I agree with almost everything on the list only I'd add Hogan's Heroes to it.  My SO sometimes watches that show, but I find a comedy about Nazis, well, appalling.

Lisa, I'm taking off your list.  Thanks so much for making it easy to post to these! 

Hurl - Never heard of it either

I Love Money - Never saw it but heard about it.

Moment of Truth - Dh watched it a couple of times.  It was awful.  It should have been "sell yourself out for money"

Jail - Never heard of it.

Kid Nation - Watched a snip maybe.  Reminded me of Lord of the Flies which I found disturbing too.

Chaotic with Britney & Kevin - Can we say "career suicide?"

Hey Paula - see above

The Anna Nicole Smith Show - Yes, I watched this.  I may have been pregnant at the time and stuck in bed.  There had to be a reason.  Since her death it's so sad to think we all watched her spiral downward on film.

The Swan - I may have watched a few episodes.  I just remember SNL making horrible fun of it.

I Want a Famous Face - never heard of it.

Temptation Island - They show reruns of this on the Reality  Channel.  Never watched a full episode though.

Cheaters - AGain, my dh watches this.  It's sort of funny.  Does that make me a horrible person?  I think the rule is, if you suspect your mate of cheating this badly you probably don't need a PI.

Flavor of Love & I Love New York - I never understood what was so fabulous about Flavor Flav to make women compete with him.  Odd.  Never watched New York.

Keeping up with the Kardashians - What makes this show any worse than other reality shows?   LOL  I do watch this from time to time.  I'm not sure why other than the fact that it's a different world than I live in so it's sort of fascinating.

The Bad Girls Club - Never saw it either.

Reality Shows with Millionaires - Don't care for them much. 

Wife Swap & Trading Places - I watch Wife Swap on some network in the afternoon, but since the whole "balloon boy" saga it makes me rethink how odd these people may really be.

Chains of Love - Never Heard of it.

Big Brother - I could never get into this one.  I tried.  My mom watched the first sesason.

Real World - This show started when I was in college and it was actually done well.  The people in the house were more mature.  They had jobs and careers and just lived together.  Now it seems so cartoonish in comparison.  It's all about being outlandish but I believe the woman who started the whole concept passed away and I wonder if that's why it's so trashy now.

 The simple Life- Yuck.

My Super Sweet 16 - What is this?This is another MTV show about spoiled brat girls who's parents dump thousands of dollars on their sweet sixteen party only to be yelled at by their spoiled brat girls for not spoiling them the right way.   

MTV Shows that aren't about videos - I agree too. 

The Little Groom & Age of Love - Never saw them either.

The Bachelor - for me it depends on the girls.  If there aren't any I like I tend to disconnect.

The Jerry Springer Show - Jerry was a bit over the top, however when he was still in Ohio he had a good show and did a lot to expose the plight of homeless and beaten down people.  Then he went to Chicago.  I didn't mind him before.  Montel was more about personal stories.  Anyone remember Sally Jesse Raphael?  I liked her.

Big Brother is the only one on the list that I do seem to like at times.  Hmm!!! I am not sure I would say it is appalling.  I think it just depends on the people on the show.  Amazing Race and Survivor sometimes have people on the show that do weird stuff too. 

I didn't really like Wife Swap or Trading Places.  I just couldn't get into those shows.  I thought the families were too odd.

I did seem to enjoy the before/after pictures of the Swan.   However I can see why it would not be for everyone.

The rest I either never heard of or just weren't interested in.  I never watched Jerry Springer.  The only daytime talk show I seemed to like was Oprah.  I, however, don't watch it anymore.  The rest I just can't seem to get hooked on.
