    Top gear and shows like that :/
    Match of The Day - BORING! Shove it on Sky sports or some channel where it doesn't affect my programmes!
    Emmerdale Farm - yawn yawn!

    Skins is good
    I love Desperate Housewives and will be gutted when it goes
    The Vampire Diaries is a stand out show for me (I got into it because of Twilight :P)
    Beautiful People - hilarious yet very underrated
    Your taste in Tv is terrible.

    Does anyone remember Prison Break. Everyone used to love that show but i never seemed to find it interesting.
    Remember it? I'm currently in a vegetative state stuck to my screen watching it, for the second time.

    Keith lemon needs to die.

    This is probably more crazy in the us, but the UK office is 1000 times better than its UK counterpart. The us one does what all Americans do - copy the British but take out all wit and intelligence.

    I don't like "the big bang theory". Many people have fun for one, but, in my opinion, it's not amusing.

    it was good in the first 2-3 series , now they just change their characters so it is hard to get into it.

    1. The consensus nowadays seems to be is that Friends is crap and if you like it you're an idiot. My controversial opinion is that it's actually a fantastic comedy series and for sheer laughs is up there with the best of them. My other comedy faves are HIMYM, Curb, Extras, Peep Show, Alan Partridge, Flight of the Conchords, Simpsons, South Park, Futurama. Friends is by far the most mainstream and has been way overplayed on Channel 4, but that makes it no less funny.

    2. Mad Men is crap. I don't care that it's "slow" - I love The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, The Wire and Breaking Bad - all shows which move extremely slowly at certain points. Mad Men is just full of uninteresting characters, plots that go nowhere, and gives you nothing and nobody to care about.

    3. Lost is brilliant. The last series was a bit poor, but the final episode was amazing. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't really get what kind of show it was.

    I love Being Erica. It's not exactly 5 star TV, but I like it.
    I like Matt Smith as the Doctor just as much as I like David Tennant.
    Joseph Gilgun is a fantastic replacement for Robert Sheehan in Misfits. (Don't get me wrong, I love Nathan, but I love Rudy just as much)
    I actually prefer Damien Molony to Aidan Turner in Being Human. By the end of series 3 Mitchell just annoyed the hell out of me, but I love Hal (just in case my avatar and sig don't give it away). Everyone else seems to hate him.
    Hal is fantastic! I think he's been a hit on YT anyway. You might like this...

    I agree completely about Lost. If you rewatch the show there are two main elements from the day one: the characters and the mystery. I always considered the mystery to be less important than what the island actually did to and for the people who found themselves there. The way they wrapped up all of the characters' stories in the last episode was beautiful. With a show as ambitious as Lost there were always going to be little mysteries that melted away without being addressed fully but that didn't really matter to me.

    Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this! This has made my day. The last three days have basically just been a funny video-fest for me. :lol: I love Hal. :love: "Are you sure you haven't killed me already, this feels an awful lot like hell."

    "Ah, wait, this is one of those situations where negative means positive, isn't it? Hold on, I've got this. It's really bad." That was the funniest scene in Being Human since the moment in series 2 when Mitchell and George are getting angry about the Real Hustle. :lol: Well, I thought so.

    Re: Unpopular TV Opinions
    Being Human, Misfits, The Apprentice, The Walking Dead, LOST, Friends and Doctor Who are the greatest programmes to ever exist XD

    Skins series 3 and 4 are the only good ones.
    Shameless went downhill when Monica left.
    Desperate housewives is a load of crap but I watch it for some reason :/ .
    The Big Band Theory is way overrated.
    I didn't even like Two and a Half men when Charlie Sheen was in it.
    Rudy is as good as Nathan in Misfits.
    I don't find Scrubs funny.
    Hal is just as good as Mitchell in Being Human.
    American Dad> Family Guy.
    New South Park is Boring.
    The Cleaveland Show is terrible.
    I love Phineas and Ferb

    It's gonna be very unlikely that I find someone who will agree with all of this

    Skins should have stopped after the first two series. Everything from that point onwards just taints my memory of a show that helped define my childhood.
