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.

Had met two significant contributors to the original series (one a star and one a writer) through two separate friends.  Unfortunately the writer passed away long before I had a chance to tell him I'd become a fan, and the other seems to have lost respect for me now that she knows I've become addicted.

Originally watched it just because my wife did, and I was desperately seeking a show that didn't annoy the crap out of me that she was into.

This happened to be something that I found myself really getting into. It's a very well written show, and the old grandma cracks me up.

Me too, and I completely agree.

In fact, I'll go one step further: When Edith yelled "Bitch!" at her in this last episode, I literally cheered a little bit. Seeing her fight back after the last six years of taking Mary's shit was very satisfying.

In that way, it was like Edith's own Citrus Bowl.

I watch them still. I realize I am too old for MTV when I try to watch any of the other shows, but for some reason I can still watch the challenges. We all need our one really bad escape.

I also watch the gold digging shows. 

I like star wars rebels. If you are into star wars, it is good (cartoon).  If not, you'd probably find it dorky.

It was pretty good at the beggining, but then they went through a lul the past season or 2 IMO.  We still watch it, but it's not the first of our recorded shows I go to.  It's like they ran out of shit to make up so they went all crazy on us.  

 

We've been watching Peggy Carter.  Wife watches Supergirl, I'm not a fan, but watch it with her.

It's been a while, but Friends was pretty good.

Also my wife loves Big Bang Theory. I don't hate it as much as I want to (but I still hate it a little. It's so.. blah and dumb)

Scandal, Grey's Anatomy, How to get away with murder.

I agree with another poster that Agents of SHIELD is awesome. Not as good as the Flash or Legends of Tomorrow.

I don't watch too much tv.  I usually catch things on Netflix and most of them aren't the type to think I'd be embarrassed by.  My wife watches pretty much everything and occasionally i get engrosed in an episode or two of something she has on.  The ones I typically get irritated with myself for though are hallmark channel movies.  I usually catch myself after about 20 minutes of it and go play a game instead, but I do get sucked in sometimes.
