children's cartoons, like Invader Zim or Dave the Barbarian[not quite as sly, but close. Can you deny a villain named "Chuckles the Silly Piggy"?]. Shows that acknowledge their absurdity. Most live action for kids today.. like Lizzy McGuire, etc, are less mature than most animation.

Well there is alot of TV I don't like, so instead of listing "All Reality TV, Soaps, Milked franchises, MTV/VH1/E! shows etc.", (Those go without saying) I'm just going to list shows that I hate inparticular. These are not in any order.
X. Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (Singles gays down to stereotypes, and is a terrible concept) IX. American Idol (Like we need more garbage flooding the music industry) VIII. The Swan (This is as low and shallow as reality shows get; but as with all of the genre, something will outdo this piece of shit concept before to long) VII. The Osbournes (Who in the hell thinks watching people live is entertaining?) VI. Chappelle's Show (Racial humor is not, or never has been, funny in my opinion) V. Mad TV (Apparently making goofy faces and talking in a stupid voice is enough to make people laugh according to this show; at least SNL had some funny skits) IV. Jerry Springer (The show that shows just how poor we Americans can really be) III. Pokemon/Dragon Ball Z/Yu-Gi-OH/etc. (Only there for the merchandising) II. Televangelest's (sp?) (Hey! Give us money and we'll put in a good word for you with the lord, whom we can't even prove is real!) I. Top 100 anything by E! ( The host voice is annoying, the selections obviously are picked by teeny-boppers, and overall it is a cheap and ignorent way to get ratings)
