Television Shows You Despise (rant thread)

actually, it's a sign of desperate childishness to hate Barney. I grew out of it when I was ten. You will too.
Meh, whatever. What do you know? All I know is that I hate Barney and many adults hate him too. There are a lot of parodies of him, so I wouldn't say it's exactly desperate childishness.

Or Glenn Beck.

One of the reasons I hate this world

But my sentence about how the world being filled with good people is horribly worded in my part. I didn't mean to take it like this, I meant that he teaches that there are ONLY good things in this world and that we should take the bad things for granted. I'm pretty bad at wording my posts at times.
 
If sense were common, people wouldn't listen to Fox News. I don't know if that qualifies as a television show, but gawd, I wish that thing gets taken off the air. It's poisonous to civilization. But I don't believe in censorship either.

Well, you're not the only one with bad wording. Garlic's argument is also flawed via straw man.

I don't care what nobody thinks.

Look are you going to continue attacking me based on my opinions and stuff I didn't really intend in the first place because I have trouble wording out my thoughts and make straw man arguments or are you going to contribute to the thread?

i don't shoehorn politics into everything
^i could say this too

that said, i do rather miss our political debates here. maybe we should start another thread on that.

although somehow i doubt the discussion would remain civil for long
 
oh god no

not the nationstates forums

they think they're being soooo sophisticated and shit because they're debating aimlessly about topics they don't know a clue about but instead they're just sooooooo annoying.
 
transformers animated

probably one of the worst art styles ever, painful voice acting, probably the shittiest animation ive ever seen in years, just a real snore fest.

I watched about 10 episodes and was just done with it. It was just so hard to tolerate, it didnt help that megatrons major screen time was that of a stand alone head.

Also seems like... the first few episodes was the best it ever got, but after them it just seems like they didnt want to put effort into anything else anymore.

At least it was better than the animes though.

I tried walking into a topic and helping both sides see the other side's point, but I guess I wasn't inflammatory enough and they just ignored me.

When don't you insult people

About that Fam Guy comment you made to me, I know that Family Guy is a very mature show, but I'm not talking about maturity. I'm talking about the fact that there are just some disturbing scenes of just grossness in Regular Show and many other Cartoon Network shows that is just...morbidly obese. Like, I don't know why they have to have such creepy and nightmarish things in it; all it does is give kids nightmares.

Good, thanks for not contributing anything to the topic at all whatsoever. Glad you're dropping out.

And insulting, wow what a great way to start a debate or discussion of any sort. When you resort to insulting, you know you lost an argument. Isn't there a forum rule around here that says "respect all members"? Well what I see here is a total lack of respect. I never personally attacked anyone, all I am stating is my honest opinions on why the shows are bad and I even gave good reasons for that.

I do have flaws yes, but there are more civil and less confrontational ways of discussing my flaws other than outright attacking me by resorting to insults and saying that this is a crappy thread where people act like crap. No one is perfect.

The entire point of this thread is to discuss shows that you hate. I even encouraged that we tolerate all opinions in my OP and that debates are welcome as long as they abide by the forum rules. Saying this thread is crap or it encourages crap behavior is one of the worst forms of criticism I can receive without any sort of reasons how or why, and it's personally insulting and insensitive for you to say things like that.

But this is the last straw. Time to make use of a forum feature...

Here you can discuss about the shows you really hate and why you hate them so much. Isn't it fun to complain? Yeah I know it is :)

Please tolerate other people's opinions unless their opinions are really dumb such as hating My Little Pony for the fanbase (even though if it is a legit complaint, this is talking about the show itself not some insane nobodies obsessing over it). Debates are welcome but we don't need flame-wars over different opinions. :babyluigi:

BTW, even though my post is about cartoons, I mainly only watch cartoons in the first place. I don't want to even bother with real-life shows or teen sitcoms. Sorry about that. But you can list any show you like here.

So, here are the television shows I despise and I'll say why I despise them:

Spongebob Squarepants (later seasons)
All the post movie episodes lacked the humor and the entertainment that the first three seasons had. All the characters are overly flanderized. Spongebob, who used to be a cheerful, childish, yet at least sane person is now turned into a laughing, ear-grating, annoying moron where his implied gay attitude is even more so implied. Patrick is an even bigger idiot than before, and he performs many unfunny stuff (The Splinter oh my god). Squidward is even more miserable than before and I couldn't blame him because of these two morons being even more of an annoyance than before. Mr. Krabs is a greedy a-hole and episodes that are centered around him (Penny Foolish is the worst one) are usually him just being a greedy a-hole. Boring. All of Plankton's episodes these days are just boring and predictable schemes of him trying to get the Krabby Patty formula. Sandy rarely appears and when she does she's just a scientist instead of a karate loving squirrel.

