4. All the Star Trek spinoffs.
Any reality show that has any of the following words in the title:
Idol/Talent/Model
Dance/Dancing
Chef/Cook/Kitchen

I'll stop there.

5. I would change that to some Trek spin-offs.
I loathed Voyager and Enterprise but loved Next Gen and DS9.

But yeah, reality shows suck.

8. You make me sad. I would lose half of what I watch. (I love Treks and
"So you think you can Dance.")

14. I liked most of the Star Trek spin-offs...
Taken for what each was worth they weren't bad. Not high thought TV at any rate, but not bad for escapism. (OK, Voyager was the weakest of the bunch for me, though I did like the doctor. Seems the doctor is generally the best one on the shows.)

11. The Rush Limbaugh show
Who would be THAT stupid, to make a TV show with Rush Limbaugh?

Oh, Roger Ailes, now-president at Faux "news." Figures.

I mean, that fat fuck ran the "Bill Clinton tear" video so many times and so many ways, his own audience was screaming at him!

17. MASH
The show was wretch-worthy glurge by the time it was done. Always a pale, bastardized reflection of the movie.

18. Perhaps.. but it brought a perspective on the Vietnam War into
American livingrooms in a way that the movie never could have.

21. "My Big Fat Greek Life"
Soulless television follow up made to cash in on the charming, likeable film.

Thankfully, it died a quick death.

22. Half-Hour-News-Hour, Cavemen (Geico), The Cleveland Show,
Donkey Kong Country (Cartoon), Joey, Conviction (The Law and Order Spinoff), Bubsy the cartoon, Threat Matrix (24 ripoff), The Winner (MacFarlane's biggest blunder, sitcom), Win Ben Stein's Money

The only funny part about these shows is that somebody thought they would be a good idea.
