anyone ever noticed how 9 out of 10 "reality" shows have absolutely nothing to do with reality?
I really don't watch enough network tv to be very familiar with more than a handful of shows.
As far as I'm concerned, the ESPN family, VH1, VH1 Classic, Fuse, TV Land, Comedy Central, TBS and Boomerang are all a fella needs to get by
Comcast sports net/fox sports depending on where you live
ESPN is about useless unless they have an actual game on.
TNT as well as ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX are needed for games as well.
beyond those, give me a few decent movie channells and the history channel
oh, and Family guy rocks.

There was a recent post about old tv shows that were cancelled. So someone mentioned about tv shows that should be cancelled.
IMO:
All reality shows (The Bachelor, Amazing Race, etc.)
CSI NY & Miami. I don't need all 3. Keep the original LV one.
How I met your mother.-although I do like it, let's reveal the mother & do some flash forwards/flash backs.
Two & a half men. -really, we have Charlie Sheen acting like this in real life without the studio audience.
For HIMYM they should be introducing the mother this or next season. Unless they pull a Simpsons and the next five seasons are set in 2011.
please cancel any of those stupid shows that are on TLC:
a guy and his harem of women
tykes in tinsel and glitter
My huge litter of kids and more to come
How much can I spend on a 3 year old's party and how do I top it next year
Kitchhen/Cake/Toilet/House Boss
I thought TLC was supposed to be The Learning Channel, not Trashy Loser Channel
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
What does the "M" stand for? I remember a channel that I used to watch when I was younger; it was called Music Television, and it also used the acronym "MTV." I loved it. That's how I was introduced to REM, Def Leppard, Guns & Roses, Nirvana, and......Pearl Jam. I still remember watching the "Alive" video for the first time.
Oh well, I miss that channel.
We only got MTV here when had already turned to shit. I too don't understand why its still called MTV???

beyond those, give me a few decent movie channells and the history channel
remember when the history channel actually had programming about history?
now its all shitty ghost shows where fratty lookin dudes play with night vision... and historically debatable alien stuff :geek:
all network sitcoms and big budget sci fi shows (the event, v, etc.) should be cancelled... and outsourced... and that show that was clearly pitched as a mix between lost and greys anatomy

What dude needs VH1 or Fuse? Vh1 is the same as MTV. Fuse is the shitty artist takeover channel, anymore.
Family Guy and Simpsons have both run their course. The best parts of Family Guy are alot funnier than the Simpsons, even in their heyday.
The Office is good, but yeah the stupid over the top shit that Carrell does really turns me off the show.
Just started catchin up on old How I Met Your Mother episodes and it's pretty funny, but Ted is a fucking douche. That guy wouldn't be friends with Marshall or Barney in a million years. I hope it ends with the 2 kids standing up off the couch and telling him what a dumb fuck he is.
Just get rid of "reality" shows. If you're gonna have them at least disclose that they're not real.
Also, any show about celebs being celebs can go fuck off too.
A few years ago I "downgraded" to 5 channel cable: CBS, FOX, ABC, NBC, and PBS (PBS is the only reason I am fine with paying $5 a month. The other channels I couldn't care less about). It was the best decision I could have made, for economic reasons-I save $700 a year-and for basic peace of mind. I suggest everyone try this for 6 months or so; I guarantee that you would spend more time outside, more time talking with your roommate, boy/girlfriend, spouse, and more time reading: fiction, the news, anything. And, most importantly, you would soon realize the utter banality and uselessness of television in the 21st century. How much time do we spend on the damn couch? Why is our (the U.S.) obesity rate 33%?
As an English instructor (one year away from my PhD and years of bartending/serving while I sink in the horrendous job market!!), this seems like a logical choice for me. I enjoy reading; I enjoy being informed of what is going on in the world and in our nation. I have friends who have no TV. Nothing. I also have friends who spend their time watching celebrities dance, rose ceremonies, idiots on a beach in Jersey, and the endless number of cop and medical dramas. I can think of no better way to describe this other than calling it a huge waste of time. This is just my opinion. I have long, intelligent, stimulating conversations with my friends who have abandoned TV. If I try to talk politics with my friends who don't do an ounce of reading or research into importance social or political issues, I find myself laughing. The laughter though, is simply a mask to hide my sadness. My sadness stems from the fact that some of my friends know nothing, and instead are content being imprisoned by their narrow belief systems. Sad.
Anyway, this is just my meaningless opinion. I do think though, that we would all be better off if we turned off the - as my friend likes to refer to it - boob-tube.

Those fellas are annoying....I am hoping some redneck takes exception to the whimsical smart-ass remarks from the tall guy and teaches him a lesson.
and stop showing reruns of scrubs for pete's sake

They are more annoying then the celebs they cover.
They should also cancel any reality shows that are re-enactments of actual events. Operation REPO is one of the culprits.
