CONFESS!!!! What's your super secret guilty TV watching pleasure

[LynneSin]

I love celebrity dating shows - Flavor of Love, Rock of Love and even that Tila Tequila show (how is she famous anyways?)

I was so glad to see Ambre win Rock of Love, I believe they are still dating too!

[DaydreaminHippie68]

1. Not gonna lie

My favorite is american idol...I want jason castro to win.

[littlebit]

2. LOL...

Girlfriends 67 year old father is in love with that show. He calls her every tuesday night to discuss the performances.

[DaydreaminHippie68]

4. HAHA

That's funny, I was so pumped when they sang Beatles songs. I was usually on the phone with WannabeGrumpy and I was just criticizing how bad or good they did....I don't even want to perfom those songs when i'm alone..They're sacred

[flvegan]

3. Guilty: My favorite tv show isn't even American.

That show being Top Gear. Matter of fact, my love for BBC America grows fonder every day.

[Reverend_Smitty]

8. I love Top Gear!

the episode where they drive from Miami to New Orleans in those old beater cars was priceless

[kentauros]

49. I heard about that one and had to watch it on youtube...

David Tennant was on Top Gear tonight and there was mention of Billie Piper being on, but in a black see-thru top. I haven't seen that episode, so I have to wonder if it will make it to BBC America, or if they censor stuff like that, too. Still Tennant was funny and not half-bad in the "reasonably priced car" (which is a Chevy, I believe, and most think it's pretty horrible.)

There is a wonderful series of clips on youtube where they attempt to destroy a Toyota Hilux pickup by driving it into situations you wouldn't normally take such a vehicle. It is amazing what that truck survives!

Killing A Toyota
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

[kentauros]

12. I agree :)

Top gear is great! Although I still can't convince the local office-redneck-gearhead to tune in. Even sending him youtube videos doesn't garner any interest. Oil well...his loss.

I've semi-watched/listened to MI5 while doing chores. Have you checked it out?

[grannylib]

5. I'm with you on the BBC; I love "How Clean is Your House?" and I

wish they'd bring back Python, and some of the classic Brit sitcoms..."Good Neighbors" and "To The Manor Born" and all that good shit.

[Reverend_Smitty]

6. Every year I seem to get sucked into American Idol...

I say I won't, and I've never bought an album from any of the former contestants yet I keep watching that damn show

[madinmaryland]

7. "Ask This Old House"

:shrug:

[TZ]

17. Nice post, Bob Vila...

Or is that Tim Taylor....;-)

[madinmaryland]

24. It is Norm Abrams. Master Carpenter to you!!

:hi:

[LanternWaste]

9. I started watching Extreme Makeover- Home Edition a few months back

I started watching Extreme Makeover- Home Edition a few months back.

Can't help myself... I even tend to get a little misty eyed at the reactions of the parents seeing their new house for the first time and the children seeing cool their new bedrooms for the first times.

Sheesh... I've even been making it a point to watch it for the last few weeks. :eyes:

[lost-in-nj]

44. Can't watch it anymore

my eyes swell to

well you don't want to know



lost

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. I haven't had TV for about 5 years. Decided to get a satellite dish

and now I feel guilty about watching American Idol and Dancing With The Stars. I also like Dexter and Boston Legal and I am in love with Craig Ferguson :D

[pink-o]

11. Most of my friends being gay men

...have gotten me addicted to HGTV. I love House Hunters and Design to Sell, Curb Appeal, et al. Prior to discovering that channel, I didn't even like reality shows.

What I've lost my taste for is Sitcoms. Ever since Seinfeld left the airwaves, none has thrilled me. I like How I met your Mother and The Office well enough, but if I want to laugh my ass off, I'm gonna watch Stewart or Colbert.

[Forkboy]

13. Antiques Roadshow

The history of the stuff is usually pretty fascinating, even if it's just a damn chair. :)

[driver8]

14. I love that show!

I love when someone brings in a painting and it ends up being worth over $100,000!!

[Forkboy]

37. I love the history behind the stuff.

And some of the paintings are amazing. I can see why some fetch the prices they do.

[TZ]

16. My Dad LOVES that show

Of course he is an antiques dealer himself (Fenton glassware) so that makes sense...

[Forkboy]

36. He might be a tad biased.

;)

[Fox Mulder]

15. Any of the wrestling shows.

WWE Raw, ECW, Smackdown, and TNA Impact.

[johnnie]

18. Ummm.. Cheaters

It cracks me up. :D

I wait for it every Sunday night and get bummed if it is a repeat.

[Beer Snob-50]

19. Is rock of love with the guy from poison?

caught a part of a marathon of it once while drinking with some friends. there was a brunette who was getting a ton of shit from the rest of the girls (she was a lying sneaky bitch...) anyway, is she the one who won?

