cazzy

Whats your 5 worst TV Programmes ? (seen as there's a 10 best thread going)


Mine are (In no order of pain) :


Winning Streak
Where in the world (from the retro collection)
Keeping up apperances
Any soap but particularly Emmerdale, East Enders etc
Shows where people send in videos (all the same after a few shows-drunked weddings,people falling over etc etc)

Keeping up apperances was good i thought, well not good but can be funny to watch when there **** all on but i havent watche dit in years.

I didnt like that top of the pops thing and i also dont like these shows about pweople going on trying to be singers oh and big brother

all total bollox

Last Monday's episode of The English Class was the most astonishingly awful, incredibly misjudged piece of television I think I have ever seen. Girl throws herself in front of a train. Hilarity ensues. What were the programme makers thinking????

philstar

yes, The English Class is pretty awful

but i ask you does anyone remember an even worse one called...Extra Extra

Toto Wolfcastle

Oh God that show that Laura Woods did instead of Winning Streak. I still have no idea what that was about. I remember loads of people complained to Joe Duffy about it.

Many many RTE 'reality' tv shows. (The one on the island, the one on the farm, etc)

Nigella Lawson's new show- she looks like she wants to have deranged sex with the camera.

That alone should bump it into the "Best programmes ever aired" category.

KevIRL

E Street. Stupid stupid stupid Aussie soap. the stupiedest of Aussie soaps in fact. And thats quite a claim!

Degsy

Big Brother-The shiitheads who go on that show deserve to be kicked to death.An ideal way to weed out the least usefull people on earth would be to hold bogus big brother auditions and then shoot everybody who shows up.You could probably do this year after year as there seems to be no shortage of idiots out there.

McKeever..a load of tosh from norn iron featuring some woman who played different "characters" using exactly the same northern accent.
http://www.random****e.co.uk/nuala-mckeever-uncovered.html

I HATE Prison Break,a ponce-filled,poxily-acted piss-poor,watered-down version of the HBO classic OZ.

The Big Bow Wow..garbage

The Box..RTE's answer to **** knows what,it featured Keet Duffy as the host and a bunch of knobhead with sunglasses on thier heads saying "like" every couple of seconds.

Prosperity..badly scripted,badly acted typical Irish drivel.

It was TV3, and if you don't even know what it rips off, you can't really slate it for that. Loads of other reasons to slate it mind...

Pure muck, regardless of whether Gaybo or Pat the Plank was/is presenting. Definitely a show whose time has come, and long since gone.

Worst show ever made!

I believe I mentioned it! Terrible terrible show. What were they thinking?

Lockstep

Any of those American morality shows where an audienced woop and cheer for 10 minutes every time some overpaid cameo actor appears

Big Brother-Get put a bunch of "characters" in a house, fight with the rest of the crew and make them hate each other, then after having every sh!t and messy exchange of bodily fluids broadcast to the nation, for the love of God, save what dignity you have by not releasing a piss-poor christmas single and appearing in the Sun up to shenanigans.

Any reality TV show really.

Awful comedy

Bo Selecta. I found it for e2 in a junk sale, oh how junk it was. An unfunny man who stalks the only celebrities Ch4 can get (ex BB stars) and talks in about 3 accents.
Oh no.


RTE has a fairly poor selection.

Prison Break. I agree with Degsy here.

That banana splits intro was like a minute long acid trip
Bizarre
And the show is just strange.

The Lyrics Board
(no, it's not so bad it's good, it's so bad it's created a new definition for bad in the OED)

My Family
(this is comdey? BBC are usually quality, this slipped through the net)

You're A Star
(more CC crap from boReTÉ, all the worst aspects of reality song talent shows, add to the mix the eurovision element and the crapiness is complete)

Hollyoaks
(if I need to explain to you why it's crap, then you probably already watch it and I consider you unworthy of further communication)

Xposé
(this show ties up everything I loathe in a little satin bow, ex-TV3 news/AA roadwatch types, celebrity goss, pointless girlie twittering, conspicuous fashion consumption and a pervading air of pretentious self importance)


I've tried to be fair and taken something from each channel. Obviously reality TV is a general dislike and there's plenty of crap on the satelitte channels that I haven't got round to, but the above list is fairly conclusive from my POV.

I agree with all of the above....I know someone who loves Linda Martin (I don't think he's joking) and loves the Lyrics Board. Scary stuff.

