It's fucking ridiculous how they can crank up the syrup knob so that the syrup is pouring from my stereos during every single program!
Loot at American Idol! Every contestant acts like if they won't win this they will fucking die! I mean seriously, I know that Americans are easy to fool with some crocodile tears and a touchy story how your father beat you when you were ten and this is a revenge for him, but it doesn't cut the cake for me. All I see is a pathetic little insect who would fuck Randy Jackson in the ass just to get that golden ticket.
The Hollywood stage is the worst of them all. Everyone are crying and weeping in the corners and the inappropriate piano guy is playing the depressing tunes once again.
And oh my fucking god if the Americas favourite drops out from the show. Jesus christ, is there anything more sad than this?! Piano music, violins, tears, slow motion, flashbacks, WHAT THE FUCK!? Am I watching a fucking funeral or a singing competition?
Other good example is the American Inventor. Oh boy.....the lengths that an American will go.....
They bring in the most bizarre and stupid "inventions" that you can imagine and then they look like a deer caught in the headlights of a truck when they get shot down and told that they are fucking stupid.
Of course you can always count on the American television that they'll make the judges look like total pricks and make the dumb fuck who "invented" a wheel. Oh fuck here comes the choir and the piano!! "They told me that I was stupid and go home and think of the stupid shit I've done" PITY ME!!! PITY ME!!!
Then they are put to this completely white room with a camera and told to put on a show. "You ain't heard the last of me! YOU DID A MISTAKE! ALL OF THE WORLD WILL KNOW MY NAME!"
Yeah yeah, tell your story walking and get fucked.
L.A Ink is a good example also. I love to watch tattoo programs, because I can't pass out a good looking tattoo. Fucked up thing is that I have to watch the show muted. The background stories are so fucking pathetic. Not saying that they're making them up or anything, I'm sure that some of them have gone through a rough road, but rest assured that the fucking piano guy is there to make the whole scene look pathetic as hell.
*Depressing tunes* "I was a crack whore most of my teenage years, but now I've been clean for 10 minutes and decided to take this tattoo to remind me how strong I am." *Depressing tunes*
Do people watch that show because they want to see nice tattoos being done or listen to the customers's pathetic and boring stories? I think the first on is the winner here.
Don't get me started on the infomercials. THE AB-DOER TWIST WILL FUCKING BLOW YOUR GOD DAMN MIND YOU FATASS!
Then there are a bunch of fat fucks who can't get their ass up from the couch crying about how they've been fat all their lifes and nothing have worked UNTIL THE AB-DOER TWIST WAS INVENTED!! Holy FUCK how the fat is burning!
I can't really see the connection between all these work out machines that are supposed to make you slim just by standing next to them and the fact that fat people are fucking lazy and uncapable of exercising before the first bypass surgery.
Fucking great work out machine infomercial = Fat people start being active.
It works like this:
Fucking great work out machine infomercial = Fat people change the channel.
At least we don't put soap operas in primetime slots.

My largest problem with any of these things are the shows that take a completely uninteresting, bleak and boring issue and try to squeeze some interest into it by adding dramatic music and "oh-god did-something-happen" moments to everything. Case in point, Ice Road Truckers and the multitude of fishing shows.

Ice Road Truckers I can understand because the line of work they've taken is full of surprises, but what I don't understand that shows like Top Chef and MasterChef are turned into Bold & Beautiful. Only thing that is missing is Ridge Forresters fucking massive face.
I miss when Iron Chef had actual asians.

That show is just hilarious. UK version especially.
I just couldn't have said it better myself.
About LA ink.
Whenever it's running on tv and we're watching it, my mom often watches as well or atleast listen to it from the other room.
After only a few programs she would leave a comment now and then as she passes by.
"So who died this time?"
Which is basically the best comment ever.
Pretty much sums up the show.
Shut the fuck up General Hospital's my show man

How else do you expect them to make money.
It's what sells. You're only giving them more money by watching LA Ink, regardless of whether it's muted or not.

Fuck I mean't to disagree :v:
why are you being a bigot towards americans
And this is why I don't watch TV.
Jersey Shore, Bad Girls Club, I Love Money, The Bachelor...
The list goes on and on.
There's also a ton of good american tv shows. I can make a list of awful people in european history or I can make a list of great ones. Making a list of the worst things isn't representational of a whole.

Also this. House? American TV show. LOST? American. The Walking Dead? American TV show based off of an American comic. That list goes on as well.

And making a list of the best things isn't representational of a whole. Well done regurgitating your stupid logic that means nobody can complain.

Pawn Stars.
Proof that reality television doesn't need over-dramatic bullshit to be awesome.
op caught the drama from watching shitty tv

I remember on holiday in Italy, we caught a glimpse of this show with an old guy who looked a bit like the guy with ice cream or whatver all over his dick, and he was called spaghettio annd girls from the audience were called up and dared to get off with him. Some of the funniest/weirdest tv i've ever watched.
Atleast I think that's what it's all about, it was in italian after all

[QUOTE=DOG-GY;28246806]wow holy shit way to misunderstand everything ever posted[/QUOTE]
Yeah, no kidding
They're called Soap Operas because soap companies would advertise to the women all day when they watched the shows.
That's just a random irrelevant tidbit I learned, so I figured that I'd tell people about it while on the subject of dramatic TV shows.
Gotta watch the premium stuff. Weeds, The Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development etc. There are few good basic cable tv shows, in my opinion (Always Sunny is an exception. Brilliant show)
