    Top Gear. I know it’s naff but it usually makes me smile.

    Criminal Minds, utter bobbins and every episode is the same but will still watch it if it is on.

    I wouldn’t put it on myself but I have no problem with Mrs Pondo watching America’s Next Top Model.

    The Face, on the other hand, can do one.

    First Dates.

    It’s actually really good so dunno if it could be classed as a GP.

    Shed and Buried. Two old geezers retrieving old stuff from sheds. Love it.

    Gogglebox. Half an hour of watching people watching the stuff I think I’m above watching.

    NCIS. Great fun spotting David McCallum sneaking The Man From UNCLE references into the script.

    Dinner date. There, I’ve said it 😳

    Come Dine with Me. I have no idea why. I hate myself after watching. I guess the sarcastic narrator is quite funny.

    Salvage Hunters.

    Edit : Though I wouldn’t pay a single penny for what he sells.

    River Monsters – total shit

    Why?

    Cooking shows for me

    River Monsters is ace. Jeremy investigates reports of things that rip your arm off then lands the prime suspect – a two-foot catfish. But then again, I quite liked Robson Green’s Extreme Fishing.

    Ooh. Another one.

    Mantracker! The older version with the tracker who says ‘Bugger’ a lot, because yanks don’t realise it’s a curse word.

    I’ve been known to sit through Extreme Couponing.
    River Monsters is too good to be a guilty pleasure.

    Count’s Customs
    Man vs Food
    Spongebob Squarepants
    Renegade (“He was a cop… and good at his job. But he testified against other cops gone bad…”)

    EDIT – Duck Dynasty

    Ooh yeah Man V Food, good call

    I hate sitting in front of the TV watching shite, for example Eastenders, Holby etc, the sort of stuff Mrs Wilko likes. But I’ll happily sit and watch other shite, such as Dinner Date etc. Ooh, and the shopping channels – the infomercials are fascinatingly bad

    Very true. Man Vs Food is too, if you treat it as more of a travelogue than a eating competition.

    Used to be Arrow and The Flash. Since given up after watching Daredevil.

    River monsters is absolutely dismal, the same thing every time including the psychological torment and journeys of self discovery Jezza departs on in every show.

    But it is also awesome.

    I can’t think of anything I watch which makes me feel guilty. Sad eh?

    If I get time at the weekend “4 In A Bed” on More4
    Where they do all 4 B&B visit shows back to back, mainly as you get some proper odd ball personality traits that seem to crop up where people are utterly blind to their own faults

    Geordie Shore – Crap but hilarious if you don’t take it seriously.
    How it’s made – Dull, boring TV but oddly soothing.
    Old cooking shows – Early Naked Chef, Floyd, anything really, again, I just find them very soothing.

    Man v’s Food I love but feel no guilt in doing so!

    Like sad gits we pick who we think will win & watch as a family each week

    We definitely do not have an ongoing competition where a point is scored for correctly picking garment of the week and who’s being eliminated, the points totted up at the end of the series and the loser making breakfast in bed for the winner. Definitely not.

    Back when we had a TV I used to enjoy similar programs like Really, Really Big Ships And How They Get Them Loaded Up or whatever.

    Also not-quite-good-enough Sci-Fi like Stargate.
