Which TV shows, against your better judgement, do you always end up watching/enjoying.


TOP GEAR

I shouldn't like this - it has Jeremy Clarkson, I'm not a petrol head, it has obviously scripted "spontaneous banter". But I always go out of my way to watch it!

Hmmmm... Probably the Heaven and Earth Show...

Something i'm also guilty of..... Also Coronation Street is a big favorite of mine I never miss an episode if. I even talk about it as if it's real. I am aware this is very sad.....

Location, Location, Location, or Relocation, Relocation.

errr... Hollyoaks, I dont love it but it seems to pass the time.

I would agree with this.....Hollyoaks on a sunday morning in bed with a bacon sarnie has become a normal routine....

Saturday morning kitchen is even less cool, but I adore it!

Oddly, the ONLY TV show I actually watch at all these days is Eastenders. I love it although I generally hate all the people on it.

too many cooks, but i think its been canceled *chortle/tear*

What! Sat morning kitchen has been cancelled....how....why...I dont understand...how am I going to work out what I could cook for dinner parties when I eventually get round to having them!

Px

Oh... add to that "Wife Swap USA" and "Extreme Makeover USA"!

Oh yeah... old episodes of House Doctor!

Saturday Kitchen.

Worall Thompson is a little bearded twat, but there's something so positive an entertaining about the show. It makes me want to leap out of bed and be the next fat-tongued pseudo-cockney TV chef-faced boy.

I know! Its so embarassing....I get inspired Nigella moments....we end up spending lots of money going shopping for pork fillet and asparagus and then become so disappointed when it doesnt turn out the same as it did on the tele....

Life is hard sometimes....

Popular. There I said it. I'm not sure I feel better. But it's out there. Popular.

Whilst were in mid rant on cookery programs anyone seen the new daytime nigella program, were she's a fekkin agany aunt to D list celebs! as well as doing her strangly erotic maternal cooking.

Sugar Rush... It's utter repetitive bollocks, but I have to know what happens, otherwise they'll kill my whole family.

I loved Popular. It was brilliant. Brilliant I tell you.

There is nothing wrong with Anthony...

Bad Girls.

I'm so ashamed!

BB

Nip/Tuck. I know, I know it's "critically acclaimed" and all that....but Christ, I feel dirty after I watch it.

Property Ladder. In fact, anything with Sarah Beeny - I love that woman. She has the most condescending tone of voice of anybody ever and she knows exactly how to use it...."I think they're making a very big mistake..."

Ha! I'm not even a little bit ashamed - she was a hero in my house at uni. She made a whole street paint their houses green on her new show the other week - and it looked horrible! Ah, the Beeny rocks.


Oh, and I too like Top Gear.

Antiques Roadshow, Flog It, Car Booty etc etc

Pop Idol or whatever the current equivalent is

and Big Brother

Both Bad Girls and Big Brother. If they're wrong, I don't want to be right.

Neighbours.

I can't even kid I'm being ironic anymore. I love it!

Popular is ace. I didn't realise they still showed it.
Nip/tuck's also great- nowt to be ashamed about.

Sadly not anymore.

Mary Cherry was one of the greatest comedy characters ever.

Tammy Lynne Michaels (Nicole) married Melissa Etheridge.

Big Brother (i've sadly wasted alot of time watching all 6 series)
Grand Designs
Extreme Makeover Home Edition
Ground Force
Pimp My Ride UK

I like that aswell, even though Westwood should piss me off a lot more than he does.

My list includes:

Top Gear
Extreme Makeover (and the Home Edition)
Will & Grace
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (and UK version)
King of Queens
Dragonball Z
Pimp My Ride (both editions)
Wildboyz
Viva La Bam

King Of Queens is quality.

It gives hope to fat blokes every where. Also, Kevin James is a comedy god.

Thank you! I really like it. He's hilarious, and that hot chick whos his wife in it (i forget the name) adds some more spice.

I like that too, mainly because of the pain and the sheer scale of the projects.

Have you ever noticed how scripted the show is?

Well, duh.

Well, we don't have cable and I'm never in in the evenings, but back in the UK I used to love watching the following:

Saturday Kitchen
Queer Eye and Queer Eye UK
Extreme Makeover (and the Home Edition one)

Now all I've got is Judge Judy and Texas Justice. I want cable!

shuddup i was always under the impression that it was like jackass, having only seen one episode

I was never a fan of Viva La Bam, I kinda went off how he was actually quite cruel to his family. I know it was for a show but still I found it quite uncomfortable.

In a similar line, one of my guilty secrets is watching Dirty Sanchez, absolute stupidity. Saw them in Camden last year as they were filming their Christmas specials, Pancho is very small in real life.

I tried watching Dirty Sanchez - oddly enough, retitled Team Sanchez here in the States, I can't imagine why </sarcasm> - and it just didn't click for me. Too much pain, not enough humor. *shrug* The stinging nettles bit was rather entertaining, though. (OUCH.)

Was never a huge fan of Viva La Bam, either. I do like Wild Boyz, though, which is Chris Pontius and Steve-O travelling the world basically pulling the same shit they do on Jackass.... but with the natives. Guilty pleasure for sure. (They were always my favorites, though. I could watch Pontius do that gag where he strips off to the silver g-string and humps strange males in the street for hours. Don't ask why.)

[damn, I made a mistake. double post! Ack! Ignore!]

how could it possibly be considered bad taste to watch the angelic kirstie and her baldy lisping superhero boyfriend phil?

my guilty pleasure at the moment is definately big brother. go science.

Blinding, i loved that, was part of my saturdays



Nah, ill again not comment, i prefer everybody loves ramen.

Then again what do i know, i have some wierd liking for time team, scrap heap challenge, hollyoakand cash in the attic, oh and diagnosis murder and quincy . Its not very happy i can tell you

If it's wrong to like King of Queens, I don't wanna be right.




Hey,quite a lot of these admissions are pretty questionable if you ask me.

Oh, that's why I love Dirty Sanchez - much pain, less mugging for the camera. Plus, you get to spot Cardiff locations. I laughed till I was nauseous at the salt-and-vinegar-arse sketch.

I am now convinced that woman is made of scarfs and jumpers.

so cuddly

Not really a current show, but I always liked the 90's BBC s(h)itcom Chalke. It was about a Basil Fawlty-esque head teacher called Eric Slat, who got into all kinds of scrapes on account of him being so Basil Fawlty-esque.

Also, I believe I will be the only one who will say "I don't think Joey is too bad". I think it could benefit from a cumudgeonly authority figure character to shout "Joey!" whenever said Joey does anything wrong though. Also, it could use an exclamation mark in the title (making it "Joey!" - Do you see?)

Hello. I'm Kirstie Allsopp and I wasn't born, I was knitted!

My list:

House Doctor
Location, Location, Location
Relocation, Relocation
Property Ladder
Diagnosis Murder
Murder, She Wrote
Monk
Law and Order
Law and Order: Special Victims Unit
The Practice
America's Next Top Model
Charmed

And still I manage to get out of the house and have friends. Just.

Aint nothing wrong with those shows in my opinion. Actually i REALLY love America's Next Top Model. Tyra rawks!

I used to like watching Fishing with John Wilson. Which is strange because actual fishing is dull as fuck. As Jeremy Clarkson , how bad do things have to be at home for that to be better.

They are proper classics. though you missed off the immortal Quincy!

And as for Law And Order, I much prefer Law and Order: Elevator Inspectors Unit.
"The number five lightbulb isn't working"
"Oh, I think I'm gonna be sick!"

Wasn't much taken by the 1st season, but the second was fantastic. The advantage it has over Jackass (apart from being a little more extreme) is that you only have 4 people in it...you get to know their little areas expertise, rivalries and their characters a lot better than on Jackass.
