Great topic...I never watch:
Shameless
Any of the Medical dramas
Waterloo Road
Ashes to Ashes
Any of the American cop shows (except L & Order special Victims unit
My family (utterly rubbish comedy)
Match of the Day
Lost
Heros

Too many to mention, I do however love Fact based crime series, biog & discovery channel.

I don't think anyone 'should' like programmes just because they're popular with others.

I immediately switch over if Mitchell & Webb, Justin Lee Collins or Alan Carr appear on screen.

I used to like DoND when I had a job with the medical records NHS and there was a fan there and the prog was new - now I feel I have to look interested in it as hubby comes home when it's on and he's discovered how famous (

) the prog is in Turkey and his family loved it!

But they drag it out for 2 hours, late at night as in 9-11pm! They do the same with 'come dine with me'.

What programmes 'should' we like?????
Can't be bothered with soaps, like some 'highbrow' stuff but far from all and unashamedly like reality tv, cookery programmes etc. Suppose we 'should' like the more intelligent stuff? But sometimes I just need to get away from all the serious things in life/work and be a philistine!

Because of the public/media dictated above, I do choose my favs as in sit coms.

Other progs I hate:

Lost - saw first three episodes and decided life was too short.
The IT crowd - saw one episode, load of unfunny tosh.
EastEnders - gave up on it about three years ago, it was that or cut my wrists.
Outnumbered - what's funny about three badly brought up brats?
Britain's Got Talent - but it's not on this show.
All the American CSI thingummies - eh?
Quiz shows. All of 'em.

She always used purple paint for tree trunks and branches - she reckoned brown looked 'wrong'
