Registered 18 years ago@Razz Are you old enough to remember the original? I am, and it had a great impact on me. Mainly in fiddling about with oversized belt buckles pretending to teleport.
My guilty pleasure is a bit of Doc Martin. Everything is just so nice isn't it? -
Mine is springwatch, autumnwatch... In fact any of the watch shows. I'm not big into nature programmes but find these very watchable. -

The first two I actually record so I can watch them when i have nothign better to do. The latter 2 I'll get stuck on if I happen to catch part of it. -

Registered 15 years ago"If You Are The One", China's top rated dating show, with 50 million viewers an ep. It's utterly functional and ruthless, funny and cringeworthy, and occasionally throws up the odd 40-something insatiable cougar as a token mentalist. Very much the definition of a meat market. Hosted by the double of Gregg Wallace, with about as much tact on offer.
Might be on TV sites, or via the Aussie SBS player. -

Registered 11 years agoStorage Wars, Pawn Stars, Lizard Lick Towing and Man vs. Food for me.
Storage Wars is amazingly shite. The same couple get in a fight with someone else every episode, and the valuations they all put on stuff are little short of insane. A filing cabinet isn't worth $300. MONEY
Pawn Stars is actually pretty good to be honest, sort of like a tacky version of Antiques Roadshow. I wish the punters were better at negotiations though, they get absolutely done every time. -

I've been recording and watching it since my friends bought me a ticket to see it in Glasgow for my 30th. -

It's like watching someone gamble.... I watch them back to back. I agree some of the valuations are ambitious!

Registered 11 years agoOh yeah, CSI: Miami of course. I actually have a few seasons on DVD, to make it even worse.
Complete and utter nonsense, but hugely entertaining. -

Registered 13 years agoWhat's guilty about Man v Food? It's great!
I have to confess to binging on Jamie's 15/30 Minute Meals on a nice calm Sunday. I barely even cook, but it's just so entertaining. I like most cooking shows actually but this is the only one I sit down with intent to watch.
How It's Made is another, sometimes one of the channels has a semi-marathon of episodes and I'm more than happy to sit through the lot.
Also Take Me Out. -

There's something compelling about how it seems to flit from maple syrup to aeroplane wings. -

Hah, I went through a stage of watching these (and the surprisingly vicious Canadian version). Absolute guff - the 'flashy' editing and 'dramatic' music are appalling. Oh, and good luck travelling to Australia if you're Asian - sheesh, those carefree Aussies give them a rather hard time.

I absolutely love triple D on the food network. Guy is an absolute bell-end and not a patch on whatshisname from man vs food, but I just can't stop watching the damn thing!
Currently watching take me out... My missus just popped out to visit the neighbours so doubt she'll be impressed when she returns! (bizarrely she thinks its a load of bollox, but I've always had a soft spot for a bit of Paddy's bantz)
