• The Simpsons. Let it die, Fox/Disney.
  • Futurama. The Fox seasons is it’s golden age. Now the show is sci-fi South Park. They have a show set in the future, but the writers make episodes based on the present.
  • The Walking Dead. TWD dyed in season 2. They made 13 episodes out of 6 issues of the comic. It was poorly written, characters act like idiots, and the twist in Episode 7. You can see it coming from a mile away.

    I mostly just don’t watch TV. Almost none of it is stuff I’d want to actually cancel - just keep it the fuck away from me and watch whatever you want. However, one of my hated shows was that Honey Boo Boo thing - not only tied to the intensely creepy “child pageant” bs, but aside from that it’s still people screwing with a little girl’s head for 15 minutes of fame. Every part of it making me physically cringe was just a bonus.

    Also parts of my family is watching that 90 Day Fiancee thing, which… mostly seems mean-spirited, exploitative of people in vulnerable situations (being poor, or from a poorer country, or lonely, or just a bit of a moron), vaguely ragebaity - and is of course, pure “reality TV” diarrhea even apart from those. And cringe, likely intentionally boosted for profit same as all the rest.

    I also used to hope Big Bang Theory would just… stop. It has, though, so that’s nice.
