Not sure if there's a thread like this already, but here it goes. Name some shows that are popular, but you don't like or doesn't peak your interest.

Teen Mom. So wrong on many levels.
KUWTK. The person or persons that came up with this idea should be shot, maimed and killed.
The Vampire Diaries.
Arrow.
Breaking Bad. Never once have I wanted to see this show.
Mad Men. Same reason as BB.
The Real Housewives of such and such. No. Just no.
OITNB.

I have more, but these will do for now.

    Breaking Bad.

    I made it through the first 4 seasons, before I said forget it...wasn't worth it to me.


    Also, The Walking Dead

    How I Met Your Mother - total crap, puerile jokes barely of the standard of a high school play.
    Arrested Development - ok, but definitely overrated
    Arrow - just, no.
    Agents of SHIELD - so much potential, so little made of it.
    Mad Men - misogynistic rubbish (yes, I know they were going for the misogyny, doesn't make it enjoyable). Managed to get through a few episodes and ourselves wondering if anything was ever going to happen.

    No, not at all.

    Dammit, you're fast. Went back and edited it. The point is, I never understood the hype about the show. Couldn't get into it after five minutes.

    Vampire Diaries is really good if you watch it as a comedy!

    I mean seriously the same terrible actress was playing 4 doppleganger copies of herself at one point. It was hilarious.

    Any of the singing/dancing/talent shows, The real housewives, bachelors or bachelorettes. When did TLC go from THE LEARNING CHANNEL to trivial crap channel, Honey Boo Boo gag me.

    That lost me when they started doing it on who was who.

    And my point is that you can't judge a series based on 5 minutes of the first episode lol


    ....unless it's How I Met Your Mother.

    I don't know. With both of them, I couldn't find it worth my time. Maybe, I'm just weird.

    Agreed.

    I think Dexter was pretty overrated. I made it to the beginning of the 4th season before I gave up.

    ^ That's because Breaking Bad isn't mind-blowing within the first five minutes. Sure, it can be slow at times, but there's a beauty in that; this speed shows the gradual development of the protagonist, a seemingly good-natured guy, down a path of darkness in a horrifyingly intriguing manner. Just saying. You should give it another go. :)


    I haven't seen the Walking Dead, but the idea of it doesn't really appeal to me. Just because it doesn't appeal to me do I think it's overrated, though.

    ^This. Breaking Bad is about the transformation of Mr. Rogers to Scarface.

    Not interested enough to try it, again. A lot of people would ask me over and over if I've seen it or what episode I was on, then acted like I wasn't normal for not watching it. To each their own. Not losing any sleep over a show I don't care to watch.

    never found big bang theory funny, and only moments in HIMYM are funny... not really overall

    i get why breaking bad is popular and i think it should be but it's way over hyped, and this is from someone who religiously watched every season and saw the finale the day it aired.

    havent seen the walking dead but i hear about it too much.

    supernatural... or maybe i'm just not far enough in? i've seen a few episodes and really didn't understand the appeal. the gifs on tumblr make it look so good, too.
