Same rules.
Trace and I watch this every Saturday morning, and yell at the screen....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdzNN8rjOo0
I watch that and POWER RANGERS on Saturdays; I have no excuse.
When I think about it though, the actual most stupid thing I switch on regularly has to be THE TODAY SHOW.
That Metal Show. I love it, but it's three nerdy guys discussing heavy metal, a weekly top five list, and interviewing metal bands.
The Office. It's become so bad.

WWE
I watch Storage Wars in all its forms...
Haunted Collector. Honestly, I don't really buy into a lot of it but it suckers me in. Maybe because I'm a collector and believe the spiritual world is all based on energy.
I love Haunted Collector and The Haunted and Ghostly Encounters...I find myself drawn into these kind of shows even though a lot of them do seem like exaggerated nonsense...
Also tend to like shows about Bigfoot, UFOs, Bermuda Triangle, etc.
Judge Judy
2 Broke Girls...other than the fact that they're trying to get their donut business off the ground, what other entertainment value does this show have to offer? :buggedout:
Honey Boo Boo...
Trace has taken to watching these on Qubo Nite-Owl....

Yeah I did. And I'm somewhat suspicious about how much of that might have been staged. People with their business practices would logically have been out of business LONG before Gorden could have shown up.
Power Rangers Megaforce.
I don't know the name of the show, but it's just some really chunky guy sitting on a couch or something. He wears headphones and occasionally fiddles around with a remote control or a video game controller. It's really kinda boring, but it's oddly amusing at how pathetic this guy is. Strangely enough, he looks familiar. In fact, he looks like...oh s**t, I've been watching my own reflection in the TV screen.
Man, I've got to get a supporting cast and sexy guest stars.
Restaurant Impossible and Call of the Wild Man.

Circuses should be fun, not freakshows. Maybe they should call it
America Got Issues or maybe
America Got Jack Squat.
Is it obvious I dislike "reality" programming? I try so hard to keep that on the down-low.

YYYYEEEEEEESSSS!! I love me some Turtleman!! I wish TV was Turtleman 24/7. I don't have cable anymore, but I caught Call of the Wildman on my mom's TV and I was hooked from the first second. Maybe it's stupid, maybe it's genius, maybe it's a little fake, but I can't get enough. I want to be turtleman.

My wife loves this show, for some arcane reason, and I'm stuck watching it with her; were I the husband in the series, I would have planted Hyacynth in the garden long ago.

Her next series after this, and proof that she was a dramatic actress as well as a comedienne, was the British mystery series "Hetty Wainthropp Investigates," which ran, apparently, for two seasons and 27 episodes on Brtish TV. Plus being shown here in the U.S. And her right hand man in all 27 episodes was Dominic Monaghan, who was Merry in "Lord of the Rings."
And if a character is irritating for some reason, when most actors and/or actresses are not in real life, I tend to think of it as a quality acting job by him or her, as they are acting against type.
Steve Irwin > Turtleman - just sayin :wink:

You're on drugs; KEEPING UP APPEARANCES is awesome.
I watch PAWN STARS, KITCHEN NIGHTMARES, STORAGE WARS, and COPS. But I have a feeling MASTER CHEF JUNIOR is going to top them all.

That looks great! Thanks for the heads up!
I agree with ChaosTheory, Keeping Up Appearances rules.
I've starting watching Breaking Amish...that can be pretty dumb.
I saw the pilot for Siberia & thought to myself, "How many times have I seen this before?", & haven't bothered since.
I just finished watching the loathsome pilot for Dads & thought to myself, "How many times have I seen this before?"
I have no idea how I got hooked on Once Upon A Time. The Simpsons is better.
I'm still stuck on Ghost Adventures. Hilariously bad before you even start watching it, because they broadcast it on The Travel Network! If your idea of a great vacation spot is an old abandoned maximum security prison in rural Pennsylvania or an abandoned insane asylum, then this is your show!
I guess there are supposed to be ghosts in this show, but I lived in an actual haunted house not too long ago, and I'm sorry but real ghosts don't act like that. They typically act like any other real person that walks in and out of a room, except that in my case you never see them, and they tend to act like wild animals in that if you leave them alone, they generally don't give a rip about you.
I generally watch Ghost Adventures for the bad acting, which anyone that visits a site like this is bound to enjoy. If I were walking behind these fools in a dark building, I would be the one flicking quarters or throwing pebbles at them just to laugh at them as they yell and look around panic-stricken. Why do things look so much funnier in night vision?
Sons Of Anarchy what use to be a good show has over the past three seasons become nothing more than a let's screw with the main premises in order to get ratings via cheap shock ploys and have any excuse to throw in transvestites and gay sex :buggedout:
I sadly have to nominate the TV show Castle which I watched religiously until the stupid episode where Castle talked about there only being two things he knows about South Africa, those being racial hatred and diamonds. I stopped watching it after that episode. :thumbdown:

Yeah, people are ignorant about South Africa and South Africans aren't they, Trevor? It is, though, one of those places that I have yet visited that I need to visit one of these days. We can also say that Castle seems to be ignorant of this website, as he should have said he knows only three things about South Africa . . .
(1) racial hatred
(2) diamonds
(3) and your smelly undies.

Thanks for the link, alanhopewell.
My family use to watch the networks burn off the unsold pilots during the summer, and our comment was that what we were seeing was actually better than the pilots for the TV series that were sold for broadcast on TV.
Actually, one of the unsold pilots "Nick Knight" was basically retooled and shown on TV as "Forever Knight," but with a different actor in the lead role. And a couple of the other unsold pilots struck me as something similar to what was seen on TV.
"Hurricane Island" and "Stranded" remind me of "Lost," but with ship passengers instead of plane passengers, and "A Little Bit Strange" seems to be a male version of the popular "Bewitched." And, certainly, it couldn't be worst than that godawful sequel to "Bewitched," which was "Tabitha."
But none of them come up to some of the strangest unsold pilots and/or short run series on British TV. There was actually a "Judge Dee" series in 1969 on British TV. Though, it only ran for 1 season or 6 episodes.
Then there was the spin-off from "Doctor Who," which never got pass the pilot stage, which was "K-9 and Company" with Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith and John Leeson as the voice of K-9. I have seen it, and I quite enjoyed it. Though, there seems to be shortage of female virgins in the UK, as the virgins used in human sacrifice in the UK, always seem to be young males. Which reminds me . . .
Not an unsold pilot, as 7 episodes were made, but it might as well have been an unsold pilot, as only 2 episodes were ever seen and then due to extreme, which is an understatment, press and public reaction, no more episodes were seen. Though the other epsiodes apparently still exist in some vault or the other. I brought up virgin above, because the virginal boy scout, played by Chris Pitt, in "Lair of the White Worm" was a regular on "Hardwicke House." Probably the best known name to Americans on the show was Roy Kinnear who played the school principal on the show, which I have seen and quite liked.
But none of those equal . . . it is 1938. It is Berlin, Germany, and Hitler and Eva Braun live next to a Jewish couple in a wacky sitcom called "Heil Honey I'm Home." That one I have never seen.

And koalas. Let's not forget them. :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:
Joking aside, when are we gonna get a real horror movie with koalas? I can see it now: "In the bush, there can only be slow, slow death. KOALAS! Coming June 20...urm, sometime after we wake the little buggers up."
And, no, I don't count Executive Koala as a horror movie, so don't even go there.
Helix but I'm hoping it'll get better and slightly less predictable
Keeping Up With the Kardashians. I have no idea why I still watch it.
DIVORCE COURT. It does make me feel better about my eternal single status though.

I second that.
Also watching the 2nd Season of The Following. The first season got pretty dumb later on, so I don't have high hopes for this one.
My Strange Addiction
My favorite was the lady who ate dry wall. Her daddy forbid her from coming over because she was eating big holes in his walls.
Any news broadcast.
To my surprise it isn't The Following...it's the BBC Show The Musketeers
UFC things that aren't fights. I've actually watched a few weigh ins.
KING OF THE NERDS, of course!!
BAD INK. Two douches in Las Vegas go around finding people with hilariously bad tattoos and send them to their shop to get cover-ups.
I don't know why I find ink shows so addictive; I don't even have any tattoos of my own. :lookingup:

LA Ink and always wondered why Kat Von D - a really pretty lady, IMO - felt the need to cover herself in tattoos. :question:
Anyone watched the pilot for The After (made by Chris Carter (X-Files)) another Amazon Original? Dumb as f**k, but you just wanna know what's going to happen next. Unfortunately it's not clear at this point if there even will be a series.
This mind-numbing Aussie show, which was mind-numbing back when I first saw it in '69....
skippy the bush kangaroo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3HkUKoGoc4#)
I watched the entire "Opposite Worlds" reality show on SyFy. After every episode I'd be like "That's it, I'm never watching that again." Then the next episode would be on and...I'd watch it.
I'm also strangely drawn to those hillbilly shows like Moonshiners and Appalachian Outlaws. I dunno they're just funny. Like "That would be a really stupid thing to do. Yup, he's gonna do it." :bouncegiggle:

Couldn't be any worse than this guy, but old Lancelot was funnier. We used to watch this one all the time.
Lancelot Link Secret Chimp Intro (the 70's) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d5dKBMK5mo#)
Hells Kitchen is by far the most exploitative, half-truth, reality TV nonsense I watch but I can't help it it amuses me. My buddy and I used to watch it all the time when we were stoned and I made a habit of watching the first 10 or so shows of every season.
Uncle Grandpa. Totally stupid, but I guiltily admit I enjoy it.
A couple here:
Lizard Lick Towing: rednecks repoing vehicles from other rednecks, hillarity ensues.
Mountain Monsters: a gang of hillbillies go after Bigfoot, Mothman, the Lizard Man,etc. EVERY week...build some kind of Wyle E. Coyote like trap to catch them and always just miss capturing their prey..a trainwreck each & every time.
I get a kick out of Mountain Monsters and Finding Bigfoot. They're dumb but surprisingly fun shows to watch. Much better show though is Monsters and Mysteries.

Yeah. But the meals do look...interesting. :tongueout:
I hate everything on tv since 1990-91 so all of it.
I only watch 4 shows now. Don't have the time to watch dumb shows.
Wife Swap is often dumb but Celebrity Wife Swap is even dumber than that.
The 100 which as I suspected is turning into a teen drama / soap opera, it's still better than helix though :tongueout:
