Seinfeld, The Simpsons and Star Drek and anything related to it are the shows I just can’t stand. They are not allowed to be on the TV when I am around.
I don’t understand the overall humor in shows like Family Guy, American Dad, Futurama and the shows my kids love to watch.
The Mindy Project, Archer, All the ‘Alaskan something people pretending to live off the land’ shows. Come to think of it…any ‘reality TV’. Reality TV = non-actors acting out a script written by actual Hollywood writers who wouldn’t know real life if it hit them in the camera lens.
Arrested Development. Hated it. Brooklyn 99. I can’t stand Adam Sandler. Never got Seinfeld either.
For movies- Walkabout. Interstellar. (I love sci-fi, but that was about the stupidest movie I have ever seen.) Napoleon Dynamite. (Just ick.)
I may be the only person who thought the movie " Bridesmaids " was crass and not at all funny
Joss Whedon’s Firefly. Heard so many people rave about it. I thought it was laughably bad.
I fell asleep 15 minutes into Lost in Translation, so at least I got something useful out of it.
Most modern cartoons on TV… The computer animation is so sloppy, and the stories are dumb. Sponge Bob Squarepants started the downhill slide…
Just don’t get The Matrix.
@FallGirl - I refused to see Bridesmaids just based on the trailers.
The absolute worst movie I have ever seen, bar none, was Even Cowgirls Sing the Blues. H loves Tom Robbins and I find his writing atrocious and boring. The most awful part about it was that H took me to see it for MY birthday. I still remind him about it and since my birthday is coming up, he’s been getting teased alot. He threatened to buy the DVD for me this year… The movie H hated the most is Howard’s End. He actually left and snuck into the theater next door to watch Encino Man instead. If he buys me the Cowgirls DVD, I will get the audio book of Howard’s End and force him to listen to it in the car…
Interesting topic. I love a lot of the things mentioned here, particularly the SciFi things. Funny to see how some things are liked/disliked by people with other interests that are similar.
I don’t get the attraction of reality shows at all. If I want unscripted craziness, I can just read Twitter in the morning.
I also never got Seinfeld, but I’m too much of a West Coaster.
There was a foreign film called “Wings of Desire” that a lot of friends mention as having been great. I didn’t even get what the plot was supposed to be.
In contrast, I never got why “Inception” was liked by so many people for being complex. It seemed like a fairly simple premise.
The Blacklist. I tried, I really did. Couldn’t do it and I absolutely love James Spader though there’s not much Spader left in the tank these days.
I liked Blacklist for awhile, but I got tired of it.
Frazier and Cheers–I just don’t get them, nor Seinfeld, Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Middle and so many more. We rarely watch tv. Also won’t watch any contests or “reality” shows–yuck.
Also not a fan of graphic violence, but H likes some of it.
Forrest Gump
Any Fast and the Furious movie
That seems a broad brush to paint. You didn’t like Blade Runner? Gladiator? The Martian? 
Not that I’m a Thelma and Louise fan, but Ridley Scott has made some awesome movies.
I think many of these tv shows that people don’t like, you have to sit through a number of them, not doing anything else, to start appreciating them. You need to learn about the characters to get the subtle humor, and if you just watch one episode or part of one, you really aren’t going to like it. I haven’t been able to sit through Silicon Valley yet, but I’m sure I’d like it if I did.
I like walking dead. I don’t like fear of the walking dead. One show is enough and whats with this insane idea to bring back Dynasty? It’s not going to work!!
Anything on MTV. When did it stop showing videos??? “I want my MTV!” (Can you tell I was a teen when MTV started:)?
I agree that some shows take a few viewings. I actually like a lot of shows people have mentioned. One that I tried was Arrested Development. I was just bored.
If Seinfeld was supposed to be the best sitcom in the history of television, how come so many on here don’t care for it? The movie whose appeal I’ve never understood is Dirty Dancing. I saw it once and it was a nice, fun little movie, but nothing to merit the cult status it has.
As the parent of three nerdy kids and a former nerdy teenager myself, Napoleon Dynamite is one of our favorites and probably the most quoted movie in the house. That also puts Star Trek and Lord of the Rings right in our wheelhouse.
The ones I don’t like - super-obvious humor (Roseanne, anything with Jim Carrey) and contrived competitions (American Idol, The Voice, DWTS, etc.; exception for the a capella The Sing Off which I found interesting).
Also, any cop or doctor episode where the bad stuff is happening to the main characters. It just seems they were too lazy to hire extras for the week.
