"I can reduce my monthly payment?  Tell me how!"

Here's how:
>>> Go further into debt.
>>> Pay less money each month for many years longer.
>>> Pay more interest over the life of your new loan.
>>> Reduce the equity you've built up.
>>> Reduce your net worth.
>>> Pay only interest, meaning you'll never pay off the loan.

Fear Factor.  I don't understand why anyone wants to watch other people eat bugs.

Infomercials.

What ever happened to repeats and old movies?

And some of the new infomercials are about things I rather not hear about late at night like rectal exams and colonasscopies :-)

It is scary that I have to ask but is that a real show?

Stupid shows slip right by me since I don't watch them.

“The Swanâ€? was pretty weird 'til I shot one of the final contestants through Fox for Playboy and then the "where are they now" reunion.

After that, jamming $250K worth of plastic surgery into your body on National TV became sensible wink

The bugs are aren't so bad. It's when they start eating things like pig rectum that it gets bad.

The stupid local news teaser:   "there might be something in your house that could kill you in seconds ... find out why _____ is causing ______..    we'll tell you more at 6:00 pm"    If it's that important tell me now!!.

Oh and the local news actually had a video clip of a family being run down by a car last night,  I had nightmares about it.   it showed a security camera view of a woman holding a child's hand about to enter a business when a car plunges in from the right side and runs them over.         I so want to sue them for emotional distress.!!

Reruns of America's Funniest Home Videos with Bob Saget. After I saw his stand up routine and heard his filthy mouth, I couldn't look at that show the same way again.

Fear Factor is pretty funny to me.

I'm really amazed at that new part where they go to people's homes and these idiots do the same disgusting crap for only 5K.

Snakes and spiders all over me don't bother me, jumping off moving trucks doesn't bother me, it's the eating bugs or gross stuff that kills it for me.

I also wouldn't do that thing where they put you in a glass pipe and fill it with water to see how long you can hold your breath - NO THANKS!

God bless Jerry Springer - that show makes my life look amazing!

Celebrity Fit Club.  Why is it that it's always the oldest has-been who acts like a prima donna?  If you don't want to participate, why did you agree to be on the show?

TV in general sucks......I dont even have a TV and I dont care.
Why? Because there is nothing to watch on regular channels anymore.

You have to PAY for TV now, and theres so much crap, I will not pay to watch crap. I find the internet more interesting and educational.

There are better things to do than watch TV, especially when there is nothing but crap on TV. I'd rather be shooting.

Take your pick.  MOST of what is on the TV is stupid.

  A few good shows like CSI for one.  bs

Isn't "stupid things on television" redundant?  I realize that not all of it is stupid, but the majority is.

Somehow, I don't believe that all CSI units in modest sized cities have futuristic labs, drive Humvees, and devote six investigators to every investigation.  I don't believe that lab results are available instantaneously.  I don't believe that a stern eye is all you need to get your lab work prioritized ahead of all others.
