My wife occasionally watches "Scorpion". I can't watch for more than ten minutes before they do something so monumentally stupid and try to pass it off as science that I have to leave the room. At least MacGyver was believable, no?

Thought this thread would be about "The Big Bang Theory". That show is offensively dumb.
Pretty much all of television is like that. I've given up on them.

FWIW, "blackish" and "Fresh Off The Boat" are two very smart comedies.
I still like Elementary and The Blacklist, too. Far-fetched, but well-thought-out.
at least it's not reality tv, actual stupidity trumps scripted stupidity
In reply to drummerfromdefleopard:
FWIW, reality is "scripted actual stupidity". The "characters" are usually insufferable, too.
I pretty much stick to dr who, American dad, top gear (rip), and anything with Anthony bourdain in it
Edit: top chef junior gets my vote too. Those kids are flipping amazing.
Here is what I stick with: Simpsons, Family Guy, Black List, Fresh Off the Boat, Hawaii Five-O, Blue Bloods, American Pickers.
Here is what Mrs. DX and I watch together: Night Shift, Chicago Fire, Chicago PD.
For a smart show about geniuses, check out Silicon Valley, start from the beginning. Silicon Valley, South Park, and Better Call Saul is pretty much all the TV I watch.
Silicon Valley is to die for lol. If you've worked in and around academia, plus nerds all your life, it all makes sense.
I've been watching Mystery Science Theater 3000 off and on for the past month.
Um, I watch Roadkill on YouTube and that's about it unless WEC is streaming LeMans...
does Ancient Aliens fit into this discussion at all?
those seem like some pretty smart people that have some pretty dumb ideas..
I thought this was going to be about cspan
Silicon Valley, Best Bars in America, Brew Dogs, Game of Thrones, Strike Back, House of Lies, Shameless, Last Week Tonite.
Beyond that, just movies.
I thought I was enjoying last man on earth but now can't sit through the opening 5 minutes. The main character is a dick so I just don't care what happens to him and when a show gets too predictable I actually can't watch it.
I really hope Man seeking woman gets another season. That show constantly surprised me.
