All of the DC "Legends of Tomorrow" shows, like "The Flash" and "Supergirl". They're like live-action productions of "Robot Chicken" episodes by high school students who don't realise that "Robot Chicken" is intended to be funny.
An actual example of dialogue: "I love a man who knows how to handle a gun." / "Then you should see my NERF collection."

Supergirl's boss is Ally McBeal.
Trying to give it a chance, but that last episode had action even worse than the clumsiest of Heroes' action sequences. Seriously speaking, Supergirl punches like a... girl. And she's supposed to be in training?
I think the "secret identity" side of the story works better, but this is definitely lowbrow super-stuff.

Another entry: "The Librarians". It's a TV spin-off of a series of direct-to-DVD Indiana Jones knock-offs featuring the usual team of generic "specialists" like adorable geeks and brooding punchers. This is the series that cast Shakespeare's Prospero as a villain, thus proving that they have bever actually read any of their supposed source material (at least not beyond the first page).
I get the sense that DC is over-compensating for the success of Marvel.

It's the same with "Suits" - everyone is a complete and utter arse.

"How I Met Your Mother" - Honestly, it baffles me how anyone likes this. It's corny, cheesey, cringey and downright unfunny. There aren't many shows I absolutely insist on not watching...but this is one of them. As far as bottom-of-the-barrel comedy goes, HIMYM is right at the top.

It has its moments. The show got lost in some of the middle seasons, got better again along the way... and a lot of us hung around for the ending just to see what would happen. The last episode was either "meh" or a "royal suckfest" depending on who you ask.

Most everything Nick did post-late run Victorious.
There's also a special place in Hell for whoever greenlit Zoey 101.

Just checked the plot summary.
Looks like they tried to make a gender swapped, kiddie version of Prision School. (or maybe it was the other way around
)

I think the next episode is the series finale actually.
1 Show I hate is the Game Show, Who Wants to be a Millionaire: Hotseat. The original format was basic and somewhat enjoyable but the Hotseat format is just a bunch convulated 🤬, there is no more intensity with the questions and getting the answer right as at least 1 person will win it, and the idea of passing it to someone else totally makes the game feel unfair.
Worst part, is that we have to hear 6 different backstories for each of the contestants in 1 episode. 1 was fine but 6 is too brutal and with no question intensity I just don't care about anyone.

At least it's a format that rewards knowledge or skill rather than dumb luck.

Yeah, because being the one to answer the money making question is really based off skill and knowledge
.A US show that I keep seeing on Dave at the minute, American Pickers. I really do not understand the allure. I mean it's not outright bad but the couple of times I've spent a few minutes watching it the entire premise seems to be "Two men go to places and buy old things. The end".

How'd You Get So Rich?
As near as I can tell, Joan Rivers lurks outside upscale boutiques and accosts unsuspecting shoppers, demanding to know how they made their fortune. Naturally, they're all to happy to brag about it (and drop as many names as they can). Rivers then picks one and explores their life, subtly dumping on them at every opportunity. As the show progresses, the jabs get more and more pronounced, but the guests do not notice and instead lap up the attention. The humour is cheap and forced, and drowned out by the self-congratulatory tone of the guests. It feels like it started out as an entirely different show - Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous with Vladimir Lenin and Fidel Castro - before devolving into even more of a wreck than it originally was.

I think you're in the wrong thread. Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank would be Partridge dreamt Gold. Here, I've got the proof.
Tell me you don't want that.

I was really disappointed by Suits. The first episode set up an interesting plot, a drug dealer accidentally getting a job at a law firm, but they just... ignored all the interesting plot lines they could have used, and just churned out pretentious crap.
Not a fan 👎

Literally this was the reason why I stopped watching it. My friend recommend it and in saying so he said the things which you said which encouraged me to start watching it.
I couldn't bare to watch it after the 3rd episode. It just felt repetitive and long winded. But I have seen worse so I can't really complain.

It's pretty hard to care about anyone when all of the main characters are arrogant one-percenters and live in a world where winning a case means that you're morally right, even when you win by morally questionable means.
Ah, you missed the best part! In the fourth episode, a Midland MF1 is presented as the benchmark performer in motorsport.

Damn! Guess it escalates quickly, I shall resume it on Netflix later.

No, it's still terrible. It's the most unintentionally hilarious moment in television, given that the MF1 was so horrible - and here it is, misrepresented as the class act years later when the current crop of GP2 Series cars are (probably) quicker.Damn! Guess it escalates quickly, I shall resume it on Netflix later.
I don't mind American Pickers. I like the little history lessons about the stuff they "find." I also think the two main guys on the show are pretty like-able ftmp. The burlesque dancer tattoo chick they have running the shop is annoying though. Far from the worst show afaic...
2 Broke Girls otoh is much closer to the worst! What a steaming pile of a show. Unbearably obnoxious.

A comedy that isn't funny. None of the characters are interesting or relatable - they're all horrible people with no awareness of the world beyond their own shallow existence. The whole thing feels like an attempt by somebody dramatising their own life (which it is) but struggling to make themselves out to be more interesting than they actually are.
