Shows you are ashamed of... (bad TV not-so-anonymous)

12-02-2006, 12:59 PM

That you love to watch, even TIVO/taping.
Breaking Bonnaduchi, train wreck. I know why, it makes me feel MUCH better about who I am and the daily decisions/impulse control that I make/have.
Since it is "real" somewhere in my addled "brain" (still not sure about that since the aliens had at me) I can say I am different than soap-opera divas.

SG1, just good-ol' bad show that I ended-up hooked-on because it was the least of many evils while I was too ill to get-up and get a DVD. It was not my fault. If you were fed crack in bed for two weeks, you would get hookded... DON'T JUDGE ME FUCKER! I'll cut ya'

Battlestar Galactica, just denial, I tell myself it is not bad. I must not go back and re-watch it in a few years, because I will know the plot (not be into it) and see it for the button-pushing, standard formula show, on a larger scale, that it is... nope-nope... not gonna' do it.

Project Runway and Top Chef on Bravo. Actually, I don't feel so bad about Top Chef. But Project Runway? What was I thinking???

I really love watching Crazy Reverend Gino.

There is never shame in the desire for Star Trek (TOS) I wear my geekdom with pride.

I don't embarrass easily.

I guess I'll fess up to these 2 shows as well, before LJ dimes me out - but keep in mind that he watches them too!! But he wouldn't if I didn't go and buy them on itunes...

I watched a couple of Top Chefs... too many whiny bitches for me. A lot of them would not have cut it in my kitchen. How do they work?

Trilby · 12-02-2006, 02:13 PM

Law&Order:Criminal Intent (I've got the hots for D'onofrio) and SVU (I've the hots for Melloni)

Unwrapped on the food channel (30 min. of how your Cheez-its, Gummy Bears or Lil' Debbies are made and similar)

I Love the 80's on VH-1.

The Simpson's--twice a day on week days--6pm and 7pm. Some people think I should be over it by now.

12-02-2006, 03:24 PM

Ok... I did watch I love the 70's.

Nobody said "Hi Rob"

Dr. Who -- the Tom Baker years.

Mind of Mencia -- it was on after Colbert, and I just couldn't help watching. Like a road accident.
Nigella Lawson's show -- soft-focus food porn, with a British accent to boot.

SteveDallas · 12-02-2006, 09:30 PM

I'm not currently watching anything to speak of.... but I used to enjoy Taildaters when it was on MTV. I suppose I'll at least rent the DVDs if they ever put them out. (Worse garbage has made it to DVD, so who knows?)

Clodfobble · 12-02-2006, 09:38 PM

I have occasionally watched an episode of "Parental Control" on MTV when my husband has control of the remote. What a godawful program, yet I am unable to get up off the couch and leave the room.

DucksNuts · 12-02-2006, 10:26 PM

Farscape - the lead dude is hot!!

The OC - I know, I know...i'm sooo tragic!!

Grey's Anatomy - mmmm Dr. McDreamy

Hagar · 12-03-2006, 01:40 AM

The Simpsons.

Over and over again...

[edit] BTW, while watching the Batman movie (1966) today, I realized that David Caruso went to the Adam West School of Acting.

Red Dwarf - Cockney culture, bad jokes starting with bathroom humor and descending rapidly, junk science fiction, and cheap-ass special effects.

Babylon Five - Formulaic, but on a scale that makes Battlestar Galactica look like the Power Rangers. (ooh, culture wars:p)

Eureka - Geek heaven.

I have at times watched Desperate Housewives and the O.C., but with a degree of randomness and inattention that I believe gives me political cover.

Happy Monkey · 12-03-2006, 03:52 PM

Why is everyone (except wolf) ashamed to watch science fiction? What's wrong with you all?

wolf · 12-03-2006, 06:16 PM

Anybody who was born before Star Wars grew up being told SF was crap they shouldn't watch. Stuff that you learn in your early years like that tends to stick, hard.

Aliantha · 12-03-2006, 06:29 PM

I have to say, Battle Star Galactica doesn't rank very highly on my list of must watch shows, but hubby sometimes stays up to watch it. I personally think it's probably the worst sci-fi show I've ever seen. What were they thinking when they did the remake???

I'm addicted to The Bold & The Beautiful. I think that takes the cake for 'The Tragic Award'.
