We all have those TV shows that everyone raves about, but we just can’t bring ourselves to watch. Recently, a Facebook post asked people to confess which popular shows they avoid — even without ever seeing them — and the responses were simply spot on.
Whether it’s the overhyped drama or characters that don’t appeal, here’s a rundown of shows people love to skip.
“Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” one Facebook user wrote.

“Seinfeld. I’ve never watched it and don’t care to want to try to like it,” another shared.

“Game of Thrones,” someone chimed in.
Embed from Getty ImagesBelieve it or not, Game of Thrones did not escape the list either. One person mentioned it without much elaboration, suggesting that despite the epic battles and dragons, they’re perfectly fine without experiencing the fantasy drama.
“Grey’s Anatomy,” a commenter added.
Embed from Getty ImagesGrey’s Anatomy also got a nod from someone who’s not interested in spending any time at Seattle Grace. With its never-ending twists and medical melodrama, it’s understandable why some might want to steer clear.
“Big Bang Theory,” a user noted.
Embed from Getty ImagesThere were quite a few commenters who admitted that Big Bang Theory is a series they never need to experience. This quirky sitcom is an acquired taste.
“Young Sheldon,” a Facebook user weighed in.
Embed from Getty ImagesA commenter noted their lack of interest in the prequel to Big Bang Theory, indicating that Sheldon’s younger years aren’t worth their viewing time either.
“Gilmore Girls,” another user wrote.
Embed from Getty ImagesGilmore Girls was on the list too. A commenter suggested that the fast-paced dialogue and small-town drama of Stars Hollow isn’t worth watching even once.
“The Office,” one person penned.
Embed from Getty ImagesEven The Office faced criticism. One Facebook user mentioned the show, pointing out that despite its cult status, not everyone is interested in dry and awkward humor. Michael Scott’s antics aren’t for everyone.
“90 Day Fiancé,” wrote another Facebook user.
90 Day Fiancé was another show that didn’t make the cut for some. While it focuses on whirlwind romances and visa issues, it’s a tad too cringe for some.
“Anything with ‘The Real Housewives’ in the title,” someone else wrote.
One person was quick to dismiss the Real Housewives franchise. The drama-filled reality show may be entertaining for many with its high-stakes conflicts, but not for everyone.
“Love Island,” another chimed in.
Embed from Getty ImagesLove Island faced a lot of heat despite the success of this year’s US edition. How could you not love watching 20-something singles couple up in a villa while the cameras roll nonstop?
“The Bachelor/Bachelorette,” one person added.

The Bachelor franchise was mentioned by one person who’s never even considered watching contestants vie for roses and a chance at love on national TV.
“Two and a Half Men,” a user penned.
Embed from Getty ImagesTwo and a Half Men is the next victim on the list. Charlie Sheen’s character didn’t attract everyone’s attention, leading to its placement on the “never have, never will” watch list.
“Dexter,” someone wrote.
Embed from Getty ImagesDexter couldn’t escape the list, either. While the show about a vigilante serial killer had its fans, some would prefer to skip the dark and bloody drama.
“Big Brother,” another person shared.
Embed from Getty ImagesFinally, Big Brother was mentioned. The reality show’s premise of isolating contestants in a house under constant surveillance can be entertaining, but many aren’t willing to take the risk.
