Bastet October 25, 2017 Share October 25, 2017 Ree Drummond is straight-up creepy to me, between that demented clown smile and a voice I'd stick my head in an oven to escape from. Good thing I'd rather eat my cat's food than hers, so I'm not missing anything by not being able to watch her show. And whenever I read something about how she lives her life (sometimes posters in forums for cooking shows I do watch will make reference to her), I invariably think, "Of course she does." So, yeah, she's on my list, too. 8 Link to comment
hoosier80 October 27, 2017 Share October 27, 2017 (edited) Whatever the "Judge's" name is on Paternity Court. I have a lot of tv on when I work from home, and sometimes I am in the middle of something and don't change the channel immediately when this horrible show comes on air. Just read the results, but no Judge has to question the two parties, getting into when the mother and potential baby daddy slept together. She'll pull in medical professionals as to whether it's possible to get pregnant given whatever the condition of the day is. All could be solved by READING THE RESULTS. Then she feels the need to lecture the parties on how they need to come together for the child, or how the mother needs to find the daddy, or how they need to do something else. She's just a "Judge". So sanctimonious. Read the results, then have it put into the records. The end. Maury does the same stuff, but he's not billing it as a court show and he's not acting like a judge. Plus, he moves them in and out. Paternity Court has one reveal per 30 minutes. I don't understand why people don't go to a real court, or some medical facility. I guess they want their 15 minutes of fame. Used to Love the Fixer Upper Couple. Now they grate on my last nerve. Chip acts like a damned fool. Joanna has the same designs, and everything has shiplap. I now avoid the show like the plague. Edited October 27, 2017 by hoosier80 forgot stuff 1 Link to comment

SunnyBeBe October 31, 2017 Share October 31, 2017 (edited) I really got a kick out of reading all the previous posts about celebs that people can't stand. It's quite amusing, because there doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason behind it. You know, sometimes, there is just something about someone that you just can't stand. We are amazing creatures. Here are a few of mine: Jennifer Lopez Beyonce Kristin Stewart Kardashians and Jenners Angelina Jolie Kanye West It's amazing that I made my list, before I saw this. Apparently, there are popular people to dislike. What a list to be on, right? https://www.thecut.com/2013/04/20-most-hated-celebrities-why-we-hate-them.html Edited October 31, 2017 by SunnyBeBe 8 Link to comment

proserpina65 November 7, 2017 Share November 7, 2017 Rose McGowan - I always thought she was kind of weird bordering on obnoxious, but now the sight of her name puts my teeth on edge. If what she's said about Harvey Weinstein is true, then I'm very sorry for what she suffered and I fully support her right to speak out about it, but does she really have to be so grating and rude about other people? 16 Link to comment

Ah, the old feeling sorry for what an individual has gone through yet STILL not being able to like them, conundrum. Perhaps, because none of the shows or movies she's been in were of any interest to me, I have to admit I never have seen her outside of snippets so I actually have just a 'meh' reaction to her as a personality. I guess what you're describing is how I feel re Rosie O'Donnell whom I started out liking but just wound up IMO being rude and grating as a personality. Yes, I do indeed feel sorry for things she has gone through and I really DO hope she finds her peace despite said things (as I do Miss McGowan). However; I can't say I really like her or have any interest in seeing her on TV any more. 2 Link to comment

Enigma X January 3, 2018 Share January 3, 2018 Ellen is ok to me, but I admit I do not watch her talk show.

Blergh March 27, 2018 Share March 27, 2018 I was SO happy when they finally cancelled her syndicated blab show but I know she's got some kinda online option deal which I have zero interest in because I always felt I was getting LESS than my money's worth when I 'd make the mistake of not turning the channel and seeing her for free so why should I PAY to see her again? I'm talking Sally Jessy Raphael who was openly a bully and scold to any and all 'guests' who dared not worship her party line -and, in the latter years, heightened that by hiding behind imposing teen boot camp drill sergeants when she'd dump on teens who often had LEGIT reasons for their angst! AFAIC, she made Oprah seem bashful & humble and had all the sincerity of fly-by-night used coffin seller! 3 Link to comment
hoosier80 April 13, 2018 Share April 13, 2018 I've probably already posted this somewhere, but I cannot stand Steve Harvey on his talk show. My mom LOVES him, so I "got" to see him recently as she had the show on in her house. He comes out with some mini monologue, not funny one bit. He laughs at his own "jokes" like he's so funny. And he has to bring up oh that wouldn't get by me (because I'm hood) or I grew up in the hood, then he told someone else he was country. He said he grew up in West Virginia, but I know I watched a birthday show for him (oh he was completely surprised - right - he's the producer or exec producer of the show, so no way he was surprised, I bet he arranged the whole show himself), and his high school in Cleveland was featured, and they renamed a street for him (like a 1 day deal). He changes his background to meet the immediate situation or so it seems. Then he does a matching game with an audience member; if they get so many matched they get $$, etc. It's not a new concept - I know there are online games that require you do to matches like that. When he gets into relationship advice, nope, sorry hard pass from me. And he always seems to tell females that they have to please a man or do stuff for their man. It just seems so misogynistic to me. I don't mind him as much on Little Big Shots, probably because the kids are so cute. He does get on my nerves there, too. Same routine, old man who doesn't know what, or he's nonplussed by the kids' remarks. Then, when the kids are doing their talent, they have to show the reaction shots of him standing off to the side, clapping or saying stuff like 'get it girl', etc. I just find him to be an over the top old ham, using the same old schtick. I don't mind him on Family Feud, but he seems to be getting really full of himself. I think that at some point, I won't be able to watch LBS or FF because he'll be so obnoxious. He seems to put on other personas when he's the Miss USA/Universe host and when he's hosting Show Time at the Apollo. I may watch Show Time at the Apollo for the acts, but the beauty contests, nah. I'm at home today and his daytime show just came on, so I had to vent. 18 Link to comment

fishcakes April 15, 2018 Share April 15, 2018 I liked Ellen DeGeneres until that whole thing where she and Portia adopted Iggy the puppy, gave him to one of her employees less than two weeks later instead of returning him to the rescue group as they had agreed to in the adoption contract, and then sicced the media on the rescue group when they retrieved the dog from Ellen's employee. She started her show one day with a bunch of melodramatic sobbing and lies about how the group had just ripped this poor dog away from a loving family (in reality, the rescue group had tried to work with the family and get them to go through the normal adoption process and they refused; taking the dog was a last resort), and it ended up with the group having to shut down for a while because they were deluged with nasty calls and emails telling them to give the dog back. The part of the story that was reported, but not nearly widely enough, was that it wasn't the first or the last time that Ellen had adopted a dog and then ditched it soon after getting it home. She has a long history of doing it. So she can miss me with her, "I love animals, I've devoted my life to animals, oh by the way, have you seen my line of Ellen-branded pet products?" BS. 15 Link to comment

Orillia April 15, 2018 Share April 15, 2018 That idiot Steve Harvey has almost ruined Family Feud for me. He thinks every answer is a set up line for one of his typically unfunny bits or one of his hilarious reactions. My favorite thing is when he ridicules the player for what he thinks is a bad answer and its on the board. He's such a moron !

The show needed an obnoxious wild card character. One of the funniest Tracy Jordan moments in 30 Rock is where they just used real life Tracy Morgan interview footage to demonstrate that Tracy Jordan was uncontrollable. I think 30 Rock is probably the best use of Tracy Morgan that I've ever seen. 5 Link to comment
