Shows you watch that you know are garbage

1. Holey Moley
2. Perro Amor
3. Dark Shadows

Full disclosure: I haven’t watched it since I was a kid in the '60s, but my sister recently re-watched the entire series and gave me the gist blow by creakingly slow blow in our weekly phone conversations.

1. Holey Moley

3. Dark Shadows
4. Family Affair

Watching this show now for the creepy dark side I never noticed was there when I was a kid. It’s not just a matter of knowing what will happen to the actors, or how the kids were treated on set. Even taking the show on it’s own level, there’s a weirdness to it.

I hate to call any show I watch “garbage”; but in the interest of moving this thread along, this show isn’t exactly “The Wire”.
