I'm just glad that I'm not the only one who thinks that Glee is shitty.

Don't get me wrong - I love the show more than a heterosexual man ought to, but I'd honestly not watch the show if it weren't for the music unless it was 45 minutes of Jane Lynch ranting. Also, the girl who plays Rachel is way hotter than she logically should be.
 
Meh I'd rather watch Glee than Community, but I don't follow either show really. I'm going to tune in when Whedon/NPH's episode is on though. That should be dope.
 
i've never watched a full episode but when i'm flipping channels i always stop and watch "i Love Money" for a little while.

Skins (A British show). It has a slight charm(S1&2) but it is some of the most unrealistic shit I have ever seen. The whole show comes of as it came from the mind of a unpopular kid. The Fonzarelli of shows. Trying so hard to be cool its just laughable but I cant stop watching tough.

In the 1st season it seemed like they were trying to make Tony a sociopath. Then they used the bus incident to change his character.
 
two and a half men should not 'star' charlie sheen. the funniest characters are berta(housekeeper), alan(his brother), and jake(the kid) by far. Judith's new husband is also hilarious as well as Chelsea's parents

You have impeccable taste.
 
CSI Miami, Shark Tank, Kitchen Nightmares, American Idol, The Bachelor.

Oh and Yu-Gi-Oh. It always cracks me up how Yugi always winds up in some totally impossible situation in EVERY single game with no outs, something like this:

"Haha Yugi, thanks to my Eye of Bullshit, I can now read your mind and know exactly what you're going to play before you play it! And with my {insert bullshit power here} ANY card you play or in fact ANYTHING you do will result in your certain defeat!"

And then Yugi finds a way out. Every time. It's great.
 
How to Make it in America

Cinematography and writing are decent, but it's just not that fun of a show. It's pretty boring and only one of the 3 ongoing plots is entertaining, Crisp NYC.

I always feel sorry for the man in the middle, so unsuspecting.

Please tell me you've heard of Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series?

Also, I don't watch CSI: Miami regularly but I've caught a few episodes on either Spike or A&E and...God...I think I prefer The Soup's version of it.

As for the crap show I can't help but watch: Degrassi: The Next Generation. I've never started watching this until about a year ago and I remember hearing about how this show pushes the boundaries on teen issues and it seems like they do it to a point where I'm wondering whether it's an exaggeration or if I should be fearful of Canadian teens and their apparently douchey/horrible teachers. Also, holy crap the acting is awful. Can't turn away AT ALL.
 
Grey's Anatomy: It always blows my mind how Ellen Pompeo, who seems to suck on grapes everytime, gets a job like this. Also the sexing, whining and bitching. You'd be fired after a day if you'd behave like that in a real hospital. But I like the style of filming and the cases. :(

Also Dismissed: My opinion about American teens and tweens was greatly disturbed by these dumbasses participating there. But it's just soo horrible that I have to watch. :(

Tough Love

This season was a yawnfest though.

Yeah!

. . . and Real Chance At Love 2 was the first one of those dating shows I've ever DVR'd. They were like a mix of Cryme Tyme and Gnarles Barkley.
 
This thread was made for Torchwood. I can't think of one person I know who watched it and could come up with any reason to continue watching it yet continue we did.
 
I'm watching HIMYM, Two & a Half Men and Big Bang Theory, which I think all started off pretty good but now suck. I'm watching solely for posterity. Just like I watched season 8+ of Friends and season 6+ of That 70's Show

During middle school my friends would make "custom cards" like that for the card game, and I remember one of them that was particularly hilarious was the "Black Card" and it's effect was that whoever played it instantly won the match. :lol
 
Golden Girls. I don't watch it anymore but for some reason if it was on I'd watch it. I had nothing in common with these 50-60 year old women but there was something charming about the show.
 
Torchwood: watching to fill the DW void, and everyone says the miniseries is great.
Spartacus: no explanation needed.
Castle: so generic, but it has Fillion. Interactions are funny enough.
T:SCC: I know it was shitty, but I liked it.
Dollhouse: Only worth it for the last half a dozen episodes & epitaph 1.

And most embarrassing watch of all (in the last 5 years):
Moonlight: if it hadn't been canceled I would probably still be watching it. Dohring was awesome, O'Loughlin was ok (cheesy dialogue and all), and Myles and Sosammon were lovely. God this show was shit.

edit: and Smallville: I stopped watching it and then came back to it. Am at the end of season 6.
 
Viva La Bam. It hasn't been on for a few years but i liked it, not for Bam but his friends and Vito. Brandon Dicamillo was the only genuinely funny one, he should of had his own show.

Oh and Drake and Josh, i don't know why.

Awwww, I like Hustle. It's kinda cheesy in a charming way. Wish Marc Warren would come back though, the new guy is a bit shit.

i like it too, which is why i watch it. it is entertaining, in the charming cheesy way as you say, despite how awfully formulaic it is, how they always lie to the audience, how much their luck and tools (fake web sites) beggar belief, and how poorly put together so many of the con stories are and general sketchy writing. the new cast members are dreadful, but mickey and ash still deliver the goods.
