I'll kick off; I am completely hooked on the Great British Sewing Bee.
Top Gear. I know it's naff but it usually makes me smile.
Criminal Minds, utter bobbins and every episode is the same but will still watch it if it is on.
River Monsters - total shit. But novocaine-like
"Take Me Out".
I feel dirty now.
Antiques Road Trip - I just get drawn in every time it's on.
I wouldn't put it on myself but I have no problem with Mrs Pondo watching America's Next Top Model.
The Face, on the other hand, can do one.
First Dates.
It's actually really good so dunno if it could be classed as a GP.
Shed and Buried. Two old geezers retrieving old stuff from sheds. Love it.
Wheeler Dealers
Gogglebox. Half an hour of watching people watching the stuff I think I'm above watching.
NCIS. Great fun spotting David McCallum sneaking The Man From UNCLE references into the script.
Dinner date. There, I've said it 😳
EDIT. Its like Come Dine With Me only worse
Come Dine with Me. I have no idea why. I hate myself after watching. I guess the sarcastic narrator is quite funny.
Salvage Hunters.
Edit : Though I wouldn't pay a single penny for what he sells.
Extreme Couponing 😳
Homes under the Hammer.
Annoyingly addictive.
Recently:
Hardcore Pawn*
Alaskan Bush People
*Read it again properly. The second one is not a subset of the first.
ahem..Made in Chelsea. 😳 I know, I know.
River Monsters - total shit
Why?
Cooking shows for me
River Monsters is ace. Jeremy investigates reports of things that rip your arm off then lands the prime suspect - a two-foot catfish. But then again, I quite liked Robson Green's Extreme Fishing.
Ooh. Another one.
Mantracker! The older version with the tracker who says 'Bugger' a lot, because yanks don't realise it's a curse word.
American pickers much to the annoyance of my wife.
I've been known to sit through Extreme Couponing.
River Monsters is too good to be a guilty pleasure.
Count's Customs
Man vs Food
Spongebob Squarepants
Renegade ("He was a cop... and good at his job. But he testified against other cops gone bad...")
EDIT - Duck Dynasty
Ooh yeah Man V Food, good call
I hate sitting in front of the TV watching shite, for example Eastenders, Holby etc, the sort of stuff Mrs Wilko likes. But I'll happily sit and watch other shite, such as Dinner Date etc. Ooh, and the shopping channels - the infomercials are fascinatingly bad
River Monsters is too good to be a guilty pleasure.
Very true. Man Vs Food is too, if you treat it as more of a travelogue than a eating competition.
Used to be Arrow and The Flash. Since given up after watching Daredevil.
River monsters is absolutely dismal, the same thing every time including the psychological torment and journeys of self discovery Jezza departs on in every show.
But it is also awesome.
I can't think of anything I watch which makes me feel guilty. Sad eh?
If I get time at the weekend "4 In A Bed" on More4
Where they do all 4 B&B visit shows back to back, mainly as you get some proper odd ball personality traits that seem to crop up where people are utterly blind to their own faults
Great British Sewing Bee here too.
Best thing on telly!
It does help that wife is a sewer & kids creative.
Like sad gits we pick who we think will win & watch as a family eack week (iPlayer not live).
Come on Charlotte!
Geordie Shore - Crap but hilarious if you don't take it seriously.
How it's made - Dull, boring TV but oddly soothing.
Old cooking shows - Early Naked Chef, Floyd, anything really, again, I just find them very soothing.
Man v's Food I love but feel no guilt in doing so!
[I]Like sad gits we pick who we think will win & watch as a family each week [/I]
We definitely do not have an ongoing competition where a point is scored for correctly picking garment of the week and who's being eliminated, the points totted up at the end of the series and the loser making breakfast in bed for the winner. Definitely not.
It does help that wife is a sewer
🙂
Oh, OK.
Diners, drive-ins and dives
Any "serial killer" type programs
Ditto "people on benefits" type stuff.
Love a bit of crap telly me 🙂
I'm strictly highbrow and no soaps/reality/talentless but wanting fame/Davina shouting/thick chavs,Essex or posh people at play etc but
American Pickers and Deadliest Catch.
They seem to be on repeats now.
Do cheesy sitcoms count? Cos, (last one tonight) "Love, Nina". Can't miss it! I think I er, Love, Nina!
"Love, Nina". Can't miss it! I think I er, Love, Nina!
....until she goes all Terminator Waif and gets a bit stabby with knives? Haven't you watched Game of Thrones?
[i]Haven't you watched Game of Thrones?[/i]
Nope. Should I..?
Two broke girls - and the new series starts on Tuesday. 😀
How it's made - Dull, boring TV but oddly soothing.
+1
Back when we had a TV I used to enjoy similar programs like [i]Really, Really Big Ships And How They Get Them Loaded Up[/i] or whatever.
Also not-quite-good-enough Sci-Fi like Stargate.
Holby City,
Fast n' Loud
Wheeler Dealers.
Gun Rush, although I feel no guilt about this whatsoever, it's brillaint.
The Big Bang Theory and Brooklyn 99.
Big Bang Theory - actually, nothing to be guilty about there.
Gogglebox - there, I've said it!
Pretty much any Police/motoring/mechanical/engineering nonsense on Quest/Living/History type channels
When I was off sick for 4 months earlier this year I used to catch the last 15 minutes of Bargain Hunt every day as I sat down to have lunch. Eventually the medication kicked in and I was able to wean myself off it and go back to work.
Gogglebox. I am hooked.
I am actually thinking about pitching a programme where we get to watch people watching Gogglebox.
Gogglegoggleboxbox. Its a dead cert!
Eastenders
Fast n' loud
Wheeler Dealers
Impractical Jokers
"Take Me Out".I feel dirty now.
We watched Take Me Out for [i]months [/i]before we suddenly came to the realisation that we only had it on because I thought my OH wanted to watch it, and she thought I wanted to watch it...!
You know those "Traffic Cops" programmes? Why are they so easy to zone out to. If I find one on a channel I can sit there for ages just watching Cops v Chavs. It's such a waste of time!
Euro 2016.
Goggle box
Wheeler Dealers
and the current box set marathon - Under The Dome
Nothing wrong with Fast and Loud.
At parents and Alex polizzis Italian islands is on . It's quite good
Tattoo Fixers - awesome entertainment!
I like tattoos by the way - just not bad ones...
ncis both versions.
Gutted castle has now finished, and i love stuff like extreme pools, and tanked. Bunch of arse really but one of those things that it's easy to watch
Robson Greens Extreme Fishing 😳
(How the #### can fishing be extreme,but I just love it)
we've just binged watched the 2015 series of NZ masterchef over the course of a coupla days
Robson Greens Extreme Fishing
Is it just me that always reads it as "Robson Green's Extreme Fisting"?
Made for TV Christmas films on the budget film channels from October onwards 🙂
All the alibi stuff: castle, rizolli and isles, the closer etc. Anything cop or detective based.
There's nothing wrong at all with How It's Made. It's brilliant! It's fascinating finding out how things are made, most of the time it's the mundane stuff like tights or buttons or pencils where you learn something new about how they make them.
Forged in fire - history channel
Finding Bigfoot - discovery animal channel
Big brother there I've admitted it I know it's like a modern bedlam but I can't help myself every year I am going to resist and every year it gets me 😳
Castle
