I love Most Haunted & Most Haunted Live. I had applied for tickets to see the current Live show in Morecambe that's happening this week but, alas I was not successful. We don't have Virgin or Sky only Freeview so I can't watch the shows on telly but I do watch them on YouTube albeit a day or so after the fact but at least I get to see them. I also do this with Survivor and the Amazing Race as well since I can't stream them from the Broadcasters websites. Even to the point that I have these programs on a playlist on my YouTube Channel.

Harry Hill's TV Burp. [smiley=blush.gif] It's so silly, but I laugh my head off every time I watch it. I'm also a big X-Factor fan and would go nuts if I missed anything.

America's Next Top Model... I can't stop watching it :P!

Oh, also the Nothing To Declare (Australia's Border Force) show on Living TV... loving that at the moment too (I watch it on my days off and in the morning when I'm on the late shift at work).

Come Dine With Me. I can easily waste 2 1/2 hours of my weekend if I happen to come across the omnibus (the old ones, anyway, when each contestant had their own show).

Big fan of anything humourous QI, Mock the Week, Family Guy, The Inbetweeners, etc etc
 :) - no guilt as laughter is good for you

Big fan of nature, history and gardening programs
 :) - no guilt as it's educational

X factor, Pop Idol etc - the first few episode are great then they go and get all serious on ya
 :-\\\\ - slight guilt as I laugh at the unfortunate ones

Coronation Street
 :-[ - guilty as charged, as it contributes naught

Harry Hill's TV Burp. [smiley=blush.gif] It's so silly, but I laugh my head off every time I watch it. I'm also a big X-Factor fan and would go nuts if I missed anything.

I've liked HH for a while now. Someone else doesn't so I didn't watch as often as I wanted (yep this is a one-telly house). But it turns out the boy loves it so now we watch it.  :)

Cops with Cameras, Road Wars, and UK Border Force lol
We stopped watching because it seems like we had seen them all. Why can't they bring back COPS aka Bad Boys, Bad Boys What ya gonna do...  :)

Still tired of coteries and bans. But hanging about anyway.

Our little one loves HH, too.  :) And You've Been Framed. So we let him stay up and watch both of those, then put him to bed so we can watch X-Factor in peace, though he likes that, too, and tries to stay up to watch it anyway.  ;D

I am so embarrassed to admit this, but... I usually watch Beauty And The Geek on a Saturday morning.  :-[
