Bad TV Appreciation Thread

I know Alton Brown is supposed to be good. But why do I think the guy comes of like a cock sometimes?

And for no good reason, even though the show was awful. I would watch Digimon back in the day. I know I keep saying it, but damn was I pissing away my life then.

Jim Gaffigan said watching the Food Network while hungry is akin to watching porn.

And he was right.

That being said, I'll watch BBC America all day, but with one caveat: only when I'm hungover.

"Cash in the Attic?" For three solid hours?

Sure, I'll watch the shit out of it. And after that will be "You Are What You Eat" for the next two.

[Ed Hocken]

I'm always a sucker for the "I love the .... series". Those opening intros always seem to crack me up.

[Lesley]

Interesting to hear. I must say that they fake it well.

My wife LIVES AND BREATHES for this fucking show and 'Clean House'. She's constantly turning these fucking things on and screaming for me to COME QUICK because I have to see something.

We used to watch Clean House non stop when Style network was pretty much the only good cable channel that we had. I love Miss Niecy and her big flowers.

I love Miss Niecy and her big flowers.

She is arguably the BEST HOST that I've ever seen for one of these fucking shows. She is genuinely fun to watch.

When we didn't have cable, all we watched was the Style network. Clean House is fucking hilarious.

Well Alton is a fucking god. He has kickass recipes and you learn science. It's like Mr. Wizard with badass food.

Also, Digimon? Really? Didn't that come out in like 2000 or something? Which means you'd be like 18-20? If so, jesus man. I thought Ceej was bad.

[Ed Hocken]

Had to have been. 2000-2001 were some horiffic times in my personal life though. If you want to know, you can ask. But I'd rather not get bogged down in it.

Plus, I didn't watch the crap religiously or follow it. It was just on.

Thankfully, I never got into ICP.

We've all had horrific times in our lives, Ed. The bad times are there to make us appreciate and respect the good times when they come around.

[Ed Hocken]

You better believe it, Judas. It also reminds me of how much I hate that part of the decade.

[Matt]

I won't lie, you've got me curious at to what happened. It's your business, though.

[Abraham Smashington]

I don't want to know. I just want to make fun of Ed for watching Digimon for fuck's sake.

[Ed Hocken]

Well it began in '99. But it boils down: Parents divorce, dad remarries, Mom moves to even more suburban area, dad kicks me out of the house, went to live my mom, worked fast food for nine months.

. haha. DIGIMON DIGITAL MONSTERS!

[Ed Hocken]

Yes, digimon. The Pokemon knockoff, where every creature had the -mon suffix and the weakest/lamest character was somehow a god at the moment when they are needed.

What sucks even more, the fact I never touched a drug or a drink during that entire time. Granted, I didn't have a car at the time. But still, I have no idea how I kept it together.

[Matt]

Did your Dad kick you out of the house because of the whole gay thing?
