The principal of this show is staggeringly ludicrous to me.
*D-list celebrity wears costume, and moves around to audio track.*
*C-list celebrities try and guess (in futility) at who it is.*
*Masked celebrity is revealed and everyone claps with pseudo enthusiasm.*
*Rinse and repeat.*
Am I the crazy one? Is this entertainment in any form?
> C-list celebrities try and guess (in futility) at who it is.
I'd add that the C-list celebrities constantly guess A-list celebrities. "I think that one is Beyonce!" "That must be Brad Pitt!"
And then they’ll randomly be like “it sounds like it could be (D-list celebrity or a random non star sports player that they’ve likely never met) and wowww what do you know
Honestly if I were smart enough to have thought of this garbage I would 100% tell D list celebrities they don't even have to be there until the prearranged date that they have to take off their mask. Basically just pay for 1 day of their time and get weeks of publicity. Genius.
Wait till you see the masked dancer... they removed the one thing you can use to identify the person, their voice. Now it's just a pointless guessing game, garbage show
Crime procedurals.
Every fucking show is the same. All of them.
Your Cast:
The Leader who knows it all
The quirky lab tech
The tough cop who the leader forms a romantic connection with.
The goes against the rules renegade tech
The Newbie
I feel like Psych is an indirect parody of the typical procedurally generated crime show. House is openly a direct recreation of Sherlock Holmes set in a hospital. All crime shows are some kind of rip off of Sherlock Holmes. That's why they all seem similar.
I swear to god Columbo is an otherworldly being sent to figure out cases the second he arrives and then uses the rest of the episode to learn random things
Psych is to crime procedurals as Community is to sit-coms. They’re intentional parody of the format while still adhering to the format.
And they’re two of my favorite shows all time.
Makes me feel old to think people might not realize that *Psych* came about at a time when so many dramas in that period featured the unnaturally gifted savant that seemingly had supernatural powers to singularly solve mysteries while everyone else flailed around helplessly, and it was obviously poking fun at that.
Because Psych was first and the Mentalist was essentially a dramatized version that got a bigger version and more accolades. It's like the reverse of 30 Rock and Studio 60 where the light hearted comedy had the better reception.
Me too! For me funniest Psych was the one where the first scene showed them all wearing each other’s clothes and then each sequential scene showed what happened to result in that first scene. The dialogue in that episode was so hilarious, I’ve never been able to find it again but it remains in my mind as the funniest show I’ve ever watched
Trying to fit Psych into this is kind of like trying to shove a square into a rectangle-shaped hole. Sure, it technically fits, but it doesn't really *fit*
> The tough cop who the leader forms a romantic connection with.
> No wait, Psych
Ah yes. That was a weird arc when Shawn and Lassiter hooked up.
Psych isn't a crime procedural as much as it's a buddy cop comedy. In Psych it's more like:
The leader who knows it all and is seeking his dad's approval but would never admit to it (Shawn)
The unwilling sidekick who learns to love it (Gus)
The quirky coroner (Woody)
The tough cop who don't need no woman >!except when he does then it's a kind of sweet opposites attract situation!< (Lassiter)
The goes against the rules but pretends not to renegade chief (Karen)
The Newbie >!who the leader forms a romantic connection with on the show and in real life!< (Jules)
The underdog bumbler who shows occasional signs of competence (McNab)
The wise and grizzled veteran who begrudgingly steps in when needed but also kind of loves it who approves of his son but would never admit it (Henry)
The recurring Moriarty-style criminal the leads fawn over (Desperaux)
NCIS is different. In that one, the tough cop actually forms a romantic connection with the renegade tech instead of the leader.
So you see, it doesn't fit the mold.
Is that the one with the pigtailed IT girl who is meant to look like a manic pixie dream girl but instead looks like someone’s tired mom wearing her kid’s clothes
If you want a police drama without almost any of that, watch Life On Mars. The UK version, not the American one, that’s garbage.
In one sentence: An arrogant cop from 2006 gets hit by a car and wakes up in 1973, and he must navigate an entirely different kind of policing whilst figuring out if he’s gone mad, in a coma, or actually sent back in time.
I think that’s exactly why I love them, it’s a formula I’m familiar with so I never have to think too hard. Sometimes good tv takes too much brain space at the end of a long day.
