Breaking Bad. Tried watching it during a marathon, and it was the most boring piece of crap I'd ever seen.
Great American Hero. I just could never get into this show. I last about five minutes before quitting.
Batman. I don't hate the show, but I never really enjoyed it as a kid. It was one of those shows that I watched because it was just there. Same thing with The Brady Bunch and The Flintstones.
The Munsters. Don't hate the show but could never get into it because I absolutely adored The Addams Family and felt like it was just ripping it off.
The Outer Limits. Yes, I know. It's a classic. But it always felt like a poor man's Twilight Zone, and it was besieged by horrible special effects that put it in MST3K territory.
Sherlock. One of those shows that everyone swore up and down was so brilliant and original when all it did was rip everyone off. Take one part "tsundere" character from anime, one part House and one part Dr. Who, and you had Sherlock.
Friends. A show that takes place in NYC, and there isn't one minority to be seen anywhere, not even in the background as an extra. Thanks, but no thanks.
Herman's Head. Hated this show like no tomorrow but it was extremely popular.
Newhart. I hated it so much that I used to hate watch it just to see how bad it was going to get. But seeing the finale, the cheesiness must have been intentional because to this day it's the most brilliant one ever made.
Welcome Back, Kotter. This is probably, hands down, my most hated TV of all time. You take a show that's supposedly supposed to be about troubled inner city kids in Brooklyn and you turn it into The Marx Brothers amateur house. And every episode, each one of the main characters has to do his signature stupid catchphrase. And you have one guy sound like a stereotypical female yenta. And they're all, like, 30 year old guys playing 14 year olds.
"Friends. A show that takes place in NYC, and there isn't one minority to be seen anywhere, not even in the background as an extra."
Absolute nonsense. You've clearly never seen the show.
Nonsense. You clearly don't remember that this was one of the most talked about issue of the show and has been for ages.

You claimed there were NO minorities to be seen, which is nonsense. They were in the background and they were recurring characters in main storylines (blacks AND Asians, by the way).
Yes, I'm aware the show has become a target of snowflake SJW's. It doesn't mean they are right.
Sherlock. Take one part "tsundere" character from anime, one part House and one part Dr. Who, and you had Sherlock.
House is Sherlock Holmes with medical cases instead of criminal ones. That's not something I'm making up, that's something Bryan Singer (producer) stated himself.
And Dr.Who is based in the eccentric scientific trope from the pulp novels, the same that Dr.Quatermass or other eccentric scientists from 50s/60s scifi movies. Conan Doyle, the author of Sherlock Holmes, was one of the foundations of pulp novels. Some of the pulp tropes can be tracked to him. The 'lost world' trope (the one Spielberg rebooted in 'Jurassic Park' and 'The Lost World') can be tracked to Conan Doyle's 'Lost World' (1912). And the eccentric scientist trope, the one Dr.Who used, that trope was built by different stories... including Sherlock Holmes ones (the books have often forensic elements).
Nope, Sherlock Holmes wasn't based in House and Dr.Who.
House and Dr.Who were based in Sherlock Holmes.
