Almost all of them as I don't watch television much. American sitcoms with canned laughter are just not interesting to me.
I do read comic strips though and there are quite a few there that seem to be completely devoid of interest of any kind. Zippy the Pinhead was considered a cult when I was at MIT. But to me its just an Emperor's new clothes situation. People pretend to find it interesting because it is considered uncool to point out that it is just crap.
The Office (UK version) for me too. In fact, anything with Ricky Gervais. Most over-rated "comic" ever. I think it's the way he obviously thinks he's so funny that really irritates.

That show immediately sprung to mind. I've watched about 10 minutes of one episode, that was enough.
I saw a couple of Friends episodes. I too thought it was awful. Sometimes, a show isn't funny but I at least can see where the humor's coming from. But Friends just confused me.
At the time, I was thinking that maybe I just happened to catch the absolute worst episodes they ever did. But the one guy with the monkey was like the whiniest character in a sitcom, ever, and just seems inept. And the guy who is supposed to be 'hot' from what I can tell, has about a half can of grease in his hair and sports about a 60 IQ., but he's not as retarded as the tall blonde lady, who I thought maybe was intended to appear retarded. Jen Anniston's character was bitchy without being funny. So that left Courtney Cox's character and the guy that's in Go On now to basically carry the show as the only two likeable characters. And they live in a giant ass apartment in New York, yet nobody seems to have a job. Very strange.
That Seventies Show & How I Met Your Mother, both are ridiculously stupid. And how idiotic to cast Neil Patrick Harris as a straight man, I never bought into that move.
The Office Ricky Gervais...Now that was an example of Emperor's New Clothes Byronlord. Oh and whilst I think about it, Matt Lucas has talent and David Walliams can turn any situation around with his timing,but I have to say I didn't find Little Britain at all funny, I remember going to work and the whole office wetting their knickers at the previous nights episode, I just sat in the corner and reminisced about Sykes! and laughed to myself.
Got to disagree with Her Spriteness, about CSI. IMHO, that David Caruso is LOL funny. ;)

I have to agree with whoever mentioned Mash...I never got into that show...maybe I just never watched it enough to get into it, but what little I did I found a bit rough...
