I know when it comes to Reality TV shows I can’t be the only one that thinks some of these shows that are on TV are beyond terrible, I wanted to take a few minutes today to post what I feel are the 10 worst TV shows. I really should have just titled this the “10 Worst Reality TV Shows” since most of the terrible shows on TV are typically Reality shows.
Please keep in mind that I don’t watch a tremendous amount of TV, when it comes to my opinion on certain TV shows it’s probably important to point out that I have I decided if I like a show or not within about 30 seconds.
10 Worst TV Shows
1. Operation Repo
Holy crap do I hate this show! Most of my list isn’t in any type of order but Operation Repo is number one on my list without a doubt, there’s just something about the acting in this show that makes it one of the worst “Reality Shows” ever.
2. I Survived a Japanese Game Show
I don’t even know if this show is on TV anymore, there was just something about this show that drove me bananas, I’m not sure if it was the constant screaming and yelling or just the fact that I couldn’t get into the concept. Hate it.
3. Leave it to Lamas
If it were for the couple of hot girls that run through this show from time to time I would really see no reason for it’s existence, does anyone really care about Lorenzo Lamas and what his family is doing? Leave it to Lamas – Hot girls = waste of time.
4. Room Raiders
I’m sorry but there is just something strange about people raiding other people’s rooms regardless of the fact that they know the person or not, I have no urge to see what people have in their rooms. Thank you MTV for exposing us to more disgusting private things with the all class Room Raiders show.
5. Fashion Police
The entire idea of a bunch of maniacs running around and policing what people are wearing just annoys me, I would rather be my own Fashion Police and come up with my own opinion about things.
6. Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami
Let’s face it Reality TV shows can get old and boring pretty quick, it would be nice if they would bring back the oldies like Temptation Island or something like that. When entire families start getting their own Reality TV shows it can only spell disaster, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian aren’t even close to as hot as their sister Kim Kardashian, I had my fair share of Kourtney and Khloe before they took Miami.
7. Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
I actually like Jimmy Falon or at least I did when he was on Saturday Night Live, I have ranted before on Twitter about how quickly Late Night with Jimmy Fallon can get on my nerves. Sorry Jimmy, I had to do it.
8. More to Love
Fox brings the big girls and guys that like plus size woman together in the More to Love reality show. As reality shows get more and more boring for the general public you can expect the flood of micro-niche reality shows to grow. I wouldn’t be completley against the micro-niche stuff if they got more into some hot fetishes like panty fetish, stocking fetish, or hell even pantyhose fetish. Gotcha thinkin now?
9. Our Little Genius
Thankfully Fox has canceled the latest Reality Show that surely would have bored me into a deep early night sleep.
10. Wife Swap
This show probably wouldn’t make the list if you only based it on the first three episodes, they weren’t all that bad believe it or not. Sadly Wife Swap sold it’s Reality soul to the devil and took on the more dramatic over acted approach like Operation Repo.
Now it’s time for the fun part, I want to know what you feel are the worst shows currently on TV. Take a second to leave a comment with what you feel are the worst shows on TV and why you dislike or HATE them so much.

1. – Jersey Shore, I’ve seen lots of my friends from Jersey complain and say how embarassing and retarded this show is , but yet they are still watchin these idiots act like jackasses. Meatheads and bimbos.
2. Survivor – who the hell wants to see a bunch of people back stab each other. Obviously lots of people cause this show has been on for a while.
3.Tyra Banks Show- Thank God this show is in it’s final season, Oprah wannabee, she even 3gained weight lol
4. Realhouse Wives- Are you kiddin me, a bunch of rich cougars with soo much plastic surgery. All they do is drink wine and fight with each other
5. Monk- Who watches this modern Sherlock Holmes?
6. Millionaire Matchmaker- can’t stand the chick that runs this business, even though I gotta give her props cause she’s banking
7. Punked- Ashton Kucher is wayyy too over dramatic.. I swear he drinks like 100 redbulls and shoots up before the show
8. The Dog Whisperer- that mexican dude does amazing stuff but I just can’t stand that show for some odd reason
9. Judge Judy or any Judge- I don’t know how people sit at home and watch this crap, it just goes to show how stupid some people can be when they go to court. This show reminds me how stupidddd and devious some people can be
10. Celebrity Rehab- This show has the power of suggestion., lol
I’m sure in a couple of minutes I’ll be like “Dam I forget that terrible show!” Uhhh Nahh Nahh nahh nahhhh
@sangalicious1, Great post , I like this one, I’m sure there will be favorite show, Didn’t you do that already?I think soo. Kardashians are wayy too played out. Do they send shows that are on there way out to Miami, cause that’s what they did to Hogan.
