Almost all sitcoms - Seinfield had potential, sitcoms prior to the 90s weren't always bad. Nearly every sitcom sense then has been pretty degenerate in various ways - Friends is definitely one of the most degenerate, others such as Everybody Loves Raymond, the Big Bang Theory, Two Broke Girls are other good examples. This includes pretty much every 'animated sitcom'; I will admit I think that South Park sometimes has intelligent commentary even though it's primarily culturally progressive and nihilistic.
Much reality TV - The Bachelor is at least worth a psychological observation. The Bachelorette is basically 'cuckloid ****'. Most if not all 'reality TV' is scripted.
Game of Thrones - Very overrated, incomprehensible, and basically just progressive/nihilist/neoclassical economics propaganda masquerading as a show.
Anything on Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon - Not a cartoon buff so I might be missing some that are decent, however most of them are just even dumber versions of the typical sitcom format done in animation

Basically if you stick to anything which isn't a sitcom, cartoon, or reality TV you're sparing yourself from the bottom of the barrel. I haven't been able to get into a show very much since the Sopranos and Breaking Bad however - I tried watching Sons of Anarchy and found it enjoyable but the acting wasn't as good as the Sopranoes and didn't drag me into it.
