TV programmes you are ashamed to like, but do!

[Niall Estick]

Gok Wan and 'How to Look Good Naked'

 

[Fnaar]

P'raps I'm not a typical fella, but give me a choice between an "action" movie with fast cars, explosions etc and "Little House on the Prairie", the little house wins every time!

 

[Kirstie]

DIY SOS
Anything on UKTV food.

 

[Baggy]

Dancing on Ice

 

[yorkshiregoth]

The Biggest Loser (US) and Ugly Betty

Hangs head in shame.

Bonekickers was unmissable in our house. Car crash telly at its best.

I used to watch Eldorado before the BBC dumped it.

Oh yes, Bonekickers, excellent. I had the added advantage of being able to shout knowledgeably at the telly about how they'd never do it like that, and no, we don't all have desktop carbon dating machines....

Timothy Goes to School (Tiny Pop Channel).

Spongebob Squarepants.

"Der der der der der der der der der der der, Spongebob Squarepants!

Der der der der der der der der der der der, Spongebob Squarepants!

Der der der der der der der der der der der, Spongebob Squarepants!, Spongebob Squarepants!, Spongebobbbbb Squarepaaaaants!"

When I was at my sister's house, just after Oli was born, we discovered "Bear Behaving Badly" with Barney Harwood. I'd always avoided Go for It on Radio 4 (which he also presents), but once I'd seen how cute Barney was, I tended not to turn it off straight away. (With the result that some months later I heard the best programme I've ever heard (or seen) on bereavement. Funny how things turn out.)

Deal or No Deal

Deal or No Deal

No, that's a step too far for me. I can't get past shouting "It's just random, pick a box!" at the telly.

 

[Over The Hill]

You've been framed. Now Harry Hill is doing the voiceover it is must-see TV.

Also it sets the low-rent tone for x factor on later.

It is just like being in the Simpsons house.

 

[John the Monkey]

Star Trek: Enterprise

Not only Trek, but the Trek no one really liked. Shame, as I thought it was hitting its stride in the 3rd and 4th seasons.

Those Road Wars/Police Camera Action/Traffic Cops things can be watchable too, especially when they get those uninsured/unlicensed gits...

Tikkabilla when my nippers were younger too, albeit mostly for Sarah Jane and Lorna rather than the content...

 

[cheadle hulme]

+2 for anything police car chase related. Road Wars is chav-tastic.