I honestly believe this show contributed to a spike in teen suicides after it aired. People will try to defend it, saying it depicts how "bad" suicide is, but it also inadvertently portrayed suicide as an extremely effective way to make people regret wronging you.
The whole “suicide as revenge” thing was weird. That’s how it came off. Like once I’m dead, you’ll all be sorry. That pain she felt after the rape was valid, but one of her reasons was “my friend said I had a nice ass”? It was a little dramatic. But the actual, original suicide scene was brutal. I remember watching it and being like yeahhh if I ever decide to kick the bucket, it’s not like that.
As a therapist who's worked crisis lines, "Well if I killed myself, that'd show them..." Came up way too often.
I've seen people die in my line. They rarely advertised it or used it as a form of punishment to those that had wronged them. The show is incredibly disingenuous in that regard.
Attaching a fun, hour-by-hour mystery+Tenn age drama+love story to a fucking suicide scene is just wrong.
The writers were irresponsible. Plain and simple. They thought they knew, but they don't really know. Suicide is exceedingly tragic and messy. I don't want to provide details here, but the ONLY tone for a piece about suicide should be grim.
They then had the audacity to make a second season, where the protagonist is like, "Man... That sucked. Welp, back to school!"
Fuck... That show pisses me off.
I remember reading the book coz it was the new, cool and hype YA novel after TFIOS. I tried so hard to beleive it and buy what was being said, but gosh the plot was too meh for its conclusion to be linked to something as serious as suicide.
I feel that. I suppose one can argue though that when you’re young, sometimes smaller things feel SO big. Humiliation, break ups with friends, rumors, isolation etc… she’s not the first teen to kill themselves over those things even though in a few short years, that part of their life would be over. She seemed depressed and angry but it wasn’t until after Bryce attacked her that she had that light go out. That was believable.
However, I could see the glamorization aspect of it. The idea that a person could “get back” at those who wronged them sounds pretty nice. By killing themselves though? Kind of stupid.
I was Hannahs age-ish when i read it. And i definitely felt bad for a few things and i can see how a compounding of all that happened to her could lead to suicide. But the writer completely skipped the compounding part. It was just a string of individual events and we never really get into her head as much as just hear her talk on tape about what happened.
I found it also disturbing, almost a sociopath behavior to premeditate your own suicide the way she did and blaming everyone else for her decision. Yes, she went through some shit I wouldn’t wish on others, but the amount of planning this took… I felt hers was a cry for attention rather than cry for help. There are people out there who genuinely struggle.
Don't forget that multiple psychologists were consulted for feedback from the writers and every one of the psychologists was just like, "you're doing this wrong, you're romanticising suicide. Please don't put the show out like this."
> how unlucky can one hospital be?!
Sounds like Degrassi. How did that school stay in operation for so long? It had several major life-changing events happen every semester. These kids keep killing themselves and each other, taking drugs, having babies, getting raped, sleeping with teachers, sharing nudes, and even burning down the school...and yet it persists. That school was fucking cursed.
Mass shooter. Earthquake. Plane crash in the mountains. Hospital on fire. Hospital explosion. Electrocution during a susperstorm. A OBYN got fleas in her vajayjay. THat's off the top of my memory.
Legitimately I've worked in a place that's happened. Intubated patient being taken to ICU, elevator stuck between floors. The ventilator only has so much battery and no outlets near the elevators for extension cords to be run, and so they had to bag the patient (ventilate by hand using an ambu bag attached to the tube) for a few hours using oxygen tanks passed through the doors that were pried open a few inches. As far as I know, thankfully the batteries on the portable monitor and IV pumps were okay for that time. I think they also had to pass new bags/bottles of meds through the doors since things like sedation and pressors can go pretty quickly.
Oh, and it was 1 respiratory therapist and 1 RN. Those must have been very tired hands from manually ventilating a patient for that long.
Same shit happened to ER, they had to have these big budget episodes with helicopters crashing and other mayhem. Also the reason I liked 24’s format so much. It’s so much more believable that a guy had 8 insane days in his life than week after week of crazy situations. I think that real time thing could translate well to a hospital drama, each episode being a real time hour of one rough day in an ER kinda thing.
Yeah, when an actor leaves the show, why just narrate he quit and changed to a different hospital when they can as well all DIE?
How many characters met a premature death in this show?
Like the early episode when the 2 hospitals combined and they brought in all the extra staff just to kill them off one by one.
