Special K Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 In my Curb Your Enthusiasm thread, I received a response from one of our esteemed posters that he had never seen an episode of the show. That inspired me to start a topic asking what famous or popular TV series have you never watched?? Here are a few of mine: Game of Thrones The West Wing Will and Grace Honorable Mention: I didn't watch Breaking Bad until after the series was complete(watched it on Netflix). What are some of yours?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) now I'm female so this makes this choice maybe a bit surprising. But I have never not once looked at an episode of the Kardashians. The family some consider American royalty. Yes all successful women in their own rights. It's the saturation social media overkill EVERY relationship, EVERY couture moment. I saw enough on my feeds to say BASTA enough already. I don't care about your glamorous life, who you are sleeping with your mansions, none of it. Other than that I don't watch much network television. I have never watched an episode of "The Crown". I read it was very good and popular. I just never have gotten there. Yet.

What is sad is that some peeps could name every Kardashian and all their significant others, yet ask the same person to do a simple math problem like 3 X 3 X 3 and they are stumped. I ,too have never watched 10 seconds of Kardashians. To me a Kardashian is one of the bad guys on Star Trek Next Generation or Deep Space Nine Edited March 10 by LewPort71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) I didn’t even know the Kardashians had a program. Now that I know, I will continue to avoid them at all costs. I thought they just polluted the checkout line at the grocery store. I don’t get being famous for being famous. What is your contribution? I knew Curb You Enthusiasm was a show, but I’ve never seen even a minute of it. I’ve never watched Breaking Bad, and I heard a LOT about The Sopranos without ever seeing any of it. Is Danny Devito in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia? I enjoy him, but I’ve never seen the show. On a related note, how is it that Colin Cowherd has never seen Remember The Titans? That feels like a job requirement. . Edited March 10 by Augie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still not motivated to watch Jersey Shore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boater Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Easy: Big Bang Theory. I turned it on once and couldn't get past the incessant laugh track. I changed channels within seconds. I wonder if I would have liked it without the laugh track. How many TV shows has the laugh track ruined? I know Seinfeld experimented with it for a couple episodes, then canned it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 These are from a few years back, but I never saw Lost or 24– when it seemed like everyone I knew was watching those. Also, have never seen Breaking Bad (saw the first episode but couldn’t get into it). I would also like to meet someone who actually watches these so-called No. 1 TV shows, like CSI or NCIS. I have never seen those either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure. I just took a quick listen on Youtube and it seems like laugh track. Maybe it's the way that the audio engineers handle the laughter. It seems artificial.

I have never watched most of these reality competition shows like Amazing Race, American Idol, Bachelorette, X factor, etc. However, I do watch MTV's The Challenge(watched it since the beginning), and my summertime guilty pleasure Big Brother(no Football, Basketball, Hockey going on when its on in the Summer). It's funny reading everyone's responses, and realizing I haven't seen 80% of the shows mentioned either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give it another shot someday- third time'll be the charm. Started Mad Men twice, the second time I gave it a longer leash- Loved that show! The story lines maybe got a bit thin toward the very end of the series, but the characters were awesome, and the very end nailed it. Curb's a no-brainer to me- a lot of pointless yet poignant fun, front to back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ones on your list that I have watched, I have bolded, so we have very similar watching habits. A couple others I have never seen: 24 and Greys Anatomy. But I can't believe that you never saw any episodes of Taxi; that was a great show! And of course The Honeymooners was an iconic classic. Hogan's Heroes and Barney Miller were OK, but nothing to write home about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it became this vile far left/woke propaganda machine. It was insulting. The same thing happened to New Amsterdam. It started off interesting then became woke and had a real attitude about it.
