Ok have you ever had a show that you hate solely based oh the previews ?

Theres maybe 4 shows I watch on tlc through out the year …While watching little people big world this season theres been a chick that looks and sounds like shes a noo yawk 12 year old on helium for a show called "hair goddess "

Apparently its going to follow the duck dynasty formula of this chick her beauty chain and “wacky but close” relatives helping to run it …

but I hate the damn show just on her presence and the previews alone …

anyone have other examples?

I’d say 99% of shows/movies seem absolutely worthless from previews.

3

Still Star-Crossed.

The first one that comes to mind is The Mindy Project. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me, and I really tired of the commercials quickly.

5

Survivor.

When I first saw the commercials oh so many decades ago, I was appalled that people would risk serious personal harm just to be on T. V. Of course, a couple of years later I watched it and became a complete addict.

6

Even though it gets some good recommendations I’ve never wanted to check out “Crazy Ex Girlfriend” just because the name really turns me off.

7

That’s exactly how I felt about the (former) show “Selfie”.

8

The Mick

And I was right. Deleted that timer from the DVR after the third episode.

9

I actually blocked Lifetime, TLC and MTV/VH1 because of this reason, I don’t even accidentally have to see the channel in my guides, just makes me angry.

10

It’s really really good. The name is a deconstruction of the trope.

11

Yes, but…Amy Pond! I’d watch Reading the Croatian Phonebook Aloud if Amy Pond was reading it.

12

Yeah, those commercials were obnoxious. And “Sweet Dee Gets Her Own Show” wasn’t exactly a compelling premise. I like her on Always Sunny but, like Zoidberg on Futurama, better as support than as the main plot. I knew right away that this was going to be bad.

13

I had that issue with the TV show “Quantico” which made it look like sexed up soap opera hijinks amongst the improbably good looking FBI recruits at Quantico. Apparently, all those good looking 20-somethings all had had time to acquire deep dark secrets yet all managed to pass whatever security screenings FBI agents get, which I assume is at least “Secret” level.

14

Amy didn’t deserve Rory.

15

Pretty much every “reality” show.

16

The situation’s a lot more nuanced than that.

17

I was pretty sure I was going to hate the Matthew Perry reboot of “The Odd Couple” just from the promos. And I was right!

18

“Bill Nye Saves the World”. It looked like it was all glitz, no meat. I stood about twenty minutes of the premier episode before stopping it and expunging it from my queue.

Apparently, I am not alone.

19

This show hasn’t even premiered yet but I can’t imagine the TV version of “Candy Crush” as being anything but ill-conceived. Just because something works as a video game doesn’t mean it will work as a game show.

Ditto. Also The Practice, an early tagline for which was “They hate lawyers, too,” which, as a non-self-hating lawyer who respects the profession, irritated me no end.