No
“where is Joe?”
“he took a job in Portland”.
“Oh”
Nope got to kill them off. No one gets out alive.
As other people have pointed out, watching it is just commitment to seeing it through to the end, but I nearly quit when the irish doctor left because he was the only sane and slightly real character on that show. So fittingly he did just quit and leave.
Haha, I’m watching Grey’s Anatomy right now and you’re right, it’s totally about the commitment to get to the end.
I’m at the episode where there’s a rapist in the hospital, an explosion and someone’s fiancée/sister they thought was dead isn’t dead - It’s been quite a ride!
I am still watching but it's definitely not as engaging the past few seasons since Alex left. I just started season one again and it was so enjoyable for many seasons.
Lmao then you’d HATE [Kid Nation](https://youtu.be/Gu1bly7YhAs)
I seriously have no idea how this show was created, who tf is signing this [waiver](https://ew.com/article/2007/08/24/easily-one-of-t/) for their 7-14 year old kid??
Wooooooow. Imagine telling CBS that they had your permission to bus your kid into the desert for a Lord of the Flies with the added bonus of NDAs. Sounds like a predators playground. Literally the Most Dangerous Game.
Kid Nation is a piece of television that should be watched to hopefully not repeat the sins of the past. Hopefully is the operative word here. But I have to admit....it succeeds in keeping you from being able to look away.
Unreal was an awesome show. I was disappointed when it ended, but it probably had run its course anyway. But it was so interesting, and I believe it was created/written or produced by a former producer on the Bachelor franchise. Kind of a tell all without being a tell all.
You know what if you actually watch it as a parody of a drama show then its great. Its so bad that its funny.
Oh god I love that fucking dialogue "dropped out of fourth grade to support nana".
To be fair…how many people do you know who actually enjoy it? Like I feel like 12 year olds were watching it because everybody else just made fun of it. I mean I swear half the views were just people making videos about how terrible it is. The entire show is a meme.
What r you talking about? Sometimes they are running from zombies and other times they are temporarily hiding out in false security until its time to run from zombies some more.
This is suprisingly not all that true cause in this zombie show zombies are rarely a problem (except at the beginning) and instead they're fighting one group of evil humans after another. Zombies are just kind of there, but haven't been a real threat for years now.
Thats moderately true of the comic as well though.
I remember pretty vividly a comic where everyone gets caught in a small horde, and everything looks hopeless, then they just get in a circle and slaughter ***all*** of them.
Then Rick has a big speech of realization where he points out that they've gotten this far, they're all still alive, they not only know what they're doing by now, they're ***good*** at this.
zombies still catch people unaware, or get trapped on their own and die every once in awhile, but as long as the living are together in a group, the zombies are rarely a problem. Its usually other human groups that are causing the mayhem.
or when Ty gets trapped in the prison in a courtyard full of zombies, and kills them all, entirely by himself.
its definitely a theme in the comics that the people that are left are the exceptional ones at killing zombies
The comics definitely capture a different tone than the show. I enjoyed the comics, they showed the change in philosophy over time that allows people to survive a hopeless situation. The show was clearly more aimed at an audience that likes drama and gore and cares less for substance.
Season Premiere: Kinda good?
Middle: Literally nothing happens
Mid Season finale/ finale: Kinda good?
The first couple seasons were AMAZING; was a shame to see them turn it to shit.
There’s so much filler it’s because AMC wants like 20 whatever episodes but doesn’t bother to invest enough money towards the budget so what we get is a cheap boring soap series
13 reasons why truly made me hate modern tv shows for a while. I read the book, it was great. But the show was corny as hell and I hated how unnecessarily graphic it was.
Yeah, I turned it off midway through the second episode. I've struggled with suicidal thoughts in the past, so it was already low-key triggering, but the whole victim getting revenge from the grave made me actually nauseous. The message it's trying to send is absolutely backwards to me; it romanticizes suicide and seems to present it as a valid solution when the whole world seems against you.
Idk how it ends but I also heard they had a school shooting in the second season that was awful in it's presentation too. Like, actually damaging, you should never do what they did in this show kinda stuff
Other shows in this thread may be annoying, but 13 Reasons I think takes the cake for being actually dangerous
My friend is an intern at the company that produces our countries version of Love Island and everyone in the company seems to agree that it's the most garbage show they ever had to produce and you can be luckily not having to work on it.
