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.

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

I am not ashamed to watch SF... just poorly acted/written SF.

Back in the day - Get Smart. ...and loving it.
