I’d describe Glee a bit more favorably than you have here, but I do think it’s bad at least as often as it’s good. It is possibly for this reason that I consider it more “exciting” than shows that are more consistently good. Whenever someone I know has mentioned to me that they’ve never seen Glee but were thinking of tuning in I tell them that if one wants to watch Glee then one must simply accept that it’s wildly uneven.
As for shows that I think really have no redeeming features, I used to put on King of Queens reruns when I got home from work. I’d never seen the show when it was originally on the air, but it was my preferred background noise for that particular time slot. (I don’t have cable so I didn’t have a lot of choices.) I could have put on Malcolm in the Middle reruns instead, a show I never particularly cared for but consider better The King of Queens, but there’s a lot of yelling and annoying children’s voices on Malcolm in the Middle that made it unsuitable as background noise.
Marcus Welby MD-Robert Young is a grandfatherly doctor who never fucks up-even when somebody dies its nice. Plus, he wears leisure suits! Just what his relationship with his sidekick doc is never explained.

“The Lawrence Whelk Show”-Lawrence Whelk is actually a zombie-who steals the brains of his band and actors-nice to see everybody decked out in powder blue polyester!
Well, I guess this the right place to confess that I DVR (and watch) both Pretty Little Liars and All my Children.
In my defense, my mother and both grandmothers watched AMC from day one and the show is about two months older than me, so I’ve been watching longer than I’ve been alive. Now that all three of them are dead, I feel it would be disloyal or a betrayal of their memory to stop now.
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, is little more than mindless, feel goody, public relations for Sears and their other sponsors. I also know that the first time Ty Pennington came up behind me with that megaphone, he’d have to have a surgeon remove it from whatever acutely uncomfortable orifice I inserted the device.
One thing that really pisses me off about the show is that the way it’s set up, one family wins the lottery with a fantastic new house. They could take the same budget and help thirty families but that wouldn’t be a marketable television show.
With that being said, I do keep watching the show. The homes they build tend to have a wonderful blend of creativity, style and over-the-top poor taste. The stories of the people involved can be quite touching at times.
Hey! You’re supposed to post in English on this board!

My vote is for any of the dinner party wars shows currently on. Basically lets get strangers together to trash each others cooking and decor, and see who serves up the least amount of bad food/bad entertainment.
Its really fun when the participants decide to get drunk and sloppy with each other and really call each other out on quirks and dietary habits.
I hate reality tv shows, but this is just like being a fly on the wall at a series of very bitchy parties.
Swamp Loggers, but only one time, when I was lying on the couch, sick, and couldn’t find the remote. What a boring show. A bunch of rednecky guys…cutting down trees. What irked me was they were trying to make it exciting, like Deadliest Catch …(“Joe Bob knows if they don’t drag that tree out of the mud by 5 p.m. today,…they won’t get paid!”)
