Shows you no longer watch?

tarsmom — Sun, 25 Sep 2022 22:09:50 GMT

We no longer watch the following after watching them for quite awhile:

Dancing with the stars

The Batchelor/Batchelorette

Big Brother

Survivor

Regular ABC/NBC/CBS nightly news

Now that we're retired we watch:

Reruns! The Virginian, Gunsmoke, Leave it to Beaver (we watched the entire 400+ episodes, entire seasons of House, almost all of Everyone Loves Raymond, The Office (dumb but still funny), nature shows, dog agility, and we did the entire seasons of Dallas during covid!

We watched a special on Joan Collins last week - quite interesting and also a special birthday celebration for Norman Lear's 100th birthday - wow!

I don't like anything that's negative as there's enough of that out there!!

What are you no longer watching and what do you watch now?

Definitely do not watch any news programs. Haven't for over 2 years.

I do read the NY Times and Chicago Tribune.

I watch TCM, reruns of Law & Order (the original only), Frasier and some sports--the Laver Cup (tennis) was great; college and pro football. TV is not my first choice for entertainment.

I watch almost no television which is weird because I used to have many favorites. I watch Young Sheldon, House Hunters, Masterpiece Theater, and no old programs ! I know that many like nostalgia, but for me they were fine in their time, but now they are just dated. I stream some Netflix and Amazon programs, but not many.

Add any housewives shows to that list for me. Can't stand any of them. Love bewitched series !

I no longer watch ... Dancing With the Stars, That one I always watched by myself as my husband never cared for it.

Together we always watched "Shark Tank" but both of us lost interest in it a few seasons ago.

We now watch " FBI and FBI International. We also like Blue Bloods although I think my husband might enjoy it more than I do I wouldn't miss it too much if the show ended.

Both of us loved the new "Magnum PI" and are anxiously waiting for its return next year.

We don't share all the same taste in TV shows so he has his TV in the den and I watch the one in the livingroom. His favorite channels are the History channel and the Discovery channel and watching many of the older movies on Netflix and Prime.

My choices are the older sitcoms like "Golden Girls" and "Frasier". I also love the older shows like "Murder, she Wrote" and "Diagnosis Murder. I love a good mystery.

We are very alike in most ways but our TV reviewing takes a whole different turn. Fortunately we have TV's in different rooms so we have lots of places to watch our favorite shows.

I no longer watch network TV shows (ABC, NBC, CBS) because they're garbage. DH watches all the oldies (Andy Griffith, Superman among many others). I can't wrap my head around them any longer. I mainly watch cable news (Fox) but do enjoy Seinfeld - the show about nothing!

When The Blacklist comes back it will be without me, I haven't liked the show for many seasons, it has veered way off course. I also won't be watching CSI Vegas, I haven't warmed up to the new cast and now that Gil and Sarah are out I'm not interested anymore.

Re: Shows you no longer watch?

occasionalrain — Sun, 25 Sep 2022 23:57:01 GMT

I haven't watch the Blacklist since they included the Liz pregnancy, stopped watching Gray's Anatomy after the first couple seasons, Dancing With the Stars when it added themes and got soapy, Sheldon just lost it's appeal. I never watched Housewives, Batchelor, Love Island...

I stopped watching DWTS when they got rid of Tom B. Haven't watched The Bachelor or Bachelorette in years - so fake and a waste of time. I do watch the local news because I like to know what's going on in my area.

Re: Shows you no longer watch?

GenXmuse — Mon, 26 Sep 2022 00:10:51 GMT

I stopped watching DWTS when they fired Tom Bergeron too. I also stopped watching the Law and Order shows and most of the news.

There really isn't much on the networks that I've ever watched.

Re: Shows you no longer watch?

Spurt — Mon, 26 Sep 2022 00:34:24 GMT

I stopped watching DWTS after Tyra Banks took over and I certainly dont plan to subscribe to Disney + to pay to see it this season either......

I dont watch nor care for unfunny sitcoms, boring dramas, and talent and survival contests on ABC, CBS, NBC---🙄 I only watch NFL football and local news on regular broadcast channels ----

I watch TCM, Classic TV channels (METV, Antenna TV, Decades), The Game Show Network, PBS/Create, The NFL Network/Red Zone, Bally Sports (GO SPURS GO), Hallmark Mysteries,

I stopped watching all cable news channels, almost all the programming on HGTV (occasionally watch House Hunters International, Lottery Dream Home, and Rennovation Island.), and most of the prime time offerings on CBS, NBC, and ABC.

I enjoy The Voice, Poker Tournaments, reruns of Tarek & Christina on Flip or Flop, Seasons 1-16 of the original Law & Order, and an occasional smattering of Hallmark movies to relax my mind.

The only sports I enjoy watching are men's PGA golf and women's WTA tennis. I watch both the women and the men during Grand Slam tournaments.

Strangely, I have to have the TV on to fall asleep. I use my stash of recordings set to play automatically and continuously. My favorite sleep aids are Flip or Flop and Law & Order.

I never say never to any TV programming except for a certain news channel....but, no, I actually do, in fact, turn on that news channel from time to time to hear "their" take on events and developments. I am a chronic channel surfer....and may stop on a channel about most anything that catches my attention.

Meowingkitty — Mon, 26 Sep 2022 01:38:04 GMT

Stopped watching Dancing with the Stars when I had to pay for it and Tyra took over.

The Connors. Much to depressing and lame.

I spend most of the time watching Fox Business, Happy Days, Andy Griffith on Pluto and Frazier on Cozi.

Re: Shows you no longer watch?

Lucky Charm — Mon, 26 Sep 2022 02:00:26 GMT

All the Housewives shows when Teresa flipped the table. Lame. So there's many franchises I never saw. Boo Hoo.

Stopped watching Grey's when Heigle character marries a patient, who dies and she spend the entire episode on the floor crying. What a waste of my time.....

That's all I can think of.

Re: Shows you no longer watch?

qvcfreak — Mon, 26 Sep 2022 02:40:50 GMT

For me it’s DWTS, The Rookie, Masked Singer, 911 and 911 Lonestar

Like most of us, no longer watch DWTS. I limit the news, just enough to be aware but not despondent.

We don't find much on TV appealing. Britbox has Judi Dench and Mrs. Bouquet that is sometimes watched. Our main entertainment is old classic movies (i.e.,The Wizard of OZ) or lots of documentaries or a few favs (Matrix, all of M. Night Shyamalan and Christopher Nolan's films, Hobit, Harry Potter, Magical Egypt series, The Universe or Cosmos series - Neil deGrasse Tyson amazing narrator-, etc), which we watch on DVDs. Sometimes we find a treasure on the History channel, but mainly we rely on the DVD collection.

No longer watch Blacklist, NCIS, Chicago PD. Still watch the Chicago Med & Fire, though.

Doubtful I will keep watching Sheldon, since the cast changes are coming.

Love re-runs of Frasier, Food & Cooking channel shows, Smitsonian and History channels.

Anything with Sir David Attenborough narrating, even if I've seen it before.