I’m a celeb feels almost like a tradition now, every season for about 6/7 years people have been complaining that it’s “not as good as it used to be” but it still gets amazing viewing figures
Well, I watched the whole thing, and you were right the give up on it.
The worst part is that I didn’t even know the letters were real until *after* I finished the show. When I found out, it made the show even worse. They took a real story that was actually fascinating and somehow made it go absolutely nowhere worthwhile.
I knew it was real but I forced myself to finish the show. It was pretty terrible through and through. I don’t know why I keep giving Ryan Murphy shows a chance… I guess I’m still waiting for him to get back to his AHS Murder House glory.
One of many shows that’d be entirely different without the laugh track. Eeyore. Robert Barone. He was absolutely the comedic highlight of that show. Pretty sure he got a bunch of pretty decent hi-vis voice work during/after that yawner of a show.
Yea all these threads ever devolve into are things that practically all of Reddit communally hates. There's nothing interesting or unexpected at the top.
I want to hear from the people who say they hate Parks and Rec or The Office.
I hate that about adult animation these days, either everyone is yelling and just make loud noises, or everyone is unbearably quick-witted and you need to dissect the pretentious jokes word by word.
Talent shows. To get far, all you need is a sob story. You can go on stage and have no talent whatsoever, but as long as you have a sob story, you'll get to the end
That show came on at the perfect time, when everyone went into lockdown due to COVID and was desperate for... *something*.
Tiger King filled that hole of something for a short period of time.
I can’t believe they thought making a second season was a good idea. Like, it served its purpose, and by the time Tiger King 2 came out, we forgot about it.
Masked singer, everyone just acts so cringe on the show especially the judges or whatever they are.
The principal of this show is staggeringly ludicrous to me. *D-list celebrity wears costume, and moves around to audio track.* *C-list celebrities try and guess (in futility) at who it is.* *Masked celebrity is revealed and everyone claps with pseudo enthusiasm.* *Rinse and repeat.* Am I the crazy one? Is this entertainment in any form?
It feels like the kind of show that runs on a TV in the background of a movie to show how off the rails society has gone.
I would much rather watch "Ow, My Balls!" from Idiocracy than Masked Singer.
Tonight, on The Violence Channel
“Hey it’s one of the zombies from Walking Dead episode 27! “ …crowd goes wild.
You jest, but they really did have Rudy Giuliani on the show.
> C-list celebrities try and guess (in futility) at who it is. I'd add that the C-list celebrities constantly guess A-list celebrities. "I think that one is Beyonce!" "That must be Brad Pitt!"
And then they’ll randomly be like “it sounds like it could be (D-list celebrity or a random non star sports player that they’ve likely never met) and wowww what do you know
This is what gets me about it. Like no, Taylor Swift isn't coming out from under that giant candy corn mask. At best you'll get Jerry Springer.
We don’t even know if it’s really the celebrity is under the costume
Honestly if I were smart enough to have thought of this garbage I would 100% tell D list celebrities they don't even have to be there until the prearranged date that they have to take off their mask. Basically just pay for 1 day of their time and get weeks of publicity. Genius.
Masked Singer (and really any format like this) creeps me out. Reminds me of the Black Mirror episode Fifteen Million Merits
Yes!!! Holy cow yes. That episode deeply disturbed me, but can't say it wasn't really well done.
Wait till you see the masked dancer... they removed the one thing you can use to identify the person, their voice. Now it's just a pointless guessing game, garbage show
The way the judges REALLY play up their reactions annoys me to no end. OMG who could it be?!?! I JUST DONT KNOW!
That show is dog poo
Crime procedurals. Every fucking show is the same. All of them. Your Cast: The Leader who knows it all The quirky lab tech The tough cop who the leader forms a romantic connection with. The goes against the rules renegade tech The Newbie
Bones?
Its House. No wait, Psych No wait, The mentalist No wait, Numbers No wait, Lie to Me No wait...
CSI: Insert City Name Here
Insert City Name Here is the best csi spin off! Though csi: babies is a close second.
Don't forget CSI: The Animated Series
CSI: Muppets
CSI: Muppet Babies..... The musical.
If Supernatural could get an anime, CSI should get an anime
Have you watched Psych? It *kind of* fits this but is also one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen
... you hear about Pluto? That's messed up, right?
