Yes, I am! I have kinda given up Jersey Shore...but, Bring on Project Runway ALL-Stars, Top Chef, Iron Chef, Chopped, Toddlers & Tiaras, Dance Moms. This is what I watch while I am in my craft room, they keeps me company! I know I'm not alone...hehe A girls gotta have more than her stamps, pencils or copics.
More than Copics....Some would consider those fighting words....
I don't watch a lot of tv, but sometimes at night I do watch Storage Wars, Pawn Stars and Pickers with my hubby. *If* I decide to watch for myself, I always choose HGTV. My 9 year old and I like to watch House Hunters.
Usually if I watch t.v. it is TLC, Hallmark, or Lifetime. I watch movies and some reality shows: Project Runway (I love Tim Gunn's "make it work"!), What Not to Wear, Cake Boss...now DD has me watching Chopped and Cupcake Wars.
I also tune into Toddlers and Tiaras sometimes...that show is kind of like a train wreck for me...don't want to watch, but can't help it. I feel sorry for a lot of the kids and think a lot of the moms are goofy...it's like they are living vicariously through their kids. I always wonder if they are embarassed when their episode airs?! There's just something about the show that fascinates me!
We watch Hard Core Pawn, Storage Wars (Yuuuuuuuup!), watched the first season of Moonshiners (Gotta love Tickle!) and when the hubs is not around, you can find me hangin' with my Real Housewives of either NY or NJ! Oh, and can't forget Hell's Kitchen (SHUT IT DOWN!) and the other storage guys...Ton and Haff...can't remember what it's called.

So far, you all are naming more shows I forgot about! I JUST watched a marathon of Storage Wars...the Yuuuup guy would give me nightmares after a day of bidding. lol. Barry is my FAV on there. Hard Core Pawn...LOVE them, been to the store, saw Les...Better looking IRL...yum
House Hunters and HH International...my kinda shows too! We all watch that in our house.
I LOVE Tim Gunn. I also...LOVE that Jeff Lewis and Flipping Out. I swear, I would fit in so well with working with his OCD butt. He is coming to to a store by me, next week.Him and Jenny...I am gonna scam my way in if I can. Hehe, connections baby!
I guess I should also say that I just watched an American Pickers marathon and I liked them too. I like that I have so many more options on cable and I look at the pawn/picking/auction shows, as learning. There is lots of info on them shows. So, that's my story and I'll stick to it.
When I'm in my craft cave creating alone (meaning my grandboys aren't in there and aren't hoggin' the tv) I watch all those murder mystery shows...the true tv stuff, not CSI or Law & Order type shows. My hubs always says to me, "are ya gettin' tips?...do I need to leave a note on who did it?" lol... I just love all the forensic science stuff. Otherwise if I pull my stuff in the living room to craft with the family, it's Storage Wars, Pawn Stars, Pickers...or the tv is dominated by the grandboys with Nick Jr, lol.
Paula.. you didn't tell anyone our *secret* ..... I am ADDICTED to judge shows..LOL.. I tape (yes I am from the 80's) EVERY DAY and get depressed and feel pathetic when it is a repeat.. People's court, Judge Judy, Judge Alex, Judge Mathis.. what's wrong with me??? LOOOOVE Pawn stars, storage wars.. any PAWN show.. and when I am desperate, I watch Antiques Roadshow! LOL. Watch Toddlers and Tiaras (what is WRONG with these people and WHY DO I WATCH THIS?), Dance moms... I also love project runway and just finished the series about the artists.. forgot what it was called but LOVED every minute of it...
Ok, now that that's out.. i feel SO MUCH BETTAH!

nooooo, i was not spilling the beans on how much I LOVE Judge Judy and Judge Milian. I loved Peoples Court as a kidand Judy is NOT gonna let no wool be pulled over her eyes. I am obsessed with how nice Milian's nails are and seeing what color polish she's wearing. Now there really is something wrong with that...but again, I am learning what to do and not do. I love a good 'train wreck', that's for sure. I am also itchin' to get home and watch a few episodes...cause yes, I DVR them every day.
Tanya, I go in spurts and we all watched the CSI, and those type shows in my house. My daughter is into Criminal Minds, but I need very mindless stuff when crafting. If I watched something to follow and pay attention, I would get nothing done. Ok, here is one last TV confession from me. I am terrified of doing anything that would land me in a womens prison. BUT, Locked Up Abroad, and any jail/prison show...I have to watch.
LOL, what lives we lead, huh!
I am a big Judy fan too! So much so that when I find myself saying "Uuum" I can hear Judy saying "Um is not an answer!" I think my husband has caught on that I have a little bit of a crush on Judge Alex, too! haha! Paulatracy, sounds like we could share the DVR because we watch all the same things!! Some shows I watch just so I can yell at the TV! Every time I hear "In the heart of Detroits 8 Mile" I hear my husband in the kitchen yelling "My kid coulda got KILLED!" hahah!!!

