Not the person you asked, but I have the same general sense that most women would not find it a positive thing to list. Without making broad unsupported generalizations about women, I would suggest:
Anecdotally, my wife also dislikes the show.
I would suggest that listing broad categories of things you like is probably better than an individual thing. E.g., saying you like reading and listing a few authors isn't weird, but listing one single book seems a little obsessed.
That's all pretty close to what I'd say. It's not a popular show amongst women and trying to explain "No, Dan Harmon wrote some really poignant critiques about modern pop culture" is a losing battle when what everyone knows about the show is screaming Szechuan Sauce losers, Justin Roiland's general sex pest attitude, and generally gross content (including pedophile rape!) Don't start dating someone by justifying something they dislike, just sell the good parts about yourself