@sangalicious1,
I like Monk and The Dog Whisperer. I don’t actually watch Monk anymore, there’s just so many things they can do with the concept.
Sad thing is of all the shows mentioned those are the only 2 I recognize. I don’t watch much TV except for the news and the weather channel.
I’m trying to remember the last “new” show I even watched but I can’t think of any that’s within a few years other than the 2 previously mentioned ones.
Just curious but if you don’t like the shows… why do you watch them?
Lorenzo Lamas didn’t he do one of those evening soaps back in the 80′s? Dallas or Falcon Crest. I’m surprised he’s even worth a show of his own.
@, I was stuck watchin these show with other people . Most of the time I enjoy watchin Discovery Channel , History , or Learning Channel. I hope I don’t piss anybody off , these shows are just my OPINION. Lorenzo Lamas use to have a show called Renegade and he was also in a bunch of B movies back in the late 90′s.
@sangalicious1, Sang are you smokin CRACK man? You know you
only watch A TEAM, how would you know what all these other shows are about? After saying that I would agree that all those shows do BLOW!
@safaridave, Ok I ain’t gonna lie the only reason I watch Millionaire Matchmaker is because it amuses to see a bunch of money hungry chicken heads. Even though I hate the Tyra Show she’s still a hot chick, but it’s pretty pathetic that she can’t be original and tries to be Oprah.Dave are giving any of the pets at the shop CRACK lol. Fuck.. now the A TEam theme song is in my freakin head bro
@sangalicious1, awesome comment Sang and thanks for getting involved and taking the time to list what you feel are the worst shows on TV. Don’t worry about upsetting anyone, everyone here is pretty thick skinned.
hahahaha very funny my friend it is really the worst tv shows i ever see.
renantech´s last blog ..The Greatest Means To Learn Cyberspace Marketing Strategies
My son loves Operation Repo but he’s 12. I have to be honest and say that there one or two on your list that I wasted time watching. Dude I have this domain hotprimetimetv.com it’s all you man. Dude you can he be like Perez without the Flamer stuff
Ah Johnny’s TV Review
Nice
call me I’ll be Yo Agent
The one thing to note are topics that everyone can relate to because people do waste incredible amounts of time watching senseless programming and those shows do suck
Thanks
John Sullivan´s last blog ..Finding the beat of your blog
@John Sullivan, haha not sure about TV for me. I like hiding in the shadows better
Wow, uh, of all of those I’ve watched Wife Swap and agree it wasn’t so bad in the beginning, but is a bit much now. If it’s on cable/satellite I probably haven’t heard of it. We don’t pay for tv. It’s not that good.
Shows I can’t stand would be Dancing with the Stars [this show is just horrible], Extreme Home Makeover with Ty Pennington [many of those people lose their houses in the end and it is way over dramatized], any PBS show about the Appalachian people [my husband seems to like watching these and I just want to shove a sharp object in my eye].
I don’t care of American Idol either, but am probably in the minority there. I do like So You Think You Can Dance, though.
I miss shows like Mystery Science Theater 3000 which was just stupid funny.
Anne´s last blog ..Auto Speak with Dip Stick
@Anne, I like Dancing with the Stars solely for the purpose of the hot bodies on the female dancers ;)
Hehe… I did not watch anyone of them.
Jayce´s last blog ..How to hack Facebook account profile
Only three or four of those shows are locally available here but I also dislike operation repo.
I had to admit Kourtney and Khloe are looker themselves like their sister Kim.
ZXT´s last blog ..Shopping Galore
@ZXT, don’t let the great picture fool you. That might very well be the hottest picture they have ever taken.
Normally wife swap sounds great, but you can’t put that on regular tv.
The Wife swap tv show is a total train wreck and horrible at best.
The rest of them I have not really seen. I don’t watch much tv either except for sports ( UFC, WEC, NFL, a little hoops and entourage) It seems as tv is nothing but reality tv, which caters to the exact public that watches it ( mindless people with nothing else to do but watch a bunch of mindless crap ). ENTOURAGE IS THE ONLY SHOW FOR ME. Just how are they going to put this show on standard cable, it will be a total dub over on sound with all the foul langauge and are they going to show them smoking weed all show long and starard cable? The half hour show will have to be edited down to about 10 minutes.
How about that main event on WEC last night!
@safaridave, Enterouge is bad bad ass, I can’t wait for the new season. You know that Spike is doing all of the reruns right?
Great list! Without even thinking long, I came up with at least a dozen shows at the bottom of my list. So many reasons not to watch much tv anymore. I don’t think I’m missing anything.
