Heh, Anatres: I can't disagree, from what little I see of television on flights or when my father-in-law flicks through all the available channels, but I know I'm prejudiced.
I remember when a friend of mine held a television-killing party to celebrate her destruction of the only tv in the house, a number of years ago. We put it in the backyard, on a tarp, and she threw a brick at it from a distance. She missed. Then we yelled out the name of horrible television shows, and she destroyed the picture tube, dead center.

It is horrible.
Jackass is a dumb show.
I belive they're canceling it.
You have to be an absolute idiot to watch shows such as that, bootcamp, or Temptation Island.</STRONG>

Jackass..(I had the wrong name "Dumbass" for the show) is a bunch of fools who try and kill their selfs. Fire, jumping off of stuff, anything were the odds are you will get hurt. MTV hasn't yet banned it...but it looks like it will go to late night.
Bootcamp: fools decide to be yelled at for a half million dollars...(rip off of survivor) run the people to death...then pretend to be their friend.....what a joke...the big bad "drill instructors" have guts so big a 747 can land on it and then taxi to the terminal.

Well since all the bad stuff is covered lets start about the good things,
I love the history and Discovery channel
The simpsons is one of the best shows on anywhere
Bad Cheesemage, this isn't a topic for good television! This is only for terrible stuff. The kind of thing that makes your teeth curl.
What about old rerun shows? I've never liked that series, I Love Lucy, but amazingly, it's still in syndication after almost 50 years. Stupid premise, treats women like crap, and only a laugh track could laugh at its garbage.

The original Star Trek: bad special effects, terrible acting, awful, simplistic scripts, bad, repetitive music, hilariously made-up aliens. It had it all!

@Loner, I never thought the writing got as bad in Dark Shadows as in Star Trek, because it never got as focused. Dark Shadows just kind of rambled along, while Star Trek tried to make Big Points that were (IMO) pretentious and either obvious or debatable.
The acting was generally better in Dark Shadows, too. Even a person trying to play a werewolf was better at it than William Shatner trying to play anything.
