confess your secret TV
are there any tv shows (or films) that you enjoy watching but don't want people* to know?
* By people I mean real life fleshbags (friends or family), not 'net "friends"
Maybe it's a soap opera, a kids show, or anything aimed at a different target audience to yourself. Something you watch, but if it was ever a topic of conversation, you'd either deny ever seeing or say something bad about it to maintain an image. Maybe your partner watches it, and you complain but secretly don't want to miss it either.
Confide in us. Sharing will help you to grow.
(and if all you have to say is "porn for obvious reasons", then unless it's a particularly salacious anecdote, can we take it as said?)
(and if you don't have a TV and get self-satisfaction++ by telling us, assume we don't care)

Re: confess your secret TV
I will happily admit to watching anything no matter how bad, mainly because people are around my house and I end up putting it on so I don't miss it.

Re: confess your secret TV
Working from home (or at least pretending to work) I catch a lot of day-time shows, the most entertaining of the ones around noon was Providence.
All of a sudden it was the highlight of my 3-hour lunch break

Re: confess your secret TV
I started watching All My Children this summer (U.S. soap) and even though I know it's bad I still keep up with it.

Re: confess your secret TV
For an entire summer holidays I watched the TV series "Hope and Gloria" - a hideously bad TV sitcom. I used to watch it everyday in the morning while eating a bowl full of Angel Delight.
These days I don't have the time to watch all the good tv, let alone rubbish.

Re: confess your secret TV
The majority of our flat at Oxford watch neighbours. While I wouldn't turn it on if someone else didn't, when it's on and we've got 15 minutes until we return to the practical labs, I'll sit and root for the girl who is about to discover her boyfriend was cheating on her with someone called Edwina (not Currie).
Cries of:
'Tell her!'
and
'Slap the bastard!'
Must really worry the people passing by our open window...

Re: confess your secret TV
I used to watch Newsround when Becky Jago* presented it.
She isn't there any more (not since March :'( ) so i don't watch it any more.
My little secret was kept very quiet from my real life friends.
*i don't think there are any decent pics of her on the web

Re: confess your secret TV
I suppose I do watch a fair amount of crap I should be ashamed of.
Murder she Wrote is wicked.
Neighbours.
Eastenders.
Hollyoaks.
Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
I want them to do another series of that thing where people with low self esteem and no dates get "revamped" by a team, and then they become all and stuff, and find a girlfriend/boyfriend. That show was good.

I started this thread without confessing myself...
Dead Like Me (I was watching this when I made the thread)
Sex and the City
sometimes that Des and Mel Lunchtime thing
and I remember pretending I didn't know who Jade was in Big Brother, when the hideous creature had me watching to see what horrendous thing she'd say/do next

Re: confess your secret TV
I'm hoping that soon someone will confess to a programme (thinking the board has been remarkably tolerant and accepting) and then people turn on him/her like rabid dogs with savage and unceasing mockery.
Doctors was almost that programme (but I've seen it a few times and it has a horrible way of making you stay to see how it ends)

Neighbours
Dream Team
Dragonball Z (only that one not the other 2)
M.A.S.K

OHHH AND "No, i have not considered changing my nick to Dave".
Partly because that would be gay.
Partly because there already is a "Dave" on the boards.

Nah i still think it's too galling to watch.
It's like the competitors have never played a strategy MMOG EVER even when they knew they were going on a program which would highlight any lack of strategy knowledge.
GOD DAMN but it pisses me off.
