I do not watch The Undateables on C4 as I thought the advertising campaign leading up to the pilot was in bad taste. I watched a couple of episodes afterwards and was pleased to see that it wasn't taking the mickey out of the people involved, but because of the way it was advertised I didn't remain a viewer.
I also don't watch anything with Mel Gibson or Mark Whalberg in it for their racist rants/actions

Sometimes you just have to stick to your principles and protect your IQ.
(Agreed about Jim Davidson, but he is not shown enough)
Any programmes with Gypsies in, x factor and all the rest, anything with Michael Buble in, The Royle Family, Mrs Browns Boys, any of those TOWIE type programmes.
Very good point, and well made
I'm definitely with you on that one.
I can't bring myself to watch anything with Mel Gibson in either.
I will not have any of the Simon Cowell stable of shows on - he sets up unrealistic expectations of very young and vunerable people and drops them like a hot rock as soon as they stop making him money.
Nor will I have various reality shows such as Big Brother, I'm a celebrity - and the like - but that is not on moral grounds except possibly BB which is only on for the voyeristic thrill of seeing a couple have sex - otherwise the few times I have caught it when looking at other programmes on C4 and now C5 it has been a tedious bore.
Those 3 are on my list plus a few more of that type.
Celebrity Jungle
Ice skating
Dancing
Big Brother
X factor
Britain's not got talent
Eurovision
Look, just assume I avoid almost anything/everything not on BBC4.
I won't be watching This Week this week because Katie Hopkins is on.>:(
