I would not only watch that shop every week I would buy it on DVD when it came out.
The Soup (I’ve been watching this since that other guy was hosting!)
Cops (One day, I think I’ll see some former classmates here.)
Any of those ghost hunter/explore the haunted house shows.
American Idol (I stop watching after the auditions though.)
Judge Judy
I can’t get enough of “Clean House.” It just fascinates me how some people can live in such cluttered conditions, and also how they can barely part with the clutter. On the messiest house in American episode, they had something like 5 or 6 construction dumpsters filled with trash and junk, and STILL didn’t make a dent in the house!
My house isn’t spotless or anything (don’t get me started on the dog- and cathair tumbleweeds), but this show makes me feel better.
Niecy Nash can get on my nerves, but not enough for me to miss an episode. 
Cheaters…it’s a guilty pleasure, though they’ve been getting so ridiculous it’s obviously rehearsed.
I love Cops. I think one of the requirements for a guy to get arrested on that show, other than committing a crime, is not owning a shirt, and desperately needing one.
My 10-year-old niece loves My Super Sweet 16. She, alas, takes it seriously, to some extent. She does think the tantrums those girls throw are way immature, however.
Girls Behaving Badly and The Jamie Kennedy Experiment
Gene Simmons’ Family Jewels - It’s not all that funny, but it’s kind of fun to see that despite his huge ego and sexism, he has a nice family. His kids seem very well-adjusted.
AFV - I love that stuff because it’s real, unlike so-called reality TV
I wish they’d bring back Unsolved Mysteries, although it wouldn’t be the same without Robert Stack’s wooden creepiness.
Which other guy? Greg Kinnear? Hal Sparks? Aisha Tyler?
I liked Hal Sparks best. (Yes, I’m aware of my apostasy.)
Rock of Love is seriously at the top of my TV viewing this summer. What’s not to love about the liberal use of “party” and “rock” as verbs?
This is one show I absolutely cannot watch— the most loathsome program I’ve ever seen on a network that has, for years, relentlessly pushed the bar higher for loathsome television. A vacuous showcase for the most horrible people alive: miniature Parishiltonite poseuses and their alternately negligent and overindulgent parents, all wrung through and excreted from the rote, tired MTV hype filter of jittery jump-cuts and hip-hop background drumbeats.
If I had a child, the only way I would allow him or her to watch that show is as a lesson, a stark reminder of the shocking depths to which humanity can lower itself. Consecutive to a documentary on the Shoah, perhaps.
It’s cool that your niece likes it, though.
Wasn’t there a John Henton or something too? The guy with the skunk patch in his hair. That is when I first started watching.
Yeah, that guy!
Steve! Steve! Steve!*
*Steve was Jerry’s main bouncer. He got his share of audience love too. I, er, had to learn this for a test, yeah, that’s the ticket.
So great that I’ve decided to collect it on DVD. I’m up to season 6, The Bundys visit England!
They don’t make trash like that anymore.
looks around
sheepishly Has anyone heard of Total Recall 2010?
Whenever I’m channel-surfing and see a “World’s Wildest Police Chases” show, I HAVE to stop and watch. I think I’m hardwired for it.
John Bunnell is the finest “videos” host of all time, bar none:
"For the criminals, cash is for taking, cars are for chasing and law is for breaking. "
“These teenage junkies were looking for a nicotine fix… but their smoking proved harmful to everyone’s health.”
"The man rams the guardrail, and thats when the police decide to do a little ramming of their own. "
“He was sky high on a two day crack binge and wired to the max. He was never gonna hide from Orange County’s finest. There’s no place for felons like him, that’s why he’s heading straight for the county jail.”
"They tried to run from the police… but they couldn’t escape the law. "

For courtroom shows, nothing tops Eye for an Eye ! Standard courtroom show, but instead of just awarding a judgment to the winner, Judge “Extreme Akim” usually dishes out a punishment to the loser. Once, he awarded a libel judgment against a newspaper reporter who wrote an insulting piece about a women’s roller derby team by making him skate around the track with them! Another time, a sorority member blamed another for getting her kicked out. Akim made them settle it by having a race down a long “slip ‘n’ slide” covered with oil, mud, grease, etc.–in bikinis !
Plus, it’s hosted by Kato Kaelin! And produced by National Lampoon !
Pure trash gold!
Are you kidding?? I HAVE seen a former classmate on there! I happened to watch some Indianapolis episodes a few years ago and saw a girl I went to high school with. She and her younger sister/cousin got picked up in the parking lot of a shopping center for shoplifting. How lame is that?
