Are these any shows/movies that you like/hate that seems to be against popular opinion?
For me it's 30 Rock. I have watched several episodes and haven't laughed yet. I just can't seem to get into it. I want to because of how greatly reviewed it is, but I just don't like it.

Family Guy....by far its the most intellectually- disabled and pointless show Ive ever seen in my entire life. Yet people look at you like you're weird when you say you dont watch it. Ive never been a big fan of the "cartoon comedy" after the Simpsons

Ive never been a big fan of the "cartoon comedy" after the Simpsons I'm with you, I can't stand Family Guy/American Dad, though I can see what they're trying to do some of the time, it's just not funny to me. I'm a big fan of Whose Line..., but the people I've spoken to about it and know it say it's such a lame show...

I'm with you on the Family Guy. Highly overrated.

Hate: Family Guy- I thought it had its moments in the beginning but I just don't get it now.
American Dad- Horrible show
Star Wars- I could understand if it was a cult classic but I don't get why it is so big.
X-Men- They should be doing a re-boot of this because they pretty much sh** in the faces of every guy who grew up reading X-Men comics or watching the cartoon.
Like: Spiderman 3- A part from the weird dancing scene I thought it was okay. Not the best of the series but it had some memorable moments.
Whose Line is it Anyways- I tried introducing the show to my friends...I was laughing hysterically while they just kind of looked at me like "you find this sh** funny?"
Roseanne- One of my favorites.
White Chicks- Stupid...but funny.

Rocky Horror Picture Show. If you're saying you hate it then get the **** out! jk. maybe. I agree with Harley on Drive, though. Didn't like it at all. It had like 29 words spoken in it.

Any season of Heroes other than the first. I liked them all.
Also, Beverly Hills Cop III.

If we're talking popular opinion among our peers, then there's really only a few things.
If we're talking popular opinion among the general population in America, then the list would be a mile long.
For starters, I can't stand pretty much any TV on CBS. Particularly, the cop/detective dramas like CSI and NCIS. I find them hokey, boring, repetitive and more or less unwatchable. People love them, though.
I also hate baseball. I hate watching it. I hate talking about it. In school, I hated playing it in gym class. I hate everything about it. I never used to be a sports guy at all when I was younger, but I started growing into it as I got older. I follow football religiously, and watch basketball and hockey in passing, but I can't stand baseball.
I'm from New England, deep in Red Sox Nation. Let's put it this way, the Red Sox could be all tied up in the 9th inning of the 7th game of the World Series, and I wouldn't even flip the channel to check the score.

SHows or movies that I don't care for that many people I know do:
- How I Met Your Mother - Friends - Rocky Horror Picture Show - Monty Pyton - Lost - House - Bones - CSI (any incarnation) - Big Bang Theory (everyone says I SHOULD love it as a "geek" but I don't) - Forrest Gump - True Blood

Hate:
- Forrest Gump and Cast Away. Tom Hanks is great, I think those two movies suck though.
- Seinfeld, The Office, and Jersey Shore
- Most 1st person shooters like Halo and Call of Duty. Bioshock and Gears get a pass from me but that's about it.
- 3D Movies. It doesn't better my movie experience, at all.
- The Godfather trilogy and Scarface
- The Kardashians
- Seth Rogen
- I think Anne Hathaway as Catwoman has to be one of the worst casting choices in recent memory, as you should be required by law to actually have sex appeal to play the character. The casting for the Spider-man trilogy was also atrocious.
- Politically Correct America
- Tim Tebow
Like:
- Jumper, Next, and The Island were all great. I love suspense Sci-Fi flicks.
- Green Lantern, GI Joe, Daredevil, and both Tomb Raider movies. Watchmen and From Hell were both amazing imo.
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Secret of the Ooze is my favorite, not the first.
- Suits and White Collar are two of my favorite shows. USA shows do not suck imo.
- Heroes, The OC, Dawson's Creek, Prison Break, and Smallville were all great from start to finish imo.
- Edward Norton was a far superior Bruce Banner than Mark Ruffalo. I get it, Hulk was funny in Avengers, Norton was still better.
- A-Rod and T.O. are two of my favorite athletes of all time
- Pauly Shore movies
- I generally enjoy sequels or continuation stuff that people tend to sh*t on like S. Darko, Boondock Saints II, Escape from L.A., Alien Resurrection, Scream 4, Problem Child 2, and Caddyshack II.
- I also enjoy plenty of remakes like The Wicker Man, Planet of the Apes (2001), Willy Wonka, Rollerball, and Last House on the Left. I think the Italian Job and Clash of the Titans were down right awesome.
I'm sure there are a ton more for both categories if I were to think about it longer.

Apparently enjoying Patrick Stump's solo album is not of popular opinion. So I'll say that.

Apparently tons of fans would show up to his shows and just yell **** about how Fall Out Boy was better and that he should "stick to what he's good at." It's a great breath of fresh pop air in my opinion. It's called Soul Punk, in case you are looking it up.

Gavin Rossdale comes to mind even though he found success with the one song. I don't mind change of pace stuff like when Weiland did 12 Bar Blues though.

That reminds me of another choice. Panic at the Disco - Pretty. Odd. great ing album, in my opinion. why it got so much backlash, i'll never know. lord forbid a band or artist, as you mentioned, try a new sound.

Seeing as some people are mentioning albums, I should throw one out there.
Taking Back Sunday - New Again.
Everyone I know (including the band) hates that record with a passion. I still thought it sounded like Taking Back Sunday and had plenty to offer. I still listen to it regularly.
