Literally all of the above. I love trash TV.

Personal favourites - the Kardashians, married at first sight and any police drama show.

CanIGoToBedNow · 03/10/2018 10:31

My 72 year old mother is currently obsessed with keeping up with the Kardashian’s which I think is hilarious

Dickinson's Real Deal Grin

oldgimmer78 · 03/10/2018 12:04

Not TV but I have fallen down the rabbit hole of family Youtube vloggers (not any of the big ones) and it is completely addictive car crash watching Blush They are in competition with each other in the race to "get 1k subs" and spend a lot of time slagging each other off, ranting, crying etc. One of them is pregnant and had to take a few days off vlogging no big loss because the stress from another family was getting to her. It's all very hyped up drama, but very more-ish. The really weird thing is that they think by vlogging every day that they are doing this massive form of public service, when it's actually just about what they had for dinner and what they bought that day.

Yourenotericlove · 03/10/2018 12:07

The Love Boat (the 1970s one which is repeated on the drama challenge).

God it's awful, but in a brilliant way.

skippy67 · 03/10/2018 12:15

The original Dynasty. Joan Collins rocked!

MrsJayy · 03/10/2018 14:06

Murder, She Wrote.
Columbo (the older ones)
Autopsy on Channel 5, where some attractive bloke in theatre blues makes up an entire life story on someone famous simply by reading the coroner's report on them. Don't know why he's dressed like that, he's only presenting it.

Ilovetea33 · 03/10/2018 14:22

Say Yes to the Dress
Million Dollar Listing
Project Runway
Dinner Date

I love isn't he a real life Dr? Not sure why he is wearing scrubs though he is in a telly studio I think it is to give it a "morgue feel"

MrsJayy · 03/10/2018 14:28

He is a forensic pathologist like Quincy Grin

BishopBrennansArse · 03/10/2018 16:22

Yep, Autopsy has a real life Forensic Pathologist presenting it dumbing it down to the lowest common denominator.

yes I watch it too BlushBlushBlush

FekkoTheLawyer · 03/10/2018 16:26

Tattoo fixers!

If I ever get the remote I sit with a large plate of cheese and crackers, glass of wine and watch history programmes

MrsJayy · 03/10/2018 17:00

Dh records a programme called Timber kings they build 4million dollar log homes (Want one). I found myself getting drawn in and now i make sure he doesn't watch without me that and how it's made is a romantic night in Blush

ARandomPoster · 03/10/2018 17:04

Death in Paradise.
So very predictable and an impossibly large number of tourist deaths on a tiny island with a police force of just 5, but I love it.