Mike´s last blog ..N.O. Brew Hazelnut Review
@Mike, your not.
I can’t stand reality TV shows, they really get right on my ……. Here in the UK we seem to have nothing but celebrity shows, the TV executives came to the un-wise decision to take classic show and add celebrities instead of Joe Public, GGGGrrrrrr don’t get me started, or I may have to do a similar post for celebrity shows
Karen @ Blazing Minds´s last blog ..Project 365 Photo A Day: Church Renovation
@Karen @ Blazing Minds, yeah I will never understand the concept of putting celebrities into shows that people already enjoy. I see enough of them everywhere else.
@Extreme John, it’s a sad case of “we are celebrities, give us more air time and money, we need to be seen!”
Karen @ Blazing Minds´s last blog ..Celebrity TV Shows – Please No More!
I have never watched a single episode of any one of these shows, I truly have always avoided reality TV at all. I did however like Monk, sorry that it ended. Monk is over, the series finale was aired.
Dragon Blogger´s last blog ..PayPerPost Upgrade Benefits Advertisers and Bloggers
@Dragon Blogger, I never watched Monk I did have a few people that tried to get me to watch it but no luck.
I have to agree, all of those shows are bad. I try not to watch reality TV they are all crap, and a waste of time. I watch a lot of TV, and the ones already mentioned are the worse. But I would add anything considered reality TV should be added to list. Yuck!
element321´s last blog ..How to create Twitter Lists Through Hootsuite
@element321, haha see I don’t mind reality TV as a whole I just hate how every network feels they need to take the dramatic Real World concept and work it into every reality show that comes out.
I’m happy to say I’ve seen exactly 0 of these shows. Ever.
As for sangalicious1 list, I’ve only seen one (no, I have never, ever seen Survivor — and, in fact, I went through the entire Friends craze without watching that either). My sister got a DVD of an entire series of Monk last year for Christmas from one of her kids. I watched two episodes with her and found it to be clever and funny without all the garbage.
The only shows I watch now are Leverage and Blue Collar. And some news. Once in a while I fast forward through a So You Think You Can Dance or American Idol to watch the actual performances. (Hey, I majored in musical theater in college before graduating with a degree in theater management. It’s in my blood.)
Alison Moore Smith@Start Blogging in 1 Week´s last blog ..Traffic Tutorial: Add Your Blog to Kindle
@Alison Moore Smith@Start Blogging in 1 Week, how is that show Blue Collar? I remember seeing a commercial a while back for it and thinking I wanted to see it, but I don’t have that much TV time so it can be tough sometimes.
I’m just glad you didn’t say that Top Chef sucked. My cousin Kevin was on there this season & the whole show rocked. (For reality TV) That is the first time I have watched a reality TV show consistently, and it was only because Kevin was on there. He did really well.
Keith@Norman Rockwell Art´s last blog ..Jan 10, Norman Rockwell The Dugout, Saturday Evening Post Cover
@Keith@Norman Rockwell Art, I have never seen an episode of that show before and I like cooking and love eating
No sense on attacking good chefs, all though I should probably see it before I commit. haha.
Thats pretty awesome that your cousin had a chance to be on the show, that had to be a great experience.
These must be real bad, as not a single one of them made it across the ocean to my fair country.
Anne @ b6s.net´s last blog ..Gardening Forums for Sale
@Anne @ b6s.net, consider yourself lucky.
Can’t stand reality shows! (well I do get wrapped up in a few foodtv ones, but I love to cook!), so your list could have been a mile long with reality shows.
Tv in my opinion is for sports, news, and watching DVD’s. Creativity is gone from television now.
Keith@Need Information´s last blog ..Add Multiple Feeds to Facebook Fan Page
@Keith@Need Information, if it weren’t for sports I would probably never watch TV, well that’s not true. I do watch a few King of Queens episodes every night and have for many many years.
I have only actually seens 3 of those shows you listed. I have to disagree with the kardASSians. that show keeps me coming bac for more, just like that other slut playboy girl married to Hank Baskett (is he still on the Eagles?)
The shows I hate are the ones my wife makes me watch like:
all about the dress and what not to wear and other crap on style network and tlc. good post and good to see you back in action
Tycoon Blogger @blogging money´s last blog ..Need Twiends? Get more twitter followers free
@Tycoon Blogger @blogging money, yeah there’s not a chance I would ever watch those shows. Lisa knows better
haha.
ok the worst shows ever would be flava of love….the bachelor…..tila tequila ….. oh yea an di love new york… why would you go on national t.v sayin help me im soo desperate and F****ed up that i cant get a date in real life ..so lets get together with other social rejects and and publically humiliate ourselves
@Rachel, haha you make that sound so special. I use to like Flavor of Love and I Love New York, it was comedy watching all of those idiots.
