Television shows we hate

It's half X-Men, half General Hospital.

So, Smash Lab is hated by others. Good. I thought I was alone in seeing it as a bunch of pleasant-looking young people trying out ridiculous ideals in an effort to give them a reason to do MythBuster-esque experiments. The whole premise feels so contrived, I could hardly stomach seeing the one episode I've watched. Does anyone else feel like the brainstorms we see are pitched to the on-screen by a staff of real technical engineers off-screen?
But on the flip side of that, I actually like Bones even though it's just riding the coattails of House's "technical language is good television." And the appeal has nothing to do with David Boreanez. He's just an unexpected perk in the wake of Dr. Brennan's absent-yet-amusing demeanors.
Muppet King:
Agreed 100% about Smash Lab.
Mythbusters used to be great, but in the past season or two it has become nothing more than obnoxious. Adam continues to try to be a showman, but he's just so annoying and he rarely gets things right. The so called 'build team' lack any and all chemistry on screen; if they would stop trying to play to the camera and just discuss the myths they're doing like normal people maybe they'd be tollerable. Jamie is the only part of the show that is still worth watching for as he's the only one that ever seems to know what he's doing and doesn't try to play to the camera. On top of all that, they don't really test the myths properly anymore; I realize they don't exactly have a budget to do things perfectly, but they cut so many corners at this point that they aren't testing the myth anymore.
Now for my list:
Lost, CSI and its clones, The Riches, Law and Order and its clones, The Shield, reality shows especially American Idol, the new American Gladiators, Lil Bush, Weeds, Family Guy, American Dad
I'm sure there are more, but I can't think of anything else at the moment.

I can't Stand "The View"
Now most all reasons are obivous. Why anyone would want to hear middle-age and over women talk about current events is a mystery to me.

I have an extreme love/hate relationship with Torchwood.
When it's good, it's fantastic. When it's bad, it's god awful.
