Yep. And naming it “The Mindy Project” was a excessive in egotism.  
**Finagle** : Yep, once i saw what the plotline was…  
“Designated Survivor”: Read that there were no Congresscritters or SCOTUS judges left out and went :dubious:😕 then read it was all about a “secret government conspiracy” then went: **Nope.**

Saw a new show with Katherine Heigl and knew is was gonna be a loser, didnt even bother to try. I knew even Elliott Gould couldnt save it.

I watched _The Blacklist_ purely for James Spader. The spinoff _The Blacklist: Redemption_ was thus a “Nope” before any episodes aired.

I hated Undercover Boss from the minute I saw the first ad. The Mighty Titan of Industry comes down from his Glass City to walk among the Plebs and learns compassion because he happens to talk to them for a few days? F you.

When it first started there were a number of episodes where the Boss found out his employees were doing nasty stuff to the food served or stealing or what-not. Those were actually good. Now they have turned it into “Queen for a Day” and it’s stupid.

Any that calls itself an “event” in the pre-release commercials. You know its gotta be bad if that’s what they call it.