I watch hoarders, gold rush, pawn stars, American pickers, storage wars, hard core pawn, and the Kardashians. I'm sure others too....I'll think of more after I post for sure! Lol

I have a small TV in my craft room that I put on while I craft.
When I craft I like to watch re-runs of sit-coms or movies, so I don't have to look at the screen. If I'm watching the screen I stop stamping and that wouldn't be good.
Too many to list here -- I love all TV and a big chunk of programming is reality so I watch it and get hooked. TLC, Oxygen, OWN, MTV, VH1, Food Network, get the picture? Soon American Idol will be back then, my favorite show, So You Think You Can Dance.

Oh and the shows like Dateline and 48 Hours...all the unsolved mysteries and who done it type stuff. Every now and then I'll watch the Kardashian's. Oh and the Biggest Loser.
Tanya I love all the crime shows like The Killer Next Door, Deadly Women, Deadly Attraction, Almost Got Away With It.... You get the picture. I joke with Donnie all the time that he better watch out.... I understand forensics from watching these shows! Lol

Oh boy...I have a love/hate relationship with 'reality' tv. I love Iron Chef, Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives...OK, pretty much any Food Network Show. I watch American Idol because the hubby does. I LOVE So You Think You Can Dance.
The other day I caught a bit of Love & Hip Hop and I am pretty sure I lost IQ points during those 5 minutes. I can't watch any of the "Real" Housewives or Jersey Shore stuff either.
Lately I have been getting sucked into more regular shows...Suburgatory, Two Broke Girls and American Horror Story
Oh man... I forgot about American Horror Story. I am so sad that it ended and it better come back. Dylan McDermott, 50yrs old...omg. Dexter is my other all time fav show, and Homeland was awesome. I gotta keep Showtime and HBO just for their shows...lol.
I am a big Judy fan too! So much so that when I find myself saying "Uuum" I can hear Judy saying "Um is not an answer!" I think my husband has caught on that I have a little bit of a crush on Judge Alex, too! haha! Paulatracy, sounds like we could share the DVR because we watch all the same things!!

Oh man... I have watched Judge Alex at Emily's, he's a cutie...I like him. And Judy, I too, agree...um is not an answer! Haha. BTW, just saw in the newest US magazine, the Judy is the highest "buzz" of the week, they said she should run for president. She's a smart cookie.
Celebrity Apprentice, Dancing W/ the Stars and I guess mostly murder and mayhem, anything on Discovery ID anything doing w/ forensics or murder mysteries. My dear husband is very afraid(HAH HA).

Uh oh, Celeb App. Starts on feb... I love me some Trump!

I really love Cake Boss too!
And I'm sorry to say it, but I have a routine with my sister where we get together every Monday to watch the Bachelor or the Bachelorette when it's playing (ie. a new season has just started up )
I used to catch Jersey Shore, but other things have recently taken its place in the priority scale - it's weird cause I know it's a stupid show, but I just can't help it! LOL

I'm really in the minority. I can't stand reality TV! It started as a cheap way to make television during the writer's strike and it's caught on like wildfire and it's spreading like weeds.
When I turn on the television (or my computer) it's to watch fiction, something with a storyline--even if it's a bad one. There's enough real drama in real life. I don't need to watch people screaming, crying, name calling, backstabbing for real on TV, too.
A few years ago, we gave up cable and went strictly with Netflix. We aren't watching the up-to-date TV shows but we don't mind. We love streaming movies and playing DVDs. We watch sitcoms, dramas, comedy...doesn't matter if there's blood and killing, cheating spouses, gansta talk, snotty teens so long as it's not real.
I forgot about Sister Wives... Does anyone else watch that one? I would love to know how he decides to stay the night with which wife etc.... Lol
Dang, I was watching sister wives and I didn't see the end of this past season. It's one of those shows I look back at at 'on demand' and I forgot about it. He doesn't have any certain order, he just bounces around to keep them all happy. He seems to really lie that new one. Me, not so much! Lol
Has anyone seen the commercials for Taboo Odd Couples??? Looks interesting! Lol
Not seen the commercials, but I have seen lots of Taboo's, a year or so ago. Are they making new ones? Must look this up.tonight I am enjoying some American Pickers...so addicted!
I liked Sister Wives but then when the new wife came on board I kind of did not like it as much. Cody is pretty smarmy...beard, no mustache creeps me out...and I want to smack Mery sometimes because I think she is just not all that bright. HAHA, that would be an example of a show that I watch and yell at the TV!

Me, too! Judge Mathis is beginning to get on my nerves, but I love People's Court, Judge Judy, Judge Alex...
I think Cody is partial to the new wife as well. That show amazes me because they say they do this do to religious believes but they really don't make me see how living this way has anything to do with religion kwim?

Hmmmm... Don't know if it's an old show or not. Just caught a commercial and set it up to record. Looked a little weird... Right up my alley! Lol

I watched the TABOO/Odd Couples last night. I will keep my opinions to myself. I found the Little person girl & tall hubby, kinda interesting...just would rather have not seen them kissing and laying on the bed. The lady with the two husbands and purple hair. That WHOLE thing grossed me out. Did I turn it off? no. lol
Tonight! miss thang is back on Toddlers and Tiaras...this childs kills me!!
Reality TV obsessed?
