Call me what ever you want to call me... (Jus don't call me late for supper!), but there are things I have NO interest in watching and will not watch... If it is on TV and I am somehow 'forced' to be in the room I will fall asleep sitting up or do the best day dreaming ever... (or concentrate on a mobile device...)
In no particular order (I am not interested in any of them)
-Golden Globes
-Academy Awards
-Music Awards ... of any kind.
-Soap Operas (day time or night time)
-Animated animal movies... ie: "Frozen" ... my sister in laws turned this on during Christmas get together. I went home.
-Cooking shows... Any kind. Not interested.
-Home shopping shows/stations.. QVC etc... not happening.
-'Beauty' contests... ugh...
-Reality shows... Any kind.. I can not take watching snippets of idiocy 'over and over and over and over' before and after EVERY commercial break.
-Humane society commercials... too emotional.. I just send money...
-Grey's Anatomy; watched ONCE and some intern revived a unconscious deer in the back of a pick up truck. GAME OVER... not another second on watching that show.
-Marcus Welby MD.. could not stand that show... ugh
What can't you watch?
Wow - that's a great list. I agree with all of those 100%.
I would probably add NBA basketball which I just can't watch although I do.like.college basketball.
Great list Tom and also a nice in in DR.
I will agree but I watched days of our lives for 20+ years but now I have kicked that habit ;D
NBA is a good add.... I never see it, so it skipped my mind.
What's funny is tonight I went out for dinner in town and the three TV's all had none other than the GOLDEN GLOBE awards on... aargh.. At least there was no sound. Ha...

Any of the singing contest shows
Any of the dating/mating shows

Payton Manning's Nationwide Insurance commercial

Stuff on the History Channel that is essentially historical fiction. We aren't descendants of alien astronauts!
British sitcoms
Japanese game shows
Judge Judy, Judge Joe Brown, etc.
Televangelists
Reruns of "Dialing for Dollars" ;)
*I'm stuck with the animated films for awhile, since I have 4 young grandchildren. I've already seen "Frozen" 5 times. :P
Gettin' harder and harder to find Andy Griffith amidst all that TV.

I've had the Andy Griffith theme song as my ring tone for years. Never been a better show on TV!
I forgot to add NASCAR to my list. I'd just rather watch people RUN around the track.
I know many just love it; but I think I'd rather watch my own car warm up than watch NASCAR.
I just started liking Parks and Rec., now they say its' the last season.
PBA Bowling
Aside from football, I sure watch much TV. TV sucks. It's a sad statement that I'd rather chance not catching any fish through some holes in the ice in place of TV.
That leaves me with shows I like. Aside from football, I like: The Best Thing I Ever Ate (food network), Iron Chef (when Masaharu Morimoto is cooking), Andy Griffith, Parks and Rec., even liked The Office back in the day, some Seinfeld, still. Did I mention football?
Thanks the good lord for Sparky!!!
I'll watch Cheese, BI, OTW, etc. for hours. Oh, B1G Network has some good college wrestling. Wish they'd have more.
Watch the History and Discovery Channels. Yah, the Alien crap is too much, but there is good history in those shows to learn from. Sports alot, but no Basketball. You can not make me. I do watch Nascar. Being a racer, I look at it from a different view. I learn from that also. All you have to do is get in any car on an oval and push it to the limit. Not that easy. I will take Road Racing over ovals though.

Same here. No NBA.

I must admit, I do get sucked into a few of the reality shows.

Agreed
Same here with the animated films, although I have not seen Frozen. ;D
I will watch the end of a NASCAR race if I happen to catch it while channel surfing. I love watching the PBR, although I DVR it and watch it in 1/3 of the time.
Anyone else watching the new sitcom State of Affiars? Katherine Heigl makes it much easier to watch. ;)
Nick Guy grew up here. I teach with his sister.
I'm good for some PBR viewing, too.
Keep an eye out for Nick Volden. He's an up-and-comer who trains with BJ Schumacher.
Guy-Sparta
Volden-Cashton
State of Affairs, eh? Hafta check dat owt.
I won't be watching Rush Limbaugh on TV...no way, no how...
That "10 things you never knew about America " with Henry Rollins is cool. Not just cuzza Rollins; though that doesn't hurt.
Rush has a TV Show?
I can do Talk Soup when I come across it.
Little House on the Prairie-Waltons 💤💤💤💤
A show I do like is "Drugs Inc." the reality of drugs is scary yet a fascinating culture and very sad on many levels.
Crazy stuff, eh? Every now and then that's on when I'm surfing. It is interesting.
I always get teary, I mean hold-back-sneezy, when I watch Little House

I appreciate the challenges of it. I have a couple of relatives who do mechanical and body work for a living and those two guys could watch it ALL DAY. Unfortunately, THAT'S the problem. Honestly, I couldn't watch
anything go in a circle that long!
I won't watch things that make me feel bad. News, dramatic reality shows (I love the competition shows).
Things on my DVR:
Celebrity Apprentice: winnings go to charities, but I could do without the bodyslamming of others
The Voice: I love this show and great entertainment
The Biggest Loser: Very inspirational and helpful in my life
Big Bang Theory: Oh yeah do I relate
Person of Interest: I find this entertaining and recognize it's not realistic
CSI: I find the science interesting and I'm a problem solver by trade
NCAA wrestling on BTN: Nuff said
America's Got Talent: Some cool variety entertainment
The Sing Off: Amazing accapella musicians

My granddaughters love it. It's cute, especially for little girls who like the princesses, singing, dancing, etc. My grandsons would rather watch something like Cars or a superhero flick.
My daughtoer loved that stuff. My son and I have always enjoyed what we call "animall killin' films", wildlife documentaries. From Wild Kingdom to all the David Attenborough stuff; I've always loved watching critters. Especially when two square off.

Great show!!!!! loved it!!!
The only problem now is that H2 is kind of my go to channel on the tube but they aint got nothing for me right now I sure wish that they would produce more of these shows.
How about the one with Josh Berstein man that was a good one about 3-5 years ago on the History channel?
Brad Melzer with Decoded was good though conspiricy theories but still good.
Brad Melzer new one about lost history is alright but doesnt have the bite I think it should.
Sad times on TV though I have alot of wrestling DVRed and that is good ;D
When my wife turns to Hallmark channel I head downstairs for almost anything else
Agree 100% with the awards shows. Everyone in Hollywood likes to recognize themselves and I don't care...
Music awards can be fun- Rock&Roll HOF has had some amazing live music.
Animated animal movies I'd "watch" if with family. Not really animals but the animated movie "Incredibles" is really fun.
No interest in watching bowling, basketball, baseball, tennis, hunting shows or bull riding*.
*Only time I'd be interested in watching bull riding is when the bull wins.
I actually enjoy watching all college sports, including basketball. I enjoy supporting the Badgers in all of their programs.
I enjoy any sport where an Illinois team looses........... ;D

You know, even when I was growing up in Illinois, I never could get excited about their college athletic teams. Seems like their best high school athletes always ended up elsewhere.
