Admit it do you watch bad T.V, and enjoy it?

[I.R Joey]

I'm looking at all the people who claim that the Simpsons has gone down the tube, yet they are still some of the most dedicated viewers. It's like they don't miss an episode, and they can site episodes, acts, scenes, and lines that they didn't like.


I think I'll admit to doing something that many people won't.

I enjoy watching ad T.V shows. I don't know maybe its because they're so bad that I enjoy them, or pointijng out stupid things like plot holes, or imagining what the charecters are really thinking. Who else is brave enough to admit it.

[Bud 'n Lou]

I totally agree with you. I think it's funny sometimes when people complain SOO much about a show, and yet still keep watching each week. It's even better when they do this on a message board dedicated to the show. :)

Never have I seen more of this done than at Real World message boards. "I hate this season's characters!", "Real World is SO fake!", "They always pick the most boring/annoying people for the show!"

I would be annoyed by this if I didn't find it so funny. I'm not saying those people are wrong. The show IS fake to a certain degree. I know this. However, I STILL love the show! It's addictive. I can't stop watching it.

I ADMIT IT: I'M AN OUT-AND-PROUD REAL WORLD FAN!

PS-New season starting this month. It's in New York. Again. :)

Yhea you have a point but for me it is getting to the point I don't care if I miss the Simpsons hell sometime I just forget. I guess soon I will just be too lazy to watch new Simpsons eps oh well.

My vomit from watching "The Witchblade" movie last week is proof of my one guideline about trashing on bad shows. I can't say it's bad if I didn't see it. It's a golden rule of mine. I have to make sure it's bad before it's bad.

With The Simpsons, my viewing habbits HAVE changed actually. During the vomit endusing seasons, I remember missing episodes and just not caring about it. During earlier seasons I would have been shocked and terrified.

But, as the question at the top of this thread goes, I too have some guilty pleasures. The DBZ by Funimation that's dubbed horribly AND cut is absolutely horrid. But I still watch it. I still torture myself....

I used to tape the Simpsons every week, but gave that up within the last couple seasons. And I gave up on the show entirely after this past season. Why anybody would want to watch the Simpsons and not Undergrads is beyond me, anyway.

I know what you are talking about, though, Joey. I like LA Law, and was watching it every day on A&E and it got down to the last couple seasons, which are unbearably bad. I really had a hard time forcing myself to STOP watching it before they re ran the last season, because I hated the second to last season so much. I had heard the last season was worse, but was trying to watch it to say I've seen every episode. I couldn't bring myself to do it.

I really have a limited amount of time and so much other things to watch on DVD, so if a TV show loses interest to me, I have hardly any problem in dropping it. Sometimes it takes longer for me with some shows than others, of course.

Did they ever air a new episode of Undergrads? I saw the first one, and it wasn't that great.

About 5 or 6 of them so far. I have them all on tape. I think the show is great, and just got better with each episode.

I watch some bad TV, and I enjoy it. I know it's bad, but then, so is junk food.

Horrendously edited anime--Just to see if they are edited well, or just haphazardly (see Escaflowne or Cardcaptors).

WWF wrestling--illogical storylines, sometimes poorly-paced wrestling, and long-winded microphone time. But I've been watching since I was 8, and I'm not stopping yet.


Married with Children repeats--I know I shouldn't, but I always get a kick outta this show. I still laugh even now that it's all reruns.

Battlefield Earth: The Animated Series.

It's all true! Read this and weep! (http://www.canoe.ca/JamMoviesFeaturesB/battlefieldearth_1.html)

[Calhoun07]

Blackstar, the animated series from the 80's that ripped off so many other sci fi shows and movies. Well, I know alot of sci fi cartoons fall for the same cliches after a while, but this one took the prize. I tuned in like a brainless monkey every week. Must have been boredom, or something.

[Scythemantis]

DIGIMON!

I really like the artwork (very american style) and creature design(the members of "daemoncorps" were worthy of ghostbusters! And Apocalymon was very disturbing...),but the dubbing and editing is simply WRETCHED...the plot isnt all that bad,but its very hard to notice under all the completely absurd,groan-inducing dialogue and "jokes" that make me laugh for all the wrong reasons :)

.....Oh yeah,and I watch married with children too :P

[mxyzptlk]

the worst show that i love to watch is jenny jones it so funny when they have those episodes with the themes like u used to make fun of me and now i am hot and then you have the guy who used to make fun of the girl and is like a gangster and hes just like you are just dirty [junk]

I'm an X-phile, so I watch the show to see how well-handled the characters are in this teen angst Dawson's Creek with mutants. So far I've been sorely disappointed. Even "The Cauldron", which seems to be everyone's favorite episode, judging from the way it ran away with the votes in last week's Click-and-Pick, didn't quite measure up with me. Still, Wolverine is the show's saving grace; I can forgive a badly-written Magneto or an annoyingly-voiced Kitty or even a scuzzy little Rogue if I can see more of the ol' canucklehead.
I also like Married...With Children. I can do a spot-on impersonation of Al Bundy. (I need a smiley with its hand down the front of its pants here.)
