CSI. Strictly as a diversion while stuck in a hotel bedroom you understand.
No TV at home.

Come Dine with me is TV Gold but wouldn't be without the dry commentary from Dave Lamb.

Not a lot else.

Top Gear.

Despite the fact that I'd like to rub Clarksons' face up and down a dry stone wall, I find myself watching it when it's on.

My girlfriend started to watch coleen's real women last night. I was going to protest but once I realised it was basically 1 hour of of watching potent 60 potential models parade around in bikinis I soon relented.

Haha, can I watch please?

Me too though, it's way too obnoxious - but just activates some blokey gene and I'll just sit there and revert to 14 years old as I watch it.

Oh dear. Where to start.
I must point out that I do watch these with my 1 year old son, but still am strangely glued to the screen when he's asleep....

Johnny and the Sprites
Imagination Movers

No excuses on these though....

Primeval - but at least we got a shot of Hannah Spearit in her undercrackers again 😀
And I'm currently watching the Alan Titchmarsh show....

I love Mythbusters - but I'm quite open about watching that.

The wife is well into Grey's Anatomy. Dang it if I haven't started paying attention and know who all the characters are and what's going on each week... Why are American doctors all sexy?

"Come Dine With Me"

Yeh me too on this one, I think it is so ****in funny at times especially when they are slagging each other off, but I really like it when someone thinks they have easily won only to be told they have come last 😀

Rest of the family hate it but I think Eli Stone is superb 😛

I'm starting to get back into Hollyoaks, it's on just after I get home. It's changes a bit since I last watched it though.

Kirsty likes Misomer Murders, and I love to snooze to it. I can't snooze to American shows (CSI etc) because there's always too much shouting and loud bangs in them which wake me up.

:mrgreen:

Almost forgot, I'm addicted to American Idol.

When I do watch TV, which isn't that often, I like the extremes of complete junk or proper quality films, documentaries and 'graduated from Radio 4 comedies. So I have a wierd mix of crap like American Idol and Paris Hilton's BBF and BBC3/4 on a lot of the time. I can't bear 'middle of the road' dramas, soaps or serials.

Come dine with me, is class. Americas Next Top Model (it's naff but it's full of models, no complaints from me), Gossip girl too - largely for Blake Lively, yeah there may be a trend to what I watch ...

I do draw the line/leave the room when the Hills/the city/anything with that Hilton waste of space enters the screen/and pertty much any other reality TV (aside from ANTM).

Another vote for Primeval. ...and also Come Dine With Me. ...and Skins. ...and 10 Years Younger (previous series without Myleene was better)

To add to the list though, we have been watching the new sketch show from those two from Gavin & Stacey 😳

There's nowt wrong with either Sarah Connor Chronicles or Burn Notice. I particularly like the bitchy dialogue between Michael and Fiona, plus Gabriel Anwar is a seriously fit bird! Can't say I've noticed any change in her accent, but for heaven's sake, people living in other countries take on some of the local accent after a while, and there are aspects of Irish in the American accent anyway. FWIW, Gabby Anwar is actually English, she's from Middlesex. Sarah Connor Chronicles also has the utterly devine Summer Glau, for which I would happily forgive any faults in the programme, but it wee's in Heroes and Lost's shoes,
IMHO.

I couldn't possibly agree, that would look bad 😉

Couldn't watch it if we had to bare those terrible Monster Job adverts before each segment! Good throw away TV with a curry on a Friday night. We spend a lot of the show wondering whether Simon's shagging Paula...

I did have a life, once.

come dine with me is great. granted, mainly for the sarcastic voiceover and the knowledge that at least one of the contestants is going to royally screw things up, but still, it's a good watch.

i quite enjoy ugly betty though. but don't tell anyone.

ice road truckers... what a let-down that was. i was expecting to see loads of trucks crashing through the ice and exploding and stuff. but no, it's just huge bearded blokes driving at a sensible speed or whinging about not getting paid cos their trucks need fixing... rubbish.
