That is one show that is extremely popular that I have never had any interest in watching. What are some popular shows that everyone seemed to love that you never cared to even give it a chance?

Lost. Maybe because I didn't find out about it until near its end, but I rebelled against the obsession.

The Wire. I tried and I couldn't get past the 2nd episode. Maybe I just didn't pay attention enough to understand the big deal but I just couldn't get into it.

Burn Notice appears to have a big following. I didn't make it through the 2nd episode on Netflix.

Big Bang Theory. Can never take more than a minute.

Just seems to be a show by non-nerds for non-nerds that makes fun of nerds.

Game of thrones, a story set in a fantasy world with lots of cameo dong appearances. No thanks.

Any of the CSI's. Just don't care for the boring crime shows and their lame puns while solving stuff.

Mad Men. And Got doesn't hang as much dong any more than any other HBO program. You've probably watched that south park episode and formed your opinion off of it.

I'll second Man Men. I've tried watching that show several times, and it puts me to sleep every time.

Let me add Grey's Anatomy as well

I'll second Grey's Anatomy. And I've enjoyed doctor shows.

Loved House, Scrubs, even E.R. back in the day.

Sorpranos. And I agree about Game of Thrones, I've half heartily watched the series, but I don't see the obsession (other than the midget, he's awesome).

Seeing House reminds me to add it to the list. Every episode is some illness with a strange symptom. The team makes a textbook diagnosis. House disagrees and tries something radical saving the life of the sick patient.

Third Mad Men. It's like The English Patient the TV show for me, instant Ambien. I noticed I don't watch any sitcom with a laugh track or audience, and when I do it's seems weird to me now. I haven't watched any Law and Order, SVU,STD,NCIS,CSI,INXS. I also loathe all reality TV shows especially if it involves poor or rich rednecks. I will watch a reality show based on food competition though.

If you want a funny show about nerds, look up The IT Crowd.

It picks on nerds but the nerds also pick back since most people don't know **** about computers.

Watched the first two seasons of Breaking Bad, but never got hooked. Never had a desire to watch Mad Men either. I'm a big fan of the other two AMC shows in Walking Dead and Hell on Wheels, though. I've also never been a big Seinfeld or Friends fan.

You're the first person I've met who put that much time into breaking bad and didn't get hooked. I don't know how many times I've watched thru it. If if nothing good is on tv I instantly put breaking bad on

Yea, I know of one other person that just couldn't get into it, but I'm definitely in the minority. I may still go back and watch it at some point, though.

MadMen. I gave it half a season. Seemed slow as hell.
2 1/2 Men and Two Broke Girls. 2 1/2 men is ok but nothing I'd go out of my way to watch. Two Broke Girls is terrible as far as I can tell from the one or two shows I've caught.

I watched about 5 minutes of Two Broke Girls when it first came on because I liked Kat Dennings in the one movie she was in that I saw. It was unbearable. No matter how hot the two broke girls are.

I'll second The Office. My brothers think it's the best show on TV, so I had to give it a chance. I watched around 3 different episodes and I just couldn't get in to it.

Duck Dynasty - I've tried to watch it a few times, but probably haven't seen 30 minutes total in my life.

My girlfriend. When I had a roommate we watched it all the time and she'd leave the room. And it's not that she has ****** girl taste, she has a very good taste in shows and film, except that she hates A.D. and likes true blood
