I hadn't watched it before, but this season of MasterChef has a really inspiring storyline. One of the home cooks who has made it to the top-4 is very nearly blind. The way she's overcome her lack of eyesight on that show has been nothing short of inspiring.

I've watched the entire season so far and she is a true inspiration.
Her positive attitude, determination and absolute talent are amazing.

I can always watch those countdown shows. I've spent full Sunday afternoons glued to "100 Most Awesomely Bad Songs of the 90s" and of that ilk. I watch mostly for the social commentary from the B-list comedians and actors and sometimes for the nostalgia.

I, of course, have my favorite TV shows, but I think there are a few guilty pleasure things I watch that I will watch over and over again although I've already seen them (which I assume is the point of the thread...not just favorite shows):

My two are the VH1 "I Love the" series and "The Greatest" series

I Love the 80s
I Love the 90s
I Love the New Millennium
100 Greatest Songs of All Time
100 Greatest Artists of All Time
100 Greatest Songs of the 90s
100 Greatest Hip Hop Songs
100 Most Shocking Music Moments
100 Greatest Songs of the 00s

I have watched all of these numerous times, and I will sit there and watch them in their entirety if I catch them on and have the time.

(Looking at "The Greatest" website on VH1.com, looks like there's WAY more episodes than I realized...too bad I don't have VH1) :(

BAH!!! I was typing as you posted. I'm glad someone else gets it. and YES the awesomely bad songs is a favorite, how could I forget that from my list???

Grimm
Trueblood
Homeland
Boardwalk Empire
Game of Thrones
Person of Interest
college and NFL Football (especially Aggies and Cowboys:))

New shows I love:
The Glass House
Go On
Breaking Amish (I live very close to a large Amish population but they're so private it's intriguing)

I watched an episode of 'Go On' and I liked it. Did that just start this year? I had never heard of it, then I caught an episode a couple weeks ago, but I heard the premier is tomorrow..

Confused!

But I'm watching.. :)

The episode you saw was the Pilot (it aired once during the Olympics and again tonight). They keep referring to it as a "sneak peek into the season". The "official"(?) season starts tomorrow with episode 2.

Ok.. That makes sense! Haha. Thanks

1. Ghost Hunters. The original series. A few years ago, I was taking some acting classes and one in particular was only available on Wednesdays. Class was supposed to end at 9:30 but always ended around 10, so whole drive home was spent excited about the episode. Thank heaven for DVR, because the show came on at 9pm!

2. Boardwalk Empire. Can't wait for the new episodes!

3. Heroes and 24. Though they both were cancelled, my husband and I were obsessed with the shows.

And now I'm obsessed with Keifer Sutherland's new show, 'Touch'. Sooo good.

Sons of Anarchy.....just started watching, and it's great. Catching up via Netflix....

WKRP In Cincinnati.

The Miss America Pageant.

The Day the Universe Changed.

NHK News.

I am loving Revolution. It's nice to have a reason to look forward to Monday!

No longer watching. I've tried, I really have. However, the pilot episode is the only one that I really found amusing.
