LNC Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 When I'm out and about at the doc or dentist and people make small talk about American Idol, I almost hate to say I've never seen it. I'm definately not super high brow, I just don't like reality tv. I have watched Felicity - all 4 seasons twice through. I even have a hankerin' to get them again from Netflix this summer. I would be a little embarrassed to admit that to most of my real life friends though :). Do you have any series like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmegan Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 The shows I watch regularly are Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, Flight of the Conchords, and Gossip Girl. The show that I watch obsessively but would never admit to anyone? Antiques Roadshow. Man, I LOVE that show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen in CO Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Survivor. I started watching it the first season when I was on bed-rest with my dd. I have watched every season so far. I plan to give it up one day. Really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumping In Puddles Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I watch very little T.V. Very little. That's why I guess I hate to admit that I love American Idol. I watch every episode and when its over, I can't wait for the next season. BTW, I don't watch much TV because I'm too highbrow or anything, I just prefer leafing through magazines, surfing the net, going through cookbooks and reading. When the TV happens to be on though, I can easily get hooked and stay up too late watching whatever is on. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danestress Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 The only shows I watch regulary are the Office, the Daily Show, and Colbert (the latter two maybe twice a week). I'm not really embarrassed that I watch them, though now that my MIL is living with us, I am sort of embarrassed sometimes about how naughty the latter two can be. There have been a couple of times I was mortified by the language in front of her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Yup, it's just about the only show that I actually will sit down and watch versus doing chores in the evening. I guess that it makes my life look pretty good in comparison... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayle in Guatemala Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I never saw this show until I moved here. Just didn't watch it in the US, but, we LOVE Gilmore Girls. I absolutely love it.

jmgconner Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Any TV at all is embarrassing for me - I need to be a better time manager.

my2kidsmom Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I watch American Idol (this is my first season to watch it). I also watch Dancing with the Stars. The other shows I try to watch regularly are CSI Miami on Mon. nights, Boston Legal, and Dexter. Dexter was on one of the networks, but it is a Showtime show. I thought it was really good, but i won't be subscribing to Showtime for it. Sometimes i watch Without a Trace. (notice all these shows start at 9 o'clock central--the kids are in bed--we don't watch much TV before 9 unless it is something like Food Network) The two shows that I'm embarrased to say I watch are :blushing: TMZ and Two and a Half Men (if I can find them on TV after 10pm) Two and a Half Men is just terrible, but oh so funny (IMHO) -- I just can't believe it is in syndication at 6:00 and 6:30 pm on weeknights! Wish they would move it to 10 so I could watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer in MI Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Never miss Desperate Housewives. It's my trashy tv and I love it!!! LOL Things I like to watch, but don't really care if I miss: John and Kate + 8, American Idol (our first season too!), Three and a Half Men (this show is hilarious!!!). I think that's it! Oh - and as I nurse the baby down for her nap, I'll turn on a home improvement show or a birth show. But, I never get to watch the whole thing!

Laura R (FL) Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 ER...I always liked finding all the medical "yeah rights", from my own hospital career days. Somehow, I got sucked into watching it for the past 7 years or so...wouldn't dare miss an episode...kinda OCD. It's got an agenda that's a bit liberal for my tastes, but I watch it anyway.

PinkInTheBlue Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 We love Lost but that's not too embarrassing since most of America seems to watch it. :) However, we've become crazy about Bones lately.

Storm Bay Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'm an ex-TV junkie. I've watched only 1 show in about 19 or 20 months. However, I'm going to break down and watch a summer series this year. What embarrassing things was I addicted to in the past? Alias. I didn't miss a single episode until that last year when they kept moving the show around and since I taped it and skipped the commercials, I missed the change. How sad is that? I was addicted to it before they brought in all that weird stuff. This summer, though, I'm going to allow myself one series. I'll ask dh to "force" me off the TV as soon as it's over.

Mamagistra Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 We have completely given up television except for the occasional PBS program (Frontline, Nature, or NOVA) that piques our curiosity. Once in a while, I will turn it on for weather coverage. Aside from that, I only watch one thing regularly: Eastenders, a British soap about working-class Londoners. It, too, runs on PBS, and I've followed it for roughly 13 years...my remaining TV pleasure. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doran Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'm more mildly embarassed to admit what we DON'T watch, because that would be basically everything. I've never seen an episode of Seinfeld and have forever marked myself as an American pop-culture ignoramus because of it. I've seen American Idol on occasion, when visiting my folks. Ditto a handful of other shows, the names of which escape me now. My mother loves (loved...don't even know if they're still current shows) "Keeping Up Appearances" and "Whose Line is it Anyway?" (is that the right name?). She and my father watch so much t.v. that it's no great surprise to find three different televisions on simultaneously in their house...and there's just the two of them living there!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her daughter is infinitely more mature than she is. Luann is the classiest of the bunch, but Bethenny's constant begging her boyfriend to move in really grates on my nerves. And Alex and Simon are just so obnoxious! It's a sick relationship-- he buys all her clothes and has to approve them first, to make sure they're from an "approved" designer! And their boys are incorrigable--- I'd rather have my kid know how to say "please" and "thank you" than the Latin words to Twinkle Twinkle.

KidsHappen Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Not embassed that I watch LOST. Mildly embarassed that I watch Grey's Anatomy (and even cry sometimes, oh the shame) Ditto the embassement about The Tudors (warning - not strictly historically acurate and a shameful amount of adult content). That's three hours a week. Way more than it should be. Definitely embarrased about that. :blushing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Okay, I'll admit mine as well. Since strike, however, I haven't gotten back into most of the ones I used to watch. I USED to watch: NCIS, CSI (Vegas only), Criminal Minds, Survivor, Dancing With the Stars, Biggest Loser, American Idol, Pushing Daisies, So You Think You Can Dance, and probably some others hit or miss. Some of the above were splotchy watching, not regular. Now, I watch: CSI and Criminal Minds. I would watch NCIS, but the kids LOVE Nova on PBS at the same time. I let them unless it is a rerun and sacrifice my NCIS. Sniff, I miss Agent Gibbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa in Jax Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'm not the least bit embarassed to admit that we programmed our DVR to record: Survivor House Criminal Minds Bones Lost Hell's Kitchen Top Chef Big Bang Theory How I Met Your Mother... Still, my younger two have never seen ANY of those shows. During the week, we only watch tv when they're in bed. So, they don't watch much tv (they have tv privileges on weekends only) but dh and I watch a lot of tv. ;-) Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