I would like to add The Animals of Farthing Wood. It ruined my childhood by being on all the time.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the overrated Family Guy yet.
"Aw man it's so random!" Piss off.

jester77

1. Soaps, worse crap ever put on TV, cornation street, emmerdale farm, brookside, eastenders, etc..
2. Reality shows, same as 1 but if it's any small consolation then at least the acting is a little more realistic! Although I did get a laugh out of that Irish one, forget the name, where they had people on a boat going around Ireland and it sank... and they didn't even get that bit on camera, lol!!
3. Irish quiz shows, they somehow make you always cringe. winning streak, lyrics board, that dude with the dickie bow, forget the name of that awful show!
4. The wannabe shows where people who can't sing/act/dance get up and make national fools of themselves!
5. Barney or those tinky/winky guys... hard call but they are a serious improvement over that lot above!

I have to disagree I loved that show.

I personally don't get 24, my friends love it but it just doesn't click with me. Its not the worst TV I have seen

Grey's Anatomy is crap, my girlfriend will not accept that its a show aimed at women and when i refuse to watch it, as it offends my brain, the show causes arguements.

Prison Break has taken a nose dive. It started well, genius going to jail to save his brother, plans on his body but then it just went mental. Showed have left it at one season.

Any soap, reality tv show or talent show I find more boring than the advertising in between.

A special shout out goes to the MTV brands of the above. "My Super Sweet 16" or whatever it is, "The Hills", "Made". These all make baby jesus cry

Aw come on now, any show on RTÉ that managed to include atari gaming as part of primetime sunday viewing deserves to be remembered in a positive light.

Those are my 3 favourite things to watch on MTV.
Super Sweet 16 is hilarious. And scary. And hilarious again.
Made is actually really sweet and I love the idea of it. The way the person in question takes on a new job/role etc is great fun to watch.
The Hills is horrible but brilliant almost all at once. I love it.

The Cassidy's is my pick though.
the very thoughts of it.
*shudder*

South park..swearing cartoons..very f*cking funny

I'm sorry to say that there are quite a few Irish shows that are fairly rubbish - Saw that "The English Class" the other day and had to agree that it was ****e! I can't tell if they are trying to be funny or morbidly ironic... (actually mightn't be that bad if the latter) Celebrity Farm, Cabin Fever, all those... Not too good. (Af)Fair City... I wouldn't mind but some quality programmes have come from RTE considering it is so small compared to the
likes of BBC...

I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! Don't like reality shows but this one is particularly bad...

Telly Tubbies!

I think though the reason there aren't as many bad American shows is that we just only get to see the good ones because RTE and BBC and SKY and the rest of them can afford to be choosy, but if we lived in America, with all the different networks they have, I'm sure we'd see some crap...

"God, the Devil and Bob", according to the RTE announcer was "cancelled in America because it was so contraversial", but after watching it, the real reason it was cancelled became clear. (It was crap and no one would watch it).

The later episodes of The Simpsons... Any catchphrase comedy sketch shows... To the guy asking about Little Britain above, I almost agree... Each character is funny when first introduced, but just replayed over and over and over!

California Dreams!

Jip

CSI Miami because of that bastarding Horatio fella.

the_syco

Power Rangers cos it's not only crap, but also the amount of crap it produced.

tintin67

Late Late Show??

Get a grip

Conor108

Any nickelodeon/cartoon network show.

Call me insane but I thought the English Class was OK. Mostly due to the hot wimmin.

Biro

Big Brother and Podge and Rodge.

Nightwish

All reality tv shows
The shows where people send in videos of their idiot kid falling over the cat
Every attempt at comedy by RTE (Upwardly Mobile to Dan and Becs)
Stupid lowbrow American sitcoms
Soap operas
Little Britain (why cant people see its the same thing over and over and over)
Bo Selecta

RadioCity

Anyone mentioned Kenny Live yet...?

_Kaiser_

Virtually anything produced by/for RTE (yes this includes the Late Late show as well as other tripe such as Kilnaskully)

Hollyoaks (god I can't stand it, but the lads I share with love it??) and any soap in general (most of which they also watch)

Any reality TV show (especially Big Brother. The best year of it was the one when E4 launched because Cablelink/NTL hadn't added it to the line-up yet and Sky wasn't as popular then.. summer of bliss!)

Simpsons (post season 8/9ish. Basically around the time they moved to computer animation and celeb cameo's to prop up the show)

DarkJager

Any reality TV Show ever made, but escpecially that piece of **** called I'm a celebrity... TV3 interrupt The Shield (excellent tv show) mid season, to show a bunch of fcuking nobodies eating rats in a jungle.

thelordofcheese

Sex and the city: or, "some neurotic harridans blither mindlessly untill my brain leaks out my ear". How this got pupular, i'll never know.
