    I'll start...

    I can't stand Game of Thrones. I watched the entire first season and really wanted to like it, but...I think it's awful. The acting is bad, the violence is out of control and I just don't get the appeal. Ugh. 
    I watched the first few seasons and actually liked it but it just got to be a lot of work. I would see it on my DVR and thinking "ugh, I don't have the energy" so I just stopped watching it.

  • I don't like Nutella. I wanted to, I tried to, but it's just not the spread for me.
  • Eep! GoT is the beeest! But, in keeping with TV show UOs, I just can't get into Breaking Bad. Tried twice. Didn't do it for me.

  • @kmalls my whole family and little clique of friends love it, and when I tell them I don't they glare at me like I just said something racist! I do however LOVE those Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolates, if that makes any difference.

    I hate the invention of the diaper genie. Take the poop outside or dump it in the toilet if you can. A cyclinder of hidden poop in a room makes me cringe. 
    Wut. I need more information. What do you mean by "take the poop outside?" Like, scrape the poop out and flick it on the ground? Personally I'd much rather put the diaper in the genie and be done with it. If you spring for a good one you won't even know it's there. No smell. I can't imagine trying to get contents of a blowout into a toilet, either. Yuck.

    I am right there with you! We just take it right out to the big trash can. Some of the poops are so stinky you just have to get them out of the house!

  • @kmalls - I watched one episode and was done. I don't see the appeal either. It makes me cringe!

    @kmalls I was skeptical of GoT at first but then DH and I watched all the seasons in like a month...multiple weekends just sitting on our butts! We were actually just talking yesterday how excited we are that it is going to come back on next month!

    Edit to add my UO: Since we are on the topic of TV shows, I don't like ones that seem so popular with everyone else. I have never watched The Office, Big Bang Theory, Parks and Rec, and some others I can't think of right now. I have no desire to watch them either.

  • Apparently my UO is that most of you have horrendous taste is television. Long live GoT and Parks and Rec! If someone says they hate Mad Men I'm gonna lose it. 
    Mad Men was the greatest show ever on television. My neighbor told me he hated it and I nearly died. He tried to argue that Orange is the New Black was a better show...I still can't talk to him about it.

    My UO is regionally specific. Wawa- it's not that great. Not sure why people in SEPA/South Jersey thinks it's heaven on earth...
  • My UO is that I hate hate hate the Kardashians. Why do so many people love them? I don't even think THAT train wreck is interesting enough to watch. 
    I agree. Everything about them makes me cringe.

  • @PeggyOlsonFTW wife and I just started mad men. We are most of the way through season 1. I have such a hard time watching cheating asshole pigs, but it's a great show! Also aside from the fact that it makes us both want to smoke a pack of cigarettes while watching it. 

    My UO is that I hate hate hate the Kardashians. Why do so many people love them? I don't even think THAT train wreck is interesting enough to watch. 
    Wait til you get to the end of season 1!!

    Uh because it's tasty and super convenient. I wouldn't describe it as heaven on earth, but it's pretty awesome.

  • I love GoT. I love the books, love the series, yes to all! Sorry, but everyone else is just wrong. 

    To stick with the theme- I absolutely despise The Walking Dead. I just hate it, and the gross zombies and the ridiculous amount of gore (coming from someone that like GoT). I have to leave the room when DH wants to watch it.

  • GoT is awesome.  I get that it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I strongly disagree that the acting is bad.  There are some superb actors on there. (Peter Dinklage!)

    My UO is I have tried many times to get into Outlander (show and book) and I just can't do it.  I lose interest.

    Same - love GoT (the books and the show), can't stand The Walking Dead. I am usually into horror stuff but for some reason I cannot get myself to care about any of those characters! I know it's a very popular show but I don't get the appeal.

    Another TV UO - I have never seen a "Real Housewives" of anywhere.

    Another GOT fan over here!  However, I also love Walking Dead.

    Like @suzy311 , I have never seen "Real Housewives" of anywhere either.... I have also never seen (nor have any interest to):

    - The Bachelor/The Bachelorette
    - Twilight
    - Star Wars
    - Magic Mike
    - 50 Shades

    OMG the last episode of the series was just so on. I was so worried about the direction the show was going on the final season and it ended just perfectly.

    @mrscorker I love the Duggers! A girl on my first BMB actually knows then IRL and I feel like I know them personally that way (in a weird, creepy, stalkerish way) haha. Part of me would love to have alone time with the girls and introduce them to the bad things of the world--like dancing haha.

    Just to add my two cents to all the tv show UOs....Hated GoT, hated OITNB, and didn't think Breaking Bad was all that great. I liked Dexter a lot more. Ooh, and I've never watched Mad Men (but would like to so don't be upset @peggyolsonftw)

    The girls seem like they are very nice people and I'm very live and let live so whatever floats their boat and makes them happy, whatever. I just can't get behind the homophobic crap that goes on behind the camera and I wish they had been given a broader perspective of the world so that they could make their own decisions about how they want to live. That being said, I don't get a say as to how random strangers raise their children. I guess because they're on TV, everyone thinks they get to have an opinion.

  • My UO is apparently our nursery colors because everyone seems to think I want to hear their opinion on them. It's grays and teal, we're team green. 
    Our nursery is already painted. Also grey and teal (and cream and white). We aren't team green, but gender neutral colors were what we were going for. That and - my favorite colors are those colors and babies don't get an opinion on their room yet. ;)

    We're not team green, but our nursery will be blues and greys regardless. Hubby gave me the go-ahead for a Star Wars nursery and blue has always been my mother's favorite color, so we all agreed blue is appropriate for a little girl too.

    My UO opinion: I think people who HATE the Kardasians are more annoying than people who LOVE them. Lol. I think they're useless and way too in love with themselves, but I don't think they're evil either. I can't stand when people say "I wish Kim K would just die!" Why would you say that about a human being? That's awful.  :|

  • Keeping with the theme I don't have a UO so much as a confession: I don't even know how to turn on our TV... Haha. 
    Having said that, there are a few shows I've watched online and my favorite is Mythbusters. I love everything they stand for. I watched the finale earlier this week and had a good cry.

    And a top. It's disturbing that I'm so familiar with her breasts.  :D

  • I get the Kardashian thing. I mean, they really don't cause me that much distress. I didn't even know who they were until a year or so ago. I never even watched a single episode of their show...not because I was actively avoiding it but more so because I didn't know it existed for the most part. The same with the duggars or honey boo boo

    I do not hate them, personally. I hate the Kardashians show. It seems pretty pointless to me and I don't know why they are paid so much for it. I don't necessarily want anyone to die, but I do agree with the clothes thing. If I wanted to see naked women, I would watch porn, not look to Twitter. 
  • Okay, I love the duggars, just because  watching game them is much like watching a slow motion train wreck. You just can't look away.
    I actually don't watch much tv, so I've never seen GOT, Mad Men, Parks and Rec, Big Bang or OITNB. 

    Reality TV like master chef or Survivor are more my thing. But usually  I miss half the episodes...
