What's the worst TV trash you like to watch?
 
TV is crap. We should all kill our televisions. But in the meantime, there's some real guilty pleasures to get wrapped up in, especially when it's summertime and it's too hot to go outside.

At the top of my list would be that stupid Supernova wanna-be-in-a-band contest (sorry, I can't remember the name of the show). Wow, what a lot of poseur loser whiney-baby no-talent wankers! I watch it just to see how stupid it can get.

i dont really watch tv much but when i was in england i did enjoy watching saxondale.

Unmade Bed 07.26.2006 09:56 AM

I guess that the 75% of the tv around here should be named thrash, so I don't be sure where the other 25% is, because I don't pay too much attention to television right now

fishmonkey 07.26.2006 10:09 AM

i'm gonna be killed stone dead for this but.......

Big Brother.

Tokolosh 07.26.2006 10:11 AM

I don't watch crap tv programs full stop

Inhuman 07.26.2006 10:12 AM

I don't watch TV. The way they promote their music is shit. Most of the programs are shittier. But then again, I do enjoy the occasional Boondocks or Chris Rock.

I'm totally aware that it is trash but,on the rare occasions that i watch tv,that's one of the programs i enjoy.I also like any rubbish like 'Bargain hunt',any DIY program,and those two scottish queens who would regularly turn a poor lady's house into a pink and glowing green dump.I bet you like that too fishmonkey.

you're my man, fishmonkey
I also love watching that, especially after a fucked up long troublesome day at work. You just turn the telly on, turn the brain off and slowly drift off to slumber as the twats on screen keep on arguing and talking shit and taking showers.

Yeah, Big Brother is fun.

I used to like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy quite a bit.

I also like that makeover show where the two fashion gurus give somebody thousands of dollars to buy new clothes. It never ceases to amaze me that these idiots (the people they give the money to) start out buying the same old shit they're wearing. like, duh...

porkmarras 07.26.2006 10:22 AM

Tv is meant to be trash anyway.For as long as you know that,you make the most of it.Eastenders has become a dump.

Danny Himself 07.26.2006 10:22 AM

On a lighter note, I catch myself watching high-larious sitcoms on ABC.

sonicl 07.26.2006 10:24 AM

I'm looking forward to the new series of "Bad Girls". I liked "Footballers Wives" for a bit too, but it became too much like Dallas or Dynasty.

gmku 07.26.2006 10:26 AM

Not-trash: Six Feet Under (reruns); Joan of Arcadia (reruns); Gilmore Girls (reruns).

I love those shows. I'm a man, and I'm straight. So deal with it!

porkmarras 07.26.2006 10:26 AM

Queer Gye for the Straight Guy was funny if you watched it in that kind of 'what the hell is this?'way.Has anyone ever managed to see Straight Eye For The Queer Guy?

Yeah, and I hated it. Even though it was meant as humor, the gay bashing was a bit too unsubtle for me. Done in very bad taste, I thought.

porkmarras 07.26.2006 10:54 AM

What happened in it Mr straight gay?

TheDom 07.26.2006 10:55 AM

Whose Line Is It Anyway?
Two And A Half Men

and this week ABC Family has played The Waterboy at least 5,000 times, so that...

nomadicfollower 07.26.2006 10:55 AM

The only things I really watch are the Daily Show and some of the adult swim programing.

static-harmony 07.26.2006 10:58 AM

Futurama, king of the hill,and anything that pops on the IFC OR SUNDANCE channels.

last time i was in england, there were two very good ones - shameless and peep show, and two questionable ones that i love none the less - lost and desperate housewives.
i continued to download and watch over here.
shameless is fucking fantastic!

porkmarras 07.26.2006 11:23 AM

I thought the thread mentioned trash in its title.Shameless aint no trash but pure genius!

I can't recall exactly. It's been a while, and I'm old. I just remember hating it.

porkmarras 07.26.2006 11:30 AM

If genius has to be mentioned..
 

porkmarras 07.26.2006 11:32 AM

cheers _slavo_
i just think Big Brother is the ultimate "rat in a maze" experiment. you meet these people and form all these opinions of them and as the show goes on your opinions change and you find yourself asking.. "what the fuck did i see in this person" and as the show goes on further you find yourself hissing like a snake at the telly when that person you thought so much of digs themselves further into a big pile of shite....

mind-numbing beautiful TV.


i like Lost too, last episoide of the 2nd series showed in ireland here last monday night..... one word....FUCKED UP

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to _slavo_ again.

If i'm feeling down and i want to think about something that will make me smile i just need to have this expression in my mind:
''And as for you,pantomine cow....'
(from the knowing me knowing you episode in Paris)

Coincidence? I think not.

They're terrible! I'd like to know who they had to fuck to get on there, but they'd be laughed off the stage anywhere else.

LittlePuppetBoy 07.26.2006 12:14 PM

It's a show with Tommy Lee! What could you have expected?

wax 07.26.2006 12:14 PM

yeah, shameless is the fucking best.
when i saw the "trash" in the title i thought about lost and DH, but then thinking of tv made me think of the king of progs. shameless.
theres been loads of great stuff on british telly in the past, but not so much last year.
partridge and brass eye for sure. i actualy prefer jam to brasseye though....or maybe not. hmm.
never got into nathan barley. its not bad but lacks those fantastic actors that are in all the other moris stuff.

LittlePuppetBoy 07.26.2006 12:15 PM

I am an avid tv watcher, but I dodge the reality shows and shows I can tell are bad because of the commercials.
