    Greys anatomy. You watch one episode on tv because there's nothing else on and the next thing you know you're borrowing your sisters box set. CSI is another, just because it's ridiculously over the top.

    what?? Over 75% of WWE audience are 18-35 year old males. John Cena has introduced alot of kids and women to pro-wrestling but to say WWE is solely for children is rubbish (violence, half naked women, drinking, bad language), if i had children i wouldn't like them watching WWE.

    respected journalists like Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer waste their time reporting on pro-wrestling it seems :rolleyes:

    Back home it was all the usuals - Corporation Street, Eastenders, Emerdale, Hollyoaks, Home & Away, Neighbours. Still watch the latter two over here.

    Agree with the Grey's Anatomy thing. It really should b sh1t and not watched by guys but I'll admit that when I buy my gf the box sets it's not entirely a selfless good deed.

    We were in a lofty mood when the telly broke. We decided to part company with the cyclops and improve our minds. Now I catch myself sneaking over to a nearby bar to watch Am College Football on Saturdays. Shhhhhh! Don't tell my flatmate!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,461 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    I too have been snared by Ugly Betty due to the other half. Desperate Housewives too, but there's a fair bit of eye candy in it, so I have my reasons!

    Dragon's Den.

    It's like the WWE of Business - flashy, scripted, predictable (tho thankfully there's no half-naked women). *ewww* (Meaden)

    Weirdly enough Princess Puss there was born within a year of this beauty who features on BBC2 right before DD. Lawson.

    Now there's an English rose whose bowl I wouldn't mind licking.

    Strictly Come Dancing....I dunno why I like it but I do.

    Not normal for a 25 year old male probably

    Damn, nearly a whole day without a melody, now it's in my head. THANKS!

    My others, Grey's Anatomy it's actually a good show, I like it. Although yer man - Preston Burke is now acting in Bionic Woman TV Series (another sin, I know), I'm having a hard time detaching him from his Greys role to where he is now.

    Brothers and Sisters - the wife suckered me into this. Very silly sometimes but witty and funny too.

    Cheers

    Jeremy Kyle is great and also Maury (think its on Tv3)

    Ugly Betty (Just good television)

    Charmed ( Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan, how can you not watch)

    The Panel ( I have no excuse for this one sorry :o)

    I heard off an American friend that wrestling is really popular among redneck white trash types.

    And why wouldn't they love it? With the possible exception of International Warfare wrestling is the most patriotic sport known to man kind (and the Rock for that matter).

    dear god... someone had the balls to say 'pro' wrestling isn't for children.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,149 ✭✭✭ZorbaTehZ


    Ugly Betty and Big Brother when it was on. I told no-one nearly.

    wha, so they cater to transgender folk too.. I don't see your point.

    Desperate Housewives - watched it for the first two seasons but got out of it after that.

    Ugly Betty - was made watch this by the girls in my flat last year but thankfuly I dont watch it anymore.

    Stargate SG1 - would never tell anyone I watch it. I did watch the spin off of it as well when sg1 was still on but once they stopped I stopped watching the spin off.

    Now Grays Anatomy, O.C, Nip Tuck, CSI (not miami tho) are all great shows and no-one should be ashamed watching them.

    Though I do admit to watching reruns of the O.C because I miss it so much:o. I know im sad but it was a great show and my hole year at school watched it as well mainly because we were the same age as the characters and were is in the same year so we were doing the same stuff like saying good bye to school applying to college ect.

    I tried One Tree Hill to fill the void of the O.C but it just wasnt the same.
