Sons of Anarchy
The Walking Dead

Don't understand the love these shows continually get, but I can't seem to drop them...

WWE Monday Night Raw. Even as a wrestling fan, sometimes things happen that are so mind-numbingly stupid that I question myself.

Interesting. The wife and I started S1... should we just stop now??

The show I can't quit is Hardcore Pawn. Because it's a "local" show and we could drop in there any time (but wouldn't ) it's fun to watch but utterly stupid.

There were some good moments in the show for sure, but IMO it's been on a stead decline for about 3 seasons now. If you like to have something on in background while you work or do something else, maybe keep watching.

I feel like I'm pot-committed at this point so I stay with it.

Revolution

The guy behind it created Supernatural too so he has a far amount of goodwill with me.

2 Broke Girls definitely. It's so bad and I almost have to force myself to watch.

My first instinct was Cougar Town, but at least that kind of knows it's bad and is fun to watch.

We just finished SOA on Netflix up to season 5. It starts better than it ends but is still pretty good. What I liked at the start was the brotherhood of the club. At this point I still like the show.

Re: What's the Worst TV Show you Regularly Watch ?

Count me in on the 2 Broke Girls train. I liked the edginess and raunchiness of it at first, but it's worn out it's shock factor. And while I do like Kat Dennings, I'm one of those guys who's not into big boobs, so I'm certainly not tuning in for those.

One show I do watch just because of eye candy and nothing more is Dads. Damn that Brenda Song is a cutie. Hopefully, the show is done (rumor is that it indeed is), Brenda gets another gig where she still wears sexy outfits, and I can ogle without losing IQ points merely for watching.

Re: What's the Worst TV Show you Regularly Watch ?

SOA is certainly one of those shows that stopped being good a couple seasons back, I actually haven't seen the last 4 or so episodes of this past season. The extended montages being only one of the problems of keeping me interested...

The Walking Dead has always been pretty bad but zombies killing things makes this stupid apocalyptic soap opera tolerable.

Re: What's the Worst TV Show you Regularly Watch ?

Yeah New Girl is awful now. I still watch it, but it's relegated to Hulu Plus instead of taking up DVR space.

Californication is pretty bad too. Last 2 seasons have been pretty bad, but this upcoming season is the last one. Might as well finish it.

Season 2 is better than season 1. I would stick it out through that. But season 3 is maybe the worst season.

Walking Dead. It's such shit show and an absolute bore. But I watch it with other people, half of whom don't care for it either.

Re: What's the Worst TV Show you Regularly Watch ?

Sadly, it's Archer.

I was on board 100% with the big story shift after the season premiere, but it just hasn't lived up to expectations. The fact they completely ruined the Pam character is probably the biggest single problem, but seeing the results, the whole idea was just stupid.

While I don't necessarily consider it terrible, something has to be labeled the worst. I guess that would be Gold Rush.

I started out watching that but the sheer stupidity of the Hoffman's crew was more than enough to walk away. I couldn't watch for more than 5 minutes without wanting to yell at the screen.They made terrible decision after terrible decision and then just about the time they looked like they were getting their act together they decided to scrap it all and go gold mining in the Amazon! WTF!

It was so ridiculous it was funny.

Re: What's the Worst TV Show you Regularly Watch ?

There's a couple really bad shows I watch because their "badness" is what makes them fun.

Moonshiners. Is it fake? Tim is the main character and he's gone legit, making his moonshine for a legit distributor. He needed help and so he hired a delivery guy with a felony record. This guy learns how to make shine from Tim and then goes into business himself making it illegally. Tim had his friend Tickle go with this guy to find out if he was making shine on the sly, so they take him to the woods and hint like they may kill him. AND ALL THIS IS CAUGHT ON TAPE BY A FREAKING FILM CREW!! Not a hidden crew, but one walking around with them. I could buy the supposed ways they got around filming the illegal shenanigans of the shine business, but no way is a guy on parole going to let them film him violating that parole. But it is a compelling show, in its way.

Small Town Security. I LOVE this show. It is a reality show about a small security agency in bumfuck Georgia and the eccentric people that run it. Main character is Joan, the boss and former party girl, now has physical problems and can barely walk. She hosts a local public access show. She has a crush on a co-worker with no interest in her. Her Husband is a hoarder and "poop stick" aficionado. Her other employee is a transsexual with a crush on her. Every character is quirky and the whole show is like a cross between Errol Morris and David Lynch.