Most of the episodes suck with a few exceptions (Krusty Towers and Wishing You Well are pretty great episodes) with the worst offenders being the most graphically unappealing and being terribly unfunny (The Splinter, that episode with the worms, Face Freeze). Others involve being just plain cruel to characters, especially to Squidward. I personally like Squidward, and I don't mind seeing him abused from time to time but Squid Wood is just an example of how masochist the show's writers can be to a character. Did I also mention that they're WAY too many "specials" that try to make a plot interesting but only end up falling flat on the execution?

Nickelodeon, just let Spongebob die already. Stop ruining the once-great franchise with more crappy episodes that serve only to tarnish Spongebob's reputation as a good show.

The Fairly Oddparents (later seasons)
Don't get me wrong, I'm a Fairly Oddparents fan. I've seen every episode until the latest seasons. But I stopped watching this show after they introduced the fairy baby, Poof. That's when most of us agree that the show went downhill. Just like Spongebob's case, the characters are flanderized from complex characters to one trait morons. Timmy is much too self-centered and a jerk these days. What happened to his 10-year old innocence in the earlier seasons? Wanda nags way too much now and Cosmo....oh my, he's just a screaming idiot right now with no brains left. Timmy's parents are so much dumber and neglectful, and Vicky rarely appears. But when Vicky does appear she's even more evil than normal. But, isn't the whole point of Timmy having fairies because of Vicky being an abusive baby-sitter? Her rare appearances kinda defeat that point. Oh, and Crocker is mostly the same, but with the rest of the cast being so much different, even he doesn't save the show. I've stopped watching quite some time ago, but now I heard they introduced some sort of dog? Oh my. I think this series stopped and it's about time too. I mean, I want Nick to stop ruining FOP just like what they're doing to Spongebob.

Fanboy and Chum-Chum
I've watched like only one episode of this POS and it's clearly a POS. The first thing I noticed is how freaking ugly the CGI is. Jimmy Neutron is another show that uses CGI and it looks MILES better than the hideous characters in Fanboy and Chum Chum. Not to mention that Jimmy Neutron utterly annihilates Fanboy and Chum Chum in terms of quality and other stuff that make a show good. The character designs are freaking ugly and that's what deterred me from watching the show in the first place. I wouldn't be caught dead seeing two pictures of hideous kids with their boogly glass eyes staring at me. I'd rather have all the ponies from My Little Pony and every single Care Bear litter my room and my house and my car than even have a second of this show in my television screen. From what I've seen, the lead two characters are annoying and obnoxious. Their voices make you want to rip your anvil, hammer, and stirrup right out from your ear, and the process itself would be less painful than hearing those two obnoxious brats speak. Having unlikable lead characters makes most time you spend unlikable. The only sane characters with sane names are the good ones! Oh, that reminds me of how stupid the names of the characters are. Fanboy and Chum Chum are uninspired and stupid enough but what about "Yo"? Or "Poopatine"? Ya nice unnecessary Star Wars reference. The humor in this show is absolutely repulsive and disgusting, since the only humor this show seems to know about is toilet humor and fart jokes. I'd give the show some credit for realizing how much this show belongs in the toilet when it uses those type of humor.

Nick 10
What can I say here? EVERYONE HATES IT. EVERYONE HATES THIS ABOMINATION. It's not a show per se, but it's horrible enough for me to want me to rant about it.

For those of you who don't know what Nick 10 is, basically, to put it bluntly, it is about a bunch of random teenage morons doing moronic stuff while it interrupts your favorite show. Yes, you read it right: IT. INTERRUPTS. YOUR. FAVORITE. SHOW. Forget about turning on Nick and seeing beloved Spongebob as a fry cook or seeing Timmy Turner have his wish granted, your precious little show will get interrupted by teenagers doing random crap. And the random crap isn't even REMOTELY funny. Farting in a jar? Stepping on fruit? General asinine activity that is brain dead? Who would want to see that!? What were they thinking? It wouldn't be as bad if it was its own separate show but I guess they didn't have the budget and the schedule to fit this thing in (anyone with a sense of common sense and a brain wouldn't even bother green lighting this ass turd in the first place).

It's a good thing I don't watch TV anymore. Holy crap is this the future of the Nick channel? Please, make it stop! MAKE THIS INSANITY STOP.

