    How can people watch these brain deadening, thought supressing, society lowering, amateur-level produced, anti-social, audio-visual diahorretic programmes? How are they appealing to anyone bar the stereotypes of the characters and guests themselves? Comparing television to restaurants, they are the McDonalds of TV. Actually, Jeremy Kyle is McDonalds, due to its international flavour, Fair City is on par with Supermacs, and Love / Hate is like the chipper van on the corner outside a disco. Lowest quality crap you can get.

    I find that not watching TV keeps my blood pressure low.

    Jeremy Kyle is thrash gold.

    except when you follow a documentary and then have to wait a week to watch the conclusion.

    Jeremy Kyle gets his guests from the dole queue. I watch it because I hate people that are on the dole and so I sit at home and shout at the tv.

    If you were just talking about Jeremy Kyle Id agree with you. However love/hate is a brilliant show and fair city is a bit of a laugh because its so bad.

    There seems to be an endless queue of people wanting to be humiliated by Jeremy Kyle on national tv but you could say the same about Gerry Springer or that other American (bald headed guy Steve ) programme

    Nobody's sticking up for Fair City so I will. It's mighty entertainment, the acting is comedy gold (without meaning to). The stories aren't half bad either.

    I love it and don't care who knows!

    The only good thing about Fair City is Vivienne Connolly.

    How can you not love stuff like this? If you're having a bad day. If you have no money, or life is being horrible to you, just stick on Jeremy Kyle and suddenly life isn't so bad. I could be as ugly and as stupid as this guy, but I am not.

    Take out Love/Hate from that list (even though I don't watch it, everybody is raving about it) and replace with Tallafornia

    Newmug is just trolling everyone knows JK and Fair City is rubbish. But everyone (nearly) likes Love/Hate.

    Besides Love/Hate is more true to life than the other two. Fair City bears no resemblence to Dublin than Manchester does to Eastenders.