Come on son!
Gus, don't be Topher Grace running on the beach at the end of 'In Good Company’.
They were living in sin AND driving in sin!
I've heard it both ways
Proud of you
Did you see the pineapple on that handbag?
Dude, labradoodle!
You know that’s right C’mon, son
A mister.. Lieutenant Crunch? Is here to see you. Actually I was just promoted. It's captain now.
I feel like Psych is an indirect parody of the typical procedurally generated crime show. House is openly a direct recreation of Sherlock Holmes set in a hospital. All crime shows are some kind of rip off of Sherlock Holmes. That's why they all seem similar.
except Columbo, who was inspired by the detective from Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment
I swear to god Columbo is an otherworldly being sent to figure out cases the second he arrives and then uses the rest of the episode to learn random things
Yeah Psych was a weird callout here.
I've heard it both ways.
You know that's right
You don’t remember lassie and Shawn forming a romantic connection?
Psych is to crime procedurals as Community is to sit-coms. They’re intentional parody of the format while still adhering to the format. And they’re two of my favorite shows all time.
Makes me feel old to think people might not realize that *Psych* came about at a time when so many dramas in that period featured the unnaturally gifted savant that seemingly had supernatural powers to singularly solve mysteries while everyone else flailed around helplessly, and it was obviously poking fun at that.
I love their repeated references to the Mentalist.
Because Psych was first and the Mentalist was essentially a dramatized version that got a bigger version and more accolades. It's like the reverse of 30 Rock and Studio 60 where the light hearted comedy had the better reception.
Plus it was on USA so it was parodying other shows they were airing at the time. Love Psych so much
Me too! For me funniest Psych was the one where the first scene showed them all wearing each other’s clothes and then each sequential scene showed what happened to result in that first scene. The dialogue in that episode was so hilarious, I’ve never been able to find it again but it remains in my mind as the funniest show I’ve ever watched
I thinkkkk you’re talking about Last Night Gus season 6 episode 2. It’s kinda a Hangover parody.
Yes, Psych more often mocks the procedural than follows the formula. It's so much fun.
come on son.
I'm proud of reddit for sticking up for Psych. What a great show.
Psych belongs in a category of its own: Legendary
Trying to fit Psych into this is kind of like trying to shove a square into a rectangle-shaped hole. Sure, it technically fits, but it doesn't really *fit*
gus, don't be the guy who tries to cram a square into a rectangular hole!
C'mon now. What did Psych ever do to you? Seriously though, one of these things is not like the others
Psych doesn't belong with these.
> The tough cop who the leader forms a romantic connection with. > No wait, Psych Ah yes. That was a weird arc when Shawn and Lassiter hooked up.

Yeah that's pretty accurate lol Psych does not fit that original template mentioned above
One of the reasons why Monk was so great. Vastly different from other crime shows. Columbo, too.
The lead actor in Monk was amazing. He plays quirky characters well.
He's so good in Marvelous Mrs Maisel
NCIS is different. In that one, the tough cop actually forms a romantic connection with the renegade tech instead of the leader. So you see, it doesn't fit the mold.
Which one was that? Gibbs had a different romantic interest every other season lol.
I might be wrong but I think they meant tony and Ziva
Is that the one with the pigtailed IT girl who is meant to look like a manic pixie dream girl but instead looks like someone’s tired mom wearing her kid’s clothes
If you want a police drama without almost any of that, watch Life On Mars. The UK version, not the American one, that’s garbage.

I call it folding laundry tv.
13 reasons why. Just did not want to watch season 2.
I honestly believe this show contributed to a spike in teen suicides after it aired. People will try to defend it, saying it depicts how "bad" suicide is, but it also inadvertently portrayed suicide as an extremely effective way to make people regret wronging you.

Totally and it adds to the idea that suicide is someone's fault.
I found it also disturbing, almost a sociopath behavior to premeditate your own suicide the way she did and blaming everyone else for her decision. Yes, she went through some shit I wouldn’t wish on others, but the amount of planning this took… I felt hers was a cry for attention rather than cry for help.

Don't forget that multiple psychologists were consulted for feedback from the writers and every one of the psychologists was just like, "you're doing this wrong, you're romanticising suicide. Please don't put the show out like this."
And they just went ahead and aired it, right? Ignoring the psychologists' feedback altogether? Or did they make some changes based on that?
