Popular TV programs never watched

Post by Lazza »

I have never watched an episode of Neighbours or Home and Away in my life. Any Nicksters have similar examples? To keep it simple, only Soapies.

What? I appeared in an episode of Neighbours. You mean you missed it? :P

Used to watch them way back, haven't looked at either of them for probably 15 years.

I'd say there's plenty of other popular TV shows I've never seen an episode of though

Wouldn't be hard for me. I went through a brief phase of watching Home and Away for about three weeks when I was 15, and have undoubtedly caught at least part of an episode of Neighbours at some point or other. But I haven't watched TV for anything but the football for years, so it'd be easier for me to point to what I have seen! Going down the list below, for instance, apart from those two I've only watched Frontline, Blue Heelers (like, one episode) and Kath & Kim:

Apart from Neighbours and Home and away a long time ago, I've only watched with any regularity 4 or 5 on that list, and again that was a loooong time ago.

I've seen every episode of Blue Heelers, multiple times each :lol:

Underbelly and Prisoner would be the only other 2 I've watched a fair bit of.

I’m addicted to the bold and the bea, the ultimate soap!

Also loved another world!

Home and away and neighbours on occasion, but yeah, crap!

Blue heelers wasn’t a soap.

As for popular shows I’ve never watched an episode ofthe Simpsons, but the simpson ride at LA universal isthe best!


Seinfeld is genius

Friends is on now, but it’s crap! And annoying!

Mum watches that bold and botoxed every day. I see it walking past sometimes, FMD the acting defines expressionistic wooden. Mind you, she used to watch days of our Lives back in the day

I have seen far more of Friends than I would have liked, which is zero. :lol:

I cannot watch most comedies on TV because I absolutely detest canned laughter

Totally agree, Lazza. One of the best things that happened to British comedy in particular was when canned laughter suddenly became unfashionable in the early 2000s.
