For me, I sampled some new shows, and I still watch them:

Freddie - originally for Jacqueline Obradors, but the grandma's Spanish dialogue is pretty funny too. Green and Prinze are actually pretty funny, but I still only laugh AT the Prinze character.

Twins - it's light and fun.

Out of Practice - it's finally caught its footing around episode 3, I like the ensemble cast.

Hot Properties - anything with Gail O'Grady I'll probably stare at.

Laguna Beach. I don't know why, but it damn addictive. I also watch the Real World every now and then this season.

This has been some week for admissions for me. First, I admit that the girlfriend pees on me in the shower, and now this: I watch The Young and the Restless......and I like it.

It started when the gf and I just began dating. It was something she enjoyed doing that I did in order to, as she puts it, earn 'points'. Now it's become sort of a ritual that we sit down every night and watch that days Y&R.

I don't like it to the point of watching it without her or anything like that, but it's enjoyable enough that I no longer watch it with the purpose of earning points.


And besides, Victor Newman =

I certainly hope you have enough sense to never, ever tell her this.

I do. Lately I'm losing points just as fast as I can earn them, so I'm not about to go and give up one of my major sources of pointage.

Does it just have to be new shows?

I still watch What I Like About You and still find the show to be funny.

Well, I still also watch:

Two and a Half Men - just simply a great mesh of writing and acting. I LOL a lot when I watch this show.

America's Next Top Model - mainly for the cattiness and hoping the lightbulb goes off in some of the contestant when it comes to modeling.

I'm sure that's enough to get the impeachment process underway..

If I had to judge my viewing habits according to comments made in TV Talk, then i'm not ashamed to admit that I watch the Simpsons, Law & Order: CI, Prison Break and Lost. And I enjoy 'em all.

If I were judging it by the real world, then i'd have to admit to watching One Life To Live and General Hospital. However, I don't know if I could say I "like it". Occasionally there are some good things, but it's pretty much a habit. Much like Smallville, to a lesser degree..

I actually thought about catching Freddie and Hot Properties for the reasons Patman listed [in addition to Sofia Vergara and, in some instances, Nicole Sullivan], but I just couldn't do it.

Going by some of the comments in this very forum, mine would have to be SNL.

I don't think I really have one. All I watch on TV are:

Lost
Invasion
Desperate Housewives
ER
Law and Order
Law and Order: SVU
Scrubs
PTI
and all manner of sports and highlights shows.


I guess on the forum Invasion would be the pick, as everyone seems to hate it. In real life, many people are surprised I like Desperate Housewives. But I don't consider either to be guilty pleasures personally.

I hate Crossing Jordan, but I haven't missed a single episode. Why? Because I like all of the characters except for Jordan C. herself. How messed up is that?

Coming from a family who worships mexican soap operas and redicules the "white" soaps that never ever end I admit that I watch (and like) All My Children, One Life To Live, and General Hospital. That's right, I'm guilty three times over and I'm a guy!

I'm embarrassed to admit that i LOOOOVE:

"The Nanny shows"... my favorite being "Suppernanny" (Jo Frost, will you marry me? )
"The Wife swap shows"... my favorite being "Wife Swap"

"Girlfriends" on UPN.... Total "urban" chick show but I like it for some reason.
"Maury"... especially when he's doing "DNA test shows".
"Becker(late night reruns)"...very funny show

I forgot about Related. I watch that every week, but there is never a thread here about it.

I wonder why these guys even agree to go on that show anymore.

"Honey, I have something to tell you and we're going on the Maury show." As soon as you hear those words, you should pretty much know why your kids don't look like you.
