[XNASA]

Poll question: What's the highest rated TV Show that you've NEVER watched?

Here are the top 9 Broadcast Network TV Programs (excluding pre-season football) according to Nielson.

They're listed top to bottom, highest to lowest. Which is the highest rated program you've never watched an entire episode of.........

[DisgustipatedinCA]

1. Other

I've seen Law and Order before. I've seen 60 Minutes, although I've never seen 60 Minutes II. Outside of that, I've not seen any of these shows.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

2. Big Brother/For Love or Money

I can't stand the reality TV crap.

[VermontDem2004]

3. actually none of those

I know CSI is the highest rated show on TV but have no idea what channel or what time it comes on.

[XNASA]

5. Actually it's a tie between ELR and L&O for #1.

[VermontDem2004]

9. I am sure it is CSI, or CSI Miami

I was looking at the stats and CSI was #1 and had like 10 million viewers on average every night. I am sure CSI is #1, but would like to see the stats again, unfortunately I didn't save the link.

[XNASA]

My data is fresh.

Got it off of Nielson's homepage this morning.

[LuLu550]

4. most but not all

of them. I have seen CSI and one "Without a trace" because one of the real missing people is the sister-in-law of someone I work with.

[lpbk2713]

6. I haven't watched any sitcoms for years

They're all from the sam cookie cutter. The bumbling husband, the "always knows better" wife, the gay/les neighbor, the ne'er-do-well best buddy, the precocious kiddies, the cynical parents. Take away the titles and the opening credits and you don't know which one you're watching.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

11. I'm with you

The last sitcom I watched with any regularity was Murphy Brown, and even that got stale after a couple of years.

[kmla]

7. Shows I have never watched...

Law and Order
Law and Order - Any of the derivatives.
The X Files - has come and gone without me watching a single episode.
Big Brother - any version.
American Idol
So, you wanna marry a Millionaire - or any of those God-awful things!
Any of the Survivor: shows beyond the final episode of #1.

I usually watch whatever is on Discovery channel, or Bravo.

Honorable mention - I never watched any episode of 30-something either. Who wants to watch people with the same types of problems that you have that are better looking than you are?:shrug:

[MissMillie]

16. I love Law & Order!!!!!

It's one of 2 shows I never miss. The other would be "The West Wing"

[mark0rama]

19. I like the whole L&O franchise.

...it gets some criticism around this end of the Web for being too far to the right politically, but the drama is so good it doesn't matter to me.

Mostly I prefer the original show; I love the cast of SVU but the crimes are too creepy for my entertainment tastes. D'Onofrio is great on CI but I haven't really gotten in the habit of watching that one.

I like West Wing a lot too, but last season it kind of bored me, at least up until the cliffhanger.

[maxanne]

8. I am a cultural wasteland

I've seen Law and Order. It's the only one of those shows I've ever seen - and some of them I've never even heard of.

I've turned on the set about 6 times in 2003.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

10. All of the above!

Wow, I knew I was out of step with the tastes of mainstream America, but that is funny. I've never even tuned into a single episode of any of those.

[bookman]

12. Reality shows

I don't watch them with one exception.

Survivor is my guilty pleasure. I'm not sure why?

[Liberal Veteran]

21. Don't feel bad...I watch it too...

And there isn't a single show in that list that I watch.

[supernova]

13. Reality shows top

my never seen list. Close behind are inane sitcoms like King of Queens. I'm partial to Britcoms, myself. And if I ever get to working again and can afford cable, I'll be tuned into Food Network 24/7.

I do however, like both CSIs. It appeals to my analytical brain.

[EX-CONservative]

37. I love Britcoms, too!

My favorite is "Keeping Up Apperances"! :yourock:

[MissMillie]

14. There's two on that list I've never seen...

So which ever is rated higher "For Love or Money" or "Big Brother 4" is the one that gets my vote.

[FlashHarry]

15. I've never watched any of those.

The only current network show I watch is The West Wing (surprise). I've never seen a reality show, either. Personally, I think the best television is on HBO.

