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.

I'm embarrassed to say I watch Married at First Sight. I don't quite qualify because I don't "love it", but at this point, I'm interested in it, despite all it's myriad flaws and stupidity. Let's put it this way - Sometimes my wife watches stuff and I read/do work- I actually watch MaFS.

I found myself watching The Arrow when it was first released. In part because I loved comics as a kid and in part because there were a lot of pretty people. 

The other was the Children of the Stones, an old British kids show. Creepy show about an old stone circle in a small town that seemed to have some power.

Vanderpump Rules.  The show is chock full of some of the most despicable people to ever walk the planet. I recognized this immediately with S1/E1, yet somehow got hooked. I've seen every episode.

Honorable Mention: Real Housewives of Atlanta and Beverly Hills. I like both of these, but hate the others. God, I'm a weirdo.

Watch? Pretty little liars. Worst show I've ever seen more than two episodes of. But I compromise by watching that occasionally and my gf gives me full reign over the tv in return.

Love? Vanderpump rules. I am a 16 year old basic bitch at heart

In college I started watching Days of Our Lives, every day at 1pm.  My roommates mocked me, until they also got addicted.

More recently, I would watch a Hallmark movie with my wife and mock them for being so predictable, telling her everything that was going to happen in the whole movie within the first five minutes.  Then I realized that I was watching and mocking lots of Hallmark movies.  Last week I said "you have any Hallmark movies recorded?"

I used to faithfully record (on VHS tapes) and then watch Days of Our Lives with my then-wife  for about a dozen years or more, starting back in the late 80's.  I was madly in love with Kayla, and even confessed that to my wife back then.

Now I'm left wondering how many of the old characters are still on that show.  Solution?   I'm gonna have to save the next couple episodes on DirecTV and take a look.

Lazytown, and Shining Time Station (Thomas The Tank Engine) re-runs (but only older episodes starring either Ringo Starr or George Carlin as "The Conducter" .  OTOH, I find newer Thomas The Tank Engine episodes unwatchable, ever since they abandoned the stop-motion style of filming shows and went to CGI.

There are two shows my 2 year old won't watch anymore that I sometimes make him watch with me, the adventures of gumball (cartoon network/hulu) and larva (korea?/netflix).  Those shows are hilarious.
