Television shows we hate
WriterofAllWrongs:
That's understandable actually. I like the American version quite a bit, but the use of cringe-as-comedy does get really grating after a while. When my a friend of mine originally told me about it and had me watch it, I spent half the time with a knot in my stomach and a grimace on my face. I think it's a show that grows on you, but you have to be able to stomach those first few viewings. Steve Carell plays an incredible jerk/nice guy with no charisma, and all the semihemidemi-plots are really fun to follow, but it's initially really hard to get into the show just because it's too painfully familiar and embarassing.

Gossip Girl.
Gossip Girl.
Gossip Girl.
Mind you, I haven't actually seen the show itself, however, the bill board adds that I pass by every day for work piss me the fuck off.
RedLion:
Then that's not exactly a fair evaluation of the show. Gossip Girl is mostly just mindless, bubble-gum entertainment. I wouldn't choose to watch it if I was watching TV by myself, but when my girlfriend or sister watches it while I'm around, I actually don't really mind it. It's not that bad.
tania:
writerofallwrongs summed up my views on the office pretty well. i was also expecting to really hate it at first as i'm used to being that typical curmudgeon who hates the things everyone else likes, but after getting through the first season it really grew on me. the characters are really well developed and the way they interact with each other is often completely brilliant. if you can get past the initial awkwardness, it is worth giving a shot.
Vendetagainst:
I was going to mention Sex and the City but I read through the thread and I already have. Still an awful, mindless show filled with shallow pseudo-philosophical bullshit and priorities that are about as straight as the show's main demographic. OH WHAT NOW.
^lame and slightly offensive joke for a lame and slightly offensive show I guess?
