For me,

Celebrity Juice - How anyone can watch more than 5 minutes of that without wanting to put their frst through the screen and pucnh that anyone twit Leigh Francis, is beyond me.

Mrs Brown's Boy - Just utter drivel

Friends - I have tried to watch it but it's just not funny at all.

What are yours?

For me, none of those are as bad as:

Love island
Big brother
East Enders
Jeremy Kyle

Can't say that I have ever seen an episode of Love Island or Jeremy Kyle.

I did watch Big Brother donkeys years ago when it first came out though but got bored very easily and it must be about 20 years now since I've seen an episode of Eastenders.

Only 3? I wouldn't disagree with any of those nominations (even though I've never seen Love Island* - but I can tell what it's like from the other media 'news' about it).

* ditto The Only Way is Essex and Made in Chelsea. In fact I'd probably go so far to say that such freak shows should be banned just as surely as we wouldn't tolerate those Victorian-era freak shows these days. I think we could safely cull the viewers too. Am I being a tad harsh?

Anything remotely fronted by Simon Cowell.

Most prime time viewing on a Saturday night barring casualty and match of the day.

Not like it was when i was a kid

TOWIE without a doubt, absolutely turns my stomach.  

Emmerdale is fast becoming another ridiculous soap , long gone are the days of a bit of gentle sheep rustling and spilt mild in the Woolpack ...half of the village have killed someone or are blackmailing / defrauding the other half.

Don't watch a lot of mainstream TV nowadays....just a preferred selection of old man programmes on History, Yesterday & Discovery channels by and large.

Yesterday is ace. Endless loop of Porridge, Aug Wiedersehen Pet and history docs.

All the above - except Friends in its day.

The One Show is also one show to miss these days.

Think I've seen the entireity of Auf Wiedersehn Pet five times over in the last couple of years such is the consistency of them repeating it and such is the quality and watchability of it.

Aye. i'd agree with that. Probably seen it 4 times (excluding the original round on TV and my mate's boxed set - when box sets still came in boxes). Having said that I did turn off the episode the other night where they first fly to Spain with the old biddies because you can have enough of even that.

Friends

Frazier

8 out of 10 cats

Big brother use to be good when it first came out but after 8 or 9 series  it became staid.I think its one of the reasons why Channel 4 ditched it after initial very good viewing figures. I still watch Celebrity big brother though which continues to be quite entertaining.

X factor initially  was good but after a while it became a overkill.Reason why they keep running it now I read is the advertising keeps bringing in the revenue(makes a mockery of what the initial shows use to be about eg finding genuine musical talent) and the audience figures are still  good.

Yeah it's ace (Milano?! I suppose that's Italian for Milan is it?!), just a shame the editing of the Yesterday episodes takes chunks out of them.
