    The worst show has GOT to be Will & Grace. Jesus, man. There's a big difference between "amusingly gay" and "****ing obnoxious" that the makers of this program appear completely unaware of.

    Andy Milonakis is right up there, too. I figured this show was made by/for 13-year-olds and ignored it... then I learned the guy is 30!

    And can we please, PLEASE kill the Real World, RW/RR Challenge, The Inferno, and all of the other insipid MTV "reality" shows? Let's see what happens when we put 7 spoiled models in the same house together! MADNESS!! And I DEFY anyone to watch a single episode of "Meet the Barkers" without getting stupider.

    The ONE show I like on MTV is Pimp My Ride. As the owner of a terrible, piece-of-**** car, let me just tell you that opening my front door to find Xzibit would be a dream come true. I realize that the show is horribly scripted (when they open the door they're already wearing a microphone!!) but I still think it's awesome to watch how they personalize these heaps for their owners. Love it.

    I have just about every episode of this show Tivo'd. The stuff he makes is something you might actually make at home. I love how he shows you how to do things without spending thousands of dollars on equipment. Plus explaining how things work Chemically and Physically in laymans terms makes it very good TV.

    I just can't stand watching these car/motorcycle build shows anymore. American Chopper was cool at first but the characters antics are just way over the top now. Plus would would you really want to spend $50K - $100k+ on a bike or built on one of these shows. Even the stuff that Jesse James builds doesn't seem that reliable. Remember the Motorcycle mania where he built a bike to ride to Sturgis. It was a brand new bike and it blew a head bolt on the way! They always seems to take shortcuts to make their deadlines. That is not quality. It might look cool, but it won't last long. Especially on shows like Pimp My Ride. Have you ever seen them do anything with the motor? $40K in accessories, but oh yeah it's only gonna run for another 1000 miles. No thanks.

    I pretty much cant watch anything but "Arrested Development", "House", "Lost", "24" and sports now. And now that ESPN is becoming some sort of screamfest / hollywood suckfest / movie tie-in / poker channel, I am even losing interest in Sportscenter.

    I still like baseball tonight because SAS isnt on it. Yet. :rolleyes:

    Stella on Comedy Central is bad, I know they are trying to be different but it is not good at all.

    I agree with the Real World/Road Rules crap, they had thier 15 min now let them vanish.

    I do like Mythbusters too. They keep that show pretty fresh cause it's not all about the hosts. How did you get to meet Alton? Was he pretty cool? He seems like a pretty laid back guy.
