Netizens Are Confused How So Many People Liked These 30 TV Shows Wednesday. Outside of Jenna’s acting it’s pretty bad. It turned Addams Family into something it isn’t. With all the references to social media it really got on my nerves. The Addams Family is a classic that anyone from any age can enjoy. I’m sick of movies and shows trying so hard to appeal to us gen z. “You look like a real life instagram filter”. Like wtf is that dialogue. It’s terrible. No one in my generation talks like this. Why couldn’t the show makers just do what the makers of the Peanuts movie did for Peanuts but for Wednesday and the Addams Family instead. Introduce the Addams Family to new people but keep the charm of the original. Oh yeah and the romance sucked. I don’t understand why those two guys are so in love with Wednesday when she’s so unlikeable. There’s also Wednesday and Morticia having problems with each other when the whole point of the Addams Family is despite being a little weird they are a loving family and have no issues with each other.

Netizens Are Confused How So Many People Liked These 30 TV Shows Grey's Anatomy was interesting for a couple of seasons, but then it became more and more and more ridiculous.

Netizens Are Confused How So Many People Liked These 30 TV Shows During its run, so many people I knew suddenly acted like they were missionaries for Game of Thrones. Practically going door to door, spreading the 'gospel,' and badgering others to pledge that they'd watch it. Even when I'd tell them that I gave it a shot and it wasn't for me, they'd insist that I didn't give it a good enough chance and would interrogate me every time we saw each other about why I didn't watch more of it yet. I spite 'NOT-watched it' even harder.

Netizens Are Confused How So Many People Liked These 30 TV Shows The Office is nine seasons long. And if you ignore the first one (which is pretty meh), it's only downhill with every season after Season 2. It's to the point where it almost starts feeling like different shows broken into different iterations. Like, Jim and Pam from Season 2 through Season 4 is reasonably realistic. Season 5 to Season 7 Michael is just a sitcom with talking head moments. Season 8 to Season 9...can we scrap every last dollar we can out of this?

Netizens Are Confused How So Many People Liked These 30 TV Shows Rick and Morty isn't terrible. But, I’ve had several conversations with friends who insist it’s the most brilliant show on television and even better than peak-The Simpsons, South Park, and Futurama. The same themes and jokes get recycled endlessly. There is very little of the sharp-cutting social commentary I associate with the other excellent adult-animated shows, and I find the writing fairly pedestrian in general. It’s fun, but I also think many people believe it’s significantly overrated.

As an introvert former scientist, I get the jokes, as well as the personalities, which I think helps. The only thing difficult to believe is that the nerdy scientists get a beautiful dumb blonde nympho (which Kaley Cuoco plays really well) move in across the hall. We're never that lucky :( If nothing else, it's enjoyable for the cameos - Bob Newhart in particular. It can't be that bad among scientists if the likes of Stephen Hawking and Neil deGrasse Tyson were happy to appear on it.

Plot & characters aside, the costuming on this show always disrupted my willing suspension of disbelief. Too many long sleeves & layers (not to mention Leonard in his jacket 24/7) considering it takes place in Pasadena. Even in the winter it only gets to the mid-60s (that's about 18C for those across the pond), and in summer you're looking at about 85 (almost 30C).

I don't think Succession is all that funny or witty. I need for someone to have at least ONE redeeming quality so I can root for them, even if I know rationally they're a 'bad guy.' For instance Tony Soprano from The Sopranos. He was awful, but damn, if there weren't moments where I was like, 'F**k yeah, Tony!' There isn't a shred of that for me in Succession. They all suck hard. I'd go so far as to say that the show is definitively not a comedy-drama, but rather a full-out tragedy on the pitfalls of parental child neglect and abuse. But, the one-liners serve to distract from that core tenet.

I guess the tendancy for series to turn into soap-operas is partly because they're usually only commissioned one or two seasons at a time, so a tightly written story arc is only prepared for the first season (or two if you're lucky). After that, it's per-season or per-episode scripting following a "more of the same" approach.

For me, definitely "Friends" I just saw it as a show about six highly annoying people.

Any version of Star Trek. Yeah, I liked it the original when I was a kid, but I didn't grow up obsessed with it.

For me it;s Friends that should be right at the top. A colleague said I had to see it so I watched the first episode and flogged my way through half the second before throwing the DVD set into the dustbin. Not once did it raise a smile, let alone a laugh.

Drop Dead Diva. The last season was so painfully bad, I wished I'd never watched it. Shame really, because I truly enjoyed that show in the beginning.

The Expanse. I'm a huge sci-fi fan, especially "space opera". I can recite the entire multi-season story arcs of Babylon 5 or Battlestar Galactica with my eyes closed. I can identify any episode of Star Trek from a single line of dialogue. However, I can't recall a darn thing that happened in The Expanse. I couldn't even finish the series, gave up after season 3.

What what you like, don't watch what you don't like, and let other people watch what they want. We all have different lives and want different entertainment experiences. Don't understand why a television show or a movie had to be so divisive. It's just entertainment.

In fact, BP author should wait a month and then have us write a collective listicle of shows that went on too long. The original offender Happy Days, definitely The Simpsons, The Walking Dead, Big Bang Theory, Scrubs, 2.5 Men, and?

I actually came to this list to see if I actually heard of these "horrible shows". Surprisingly I have heard of all of them, though haven't watched. Some of the reviews it's like they missed the plot, e.g. Seinfeld. You aren't supposed to "like" the characters or whatever. That fact that you can "hate" the characters v. just not care, I think the show made it's point. SNL was funny once upon a time...

I binge-watch a lot of medical, crime, and attorney dramas. I don't expect them to be completely realistic because they are for entertainment. I know surgeons don't do blood tests or take X-rays themselves, for example. It's like reading a novel for me, and I get into the characters as much as the story. Admittedly, some start to get tedious after many seasons, and I often find myself wondering why the character did or said something particularly stupid, especially when someone else told them not to do it. But they are usually entertaining anyway. When they stop being fun to watch, I check out.

Now I don't even bother watching multi-season series. Give me à good, compact, 8 to 12 eps story like "The Queen's Gambit" that has à full arc of itself. Longer, and the writers' tricks to prolong the angst and start new arcs within arcs become too visible.

A lot of this reminds me of my friend. He cannot watch Silence of the Lambs. He was in his 20s when it came out and all he heard was how great it was and all the critic recommendations and such. I think he's just full of it but I grew up later and learned to ignore critics and just give a movie a chance Good or bad reviews.

Anything, literally ANYTHING, labeled as a 'Reality' show is a complete falsehood. They are all unbearable to watch, because they are all nowhere near to reality than any given viewer's actual experiences. They should be prosecuted for their inclusion of the word 'reality,' because they have nothing to do with reality.

I love a lot of shows and movies other people dont like, and if I like them enough I will watch the entire series multiple times. I have only seen a hand full of the shows listed here. But I loved Young Sheldon and although it annoys many, I think that is the point to keep him in same character as old Sheldon in BBT. I have never watched anything with the Kartrashians, and never will. I dont even want any "reality tv" on in my house.

I know it is the point of this article to let people criticize popular tv-shows, but everyone has a right to have an opinion. People who say; x is terrible, I don't get y, I can not understand x or whatever, because YOU don't like something, that does not mean it IS bad. If you don't like it, don't watch. Don't put people down because you don't like/get/understand it.

For the most part I agree with you, but I've enjoyed watching the various shows like North Woods Law. They are basically Cops, but with game wardens instead of regular police.

The common denominator for majority of these posts is they went/are going on way past their time. Like a lot of these shows would have been excellent had they stopped around season 3.
