[SIZE="1"]Honestly, popular tv shows are popular because they merely become a fad and people look beyond their many flaws that are hidden under it's major popularity.
The hatred for a certain TV show can also include the fandom as you can rant here about them as you wish. Due to not watching many TV shows, I don't have much of an opinion about many of them.
I'm honestly not a fan for My Little Pony, nor it's fandom. And before you come to me and this thread ranting about how I'm a "hater" please note that I will back up my statements and you will be embarrassed. I honestly don't understand why people other than the designated age group for this show enjoy it. Sure, it's cute, but it's intended for kids. For the adults and teenagers that do happen to watch this show, you're simply over-analyzing a show that was meant for kids and you're now merely molding something into your own that was never intended to be such. If you do happen to like MLP, why do you like it? Because it's cute? Well, in my opinion that's not much of an answer.
However, I believe that Adventure Time is watchable. I'll watch it when it's on when I happen to be flipping through channels, but I will not go out of my way to watch the whole darn marathon if there is one. I've only seen a handful of episodes so my opinion on it can only go so far. The show is decent, but oh god the fandoms just blow these shows out of proportion.
Fandoms, guys. Fandoms.
Discuss.[/SIZE]

Family Guy. It isn't funny anymore. I'll watch old episodes, but new episodes are just dumb. All of its running gags are pretty much dried out.
Supernatural. I don't even see it as a show about two brothers who hunt down the things that bump in the night while searching for their father anymore. Now it's become a show about two hunky guys that occasionally take their shirts off, and die and come back to life more times then I can count.
Also, I can't speak for everyone, but I think the writing is pretty good on My Little Pony. I don't watch it, and I'm not exactly a fan, but I saw an episode or two and I thought they were kinda funny.

Two and a half men - It's one of the unfunniest shows I've seen.
(Modern) Family guy - It's not even funny anymore. It's all violence.
The Cleveland Show - Not funny.
Any Fox sitcom that's not That 70's Show. In fact most Fox shows. - Their sitcoms are really unfunny. Their other shows are just bad.
Disney cartoons shows that's not Gravity Falls. - Disney Cartoons suck in general.
The Annoying Orange - .
Every show on Nickelodeon right now
Dr. Who - A show targeted to all the neckbeards and people who claim their nerds.
Big Bang Theory - See above.
Every show on TLC / Most "reality" shows.
As for fandoms go The Walking Dead.
Not saying all of their fans are bad, but most from what I've seen cannot shut the fuck up about the show. It's a good show, not one worth mentioning every day. The fans of the comics don't react this way about the comics.

I really dislike Family Guy and everything that is related to it. I never once thought it was funny, and while people tell me that I'm not the target audience, I don't buy it.
I don't even understand why the Big Bang Theory is so popular. The humor isn't funny in my opinion and the audience laughter just makes the entire show annoying. Don't forget, BAZINGA~!
While I don't like most modern American cartoons, I don't hate them "the most"-- also, I don't watch them so I can't really say anything about them.
[SPOILER="MLP"]I don't hate it. I just don't like most of it's fans. I don't hate it because I feel like it's America's equivalent of Anime's "cute girls doing cute things"... but instead of girls.. it's... ponies. I watch the anime series Pretty Cure (and I think it's not even close to being targeted to adult males) and I'm a big fan of it, so I don't think I can say much negative things about MLP without being a hypocrite.

Two and a Half Men. My parents used to watch it a lot and I tried to tell them how utterly stupid and sexist the show was because of how some of the female characters were portrayed.
TMZ. I cannot tell you how much I loathe that show. My parents love it, but I've just got some problems with it. Like who really cares if this celebrity did that, or someone said something? Then again, I'm not much into celebrity gossip.
Family Guy. I don't watch it much anymore, but I can see how terrible it's getting when I do happen upon an episode.

Awe, I like Dr. Who. It's so campy but funny and...I may have cried somewhere down the line. Ehe...
Mmm...
TMZ. So many things that just shouldn't be entertainment. Just leave people alone, they have lives too, and just because they choose to entertain us doesn't mean we should try to suck entertainment out of every aspect of their life.
The second half of Legend of Korra. It makes me angry and I hate the way it ends. Don't get me started on Mako. Such an asshole.
