Memories of my childhood hated shows

Fish, Taxi

60 Minutes, because it competed with my beloved Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries and getting to see my crush Shaun Cassidy. My brother some how convinced my parents that he had to watch 60 Minutes for school, but I think it was all a ruse to spite me. He had a crush on David, so you think he would have been sympathetic for me to get my jones on with Shaun.

Barney Miller

M*A*S*H*

The Waltons

The Lawrence Welk Show

The Price is Right

Hogan's Heroes (always on in reruns in the 70s)

My Three Sons (ditto)

Petticoat Junction (ditto)

Really liked Newhart and Barney Miller. M*A*S*H and Little House, not so much.

The Beverly Hillbilles

Gilligan's Island

Cocksuckers

The Facts of Life, The Love Boat

One Day at a Time

My parents loved MASH, Barney Miller and Taxi. I never thought they were funny. I still don't.

Meanwhile, they had no time for the Mary Tyler Moore Show, Bob Newhart or Soap. I loved them then, I love them now.

My dad and I did like to watch Cheers, The Greatest American Hero and WKRP together. We still remind each other each November to watch the Thanksgiving episode of Cheers that ends in a food fight.

Fucking Jem

Mr Rogers Neighborhood. I remember telling my mom how I thought he was a pedophile. I was like 5 yrs old at the time.

Full House

Star Trek

Waltons

Perfect Strangers

Love Boat

Hogan’s Heroes - who in the fuck thought slapstick Nazis was a good idea?

Step By Step and Full House. Both of those shows were a bore. Family Matters was and hardly better. Give more Sabrina The Teenage Witch!

I used to like Hogan's Heroes when I was a boy but now it seems like the most bizarre premise for a TV sitcom ever. What were the adults who had gone through the war thinking?

I always mix up Hogan's Heroes with The Hogan Family -- totally different shows! 😂

How could anyone hate Barney Miller?

A kid who watched Barney Miller or Newhart? 😂

Mr Rogers. I always thought it was so boring.

Mash, Fish, Taxi, Mr. Rogers, Sesame Place, Fat Albert, The Cosby Show

The Love Connection 🤮, Wheel of Fortune -- always sensed that Chuck Woolery and Pat Sajack were cunts in real life

Taika Waititi

How can you mention The Love Boat without it’s next hour buddy, Fantasy Island?

I would watch those shows each week with my grandmother. And then when she went to bed, I would stay up a bit later and try to understand just WTF Benny Hill was about.

I hated Gilligan , and the Waltons. Does anyone here remember Sea Hunt and Ripcord?

I couldn't stand watching Green Acres. I felt so sorry for Lisa having to give up Park Avenue for life on that horrid farm, sometimes I'd cry.

I didn't like Barney Miller, MASH, or Taxi because the sets were so dreary and drab, and the casts were ugly (Mary!).

I felt sorry for her having to give up Times Square. When it was still Times Square. Who wants to live on a farm when they could have been going to Broadway?

Agreed R27. The premise that Hawkeye was supposed to be some sex God was laughable. Such a horribly fugly cast.

Weird thread title. Written by Yoda? Anyway, this is about tv shows we hated? Alright then... Bonanza, F Troop, Big Valley, Wonderful World of Disney, Lost in Space, Lassie, Bat Masterson, Star Trek

But I loved Perry Mason, Jeopardy, Rocky and Bullwinkle, David Suskind (I was a weird kid), Outer Limits...

Hee-Haw gave me the creeps. It was obviously bad, but lots of shows in those days had dumb humor. Hee-Haw was... different. Something was just OFF about it. Coked-up men acting like brain-damaged 10 year olds; ugly, loud women with strange hair and poor boundaries; non-stop canned laughter; distressed-looking barn animals. I would not be surprised to find out they were all part of a satanic pedophilia / zoophilia cult.

All the shows my older brother loved I couldn't stand- Hogans Heros, ,Mission Impossible, Barney Miller.

Gomer Pyle, UMC

F-Troop

Hogan's Heroes

Room 222

I hated everything on ABC. The colors were not as vibrant as CBS; the actors were not as attractive; the writing seemed amateurish even to my childhood self.

The only thing I liked on NBC was Laugh-In, even though I didn’t get it. I watched CBS almost exclusively.

Alas, we were too poor for TV, and my father and mother boozed all the money away from his job sifting garbage for useable salvage items, like Clorox bottles and tab tops. Iowa had no stations that carried to the little country town where our hovel was located. More of a dugout, or burrow, really. But I had the voles and earthworms to play with.

Sanford and Son Beverly Hillbillies Gomer effin Pyle Hee Haw Jackie Gleason show I Love Lucy..

for starters

Streets of San Francisco - the clothes were cheap and Illfitting.

Canon/McCloud - the fat voice and the croak voice

R27, certainly Fish and Yemana were fug, but Wojo had a very appealing big beef quality.

I hated Zoom and that stupid zoom language, ubby wubby fubboo chubby bullshit.

I read all of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books (Mary!) and was thoroughly disappointed by "Little House on the Prairie." Especially Michael Landon as "Pa" 🙁. Why the hell did he have long, flowing hair like that?

The only character who I liked sometimes was maybe the guy who ran the store and Nellie Oleson.

When "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" came along, that was more like what I imagined "Little House" should have been like. Even though there were tons of long, flowing hair from men and women alike.

MASH was ok in the beginning with Col. Potter. Like many shows it went to shit and became an Alan Alda vanity piece.

Mr Rogers Neighborhood. I remember telling my mom how I thought he was a pedophile. I was like 5 yrs old at the time.

Mmmmmm Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

The Andy Griffith Show

I loved bob newhart and loved Barney Miller

Laugh-In. Couldn't stand it; never thought it was funny.

SO glad to see MASH appearing here. Self-congratulatory bullshit, and Alan Alda always has repulsed me.

Sanford & Son

Mayberry RFD

McHale's Navy

The Man from U N C L E

Get Smart (I'm probably in the minority with this one)

Mr. Ed

South Park because it’s tired.

They say people from sensitive, loving families were sensitive to Mr. Rogers and appreciated it more.

People from more aggressive , insensitive families thought Mr. Rogers was boring weirdo.

Mr. Rogers cared.

Here's he speech that secured the funding for his show.

He simply cared about children. No incidents have ever been reported.

DATE WITH DEL .

Mr Rogers was boring. I stabbed my mom in the back with a butcher knife when I was 3 years old.
