Things that are so shit they're good

[OldFred]

We watched Nightsleeper last night.
Was really looking forward to it.
It was so unbelievably bad but we loved it... DH said it was like a 6th form production😆

I feel like you and I have the same taste in shit TV.

Doctors on BBC1. It's like a modern day Crossroads - every now and then it's quite bonkers and then they throw in some brilliantly acted episodes.
I've been watching it for years and I'm gutted that it's finishing.
Nothing wrong with Law and Order.

I liked Eldorado too.

Sister Wives. It's like watching a slow motion car crash and yet I cannot tear myself away - totally love it!

OMG I've been craving a chicken and mushroom pot noodle for the last few days. Don't think I've had one for 30 years! I get angel delight regulalry for dessert at MiL's and love the fact that she hasn't moved on from this. I'd add tinned ravioli to the list too - smushed onto buttered toast and then covered in cheese.

Gerard Butler has a great line of so bad they're good films. I recently watched Geostorm, which is a classic of the genre! Also Greenland. And any of the Has Fallen series. Then there is Moonfall, which doesn't have GB but is maybe the best/worst of the best/worst.

My whole life is an apprciation of so-bad-it's-good 😂

Roses chocolates.Awful but comforting all at the same time.

Anything where Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is saving the world/his family/usually both at the same time! Saving the world from an earthquake? Excellent! Saving the world from a burning building? Perfect Saturday night viewing! Saving the world from a giant albino gorilla with a side of evil siblings who are absolutely modelled on Don Jr & Ivanka Trump? Sign me the fuck up!

I would watch anything, no matter how piss poor and cheesy, if it's got The Rock in. 😁

For me it's a series called Scorpion. Apparently based on a real person - it's is so so unbelievably far-fetched. I flipping love it 😁

I loved Sunset Beach! I broke my leg and was off work for a few weeks and it genuinely brightened my day when I discovered Sunset Beach. I was so unimpressed when I had to go back to work, it meant I had to watch the 5 hour omnibus on a Sunday 🤣

Oh lol. I came on to this thread to say Nightsleeper, only to discover that the whole thread was started in honour of its enjoyable shitness.
Of all the things in all the world that are so shit they are good, Nightsleeper is so shit that it was the very first thing to come to my mind.

The other main contender, to my mind, is Weston-Super-Mare.

I am going to add nightsleeper to my viewing list... it's clearly got a lot of love here from people I realise are 100% "my people"

sort of in same vein, I'll add super cheesy OTT weddings. Lots of people like to roll their eyes and think it's ridiculous - I absolutely LOVE them. I don't even care if I don't get to go - tell me about them and I'm there for it.

It's absolutely terrible. Poor acting, dreadful storyline, completely unbelievable characters, massive plot holes...

Definitely watch it!

Same! So bad it’s good 😆 I do love me some bad TV sometimes like Doctors - sometimes the plots are moving, sometimes they’re utter nonsense. Will miss it when it’s gone.

Omg yes, and we all fancied the sexy priest!!

Green Pot Noodles (already made several appearances on thread)
First Dates (the tv prog)

Any Goldie Hawn movie.

Chirpy scandi sounding dance hits of the 90s. There's one called Dam Di Da Doo which makes Whigfield sound like Radiohead and it is absolutely brilliant.

Milk Tray are my go to for this kind of hit!

Loving the sunset beach comments too - we had a shrine to the sexy priest in my student flat! I haven't seen enough of doctors but it is essential viewing if off work sick. The Joe Pasquale episode which happened to air right at the start of covid was amazing and probably did a lot to bring people together in adversity.

Oooh speaking of music - Gangnam Style
🎶 🎵 ayy sexy lady.... op, op op oppa gangnam style...🎶

Pot noodle.
The rig I enjoyed but yes it was terrible.
Deadliest catch.

I gave up on ' the rig' programme
Lots of channel five dramas fall into this category though , sometimes I only watch for the threads on them on mumsnet !

All channel 5 films, they're my guilty pleasure 😂

Yes! I particularly look forward to the moral lesson round the dinner table each episode. Especially if it is accompanied with what looks like a roast dinner paired with salad and cobs, and Franks burrowed brow 😂😂

I wasn't into the priest, I like the detective 😃
