Name a popular TV show you have never watched.

[sundog]

You know, one of those shows everyone discusses & you don't have a clue what they're talking about.

Looking at Dookus' post, I just realized I have never watched "The West Wing." Not once. Not out of dislike or anything... I just haven't.

Same with "Law & Order."

[flamingyouth]

1. Everybody Loves Raymond

Except me, apparently.:shrug:

[TrustingDog]

32. saw an episode last night for the first time...

I sure don't know what the fuss is about. Wooden people with stupid predictable lines... very very dull.

[Catfight]

42. Ditto, and "Law and Order," and "Fraiser." n/t

[KurtNYC]

2. Friends, Lost, American Idol

[Chico Man]

3. Desperate Housewives

[rbnyc]

39. me neither (nt)

[Chico Man]

46. Athough the topic certainly interests me :)

:loveya:

[terrya]

4. I have never, I'm proud to say, seen one episode of "Fear Factor"

Not one.

[Joe Power]

5. So many...

The West Wing
Desperate Houswives
All of the "reality shows" except for Cops
I watched exactly two episodes of both Friends and Raymond.

Thank goodness for Food TV, Discovery, HBO and the History Channel.

[Richardo]

6. CSI, Law & Order, ...

...any reality show* (which I actively avoid on principle.)

* Like Joe Power, however, I DO watch 'COPS'. :eyes:

[liberal N proud]

7. Reality TV

Anything with Reality.
I watch TV to escape that crap.

[skypilot]

8. "Desperate Housewives"

Although, I must confess that I'm starting to get kinda curious. Unfortunately, I have no idea what night it's on. Or what channel.

[grace0418]

43. Me neither

doesn't seem that interesting to me though.

[XNASA]

9. I've never watched an entire episode of "The West Wing" either.

:shrug:

[fluffernutter]

53. me either.

[leftofthedial]

10. Friends

The West Wing

pretty much all of them

Until recently, I never watched TV

[nickinSTL]

11. Desperate Housewives, the Sopranos

and most series exclusively on cable.

[Cush]

12. too may to list

[Goddess Nephthis]

13. One more vote for "The West Wing."

Another is "Alias," even though I consider Jennifer Gardner one of the hottest babes alive. Same with "Lost." Oh yeah, I have yet to see any of the "CSI" shows. These are multiplying aren't they. What is next, "CSI: Chattanooga?" "CSI: Billings, Montana?"

[Left Is Write]

14. I have never watched...

The West Wing
Law & Order
Scrubs (I started an episode, but only got five minutes in)
The O.C.
Lost
Survivor
The Apprentice
Almost all other reality shows
The Sopranos
Sex And The City
24
Alias
E.R.
CSI
Desperate Housewives
NYPD Blue

and a host of others I can't think of right now.

[tjwash]

15. [insert any shitcom name here]

I hate TV.:hurts:

[babylonsister]

16. "Alias" I just don't want to get hooked. nt

[Patiod]

36. Unfortunately, Alias is like a religious experience in our house

Everything has to be just right - all chores done (no ironing in front of TV, no doing mailings), lights dimmed, meal eaten, wine poured. I find the show mildly amusing - something to have on in the background maybe - but for the S.O., it's the peak of his week, and one of the few things that make him really happy, so WTF.

Our Lady of Perpetual Peril - Orthodox.

[cags]

17. I've never seen West Wing either

[Ian David]

19. The Daily Show

Just kidding!

[MissB]

23. LOL!

I was ready to pounce...........

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

18. "Joey," although it no longer qualifies as "popular"

Any press I have seen on this show lately is along the "how can we re-tool it and keep it on the air" lines.

Too many interviews with LeBlanc prior to the show's airing in which he whined about how he wasn't going to get paid as much as "Friends," while he posed in front of his stable of Porsches. Hey, Matt, people are sleeping under overpasses. Be grateful for what you have, bee-yatch.

Plus, I got a lifetime supply of Drea DeMatteo on "The Sopranos."

This show had nothing going for it other than a fix for "Friends" fans who couldn't let go.

[jswordy]

20. Almost all of them.

I watch 4 shows, all cable programming, and lots of the SPEED channel's programming.

The 4 shows:

The Daily Show
American Hot Rod
Southern Steel

and sometimes

American Chopper


American Chopper qualifies as a popular TV show nowadays. I watch it least of the 4, almost rarely now.

[GiovanniC]

21. Nip/Tuck, Sopranos, Desperate Housewives, Lost, Alias, The OC

and many more.

[AlCzervik]

22. The apprentice, any CSI shows, ER and most sitcoms on CBS

and abc.

[kmla]

24. Law and Order. The 'X' Files. ER. American Idol.

Joey.
The Great Race.
The Bachelor.
The Apprentice.
The Bachelorette.

Any 'Survivor' past the original series finale. (My wife forced me.)

Boston Legal.

I could go on. But I won't.

[WateryHands]

25. Desperate Housewives, 24

[On the Road]

26. Almost All of Them

It's easier to name the ones I have seen. I've seen a lot of The Simpsons. Some "American Idol" and two "Desperate Housewives" with my daughter.

Never seen Survivor, Lost, Alias, or any current drama or sitcom that I can think of.

[charlyvi]

27. Desperate Housewives, Survivor.

[Fifth of Five]

28. Lost,

Desperate Housewives
Fear Factor
The Apprentice
CSI (any version)
etc.

[loudestchick]

29. "24", Joey, anything on cable (except L word)

[fishwax]

30. Survivor

saw the first episode, haven't watched any of it since. Same with most other reality TV programs, though I do like things like Last Comic Standing and Animal Planet's King of the Jungle (the 1st season, anyway), which seem different from Fear Factor/American Idol type reality programming to me.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

31. I haven't watched any sitcom for about ten years

and I've never seen any of the reality shows. They don't even sound interesting.

I watched Who Wants to Be a Millionaire once, because an acquaintance was on it. That's it.

[Eurobabe]

33. Friends

[ernstbass]

34. I don't watch sitcoms

nor have i viewed West Wing, Lost, or Desperate Houswives or any of those Law and Order shows.

[AllyCat]

35. Easier to say what I have watched:

1) Buffy the Vampire Slayer (don't know if that's popular though)
2) 24
3) Everybody Loves Raymond (because my fiance watches it)

[Byronic]

37. 24

Have never watched it. I meant to, missed the first one, and have never caught an episode since.

My loss it seems.

[Patiod]

38. Haven't seen most of what's on cable, since we don't have it

Never saw a whole episode of "Sex in the City". As far as olden-days popular shows, I never watched Beverly Hills 90210, Dynasty, Dalls, or Party of Five

Not dissing cable, because when I was traveling a lot last year I was lucky enough to catch "Angels in America" and a bunch of "Carnivale" and one or two of that profane HBO Western, which was kind of enjoyable. Caught the Sopranos once in a while in my hotel, and Pet Emergency Police (or whatever it's called) on Animal Planet is usually on in the gym.

[sugarmags]

40. Alias

Never have seen it, but they say that it's good. Also Nip/Tuck, that recently won a golden globe (I think). I guess if I owned at Tivo I could watch everything, but I'm glad that I don't. I'd never be here at DU then.

[LibertyLover]

41. So many shows, so little time

Well, let's see:

Seinfeld
24
Everybody Loves Raymond
Law & Order
West Wing
Bored Housewives (or whatever it's called)
American Idol and it's ilk
Fear Factor
CSI Miami, New York, Toledo, Topeaka, Santa Fe or whatever

It's not that I don't like television, it's just that I have so little time to read since I am out of the house 12 hours a day between work and commuting and have a toddler. So spare time is at a premium and I prefer to read. Having said that - darn I really like NCIS - especially the character of Abby played by Pauley Perrette and Ducky played by David McCallum (old "Man from U.N.C.L.E. fan here).

[DainBramaged]

44. Most, except all the CSI's and Law and Order

I watch them in rerun heaven every night now.

The rest of the popular TV shows just suck donkey balls.

[grace0418]

45. I'm glad no one said Arrested Development yet

because if you haven't seen it, you should. I think it's one of the funniest shows ever.

[progressoid]

47. The Apprentice

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

48. Sex in the City

on any other popular HBO tv shows. I don't have cable.

[barb162]

49. seinfeld

[kick-ass-bob]

50. Arrested Development.

But I don't watch much TV at all...

[despairing optimist]

51. Seinfeld, Friends, Cheers

And those are only the most recent ones. I think I stopped watching TV regularly in the days of the Beverly Hillbillies and Hogan's Heroes. The Internet is much more engaging.

Who else has never watched even one episode of Seinfeld?

[Wisc Badger]

52. Friends, West Wing,, E. R.

[WMliberal]

54. pretty much everything on now... CSI, Law & Order, ALL of reality TV,

anything on MTV, Lost, Desparate Housewives.

I watch nerdy teevee: old movies, History Channel, Food Network, TDS, South Park, CNN, PBS.

[Bullwinkle925]

55. "West Wing", "The Apprentice",

[Nailzberg]

56. Sopranos, Six Feet Under, The OC, Practice/Boston Legal, NYPD Blue

I haven't watched "West Wing" since Sorkin left, either.

On the flipside, I have never missed "The Shield", "24", and now "Desperate Housewives".

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

57. Sopranos, The OC

i've never watched them even once...

[Balbus]

58. If it's a popular show on network tv...

Then I don't watch it. Not that I have anything against the networks, it's just that my TV-watching time is not compatible with "prime-time."

Now, I will admit that I'm shamefully addicted to the reality shows on MTV and VH1. But they show each episode about 5 or 6 times during the week at all hours so it's easy to catch up on those.

[tjwmason]

59. Eastenders

One of the two leading British soaps, people at work will make reference to leading characters and I will sit there looking bemused; I've seen a couple of Coronation Street episodes (the other major one).

Also Pop Idol, and it's many spin-offs and variants.