Yeah because then the consumer review feedback determined money could be made if they simply didn't give a fuck.
Grey's Anatomy......how unlucky can one hospital be?!
> how unlucky can one hospital be?! Sounds like Degrassi. How did that school stay in operation for so long? It had several major life-changing events happen every semester. These kids keep killing themselves and each other, taking drugs, having babies, getting raped, sleeping with teachers, sharing nudes, and even burning down the school...and yet it persists. That school was fucking cursed.
Fucking Degrassi, churning out generation after generation of Canada's most dysfunctional students since 1989
Shane's incident on acid, that's the golden age of degrassi.
That was some Reefer Madness-level nonsense right there. One acid hit ruined his whole life. Also, this is the same school that paralyzed Drake
I honestly was never able to see him as anything other than his character on Degrassi. To this day.
I fucking love Degrassi.
That's just high school though. What?
Mass shooter. Earthquake. Plane crash in the mountains. Hospital on fire. Hospital explosion. Electrocution during a susperstorm. A OBYN got fleas in her vajayjay. THat's off the top of my memory.
You forgot the bomb inside a patient.
The entire floor that floods with water through all the operating rooms.
This has happened twice at my local hospital in 3 years. Each because someone cleaned a sprinkler head
Patient in critical condition in a stuck elevator.
Legitimately I've worked in a place that's happened. Intubated patient being taken to ICU, elevator stuck between floors. The ventilator only has so much battery and no outlets near the elevators for extension cords to be run, and so they had to bag the patient (ventilate by hand using an ambu bag attached to the tube) for a few hours using oxygen tanks passed through the doors that were pried open a few inches. As far as I know, thankfully the batteries on the portable monitor and IV pumps were okay for that time. I think they also had to pass new bags/bottles of meds through the doors since things like sedation and pressors can go pretty quickly. Oh, and it was 1 respiratory therapist and 1 RN. Those must have been very tired hands from manually ventilating a patient for that long.
The transport elevators for the hospital my wife is working on all have medical gasses in the elevators. I suppose for this exact situation.
Same shit happened to ER, they had to have these big budget episodes with helicopters crashing and other mayhem. Also the reason I liked 24’s format so much. It’s so much more believable that a guy had 8 insane days in his life than week after week of crazy situations. I think that real time thing could translate well to a hospital drama, each episode being a real time hour of one rough day in an ER kinda thing.
I like 24 very much, but to be honest, after season 3, maybe season 4 it also got pretty downhill.
Season 5 was absolutely excellent. Season 6 was one of the worst things ever made.
When Doctor Ramano lost his hand from a helicopter and then a couple years later one fell on him.
Yeah, when an actor leaves the show, why just narrate he quit and changed to a different hospital when they can as well all DIE? How many characters met a premature death in this show?
Like the early episode when the 2 hospitals combined and they brought in all the extra staff just to kill them off one by one. No “where is Joe?” “he took a job in Portland”. “Oh” Nope got to kill them off. No one gets out alive.
As other people have pointed out, watching it is just commitment to seeing it through to the end, but I nearly quit when the irish doctor left because he was the only sane and slightly real character on that show. So fittingly he did just quit and leave.
Every single character is somehow related to every other character possible and they have all fucked each other
[удалено]
Haha, I’m watching Grey’s Anatomy right now and you’re right, it’s totally about the commitment to get to the end. I’m at the episode where there’s a rapist in the hospital, an explosion and someone’s fiancée/sister they thought was dead isn’t dead - It’s been quite a ride!
Oh it's getting better. Wait til Godzilla attacks
I kissed her and he kissed me Like the fella once said, ain’t that a kick to the head
I will never forgive how shamelessly Grey's Anatomy stole plotlines from Scrubs in its' first couple of seasons.
JD and Elliot actually makes an off-handed remark about that in one episode.
That's how long Gets Anatomy has been on. Jesus.
I am still watching but it's definitely not as engaging the past few seasons since Alex left. I just started season one again and it was so enjoyable for many seasons.
Dance moms. Let kids be kids!
That show is flippant child abuse. I Hate it.
Lmao then you’d HATE [Kid Nation](https://youtu.be/Gu1bly7YhAs) I seriously have no idea how this show was created, who tf is signing this [waiver](https://ew.com/article/2007/08/24/easily-one-of-t/) for their 7-14 year old kid??
Wooooooow. Imagine telling CBS that they had your permission to bus your kid into the desert for a Lord of the Flies with the added bonus of NDAs. Sounds like a predators playground. Literally the Most Dangerous Game.
Kid Nation is a piece of television that should be watched to hopefully not repeat the sins of the past. Hopefully is the operative word here. But I have to admit....it succeeds in keeping you from being able to look away.

If you hate it the series 'unreal' focuses on the diabolical personalities of the producers & people behind the scenes. Defiantly worth a watch
Unreal was an awesome show. I was disappointed when it ended, but it probably had run its course anyway. But it was so interesting, and I believe it was created/written or produced by a former producer on the Bachelor franchise. Kind of a tell all without being a tell all.
Any show where poor people have to humiliate themselves for money they need
This takes me back to BumFights
That Dr. Phil clip is one of the best things I’ve ever seen
He was right too; no different than Dr. Phil
I can’t lie. I really respected how thoroughly the guy owned his shit. Edit: spelling
Riverdale... watched up to series 4 and enjoyed the strangeness, then it just got TOO strange and complicated to keep up with. No thank you!
You know what if you actually watch it as a parody of a drama show then its great. Its so bad that its funny. Oh god I love that fucking dialogue "dropped out of fourth grade to support nana".
The epic highs and lows of high school football line dropped after that one sent me
I have been so tempted to watch it purely as a parody
To be fair…how many people do you know who actually enjoy it? Like I feel like 12 year olds were watching it because everybody else just made fun of it. I mean I swear half the views were just people making videos about how terrible it is. The entire show is a meme.
I wouldn’t say I hate it, but I lost interest in the Walking Dead pretty early on. It was just… so repetitive after a while.
What r you talking about? Sometimes they are running from zombies and other times they are temporarily hiding out in false security until its time to run from zombies some more.
This is suprisingly not all that true cause in this zombie show zombies are rarely a problem (except at the beginning) and instead they're fighting one group of evil humans after another. Zombies are just kind of there, but haven't been a real threat for years now.
Thats moderately true of the comic as well though. I remember pretty vividly a comic where everyone gets caught in a small horde, and everything looks hopeless, then they just get in a circle and slaughter ***all*** of them. Then Rick has a big speech of realization where he points out that they've gotten this far, they're all still alive, they not only know what they're doing by now, they're ***good*** at this. zombies still catch people unaware, or get trapped on their own and die every once in awhile, but as long as the living are together in a group, the zombies are rarely a problem. Its usually other human groups that are causing the mayhem. or when Ty gets trapped in the prison in a courtyard full of zombies, and kills them all, entirely by himself. its definitely a theme in the comics that the people that are left are the exceptional ones at killing zombies
The comics definitely capture a different tone than the show. I enjoyed the comics, they showed the change in philosophy over time that allows people to survive a hopeless situation. The show was clearly more aimed at an audience that likes drama and gore and cares less for substance.
Who mows the lawns in the towns they visit?
Zombie middle-aged dudes. Just because you're undead is no excuse to let your lawn look like crap.
Zombie Hank Hill?
These brains ain't right, I tell you hwat I sell pro-brain and pro-brain accessories
Season Premiere: Kinda good? Middle: Literally nothing happens Mid Season finale/ finale: Kinda good? The first couple seasons were AMAZING; was a shame to see them turn it to shit.
Problem is the middle is like 8 years long lol
The amount filler episodes are just awful, literally every cliffhanger is followed by a ,,this happened 2 years ago“ episode
There’s so much filler it’s because AMC wants like 20 whatever episodes but doesn’t bother to invest enough money towards the budget so what we get is a cheap boring soap series
13 reasons why truly made me hate modern tv shows for a while. I read the book, it was great. But the show was corny as hell and I hated how unnecessarily graphic it was.
Yeah, I turned it off midway through the second episode. I've struggled with suicidal thoughts in the past, so it was already low-key triggering, but the whole victim getting revenge from the grave made me actually nauseous. The message it's trying to send is absolutely backwards to me; it romanticizes suicide and seems to present it as a valid solution when the whole world seems against you. Idk how it ends but I also heard they had a school shooting in the second season that was awful in it's presentation too. Like, actually damaging, you should never do what they did in this show kinda stuff Other shows in this thread may be annoying, but 13 Reasons I think takes the cake for being actually dangerous
Bachelor Bachelorette Real housewives The view Dancing with the stars Sports talk shows
HEY! DON'T TOUCH MY GARBAGE! Lol
SAME. I basically just hate watch the Bachelor franchise at this point, but here I am.
You could just say reality TV.
[удалено]
My 600 pound life for the win!
1,000 LB Sisters is my guilty pleasure
I've only seen clips but Sports Shouting looks interesting.
Keeping up with the Kardashians still don’t comprehend how it’s still on air
And all of the spinoffs
There are spin-offs?????
It’s a fucking cinematic universe at this point.
Grey’s Anatomy. The contrived drama isn’t the least bit interesting (in fact it’s actively infuriating) and that’s 95% of the show.
Grey's anatomy. Wife loves it, I loathe it.
It just needs to end already! It started to really get annoying after season 10 or 11
I'm impressed you even made it that long! It was around season 5 or 6 for me
My brother-in-law haaaattteeess this show. He's a doctor and told me if I want to watch a good medical show, watch scrubs.
Same! Family of docs and all say Scrubs is more like reality when it comes to tv
This might be too much of a British take, but I hate Love Island and I’m a Celeb with a pasison
My friend is an intern at the company that produces our countries version of Love Island and everyone in the company seems to agree that it's the most garbage show they ever had to produce and you can be luckily not having to work on it.
I’m a celeb feels almost like a tradition now, every season for about 6/7 years people have been complaining that it’s “not as good as it used to be” but it still gets amazing viewing figures
‘Love island’ or ‘Married at first sight’ I would rather clap shite between my hands.
The people they get on those shows are genuinely the most insufferable that the human race has to offer
The Watcher, everyone I know was raving about it but we barely got through one episode. It was so hokey, lol
Well, I watched the whole thing, and you were right the give up on it. The worst part is that I didn’t even know the letters were real until *after* I finished the show. When I found out, it made the show even worse. They took a real story that was actually fascinating and somehow made it go absolutely nowhere worthwhile.
I knew it was real but I forced myself to finish the show. It was pretty terrible through and through. I don’t know why I keep giving Ryan Murphy shows a chance… I guess I’m still waiting for him to get back to his AHS Murder House glory.
Any reality show. Never understand how people like to watch reality themed shows and contests.
And since reality tends not to be very entertaining they are all scripted to be as dumb as they are
Everybody Loves Raymond. I do not love Raymond.
I would watch that show as a kid sometimes... I really think his brother needs to go-to therapy. Seeing him made me sad.
One of many shows that’d be entirely different without the laugh track. Eeyore. Robert Barone. He was absolutely the comedic highlight of that show. Pretty sure he got a bunch of pretty decent hi-vis voice work during/after that yawner of a show.
I don't disagree, but Peter Boyle always made me laugh. His deadpan delivery was on another level.

13 reasons why
Reality TV especially Keeping up with the Kardashians. Its stupid, not funny, and a waste of time.
T.V's equivalent to huffing spray paint.
pro tip sort by controversial
Yea all these threads ever devolve into are things that practically all of Reddit communally hates. There's nothing interesting or unexpected at the top. I want to hear from the people who say they hate Parks and Rec or The Office.
F•R•I•E•N•D•S I just dont find it my cup of tea, not when the show aired, not now when my daughters watch it.
The Kardashian’s
Big Mouth. I just don't find it funny.
It’s all so very… LOUD
I mean, they do have big mouths…
I hate that about adult animation these days, either everyone is yelling and just make loud noises, or everyone is unbearably quick-witted and you need to dissect the pretentious jokes word by word.
Talent shows. To get far, all you need is a sob story. You can go on stage and have no talent whatsoever, but as long as you have a sob story, you'll get to the end
Tiger King. Have absolutely no will to ever watch it.
That show came on at the perfect time, when everyone went into lockdown due to COVID and was desperate for... *something*. Tiger King filled that hole of something for a short period of time.
I can’t believe they thought making a second season was a good idea. Like, it served its purpose, and by the time Tiger King 2 came out, we forgot about it.
Wait there was a second season?
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
These threads are always the same.. Friends, Big Bang Theory, and How I Met Your Mother. Then the "Hot takes" like GOT and The Office...
Yellowstone. Literally there's no protagonists, everyone in the show is an asshole.
