Movies:
Twilight...(Once upon a time there was an interesting action and comedy packed concept called "Buffy the vampire slayer" why the hell would I want to pay money for a teenage vampire flick series with all the fun stuff sucked out of it?)

TV. I saw the first 2 eps but now refuse to watch Grey's Anatomy. The characters are all narcissitic or boring and the stories are sensationalistic...I can see that on news reports that don't go for as long.
have gone off Housewives and Lost. Have no connection to any of the characters and the stories are far fetched rather than creative.

Sex and the City, which seems to be the universal choice.

Was able to avoid West Wing for however long it's been on.
Any Alec Baldwin work after 2000, when he broke his promise.

There have been many lists on here for movies and TV shows that we like to watch. But what I want to know is which ones will you absolutely refuse to watch. The type of show where you've never seen a full episode (a few minutes here or there doesn't count) and never will. Or a movie that will make you immediately change channel or if your stuck on a plane you'll listen to music, read, fall asleep or something.

There are only two real rules to this:
1. The show or film must have some kind of popularity or fanbase.
2. Reality shows don't count because, frankly, they all pretty much suck.

So my picks are:

Mamma Mia. I can't stand Abba.
Glee. I don't like (most) musicals.
Sex And The City (TV or movies).
Desperate Housewives. Eveb Nathan couldn't make me watch this.
The 'Twilight' movies. After seeing the first one that's enough reason not to watch the others.
Anything starring Madonna. I have seen her in Bond though and I can put up with it, although I like the non-irony that she appeared in my least favourite Bond movie, but that wasn't just because of her. And hers is easily the worst theme song.

And now it's you turn.

I like your list. Total agreeance.

Lost.

And I totally predicted the ending after the first ep.

I might catch from flack for this but I have never seen and never plan to see any star trek episodes from any of the series. I'm sure i could get into it if I tried but I was raised on star wars and I just have too much other sci fi stuff to keep up on. I did see the new movie that came out last year though and I liked it. Im not hating on trek Im just saying I will never watch it. Also, I will not watch lost or anything having to do with teenage vampires.

TV:

Lost
West Wing
Grey's Anatomy
Desperate Housewives
BSG (and most sci-fi TV shows)
The Family Guy
Most ABC or CBS shows (except for How I Met Your Mother and Castle)
Modern Family

Movies:

99% of the animated films out there. I usually like them if you can get me to watch them, I just don't have any desire to watch them
Most academy Award nominated stuff - same thing with the animated.

Chris, I'm SO sorry for encouraging you to watch that show, cos it turned out to be a big pile of Go-se.

My picks are:
TV:
ALL soap operas.
Sex and the City
Glee
The Royle Family
Coupling
Weeds
The catherine Tate show
90210
Misfits

Films:
Twilight
Harry Potter
American Pie
Anything by Jason Friedberg (scary movie, epic movie etc)
Hostel and other 'torture porn' horror films
The Fast and the Furious

There's loads of others but these are good examples of the kinds of things I avoid

No worries pal. I was waiting for the finale to pass anyway.
