Shows I've sampled but not liked:
well....there's got to be couple.
Star Trek Voyager
Star Trek The Next Generation
Will and Grace
K Street
The King of Queens
and about 10 stupid shows NBC used to run between Friends and Seinfeld/Frasier
Suddenly Susan...Boston Common...The Single Guy...there are others. Kirstie Allie had one that sucked, John Laroquette had one...I know I'm missing some others.

Boston Common was very clever, I loved that show. Yes Dear is an insult to a 4th grader's intelligence (or so I found on the 2 episodes I was able to sort of sit through)

The CBS equivalent of The World According To Jim. Any thinking Chicago resident or native (oops, there I go with the oxymorons again) should be ashamed that this show is still on.

Exactly. Thats another one. There are at least 5 of these shows on right now, there is one with the guy from "Full Monty"? They are all the same, dumb husband, cute but smart ass wife, throw in some out of control kids and hijinks ensue...whoa the comedy...

Replace one of the kids with an out of control dog, and until about a year ago, that was our home! 
So where's my sitcom, huh... ABC? CBS? NBC? Shoot, I'll even settle for UPN!

Delta says there's only 7 story plots, so every book, movie and TV show is one of the seven. I think he's right. The only thing that makes it interesting are innovative twists, and no one's doing that. There is only one TV show we watch, and that's ER. I occasionally watch others, but I don't care if I miss them. And we don't have cable/satellite/whatever, so I have no idea what I might be missing there.
