What current TV shows do you despise the least, or find the most tolerable?
I’ll start with the obvious choice: The Sopranos!
i love the sopanos. i eagerly await the return of deadwood and rome. i am also enjoying big love
Battlestar Galactica is just about the only newer show on TV I can watch any more without throwing up in my mouth. There have been a couple times when even BG pissed me off badly, but it consistently redeems itself.
South Park I still like OK, but I see a dorsal fin on the horizon.
Chapelle’s Show would have been #1 on my least-hated-most-loved list. 
The rest of it is liquid feces. Y’know those stories about Elvis, how when he’d see Robert Goulet on TV he’d pull out a large-caliber handgun and blow the tube to smithereens? I’m this close when I see A.I., or anything to do with it. I fucking swear, I will only stop feeling the most abject loathing for that show if Simon and Paula fight to the death, and both lose.
Since I’m a big ol’ curmudgeon in the other thread, I should, in the interest of fairness, list a few shows that I think don’t suck outright:
**Good Eats
Mythbusters
My Name Is Earl
The Office
Survivorman
The Simpsons
House
**
The Daily Show and The Colbert Report remain national assets.
Okay, shows i *like…
Battlestar Galactica
Doctor Who
South Park
Family Guy
the Simpsons i can take or leave, it’s really been showing it’s age lately…
An Arky, you love Earl and the Office, but hate Scrubs?
What was your take on Arrested Development (RIP!)?
Arrested Development
My Name Is Earl
The Office
Family Guy
Most of the Law & Orders
Most HGTV/design shows since they are innocuous
Battlestar Galactica (which I hope redeems itself in season 3 – 2 ended pretty poorly)
Robot Chicken
Family Guy
The Venture Brothers
South Park
Scrubs
Oh, yes, yes, yes. Major omission on my part.
I think with those two, however, my list is complete. The rest I’d like to nuke from orbit.
My current favorite show is Mythbusters. Any show that takes 800+ pounds of explosives and detonates a cement truck deserves every Emmy for the next five years.
I also like Family Guy, but I’m not as obsessive about watching the new ones like I am with MB. The same with The Simpsons. I’m also getting into Robot Chicken on Cartoon Network. Mocking television with Barbie dolls? Count me in!
Of course, no show can ever be as great as MST3K. That was the pinnacle of television right there.
I don’t hate Scrubs, it’s just one of those shows that always seems to be on. I don’t like medical-themed shows for one thing (My late father was a Dr.). Secondly, a couple of the characters get on my nerves, mostly Dr. Cox. A big pet peeve for me is the whole dating coworkers/trying to date coworkers thing.
I never watched Arrested Development, so I have no opinion there, other than I avoid watching FOX as much as possible.
Oh, yeah, I realize I just said I don’t like medical shows, yet I said I liked House OK…exceptions to every rule and all that…
