Was it Bromance? (Happy new year, Brody Jenner: No one wants to see you on TV anymore.)
Was it flipping channels on New Year’s Eve and seeing Robbie Knievel on Fox endlessly hype his lame motorcycle-jump over a Las Vegas volcano?
Was it watching the new episodes of everything on NBC? You know, fresh editions of crapterpieces Deal Or No Deal, Knight Rider, or Momma’s Boys?
This is the day we dump on everything we hated on TV this week. Come on, readers and fellow viewers: What was the worst thing the assaulted your eyeballs this week?

The 11 hour New Year’s Day obesity marathon on TLC. A veritable train-wreck of the morbidly obese and their enablers….I couldn’t look away. For some strange reason I wasn’t hungry after watching it.
Kathy Griffin shrieking in the New Year. When will this woman go away?
The trainwreck that is The Real Housewives of Orange County.
I think you meant “assaulted” instead of “assulted”. Don’t mean to be a witch, just thought I would point it before someone else did:)
I too watched the TLC obesity marathon, but the absolute worst thing I saw was the 5 minutes BEFORE Robbie Knievel jumped. The host explained– with digital reenactments– all the ways Knievel could die if the jump went wrong. Just what I wanted to see and hear 10 minutes into the new year.
Didn’t watch a whole lotta tv this week, but i did happen to turn on VH1 and during the commercials saw the spring lineup from hell. I Love Money 2, Rock of Love 3, Confessions of a Teen Idol, and what the eff is TOOL ACADEMY???
For a very short while, while MTV first began spiraling into reality show hell with Laguna Beach, and all those god awful afternooon dating shows, (Next, Roomraiders) VH1 was still airing quality programming and actual music. But now it seems like VH1 and MTV executives are in a mad dash to see who can bring on the apocalypse first by means of demeaning television.
By the way, to put into perspective how evil VH1 has become, in a commercial for Confessions of a Teen Idol, one of the voiceovers utters this: “In a way, fame is the most dangerous addiction of all.”
I loved Bromance! What’s so bad about it? Brody is amazing to look at. It was funny, too. Def entertaining. No need to hate on it. I wouldn’t watch Paris look for a new bff, but I’ll watch Brody any day. When Frankie got jealous: endearing, sweet and humorous.
Thanks, aymzer: fixed!
All of the New Year’s Eve shows were trash. Dick Clark needs to retire, Carson Daly is a nobody, even Kathy and Anderson were boring. And oh, that crappy entertainment! Next year, I’ll watch a DVD.
I saw this terrible TV movie about an Earthquake on SCIFI. I enjoy TV movies and I just couldn’t believe how bad this was.
Ken – why do you list the things you hated on TV? Try focusing on the things you LOVED on TV, so that we the readers can be sure to catch it. Who wants a list of things they shouldn’t see?
I saw this terrible infomercial starring this older lady demonstrating how easy it is to use this cooking thing,you just put in the ingredients and close it. Yeah okay so I went out and bought it. It’s so easy!
I thought bromance was pretty decent. What’s not to like about the hot tub elimination? Shirtless guys and hot water. Yum.
Yah, “tool academy” is coming. A bunch of nobody idiots. The tools VH1 already has(Brett Michaels this is you) are bad enough. Gross. Also, Password is totally awful.
bromance vs knight rider. let the competition for ultimate suckage begin!
Bridal Bowl on MTV anyone — I made the mistake of watching during commercials somewhere else… Why are Speidi still on TV?!?!?!
Add me to the list of gapers to the TLC obesity marathon. Did anyone watch long enough to see if there was an explanation of who was paying for these people to stay at the clinic? Considering that some of them were ordering takeout pizzas, burgers and french fries to the weight loss hospital?
So Bromance is a real show? It looked like an SNL parody of a reality show to me. I thought they were just making fun on the Paris Hilton BFF show. I managed to watch about 5 minutes of that before yelling at the TV. All the people on these shows along with the creators and writers should be killed slowly and painfully. Stop watching and writing about this crap so that it can go away. I only watch the History Channel and National Geographic these days. Praise the lord for Tivo.

I somehow got sucked into “Bridezillas”. I’ve never seen so many awful people be so mean to everyone around them – and everyone put up with it! it was a train wreck. what’s the purpose of being excessively rude and hateful to everyone you encounter? it’s just wrong…
I saw only 1 minute of Deal or No Deal (I was also watching the Magic Awards hosted by NPH). I wanted everyone to suddenly die they were so obnoxious. Then I realized, every single contestant on that show I’ve ever seen was as equally obnoxious.
tlc weird medical marathons for sure!! the siamese twins and half ton mom were the worst.
Yup,Brandons right. The TLC stuff. I watched 4 hours of it last night & dreamed they were my coworkers & were angry the kitchen was limiting us to one dessert per person.
Yeah, that jump was quite lame. The worst part was how they were trying to overhype it, saying that it was so dangerous. One example was if the pyrotechnician sets off the fireworks below too early, Robbie could catch fire and collapse into a burning fireball. Complete with lame animation!
The Good: TV Land running a Brady Bunch Marathon featuring the entire Jan Brady inferiority complex saga: the wig, the only child, Marcia, Marcia, Marcia, the no-talent, the middle-child. All classics.
The Bad: FOX only having one camera on Kneivel’s jump (at ground level no less) so the viewer has no idea how big a jump it was. Agreed, the computer sim of Robbie falling into the volcano was better (I’m not kidding). Bromance reminds me of the guy who is 22 who still goes to high school parties, at some point you realize the guy just isn’t that cool.
My major gripe was that there was no Rose Parade replay for those who slept in on New Years Day.
Did anyone else catch “Half-Ton Teen” on The Learning Channel? Dear God–that kid’s mother–the way she kept babying him, rubbing his feet, calling her 19-year-old son her “baby boy”, and referring to herself in third person (Momma’s gonna make you a sandwich, Momma is going to the store), it was sickening. I swear Mommie Dearest would have stuffed her 900 pound baby boy back into her womb if she could have.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m really tired of flipping past Nancy Grace’s constant “Tot Mom” stuff, about poor Caylee Anthony. See the Mom talk thru the jail glass, see the Mom’s sister’s boyfriend’s aunt’s take on the tragedy. Enough! Let the little girl rest in peace, and let justice be done. Just don’t tell me every little detail again and again. Reminds me of Jon Benet.
DanOregon: “Bromance reminds me of the guy who is 22 who still goes to high school parties, at some point you realize the guy just isn’t that cool.”
LOL man that is so true I couldn’t have said it any better.
Delighted to say I didn’t watch TV this week except the news and that is very, very depressing.
Liza — I had the same thoughts after watching Half Ton Teen! No wonder the kid’s got issues — he’s been smothered since birth.
I watched the obesity marathon too…did anyone get irritated at how the family was just bringing in bags of junk food and eating like pigs, and then the daughter “I’m not worried about my weight” ???? wft? Yeah I am wondering who pays for all the surgeries, ambulance service to transport them? Anyway, then I start watching “Momma’s Boys” ~ Geez you’d think that one guys mom was acting like his “Fatal Attraction” of a wife? She’s sick!! lolol!!!
