Yeah I don't even bother with TV or most Hollywood films. What's the point? Predictable crap that will never better me or make me more interesting in idle chit-chat. Watched Lost on TV a couple of times and thought that if that is what entertainment is these days, then I'd rather plan a trip to Rwanda (seriously).

I've never seen a lot of crap.

But, I've never seen Star Wars. I've also never seen Lord of the Rings. I plan on reading the LoTR books before I try to watch the movie. And seeing as how I'm not really into science fiction/fantasy- that would be hard to do. But maybe someday.

If by "never seen" you mean never seen a full episode, then my list has many of the same ones the OP mentioned.

24
Prison Break
Desperate Housewives
Grey's Anatomy
Hill Street Blues
V
The Wire (don't even know what that is)
Sopranos
Just about all reality shows
Sex and the City (seen a few minutes a couple times but the narration is so annoying with its lame attempt to be philosophical and chic that I couldn't bear it)


Also, there many shows that I gave a shot and saw only one episode and concluded it was not worth watching. Examples would be
House
E.R.
basically any hospital drama
Gilligan's Island (saw once when I was in the hospital. They say laughter is the best medicine...sadly, this show was of no use.)

Movies:

After seeing "Roger and Me," I realized there was no reason to see any other Moore "documentaries." Do, missed Bowling and 9-11.

Gone With the Wind (I've seen part on TV, but never the whole thing.)

Haven't seen any Chapman movies.

Metropolis (I'd like to, though)

That Paris Hilton web movie everyone talked about a while ago.

Saw about 10 minutes of a Harry Potter movie and 10 of a Lord of the Rings one -- never read any of either. Yet they are so big I somehow know enough to talk about them or at least ask questions.

I watched a recent Simpsons episode on internet, based on "24" (having not seen "24" before). The Simpsons did not make it look appealing. I've seen CSI a few times, but really don't like it much. Saw Prison Break once, no interest.

There are many big ones in TV and movies I haven't seen I'm sure.
Sopranos, Grey's Anatomy, Num3ers, Heroes, .... don't know what "the Wire" or ""V" are.

Have not seen Citizen Kane either: could find it online I guess.

Watched "Lost" once or twice, wasn't intrigued enough to watch again.

Jurassic park....

Read the books....never watched the movies...

Fragglerock, some cartoon show from the 80s that practically everyone saw but me. I remember the look of shock on the faces of college classmates...

Harry Potter....NO!

Bridget Jones series....Girly crap!

Interview with the Vampire...

Read the book....saw about 5 minutes of the movie in a high school class....No thanks!

There are a ton more...I missed out willingly (or unwillingly) on a lot of movies and some TV shoes....

Seen just about everything that everyone else has mentioned, and I'll say, aside from Citizen Kane, you're not missing much.

I haven't seen Spidey 2. No plans to see 3. Same with Pirates 2, 3. I refuse to see the final Star Wars movie due to the intense crappiness of the previous two.

Any popular TV show that came out within the last five or so years. Outside of the new Doctor Who, that is.

The only "reality" show I've ever watched with any regularity was American Chopper. But even then I gave up after a season.

I've seen parts of the Titanic out of the corner of my eye but never watched it purposely.

I can't remember watching 'Thundercats' as a kid, but my uni mates have called me a liar on that so many times I'm starting to doubt myself. I didn't even tell them that I had no recollection of transformers.

Pretty much anything on tv now except for the wire, CSI, sopranos, deadwood and assorted comedy.