[Skittles]

17. ER

Soap opera in a hospital. Bad acting. You can see the story lines a mile away. Unbelievably f***ing ANNOYING.

[leftofthedial]

18. I watched Law and Order reruns a few times

and 60 Minutes II for about 15 minutes once.

I watched Seinfeld once. Never watched Friends.

[Snow]

20. Okay, I can top you "I've never seen any of 'em" guys.....

I've never _heard_ of two of those (King of Queens, and, ummm, what was the one under that?)

[DEM FAN]

22. Me.. CSI. I Have Never Watched CSI. I Could Care Less.

:shrug:

[chadm]

23. 3/4 of them

I have never watched.

[Kat45]

24. I've only watched two of them, and not too often

so that was a tough poll.

[Wickerman]

25. CSI

I have friends in crime labs and they are horribly offended by how inaccurate and sensationalized CSI is, and how it is creating unrealistic expectations among their customers, both internal and external - so, I boycott it, much like I do Walmart or ESPN (Rush Limpbag).

[GalleryGod]

26. "FRIENDS"

I wish they'd all just Go A-way!:puke: i'll be there for Youuuuuuuuuu:puke:

[Stuckinthebush]

27. West Wing

I know! I just don't have time. Although I do have TiVo, I've missed so many that I feel out of the loop.

I'll get the DVDs eventually.

[Hubert Flottz]

28. None,,, there's a repub on every channel spinning for Bushco!

The Bunkeroo Bunko Bunkhouse Gangstas From Hell are on my TV 24/7! I thought mixing Church, Bunko and State was the worst, but now we're mixing Football and Bunko with a Pig! AmuriKKKa has gone to the dawgs since Bushco started having his anointed and Holy Visions! Clonedaleeza Rife (with crime) was on My TV yesterday saying Shrub had another vision for Iraq! I pity those shell shocked people in Iraq if it's anything like his visons for shell shocked Amerikkka!

[LSdemocrat]

29. I've only seen Law & Order

although I haven't even watched that in about 5 years.

[Keithpotkin]

30. never watched any of those,

and proud!

[CBHagman]

31. It's easier to list the ones I have watched.

I have watched "Law and Order," "60 Minutes," and "The King of Queens," though I don't bother with any of them on a regular basis. The only one I choose to watch during first-run episode season (as short as THAT is) is "Everybody Loves Raymond."

I don't give a rat's rear end about any of the others, and I mean that with all my heart. :-)

[Uzybone]

32. American Idol and Friends

never watched more than 1 minute of that crapola.

And on that list...Ive not watched a single one.

[LWolf]

33. I've seen 3 of the 9.

And I've only seen CSI a couple of times because my son had it on when I was home. That means I was in the room while it was on.

The other 2 I've seen are Law & Order & 60 minutes. It's been 2 1/2 years since I've seen 60 minutes.

[HEyHEY]

34. With the exception of 60 minutes

I have NEVER seen any of those shows! haha!

[EX-CONservative]

35. Write-IN:

I write in Friends.

The conversations are shallow and lacks the ribalry of Frasier.

I know i'm only 22 but Friends is a show even Chimpy can watch...

:shrug:

[EX-CONservative]

36. BTW,

Except for Everybody Loves Raymond (hilarious!) and 60 Minutes II and oncein-a-while King of Queens, all the other shows suck.

[REP]

38. Can't Answer Poll

I've only watched Law and Order - and I like L&O. Have never watched a nanosecond of the others.

[laconicsax]

39. I haven't seen any of them except for L&O

The Law and Order shows are, and always have been really good. I haven't seen them as much as I'd like recently, but I'll always watch when it's on--rerun or new show.

[thom1102]

40. ditto...

only I don't have a high opinion of L&O, I just watch it sometimes because it follows West Wing and there is nothing else better on.

[Catshrink]

41. Other: Seinfeld

Never could figure it out.
