Absolutely Fabulous (1992)
I don't hate the programme.
There are certain episodes I enjoyed watching, but Jennifer Saunders occasionally over-acts which kinda ruins the programme.

Beavis and Butt-Head (1993)
It ain't as great as the Simpsons and certain other cartoons which I won't name right now.
Beavis & Butthead would've kept me into the spirit if it wasn't for the annoying and off-putting laughter from the main characters.

Don't ask me why I put a kid's programme on there. I don't judge programmes/films by their target audience.
I was nine when it first came out. I never enjoyed it. I only saw certain elements of it, because I was child-mindered at the time and there were also younger kids being looked after.
The reasons why I deny being a fan; I hate the theme tune (couldn't be less interested in the fact that it was number 1 in the UK charts), I hate how the characters mouthes moved, I hate the whole atmosphere of it and I think Neil Morrissey was so much better when he starred as Tony in Men Behaving Badly.

Britain's Got Talent (2007)
I like a good talent show; so long as they get rid of them irritating buzzing sounds!

Friends (1994)
It remains a mystery why so many people love this programme; if this is supposed to be a comedy, then I'm sorry, but I don't find nothing funny about it.

Glee (2009)
Need I watch the programme?
I've heard all of the disgusting covers the cast performed; that's enough evidence for me.

The Good Life (1975)
Okay, so it's a sitcom about a married couple on the dole, who spend a lot of time in the garden.
What's the appeal?
Felicity Kendal, just because she's gorgeous?
The well-designed title sequence?
Humour? - if this is supposed to be a comedy, where's the humour?
Wendy Richard may have been gorgeous, but that wasn't the reason why I watched Are You Being Served!

Little Britain (2003)
The first few series seemed to be going well, but by series 3, the jokes started to get damaged by repetition.
The Daffyd Thomas ones were just getting silly
Emily Howard is better off without a sidekick
Most of the Lou & Andy sketches are predictable; you know Andy's gonna climb out of his wheelchair at some point.
Though I have to admit Little Britain is quite irresistible.

Men Behaving Badly (1992)
As I stated, this programme so beats Bob The Builder (see above the Neil M subject).
However there were some episodes which were absolutely teadious i.e. the one which is set entirely in the lounge and their watching the telly. God I hate that one! - and I think there's another episode similar to that.
Most of the storylines seem to centre around Gary & Tony's love relationships with the women - yawn!

Mock the Week (2005)
Har har har! Very funny, that I do not think.
Topic given
Each comedian gives a statement that they think will make us laugh, Annoying buzz follows.

My Family (2000)
The first few series were so better than the last ones.
When they got rid of Nick, that's when My Family started to fall apart.
Not even bringing a random lodger called Alfie could heighten my engagement.

The Office (UK) (2001)
Everybody seems to love this one so much! So why don't I?
Easy; being that this is a sitcom, all the characters do is try to be funny. The Office couldn't give me one spark of laughter.
Ricky Gervais was better in the Ricky Gervais Show and An Idiot Abroad.

It's all a load of nonsense. Every contestant does the same dance moves. How the hell can the judges tell who the best dancer was?

Teletubbies (1997)
The theme tune is just as annoying as the one for Bob The Builder, as are the intro and outro to each episode.
Speaking of episodes, neither of them have a real storyline. The narrator can bugger off and all!

Top Gear (1978)
I may have a love for particular cars, but it doesn't mean I'm gonna watch some shows off driving like crazy, alright?
