I'm still trying to see the point of Marvels Agents of Shield, or whatever it's called ... it's kind of left me cold, though a little eye candy in it.

Agree with others on the celebrity crap, and there are some ... daytime shows that should never have been made. Anything with Real Housewives of x (Beverley Hills, Atlanta, Orange County etc) though

Real Housewives of Fab Swingers would be a cracking show!!!!

Never really got how they're "reality" when it's all scripted

Breaking Bad never really grasped me and How I Met Your Mother's humour goes straight over my head!

anything with Charlie Sheen in it, I just don't get why he's even famous, i'm sure he's just riding on the back of his dad's fame, if his dad was a no one there's no way he'd be on TV

Breaking Bad really didn't grab me. Unfortunately the other half was obsessed with it and watched every single episode when he was last here for the week. A whole week of it. A WEEK! I was neglected!

Reality and "talent" shows. Too many and they are all just a yawnarama and don't understand the attraction.

Give me some well scripted drama, comedy, or anything else.

Doctor Who, just don't see the fascination with it. Torch wood as well, but only cause Barrowman does my tits in.

Eastenders has got to be the most depressing show ever.

Arrow, biggest let down. Expected good things from it, same as Agents of Shield. Pants.

Course there is. If you know what they're on about. There's a lot of comic gags that people miss if they're not geeky.