[LynneSin]

20. That was Kristy Jo - she ended up leaving on her own

Each year you're always going to have the emotional wreck. Turns out Kristy Jo was still technically married but separated. But at the reunion show we found out that Kristy Jo's soon-to-be-ex wanted a second chance.

Yes, that was with Bret Michaels of Poison. The woman who won was Ambre who was a blonde with the dark streaks underneath. I liked her because she was 37 and had her act together.

You have to appreciate that Bret takes himself all with a grain of salt. An interviewer asked him what was underneath his bandana and Bret replied with:

Michaels: My hair is combined of my hair and the finest extensions Europe has to offer. I do the show without it on all the time and they wont film me. They are like, "Put your bandanna back on. It is your image." It is my signature thing.

[LisaM]

21. Wife Swap. Thank goodness I don't really know when it's on.

Becaue if I'm there at the beginning, I always end up watching it. Pisses me off!

[Richardo]

22. I alluded to it yesterday... King of Queens reruns

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=7688622&mesg_id=7688622

I'm convinced Jerry Stiller ad libs 80% of his lines just to get the others to crack. Plus, Patton Oswald and Kevin James can deliver a line.

[Mojambo]

48. I find that show nearly irresistable to watch as well

It's quite odd.

Stiller is a comedic beast though.

There's a tremendously funny scene where Deacon and Doug are being forced to babysit the kids and Arthur while they are out on strike.

So Deacon's wife Kelly is dropping off all the supplies for the baby and she hands him the "butt cream." Arthur responds... "Butt Cream!? Where's this day headed?!"

It just floors me every single time I see it.

[1gobluedem]

23. ABC soap operas

I upgraded to digital cable just so I could get SoapNet.

[Iggo]

25. Witchblade.

I'm such a pev.

[Diana Prince]

28. Is this still on?

Are you talking about the series with Yancy Butler? I thought it was over because she had a drinking problem. I really enjoyed and was sad when it ended, everything was left in the air.

[Iggo]

30. The animated version on IFC. (n/t)

(boing)

[Rambis]

26. Extreme fisherman

A&E network- It is a hard dangerous life- I don't like watching dads leaving the family to go to sea because so many don't come back. I may have to stop watching because sooner or later somebody is going over the side.

[sinkingfeeling]

27. "Dancing with the Stars" - - I even phone in votes!!

[JCMach1]

29. Springer

God help me...

[MissMillie]

31. Golden Girls reruns

I love the Golden Girls. All of them.

[CatWoman]

32. these guys

[cynatnite]

33. On occasion...I watch a soap...

'Days of Our Lives'. Watched it off and on for years so now I catch up a couple of times a month.

[Miss Carly]

34. Rock of Love, Tila Tequila, Housewives of NYC, So you think your kids' a star

.......my double secret guilty pleasure....leave it to beaver...

CArly

[Tommy_Carcetti]

35. I occassionally will watch Desperate Housewives with my wife

And actually pay attention to the story.

Grey's Anatomy, on the other hand, I cannot stand.

[Skittles]

38. I guess The Andy Griffth Show

something about that long ago lifestyle with no computers and cell phones that appeals to me :)

[philosophie_en_rose]

39. So many: I'd Do Anything, Torchwood, Top Chef, Project Runway

And, last weekend, I even watched a marathon about "Real" Housewives in New York City. It was hideous and scary, but I watched the whole thing.

And I can watch the same episode of Top Chef so many times... It's pathetic.

[KSinTX]

40. I see one Desperate Housewives and a Boston Legal (me too)

but so far no "Bad Girls." Why, why, why do I do these things to myself? Oh, let's not forget the occasional Housewives of Orange County. I know, say it ain't so!! But now that it's NYC wives, not so much. Need a life, need a life.

[algol]

41. Shimmy, on FitTV

I'm really learning to belly-dance.

Honest.

Scout's honor.

Well, its a variation of belly dancing which, to the casual observer, is sometimes confused for staring and drooling.

[RubyDuby in GA]

42. How Clean is Your House and Robin Hood on BBC America

[lost-in-nj]

43. Little House on the Prairie

I cry every fucking time,,,,

but I LOVE it


:hi:

lost

[BulletproofLandshark]

45. Maury Povich

"You are NOT the father!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt2i0ts-uck

[Diana Prince]

46. BBC has the shows

You Are What You Eat, makes you feel good about what you eat.
How Clean Is Your House, you don't feel guilty because you haven't folded the laundry.

[Sheltiemama]

47. Mystery Diagnosis

I love the medical shows on Discovery!

[kskiska]

50. It's Me or the Dog (Animal Planet)

with British leather-clad dog trainer Victoria Stilwell. The dog owners are even funnier than the problematic dogs.

[clyrc]

51. The British soap Emmerdale

On Saturdays there's a two hour marathon I watch while I do laundry. In the US I watch the CBS soaps, the same ones I've watched every since I can remember.
