    Of the shows mentioned so far, here are the ones I've never seen a single episode of:

    Drawn Together
    American Dad
    Family Guy
    Lil Bush
    The Simpsons
    South Park
    Power Rangers
    Mind of Mencia
    House of Payne
    Ugly Betty
    Tucker
    Lou Dobbs
    Psych
    Who Wants to be a Superhero
    Human Giant
    Monk
    Burn Notice
    Desparate Housewives
    The War at Home
    Til Death

    And a few I haven't seen in years:

    Price is Right
    NBA Inside Stuff
    Survivor

    Just to clarify, it's not that I'm above watching these shows, it's just that I have an equally long list of embarrassing guilty pleasure shows (and I hate adult cartoons - give me Bugs Bunny/Roadrunner Show 7 days a week and twice on Sundays).

    Oh yeah, does anybody else feel like shooting the television everytime they hear TYLER PERRY's House of Payne? Shouldn't the show be able to stand on it's own with mentioning Tyler Perry all the freaking time?

    Why the heck would they cancel CNN? I would think 50% of people get their television news from that station. I don't see it as brainwashing, and I think in recent years they have improved the station with their special reports instead of just the straight news reports.

    I wonder how Mad Money with Jim Cramer is still on the air. The guy is a joke! He's a smart dude in his own career before the fame, but get him in front of a camera and he turns into a lunatic.

    The people requesting CNN are probably just conservatives who don't like seeing opposing points of view. In no way am I saying CNN is unbiased, but out of MSNBC, Fox, and CNN it's no contest who has the biggest agenda.

    According to Jim.

    1) Reality TV - scripted and pretty boring. Survivor, Big Brother, Date/Marry/Hump a millionaire/janitor/gorilla, super douchebag Nanny, b****wap, become a singer/dancer/model/hooker/junkie or whatever etc...All reality tv is the same crappy people acting stupid with shallow personalities and no sense of what to say or do on TV. Somebody shoot me please I HATE reality TV!

    2) Law and Order - One my favorite shows back in the day but its got a million clones and spin offs ie LAO SVU, CI, I F You. **** I cannot watch TV anymore without seeing one of these things on some channel. And what is TNT's fascination with airing full blown marathons of this show? It needs to retire. Every single crime and case imaginable has been done on this show.

    They recently canceled the Fox News ripoff of the Daily Show, the "1/2 Hour News Hour."

    Anything with Rosie O'Donnell, Ryan Seacrest, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Star Jones, Joy Behar, Barbara Walters, Carlos Mencia, or Patricia Heaton should be canceled.

    The entire prime time lineup at CNN Headline News is terrible.

    Please people stop this debate on who is better FOX, CNN, MSNBC etc...

    They all have one agenda: MAKE MONEY

    Lure suckers into watching news for hours on end so that they can make a buck from ads. Plain and simple all news networks are owned by corporations that don't give a crap about journalism. They just want to keep the investors happy.

    Flip the channel to one of these 24 News networks and the slightest minutia will become full blown off the press headlines with fancy graphics and "Breaking News ALERT" flashing all over the screen like it armageddon and the rapture just occurred. Shortly followed by some "LIVE" on the scene reporting where some sad chap talks in vague terms about the facts and then quckly fills in the blank. Pure speculation is usually the preferred fuel to engulf the news story at hand in order to capture gossip loving folks at home.

    Sad but that is the reality of what journalism has become today.

    I don't watch his show. I have seen bits and pieces in the past and don't care for him, that's why. But I guess you're trying to say some point w/ that question so why don't you say it directly? In any case I was comparing entire tv networks, not a show by show comparison.

    And actually I don't have any problem w/ people who have picked CNN here, except if your reason is it's 'brainwashing and opinionated.' Only singling out CNN for that is ridiculous.

    Because I'm very scared of you.




    I was making a joke because 90% of Lou's show is about illegal immigration.

    Ah, gotcha. Don't forget Glenn Beck (more 50% immigration, 50% Islamic terrorists)

    I think that is why he is on tv. He is a smart guy, but is nuts so people watch him. Personally, I am not a fan, but I can see the attraction of watching him talk about stocks over someone who is dull and boring.

    I like him a lot more when he talks about stocks during the day with Erin Burnett instead of on Mad Money. He is much more tame.

    Except for this...

    to be canceled (agreeing with previous posts):
    Mind of Mencia
    MTV
    Houston Astros
    Reality TV
    Fox News


    question:
    Why is there such hate for American Dad? That show is brilliant! It takes a bit to get the humor -- maybe. But seriously? Family Guy has gone downhill in direct correlation to American Dad's rise.

    King of Queens was so much better than Everyone Loves Raymond.

    Kevin James is funnier than Ray Romano (both as a comedian and a TV actor).

    The actress playing his wife is a million times hotter and slightly less b****y.

    Deacon, and the 2 closet gay friends were better than Ray's brother and his parents.