Adventure Time
I don't hate it per se, but I haven't found anything appealing in it. I understand some people have quite a few beefs about this show and I understand why they like it but I guess this show isn't for me. I didn't really find the humor funny and the plot is as random as hell (much too random for my tastes). Again, it's probably because this show doesn't cater to me. I don't have much to say for it, but at least some effort was poured into this show. Unlike the first ones I mentioned...

Almost Naked Animals
If any one of you had the unfortunate life of me of being exposed to this horrendous piece of dog turd for even a fraction of a second, then I understand and feel your pain. If you hadn't, you're lucky. I really wish I didn't knew this show existed. I really wish I didn't. But I saw some of it and I must explain to you why it sucks.

First, just look at the title. "Almost Naked Animals". Read it to yourself. Say it out loud. Are you surprised that this show is even on in the first place with a name like that? Who in the world thought this would be a good idea? Can you imagine the dignity falling if you said, "I watched Almost Naked Animals today!"? It's even worse than saying "I watched the Care Bears movie today!".

So if you're unlucky enough to see this on, you'd notice that all the characters are blissfully designed with a sense of uglyness in mind. All the characters are ugly. Even worse is that every single animal has stubble. It's EYE BLEEDING and it doesn't even make sense! Even the female animals don't have stubble! How am I expect to like a character that is covered in stubble as if they were caught in the fire and their fur/feathers didn't even grow back? Oh and the character personalities. They're all bland and boring, with some being annoying including the Spongebob wannabe (the later Spongebob) Howie the Dog. He's stupid and idiotic but without Spongebob's charm. He's always shouting and his voice is bound to give you a headache.

Luckily, I don't more beyond this point since some kids at my school wanted to see this piece of turd and wow I can tell it sucks. I've tried not watching it but the voices and the stuff annoyed the hell out of me. And the ugly characters....oh my god. One of the worst designed characters ever.

Barney the Dinosaur
Ah Barney. The purple dinosaur that everyone loves to hate. The purple dinosaur that makes Yoshi look like he's suffering from depression. The purple dinosaur who secretly wants to kill you. "Strangers are a friend in need" my ass. This show is nothing but pure saccharine sweetened with heavy doses of aspartame and Splenda. All of its cutesy lovey dovey little sweet precious messages makes me want to take out my axe and chop Barney's head off.

I completely understand that I'm not the target audience of this POS but I can name a show MUCH better aimed at kids the age Barney is aimed at: Sesame Street. Sesame Street is awesome. Sesame Street is educational. This show isn't. Not in the slightest. It's actually harmful by teaching kids that the world is filled with good people and that bad stuff are nonexistent. Even as a kid I never really liked Barney. I loved the anti-Barney humor so much better because you know it's cool to hate him.

Rant done.

Some shows I didn't list here but deserve a special mention: Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, Johnny Test, Jersey Shore, iCarly, Problem Solverz. For some of these I would like to watch an episode or two just to see how bad people really say they are.

tl;dr version of my post

Spongebob Squarepants (later seasons): It currently sucks. I hate it.
The Fairly Oddparents (later seasons): I used to like it show but now it sucks.
Fanboy and Chum-Chum: This show is disgusting and ugly
Nick 10: Not really a show but I HATE THIS PILE OF JUNK
Adventure Time: Isn't for me, but that doesn't make it bad
Almost Naked Animals: WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
Barney the Dinosaur: Saccharine coated dinosaur crap
Well i guess im with the same reason about spongebob and fairy oddparents, but i also hate Victorious, but the most i hate would be Jersey Shore
 
You don't have to quote my entire post.... :|
 
I like Regular Show and Adventure Time personally, but what I can't stand is all the disney and nick sitcoms. Victorious, iCarly, Sam and Cat, Dog with A Blog (true creativity right there), Austin and Ally , ALL OF THEM. They all abuse the laugh track, they all have awful jokes, the characters are bland as it gets, and they're all abominations in my eyes.
 
No ine has seemed to mention Kid's Chice Awards yet.
 
Is that really a show to begin with?

This. I call them the "Schneider shows" because all the Nickelodeon ones are made by Dan Schneider. You can tell if they use Pear computers instead of Apple ones.

Also, I realised these shows are really "first world problem"-ey. I mean, the main niche is always something that's entirely unrealistic. "I'm a teenager and I'm an internet celebrity!" "I'm a teenager and I'm a famous singer!" "I'm a teenager and I'm going to a school to BE a famous singer"

And these shows are sometimes made SOLELY to promote some teen singer as a new star. Literally, that's sometimes the only reason.
