TV shows you know shouldn't watch but do

[friendly_iconoclast]

For me, it's "FBI Files" on Discovery Times. The cheesy reenactments, the droning narration and the shots reused four or five times just pull me in for some damn reason.

It's like "America's Most Wanted" as done by K. Gordon Murray.

1. CSI: Miami

It's irritating and yet fascinating at the same time.

[idgiehkt]

3. amen to that

and there is some mind control thing going on with the camera filters, too. Everything is so damn yellow, like sunshine...it's a weird effect. And their CSI lab is like a fun-house or something with all the glass. I'd love to know how much that set cost. And half the show is the hummer speeding somewhere. But you are right, it is still fascinating.

4. And David Caruso taking his sunglasses off, then putting them back on,

then taking them off, then putting them on......... B-)

[Patsy Stone]

6. You'll love this:

We watch it for his terrible acting as well as for our drinking game, "Name that location". :)

[idgiehkt]

9. I remember seeing that

it cracked me up, Carrey is dead-on.

:rofl:

I feel sorry for the guy that plays "Frank" on there...it must be hell to have to act with him.

[SeattleGirl]

13. ROFL!!!!! I did. I did. I did see a puddy cat.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

14. The music coming in each time...

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

16. Yep!

:rofl:

[TrogL]

39. It's a strategy

Sometimes he doesn't want the suspect to see his eye expression.

In other words, it's a tell. With them on, he's lying.

[Adsos Letter]

25. the CSI:Miami where they went down to Rio

looking for Caruso's (wife's, sister's?) killer; they had the colors saturated so much it was unbelievable yet irresistible.

And the lady who plays the medical examiner--Constant.Emotional.Overload

:D

[SeattleGirl]

27. His wife's killer, I believe. And yeah, the colors were incredible.

And then there's Caleigh. Is there anyone in the lab she hasn't had a fling with? B-)

[zanne]

35. You mean the M.E. with the really high voice?

Irritating.

[SeattleGirl]

29. Help me, help me! I'm watching it NOW!!!!

:rofl:

[Joe Fields]

2. the late night prison shows on msnbc. creepy, but I watch them anyway.

[Left Is Write]

5. Celebrity Fit Club.

[Lethe]

24. man i totally watch it

such a guilty pleasure

and Charm School too :D

[philosophie_en_rose]

26. Me too.

Dustin Diamond and New York are terrible.

[Patsy Stone]

7. Footballers' Wives

and America's Next Top Model. :blush:

[Decruiter]

8. COPS

Something in me wants to see how DUMB idiots are.

Even if I'm GUILTY, I'd let them take me in, instead of fighting arrest. I always have my lawyer.

Idiots.

[Patsy Stone]

12. When they come in

Please make sure you're wearing a shirt, 'k?

[SeattleGirl]

15. We don't usually watch it, but we were channel surfing one night, and

caught part of one episode. This guy, who was the epitome of white trash, drunk on his ass, kept trying to talk his way out of jail. "I'm a Merican. I'm a Merican."

We laughed our asses off at that. :rofl:

[enigmatic]

10. Late-night Infomercials

I can't help myself; I have them on all the time while I'm doing my show. My current favorite is the Time-Life Countrypolitan one w/ Glen Campbell, who looks like he walked out of a week-long drunk to make it down to the studio...

[Patsy Stone]

11. May I suggest QVC?

It's much better when it comes to ridiculous off the cuff descriptive statements; and the callers are a riot.

[enigmatic]

17. A friend loves QVC

He shares this kind of sickness for the insane kind of stuff, and he's been trying to get me to watch, if only for the celebrity hawkers. Who are your favorites?

[Patsy Stone]

19. Joan Rivers, and Jeanne Bice from Quacker Factory.

As for the hosts, there's a woman named Lisa Robertson, who we've nicknamed Miss All About Me!, and a guy named David Veneble, who says things like, "Oops! Just got my big goober fingerprints all over it!"

HSN has a few winners too: gotta love Susan Lucci, Sly Stallone's wife (can't think of her name), and Adrienne Arpel smearing make-up all over the model's faces. She tells people how old the women are, "Can you believe she's 62 years old???"

It's really about the callers. All these women who have to tell you that this is the BEST blue shirt in the world. They have twelve of them, and they bought one for everyone they know. Each product pitch is a five minute study in sociology. "And could you say hi to my niece in Omaha?"

It really makes you want to get a product to sell. :)

[enigmatic]

20. Oh boy

OK, you sold me! It's like Consumer Performance Art!:D

[Patsy Stone]

21. Absolutely

It's suspenseful too: what the hell are they going to say about this rabbit-shaped porch light for five minutes? :popcorn:

Enjoy. :)

[SeattleGirl]

22. Oh, what I've been missing!!!!

Hi ya, Patsy! :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

23. Hi, SG!

I should really be in bed, but I'm watching them talk about the Bug Chaser Insect Repellant Wristband (8-pack only $19.95 plus $3.95 S&H).

LOL.

In fact, I'm going to bed. See you tomorrow; sweet dreams.

[Bryan]

18. Hell's Kitchen

Gordon Ramsey isn't stupid; I assume he realizes that he's being set up with crappy cooks, but it's still fun to watch him lay into them anyway. "It's still pink in the middle, you f***ing donkey!" Ah, bliss.

[Skittles]

28. "Til Death Do Us Part"

with John Waters as the Grim Reaper - extremely cheesy but - oh well

[idgiehkt]

30. I really like that show

I want not to like it, but wow...I am fascinated by people who marry each other and seem so in love and then one ends up killing the other. My logical mind goes 'how does this happen'...

And I love the part at the end where he goes, 'well I have another wedding to attend, hope it's not yours"...

:rofl:

[Skittles]

31. I think John Waters makes it acceptable

because he is clear proof it is MEANT to be cheesy LOL

[peekaloo]

32. Dateline with the guy that looks like Macauley Culkin(in 30 years) and

robotic commentary by Ann (deer in headlights) Curry. 2 hours for a story that, usually, has no resolution......why bother?

[seaglass]

33. Kyle XY - I can't help it, I cried at the end of the season premiere.

My son said the show is for teenagers and thinks I'm a goof for watching it. Can't resist a story about a guy without a belly button.:-)

[Deja Q]

34. 'Family Guy'

[hellbound-liberal]

36. ABC Evening News, what a waste of 30 minutes, just like the rest of the corporate media.

It's just interesting to see how they will spin the daily miscues of the Bush misadministration.

[NoPasaran]

37. Dog the Bounty Hunter

Every episode is exactly like every other, there's no real action, but it's strangely fascinating.

[flvegan]

38. Animal Precinct or Animal Cops

Seeing what people have done/have allowed to happen to the animals on those shows really piss me off. I know I shouldn't watch them, but sometimes I can't help myself.

[treestar]

40. "Breaking Bonaduce" and that show about Chris Knight and his

younger woman!

:rofl:
