What tv show do you watch, should be ashamed to admit it, but arent?

I don't watch a lot of tv, mostly movies. Still watch Adam12, the Rifleman, Emergency, & Spongebob w/the kids (SB in VERY small doses or our brains start to rot & run out our ears)... A few shows I'd love to see again (maybe on Netflix) are Nightcourt, Barney Miller, & the Equalizer.
 
I record and watch The Young & The Restless daily.

I started watching it during the summer soon after it debuted in the early 70's.

After a layoff of many years I began watching it again in the late 90's. I've been back watching it since.

I make no secret about it. Y&R and The Simpsons are about the only shows I still watch on a regular basis.

Wasnt that the show that had either Stacy Keach or John Lithgow? If so? I remember seeing it a couple times and liked it.

Yeah, Stacy Keach played Papa Titus, a drunk womanizer with several ex-wives. I have the DVD box set of the first two seasons. I think it only ran 3 seasons. I thought the show was relatable and funny.

I'm of American Indian descent and as I understand it I'm supposed to be outraged at racial stereotypes but I find FTroop hilarious.
The Hackawi Indians had me laughng out loud.
It's kinda sad that in todays politically correct world there'll never be another show like it.

My favorite 2 characters, Chief Wild Eagle and Crazy Cat.

Them two really make me laugh.:)
 
We watch almost anything Sherlock Holmes - from the first to the present.
Mr Selfridge, Father Brown, and Downton Abbey are favorites - as well as Upstairs/Downstairs.
I sure miss The Red Green Show and Corner Gas!
England and Canada seem to make better television shows than we do :(

I also miss Rocky and Friends and The Roadrunner!!!

The U-Tube showings of most of the above are super poor quality :(
 
I don't watch a huge amount of TV but I'd rather watch trash not taking itself seriously than trash masquerading as serious work. I'd categorize almost all crime "procedurals" as the latter.

In college we'd watch soaps in the common area--sometimes they were hilarious and sometimes quite serious, but never tended to take themselves too seriously. Most of the old time soaps are gone now. But they could be fun.

My guilty pleasure now is "Family Guy". I'm not easily offended but they've even gotten to me a few times. But they seem to do it in a fairly even handed way. They don't seem to care who they make mad.

Stewie's musical dance number "Prom Night Dumpster Baby" was one of the cruelest, sickest, most depraved things ever broadcast on television. And I hate to admit it but I almost hurt myself when I hit the floor while trying to hold my guts in from laughing so hard.
 
I don't watch a lot of TV, we have 3 local PBS channels and I can always find something on there worth watching but this was a long cold winter with a lot of snow and the guy's I hang with were not comming out a few went south a few wern't feeling well and it was just too damm cold to go out, so I watched more TV than I did anytime in my life, you can only watch so many shows on UFO's and Big Foot before you start to loose your mind, thank God the warmer weather is on it's way.:D
 
Selfridges, Downton Abbey, The Graham Norton Show and reruns of 30 Rock, immediately come to mind. VERY well done and entertaining.

Beats the pants off of the mind numbing "reality" garbage.

Also watch a good amount of; Top Gear, Justified, How it's Made, TCM, and assorted shows on History and Military channel.

Most of the current crop of prime time shows are easy to miss. Not much worth watching.
 
Shows from "back in the day", X-files ( Dana Scully does it for me ) Twin Peaks, Charmed ( second vote for this show) and Warehouse 13.
 
Back in the day...when there were only three or four channels, I got hooked on "All My Children" and "General Hospital" for several years. Hated to miss them.

These days, it's Pawn Stars, and "Hardcore Pawn" (Hardcore Pawn is one of the funniest shows you'll ever see.) American Pickers, American Restoration, Wicked Tuna, Deadliest Catch...You get the idea.
 
Old soaps.....

Who remembers the organ music on the really old soaps? Carol Burnett did a soap spoof where the organ got so loud nobody could hear what each other was saying.
