My 4 Wives Blush
Where can I find the Charmed reboot - please say it's not just in America.

Also love Say Yes to the Dress - Randy is a beautiful human being. I got quite pissed off when the new guy was do rude to him. Don't like the UK version - there is no charm to it!

I feel no guilt. My head needs a break from worrying about the state of the nation!

@florentina1 love curvy brides boutique. They've really tapped into a great market and i love seeing them make the brides feel special especially when they help them get ready on the day.

God I love Hunted

It's rigged to fuck though

JaneJeffer · 07/01/2019 12:17

I love Breaking Amish and Return to Amish although I don't believe some of them who say they've never had alcohol before!

halfwitpicker · 07/01/2019 13:07

Come Dine with Me.

I find it so funny its not even true.

halfwitpicker · 07/01/2019 13:10

Also low calibre cooking shows : pioneer woman, ina garter etc.

'Oh, warm 2 kilos of Cool Whip, add 4 litres of heavy cream, stir in 4 pounds of budder and add to a bought pie crust. Fill your boots, people!'

So bad.

Candymay · 07/01/2019 13:47

I’m here for ideas! I really don’t watch much tv and yet when I find something I like I get so much enjoyment from it! It’s so relaxing and keeps me company when I’m ironing etc.

Recently I discovered Benidorm on Netflix. We all watched the whole 10 or so series in a few weeks! I did feel slightly embarrassed but we enjoyed it so much- children and myself.

I’m going to keep checking here for more tips!

bellinibobble · 07/01/2019 13:54

@halfwitpicker you cannot put the goddess Ina Garten in the same league as Pioneer Woman, I won't allow it.

But yes.. pretty much anything on Food Network/Good Food. My OH and I especially love to turn the sound down on Nigel Slater and say rude things Grin

MyFamilyAndOtherAnimals1 · 07/01/2019 14:32

@halfwit - ahh, I'm sure everyone secretly loves a little bit of Come Dine with Me!

My most recent fave has been Queer Eye on Netflix! They're all soo lovely!!

...on and a gardening program with Monty Dom... can't remember what it's called but he's a sweety!

I love gossip girl too , have watched it all the way through at least 3 times (im 40 years old)

Sarahlou63 · 07/01/2019 14:55

Jeremy Kyle. Watch it every day.

You can close this thread now - nothing will top that.

BartonHollow · 07/01/2019 15:05

@Sarahlou63

It depends on the Jeremy Kyle for me - his inspirational people tripe? No thanks

People storming on/off stage because some dead eyed buck toothed bloke has slept with a woman he didn't know was his cousin?

All over that shit.

skippy67 · 07/01/2019 15:16

Gossip Girl. I love Chuck Bass (swoon...)

DistanceCall · 07/01/2019 15:19

A Discovery of Witches.

It's SO BAD, and Teresa Palmer can't act her way out of a paper bag, I cringe for Matthew Goode and Lindsay Duncan, who are actually excellent actors doing the best they can with a crap script.

Gorgeous scenery, though.

CheeseTheDay · 07/01/2019 15:23

I noticed a couple of mentions of Victorious. Add me to the list too. Whenever DD2 use to want to watch it, I'd pretend to roll my eyes in disgust, but secretly I was delighted.

Now DD3 (8) has discovered it on Netflix, so oh no, poor Mummy has to watch it all again. Whatever will she do (while she secretly hides how happy she is).

I also love the new Sabrina, Riverdale, and The Gilmore Girls.

I have no shame about my love of Supernatural, and nor is it secret, everyone knows how much I love it.

FrenchyQ · 07/01/2019 15:30

My husband downloads me alot of American tv, i suffer with quite bad insomnia so i watch alot of tv..
Greys anatomy
law and order suv
chicago fire, pd and med
Shameless

I was really sad when they cancelled revenge, it was trashy but so good!

On normal tv i love canadian border force and any behind the scenes ambulance shows.

rabbitfoodadvocate · 07/01/2019 15:32

Oh man.

Gilmore Girls
The OC
Early Made in Chelsea

I'm such a trash bag for crap tv sometimes!

Yearofthemum · 07/01/2019 15:41

The Voice.

thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 07/01/2019 15:43

I actually don't watch TV, or very rarely. But I always watch Made in Chelsea when the season is running. I daren't tell anyone in real life.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 07/01/2019 15:51

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders - Making the Team.

America’s Next Top Model.

Dance Moms.

Counting On (the series of programmes following the Duggar family, that TLC made when they had to drop the 19 Kids and Counting series after Josh Duggar’s sex scandals).

AppleBlossomArseCheeks · 07/01/2019 15:55

Liam bakes

I absolutely love it, but others find it cringe

CarolDanvers · 07/01/2019 15:56

Jersey Shore. I love that show and am so happy it's back. I love the cast and follow them all on twitter and IG. I would never admit it in real life though.
