Subject: Most boring show/channel ever.

Written By: JamieMcBain on 01/22/06 at 11:02 am

For me, I would say, anything golf related and The Weather Channel.

Any religious channel is probably the worst.

I don't know how the cable companies are up in Canada, but one thing really irritates me about cable is having to pay for channels that I NEVER WATCH.

I don't want any stupid religous channels.
I don't want any stupid Spanish channels.
I don't want any stupid "women's" channels.
I don't need 16 stupid news channels.
I think MTV is retarded, don't want it. (VH1 is OK sometimes.)
I especially don't want of those f**king home shopping channels.

I get about 150 channels but I watch maybe 20 or 30 of them regularly. Another 20 to 30 of them, I never, ever watch, and some of these channels are so lame that maybe 0.000000000000005% of the population ever watch them. Yet I still have to pay for them. It's a hot load of crap, if you ask me.

Midwestern Humor.  I'm digging it. 


I used to live in Great Falls, Montana, I'm not sure if that's really the Midwest but there's farms and stuff there, plus it is in the Great Plains and some people call soda "Pop" I believe.  They also have "Perkins" and "Hardees" there.

I'd have to say the Canadian religious network "Vision TV"

On Sundays, they air the "Peter Popoff Ministries", starring nopne other than Peter Popoff, that moron who thinks he is one of those faith healers.  I remember long ago when he was exposed as a fraud.  Now he's back with more faith healing and now he's selling "Miracle Spring Water" ... magical water that is supposed to be a solution for physical and financial problems  ::)

OMG Men TV.  Those "Channels for Men" are very bad .. they lead you to believe that all men think about are Cars, Beer and Women (which in some sense though is true)  ;D

We need a real channel for Men!

With football, hockey, baseball, and basketball games, action movies and tv shows, NASCAR, porno films, etc....

The TV Guide Channel is pretty boring to watch
The local channel is sleep-inducing at the best of times
Bloomberg
Weather Channel (I'd rather just go on the net to check the weather)
Tourism Channel (It's basically a 3 hour program on loop...)
The Rugby Channel (Seriously, if they aren't playing a big game, it's just boring docos about the sport and replays of old games from the 80s)
TAB Trackside (Horse racing 24/7... the radio station is worse!)
Shine TV (Our local Christian propaganda channel)
Documentary Channels (I'm sure if they merged all the shows that are actually interesting into 1 super channel, it'd be better)

Spike TV was originally marketed as a "men's" channel.

I don't know if you've ever seen MXC (Most Extreme Elimination Challenge), but that show makes me laugh my ass off.  ;D

PAX TV is the most boring channel ever. It got even worse when they took off the Dr. Quinn reruns.

Also, C-SPAN or any political channel.

HGTV, brought to you by the people at House and Garden magazine!
and oh yeah, Fox(aka Faux) News Channel.

Would it be un-PC to say most PBS stuff is a snoozeathon, with the exception of the British sitcoms and Nova?

The only thing I ever watched on PBS was Red Dwarf and when I was younger, Sesame Street and other kids programs... although after a certian time range in the day, their programs weren't all that great
