OT: TV shows that you're embarrassed to admit you love

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

A spinoff of a thread from a month ago because it's a slow day on the board. Time to shake things up.

There's certainly a ton of options out there. Fire away.

edit: didn't include mine in the OP.

The Bachelor, Married at First Sight.

Like others, I am not entirely sure if these truly belong in the category, but they are certainly shows that I don't usually bring up in conversation all the time. 

 - "Project Runway": I was actually a fan from day one over a decade ago and still watch it.

 - "Hoarders": As disgusting as some of the situations on this show are, I find myself watching

 - "Pitbulls And Parolees": I don't know, I find this one fascinating for some reason.

Project Runway with Heidi Klum

and

The Hills - with Lauren Conrad.

 

Not the world's most embarrassing set list until you realize I was a 40-something year old man watching them with my teenage daughter.

Not embarrassing, but did anyone ever watch The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. (Only on for one season in the 90s)? Used to watch with my dad. Bruce Campbell at his best, and a Harbaugh cameo to boot!

My mom was on MTV's 16 & Pregnant and is now a recurring character on Teen Mom.  No, not as a pregnant teen - she is a Pregnancy Counselor, and she arranged Catelynn/Tyler's adoption. So I watch those shows, though Farrah makes me want to smash every piece of glassware in my house. If you ever want cheap entertainment, type Farrah's name into a Twitter search while an episode is live sometime.

My wife and I used to watch a lot of HGTV shows before we had the kids. I was always a little embarrassed about that, but they made her happy.

I'm rooting for Caila. I've always had a thing for Philipino sex panthers (and before you neg me, Ben called her a sex panther.) She killed the hometown date. Brings a guy to a toy factory, they make their own toy house, and her dad is the CEO? And then they get to go home and eat some pork adobo? You gotta be kidding me. This woman is perfect. And they are both midwestern software sales people. This is a match made in heaven. So, obviously, he's going to pick Lauren B.

I feel so bad for Amanda. 

Smh I should be the bachelor and the women can compete for my affection in challenges that involve creating a SuperGuide.

I don't really get embarrassed by anything, but if liking any tv series did it, I'd have to go with The OC. Loved that stupid fucking show

When I started dating my wife back in 1999, I made fun of her because she had been watching General Hospital since she was in middle school.  Now, 17 years later, we watch it together while we eat dinner most nights.  I dare anyone to top that for embarrassing shows.

Also, our FAVORITE show on TV currently is Suits - not embarrassing, though.
