    No-one is making you watch programmes you don't like, are they? We got rid of our TV over a year ago & I just sit politely through discussions about "Strictly" and "Downton". If there's something I really MUST watch I can see it on t'internet, but that's happened once in 16 months.

    I haven't had a TV set at my house for 4 years and I'm really happy about it. Toss it away and you won't feel it missing.

    All those TV shows about "normal" people who are really just dumb as fudge. Examples: Honey Boo Boo, Jersey Shore, etc.

    I'd also LOVE to see Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil gone. Both of them are just quacks.

    I know I'm just repeating what a lot of others are saying but I'd say almost all the reality TV shows can go. There are a few I watch, but for the most part I find them a pretty sad reflection of society.

    I'd also like to know why the Discovery Channel and History Channel don't have any real content anymore. It's all just more reality TV. They need to change their network names.

    XFactor/Britain's Got Talent/Strictly Come Dancing

    For you guys who really dislike Honey Boo Boo - check out an UK show about the Chawner Family - Programme titles Lorraine Kelly's Big Fat Challenge, Lorraine Kelly's next big fat challenge and Last Chance Chawners. There are clips on YouTube

    The Chawners (bless their chunky little hearts) were what inspired me to get on the weight loss journey back in January and I credit them entirely with my weight loss to date. Every time i slip, i put on their shows.

    Any reality show involving people at work. My own work day is draining enough, I don't need to feel the stress of someone else's.

    I like Mythbusters, anything on National Geographic and the History Channel...and I just now started watching the Walking Dead. I also hate these reality-based television shows. Everything has gotten so damn stupid. I could do without cable. I can find what I want (documentaries ect) on you tube. All I need from comcast is cable internet.

    Not my tv, not my choice watching...not my house.

    There is an easy fix for this. Turn the TV off. I didn't even live in a house with one for most of my life. I say focus on what matters. The junk in the media does not matter at all in my opinion.

    I don't watch anything with the Kardashians, that Honey Boo Boo kid, the Jersey Shore brats, any so-called reality TV shows, etc., yet I still know who these morons are because they are on magazines, talk shows, news shows, tabloids, headlines, even the Yahoo entry page, and other venues I can't turn off.

    I wish it was as simple as turning the TV off and then not being exposed to any of it. If people didn't watch it, talk about it, and give it so much attention, it would go off the air, so I suppose the sad truth is, a lot of people really like that junk.

    This. I quit paying for tv 2 years ago. Its the same stuff on tv now as any time ever, just with new actors. If I reallly want to watch something, I buy a season at barnes and nobel. $35 every once in a while saves a *kitten* ton over $100+ a month.
