What tv shows do you watch?


cameragirl21 wrote: Brianne's discussion about Grey's and PPP got me thinking about this--what shows would you say you tune into every week?

For me, I no longer watch Grey's, got bored after Addison left, I was definitely an Addi fan. I don't watch PPP either because I can't get into any of the other characters and the Addi on PPP is very different from the Addi on Grey's...they've changed her whole character. Once in a blue moon I'll tune into PPP but rarely and I am just not into it anymore.

So I watch Desperate Housewives when it's in season and Drop Dead Diva, which is in the same time slot as Desperate Housewives so luckily they're on different seasons.
Beyond that, I mostly like reality tv but not the kind where there are contests, like American Idol or anything like that.
I generally tune into Teen Mom every week, something about that show always keeps me wanting to find out what happens next.
I also like Toddlers and Tiaras, mostly because it's like watching a trainwreck...I sometimes wonder if these people are for real or if they're trying to make fools of themselves for the benefit of the audience. As has been mentioned here before, I am totally against glitz pageants for little girls and I'm also quite appalled by the idea of toddlers shaking their butts for male judges...ewww, just ewww.
And lately I've taken a liking to Dance Moms which is a whole new level of dysfunction. But the children's dancing is incredible and one little girl is so good that I'd tune into this show just to watch her dance.
And that's it, I don't watch any other shows regularly.
And you?

Dexter (on DVD as we don't have Showtime)

Desperate Housewives

I know there are more but can't think of them right now.

I too gave up GA for something in the same time slot ... wow, I must be more tired than I think ... but I think whatever it was got cancelled.

So You Think You Can Dance

That's it...I'll sometimes watch a documentary on netflix while I'm working but when those shows aren't on, neither is our tv...unless it's the kids.

my2monkeyboys replied: Oh! I forgot Modern Family, The Voice and America's Got Talent. happy.gif

coasterqueen replied: Right now I watch St. Louis Cardinals baseball. tongue.gif On their nights off we are catching up on episodes of True Blood, Entourage, and just finished Big Love. Once we catch up on TB and Entourage, we'll start the Game of Thrones series on HBO. I want to catch up on the last few seasons of Dexter at some point. Otherwise my only other show *I* watch is All My Children. If tv is on when the girls are awake it's some kid show. I do watch about 10 minutes of HGTV House Hunters until I fall asleep, not all nights but some nights. laugh.gif

I do not watch any other shows. happy.gif

ETA: I do watch Dancing With the Stars when it's in season.

Calimama replied: The Glee Project (my fav!), Teen Mom, and then a bunch of cooking shows and some on HGTV. I don't really have ton of time for tv anymore.

mummy2girls replied: I am a reality show junkie. That's all I watch....

Teen mom, 16 and pregnant, the apprentice when it's on, big brother, toddlers and tiaras, la ink, Kate plus 8... But that's only because Jenna LOVES that show so I watch it with her, wife swap, super nanny, jells kitchen, master chef, I didn't know I was pregnant.

The only non reality show I watch is big bang theory

bluebear replied: Music videos tongue.gif
I haven't watched "cable" in months. TLC has really gone down hill with just remakes/spinoffs of the same show they already had. I'm so thrown out of the loop with entertainment today and I'm glad. I had no idea there was another Planet of the Apes film out until 2 days ago. I don't want to see 20 smart phone commercials during the hour I'm watching a show anyway.

ZandersMama replied: i cant believe i didnt see true blood or vampire diaries on anyones list!!?? im in love with both shows

Love in the wild is a new reality show i just watched, the finale was on last night. cute little show.
