I’ll believe it takes skill to drive around in circles going really fast when one of the drivers is an old fart in a 78 Dodge doing 45 mph with his left turn signal on and his foot on the brake every five seconds, and everyone has to get out of his way. Two laps, tops.
Where do I start???

I think I’d rather take the bullet if I was given the choice.
Law & Order
Montel
Springer
Pretty much any show where people make an ass of themselves by pretending to be surprised that their son/daughter is a foul mouth prostitute dressed in bad clothing and the best thing for them is a boot camp and a fashion makeover.
Hey! Watch where you say that on these boards.
Uh, if I actually had a gun pointed at me I’d probably do just about anything. But that answer’s no fun, so let’s go with:
… um …
I got nothin’. Seriously, with some notable exceptions (like House, the Simpsons, Family Guy, some of the stuff on the science channels, when they actually do new stuff, and reruns of shows like Star Trek and classic cartoons like Invader Zim and Animaniacs) everything on TV is crap now. EVERYTHING.
My son has recently discovered it, too. Boy, it really was baaaad.
As I’ve said before, it would be a lot more interesting if half the drivers went the opposite direction. That, I’d watch. (My husband likes NASCAR)
As for the OP: Fear Factor (I like the stunts, I can’t stand the bugs and gross eating parts)
Any of the Jerry Springer/Maury Povich type shows
Anything with Paris Hilton
Anything on MTV
Any kind of Find-true-love-from-these-12-people-we’ve-picked-for-you show (The Bachelor, Who Wants To Marry My Dad, etc.)
Most reality shows (with the exception of Survivor and The Amazing Race. I like those two.)
I am so TVs bitch…there’s nothing I won’t watch. I’ll even watch infomercials or televangelists. I don’t like everything I see, but am unable to remove myself from the soothing warming warming glow. I used to be smart, but my brain has turned to swiss cheese making it easier to watch the insipid adventures of abrasive people on unscripted shows in exotic locales performing far-fetched rituals and stunts vieing for a large sum of money to be paid out as a 30-year annuity. Fortunately my addled mind has not been damaged enough to care about them.
Gaaah! It must be an epidemic–my 10 year old daughter has discovered it also. She has a near-obsession with the show.
There’s shows on MTV that I don’t think I’d be able to watch even with a gun pointed to my head. I’ve only seen the commercials for this new crop of summer shows-Stankervision, I think is the names of one of the shows. Of course, I think I’ve outgrown MTV’s target demographic by about 15 years so maybe that’s why.
Also, those godawful countdown shows on E channel that are blatant and poorly constructed ripoffs of the slightly more entertaining shows on VH1, like I love the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
