Well the last one, on music started a reaction, didn't it?! and some class rants too!!
Lets have another, again, any era, 60s to date and programmes which are/were popular but you just don't get...
Heres a few of mine, for starters,
The Office. Not a big Gervais fan, but I do appreciate what he was trying to do here, satirise fly on the wall docu soaps, but, somehow I didn't think it worked, to me it wasn't funny
Friends. Just crap IMO
The X Factor. Don't get me started on this rubbish....
Bake Off. Don't get this at all, baking cakes, like big wow!
The A Team/Dukes of Hazzard. Bracket these together as childish rubbish
Anything on ITV presented by Cilla Black. She was OK as a singer in the 60s, but her later career was awful.
Dr Who. Don't get this either, some of the early ones in the 2000s revival were OK with Christopher Eccleston buy not keen
Brookside. Depressing, sensationalistic crap
Big Brother. Started as a social experiment, degenerated into a kind of 18th century freak show
Will let you have more in a bit

Downton Abbey looks like rubbish, although I have never seen it.

Not sure how popular it is but a show I find really tedious is The Million Pound Drop, the questions are banal, all the contestants are alike, nobody ever wins £1,000,000 & there's just no atmosphere or suspense. Graham Norton Show- he arse licks the stars & sneers at the public. New Tricks- Dennis, what happened? Sherlock Downton Abbey- like a 1 hour Ferrero Rocher ad. Embarrassing Bodies & every other show of its type- "I'm too embarrassed to see my GP, I know I'll show millions of people my infected anus". Anything with Keith Lemon- I though parts of 'Bo Selecta' were funny but this character is diabolical. Bake Off, Masterchef, etc.- when did cooking become a competition? The Cube I could go on forever.

This is probably going to make me unpopular but apart from the usual suspects (everything pretty much these days) I'm just not a fan of (can't believe I'm going to write this) Only Fools And Horses or Fawlty Towers. There, I've said it. Never really got into those series. Farce is not my thing and OFAH is overrated. Goodbye

I never understand why people like Dads Army so much. It's ok but I don't find it very funny. Also never understood the appeal of Morecambe and Wise.

However, Steve, I do enjoy Only Fools & Horses and Fawlty Towers - not so controversial there.

Anything on Channel 5 about people on benefits
Jeremy Kyle - Wrong, just wrong
That bloody awful sitcom with Ronnie Corbett, Sorry. Utterly dreadful
