Good TV is good (that's you, Glee). Sometimes bad TV is good (that's you, Desperate Housewives). But annoying crap on TV, that is just wrong. And there is lots and lots of crap going around...
1- The stupid morons at our beloved Canadian television network CTV; it is 7.30 PM, we are halfway through the Jann Arden Free special running from 7 to 8 PM, and you dingbats run a commercial for what? Jann Arden Free tonight at seven... WE'RE ALREADY WATCHING THAT, YOU MORONS!
2- The stupid first-time home buyers on Property Virgins with peanuts to spend on their first home who whine when they don't get five bedrooms and four bathrooms and huge backyards and granite everything and swimming pools and every other amenity your mommy and daddy had. You should have seen my first place, it was sized for a smurf. I don't have the patience for you morons.
3- Fox News.
4- The beautiful skinny people on Brothers and Sisters who drive beautiful cars and live in big fancy houses and have all this free time because they apparently have no jobs to pay for their beautiful cars and big fancy houses. Yes I still watch this show. No I don't know why.
5- "Teen activist" Bristol Palin, currently competing on Dancing With the Stars. Bristol is a "Star" because she got knocked up at seventeen, and her Mom is a semi-celebrity semi-politician. And this week the younger Palin admits she forgot to vote in last week's midterm elections. I guess the votes on Dancing With The Stars are the only ones that really matter, huh Bristol?
6-Nameless sleeping canines who fall asleep on top of the remote control, and as they dream and snore and shift adjust the TV volume. Aaaargh!
7- Jennifer Grey whining.
8- The numbnuts producers of Bones. who released season 5 on DVD in October, weeks after the Sept 23 premiere. Isn't the DVD set so people can catch up and to promote the new season? You know, we have other options, we could all be watching Undercovers...
9- Okay we aren't watching Undercovers, cuz it is gone already. Which is good, it kinda blew. A lame attempt to recapture the charm of Hart to Hart without the charm of Hart to Hart. This was the most expensive pilot ever? Boring....

I have to say I love Glee and Desperate Housewives and Hart to Hart. But the others I do not watch.

I've stopped watching DWTS since it's obvious all Bristol's mom's ignorant followers are the ones keeping that cow on the show.
Do love Des HW & Glee!
Bristol Palin. Don't even get me started on her and her mom.
I could not agree more about property virgins! Those poor babies who can't have a 3 car garage and 4 bedrooms for your first house. The only thing worse for me is House Hunters (or the ultimate House Hunters International) where seemingly undeserving people have far too much money to blow on mcmansions.
I get so annoyed when these buyers are looking at a house and step into the kitchen of an older home and without fail say: "This is in complete need of a total renovation." I remember when people kept their appliances as long as possible and didn't junk their appliances for the latest trend. And I am in complete agreement with Aaron's comment about spoiled people on House Hunters Int'l. These poor people who can't bear the cold and buy a vacation home in an exotic foreign place, working with a million dollar budget.
I abosolutely love that you have a seemingly never ending supply of 'stuff that annoys the crap out of you' - it always makes me laugh when another post comes out! And as always, I can't help but agree with every point...!
Oh Annie, I am just getting warmed up... there is a lot of annoying crap out there! Do you get these shows over in the UK?
We watch HGTV all the time, and sometimes, often actually, I think "what the hell is wrong with these people?"
And all the Palins should just go back to the woods of Alaska and stay there!
I hate HGTV about as much as I hate MTV. Neither of which I can escape. Love Glee, losing interest in Grey's, annoyed by Bones... There's still Glee!
LOL! TV is an endless source of annoyance. I've never seen any of the shows you mentioned (not living in North America), but I feel as if I know everything I need to know about them.
I think we should just cancel cable and get rid of all of these annoyances. Problem solved. Then, we can use the money to pay for our new home (third purchase for each of us) where we are finally getting those items the people on Property Virgins want in their first homes for a price of less than $500,000.
