As in, what show do you enjoy watching that is the equivalent of eating a bunch of junk food in your underwear?

NCIS I know it’s popular but no one I know watches it. (Old school episodes)
Lucifer. Every episode is the same and I love it.
One of our favorites. I really liked the actor that played Lucifer.
Bluey. I know it’s meant for kids, but some episodes have had me in tatters because the writing is very good, lmao. Their writing team also makes a number of sweet and even poignant episodes. It’s worth a watch.
I’ve watched the grandpa episode where the mom is chasing them around to get him to take care of himself like 10 times and I’ve teared up about it 10 times. I’m bout to start crying in this McDonald’s just thinking about it.
“You used to swim here too”
“That was a long time ago”
“Nah, that was yesterday”
The one where Bandit yoinks Bluey back from the finish line when they are racing so she wouldn’t beat him had me laughing so hard the wife came to check on me.
I watch bluey every night. We try to limit it two episodes at a time. Poignant is the perfect word to describe it! It feels weird to cry multiple times a week lol.
It’s really funny and sweet! Episodes like the Camp made me cry a bit, though. So sweet and emotional, particularly for a children’s show. The writing can be very tender.
Lately it’s been the Black Clover anime.
I binged it. Any idea when the new episodes are coming out?
Unknown.
I’m not usually an anime guy, but I loved black clover.
If nothing is on the TV, I’m putting on a random episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. By far my favorite show. The parody of just the worst people imaginable is my kind of humor.
Bee and Puppycat. It’s just so bat shit insane while also being cozy and hilarious.
I’ve tried to watch it twice and I feel like I just am missing something about it. May be too random for me.
It kinda has a story that you’re dropped in the middle of that’s revealed as the show goes on
Why is my underwear full of junk food?
bar rescue…
you can find me often spouting out taffer quotes.
Anything with James Spader at the moment.
Boston Legal was amazing
I thought this was going to be spam, but it’s an actual show…
I love how the title to the show makes it sound like you might be watching some low quality porn.
Those kooky alien/ufo/paranormal shows pretending to be documentaries. Ancient Aliens, Expedition X, Blind Frog Ranch, Oak Island, that sort of thing. They take themselves so seriously and yet they do the dumbest and weirdest things while “investigating”.
I wish there was a cliff notes version of these that cut out all the drama buildup parts that bookend the commercial breaks.
Along similar lines, we used to love watching Ghost Adventures (we call it Douche Adventures). We used to watch it without fail. Much less often nowadays, but we still enjoy it.
Miraculous Ladybug. Such a dumb show, but I like it. It’s definitely a villain of the week show with a magic fix everything button.

Coronation Street. I spend $10 a month for a BritBox subscription to watch just that.
We often leave it on as noise now, skip to the end of most of the competitions, and routinely ask each other “who the hell is that?” on the final show where they all come back, but my wife and I have been watching US Big Brother since something like Season 3 or 4. At this point, the formulas are clear and they mostly just re-theme the existing competitions. It does seem like they may have retired “The Racist One” as one of the casting mandates; even the MAGA-coded blonde girl who almost won this past season managed not to say anything to get herself kicked out, though this season ended before the election results made racism okay again.
For shows that I enjoy unironically but can’t in good conscience recommend to anyone, my current favorite is the US remake of Ghosts. I am like a moth to flame when it comes to stupid high-concept stuff, but I bail if I don’t like it. Despite the very sitcommy gags and plots, I find the cast charming and the out-of-time twist on the usual banter is fun. But yeah, it’s still very much a zinger-based sitcom full of stock characters in some form of historical cosplay.
Finally, I giggle like a twelve year old with a fart machine through the opening segment of “Wipeout,” where the only question is how hilariously giant foam-covered machinery will clobber people. The only competitive point is who failed the least, and the edit of the episode doesn’t even pretend to frame that in any cohesive way, likely so they can rig it. I generally watch something else once they move to the next phase. I don’t give a single shit who “wins” and the rest of it is just a traditional physical competition game show with a few pratfalls.
Wipeout is absolutely hilarious.
All of those people think they’re not going to fall down, and then they do, with great pneumatic gusto. It’s literal caveman humor, and I’m there for it as long as it’s not trying to be anything more.
