Is there a show you won't let your kids watch because you hate it?

Question

I don't put my son in front of the TV. In fact he won't even sit through a whole show. He does like Sesame Street and Caillou though. I refuse to let him watch Barney, Super Why, Thomas the Tank Engine, or Dora though. Those shows get on my last nerve. 
Are there any shows that drive you crazy so much that you won't let your kids watch them or limit the viewing?

Barney is a never in my house, Sponge Bob- I think he teaches kids to be smart a**es and disrespectful to others, and Dora just gets on my last nerve.

We used to refuse to put the tv in Caillou or Barney or Cat in the Hat because they were so awful. These days though, with a 2 year old and six month old, if my son wants to watch Barney for half an hour while I try desperately to get the dishes washed or some other chore done as fast as I can, he can watch it and if it keeps him happy for a few minutes I'm grateful. I no longer care whether a particular kids tv show is annoying to me.

I hated barney but I did let my kids watch it because of the music aspect of it. I am not selfish when it comes to my kids. Unless the show is negatively affecting THEM or it is violent, gross, etc. they can watch it.

The Fresh Prince Of Bell Aire annoys the ever living crap outta me. It's banned in our household. Fortunately my kids don't like it either, so no big loss!