I can’t believe you got me to waist 5 minutes watching the car repo clip. I haven’t even heard of most of these shows.
Ned Carey´s last blog ..1099s Are Due! Have You Sent Yours Out?
@Ned Carey, I should have put a warning in Ned. That show is brutal.
@Extreme John,
Actually I can see the attraction to these shows. I did enjoy the clip. I just made a conscious decision that sitting in front of a TV is not how I want to spend my life.
Ned Carey´s last blog ..1099s Are Due! Have You Sent Yours Out?
Nice list for some reason I think number one is awful but I do find myself watching it at times but I don’t watch much tv outside of sports. Worst part is it is re-enactments so it isn’t even real.
One of my bold predictions is that the next 10 years is TV will die the net will take over. With the available bandwidth and unlimited content on the net it is only a mater of time before TV is over as we know it. All tv will get content from the web. Look at all the crap coming out that has a network connection. Even more of a reason to have a online presence.
Jared P Little´s last blog ..Brian Tracy Tuesday – Strategic Thinking
@Jared P Little, I would love to agree with you but you have some serious quality freak die hards like myself that want the Ultra High Definition TV that the web just can’t deliver, 10 years from now might be a different story though. I like big TV’s and amazing surround sound, I hate waiting for things to cache and load and whatever else.
@electric heating uk, I never cared for the Simpsons for whatever reason I just always found it as unfunny as anything can be.
Wife swap…hmmm…do you think some couples divorce afterwards?
ZXT´s last blog ..Shopping Galore
@ZXT, if they do I doubt it’s because of the show.
was watching tv the other night, and they have this one called Total Drama Island, which is definitely a reality show… except it’s a cartoon! I can say without a doubt in my mind that it is the lamest thing ever.
@electric heating uk,
A reality TV show that is a cartoon, Is that the ultimate irony? Now a parody of a reality show, that might be funny.
Ned Carey´s last blog ..2010 Baltimore Tax Sale Date
Lets see.There are a few I could think off the top of my head
Lopez tonight…. I was veryyyy upset when that aired. Nothing like “george lopez” ..
Jersey shore….. I mean need I say more about that show.. WTFFFFF..
VH1s newest hit “Franks love affair in his basement” Or whatever.. Seriously any female who goes on a show where there “future” love was living in a basement with his parents deserves to have her own show on falling in love with the scumbag. HAHA
Sex and drug rehab…. Really?!?!?! I swear everytime i turn that show on. someone on there is gettin wasted to boinked. HAHa. So much for rehab and i do belive that half of these people have been on this rehab show repeated times.
Hell if all these people get there own show. Im pretty sure we could keep an audience going if we had a show.. “The extreme” LOL.
@Beautifulme86, I haven’t heard of the Sex and Drug Rehab and I’m not sure that I want to, it would probably drive me bananas.
Dude, “Operation Repo” would be such a great show if it was real. I saw a commercial for it once, and was like, “That looks awesome.” That was, however, until I saw the disclaimer saying that it is all reinacted. BS. And “Wife Swap” has definitely jumped the shark…
The Constant Complainer´s last blog ..Cell Phone Shots – Volume IX
My wife loves the fashion police after one of the big award shows. I’m not a fan.
Funny list. It makes a lot of sense and somehow I agree with you. Some of shows you’ve listed here were totally crap.
I lost the remote to my TV so I have to get up to change the channel. Needless to say, it remains on one channel most of the time. That channel happens to be comedy central, a cess-pool of questionable messages. So I have no idea what’s on the rest of television. But I don’t feel like I have to know all of that to say that “Ugly Americans” is one of the worst shows on TV. What’s worse, I can hardly find any voices against this show. I only pray that most people are simply not-watching it, instead of agonizing over its awfulness like myself. Do as I say, not as I do.
I actually get up to change the channel when it comes on.
You’re absolutely right about Operation Repo being the absolute worst show of television. You’ve got to wonder what the heck is going on over at TruTV. They used to have a great franchise with great evening shows (like Body of Evidence, Forensic Files, Haunting Evidence, and other quality programs). Why they think a show like Operation Repo, a show that utilizes actors with the acting talent of Madonna and non-actor repo doofusses with no charisma whatsoever — all to RE-CREATE totally boring stories — is in any sense better than the shows they used to produce and air is wayyy beyond me.
@Doug, I agree. There was a time when I would leave that channel on in the background for hours, now I can’t handle it at times.
