Impractical Jokers

Best show on TV. XD

Even better: when 120 customers (checked with the cash registration paper) don't even bother making a queue and just all rush to your counter at the same time to eat "NOW!" :o)

Yep +1, I forgot that one.
Quite true, I am waiting for us all to get letters through the door each day telling us we should upgrade our windows to 10!

The only one I have enjoyed yet: Don't Tell the Bride where the groom has to organize the whole wedding ceremony. It's a British format, here in Germany it would be made very dramatic and very annoying (e.g. groom would always fail at something and jeopardize the wedding).

That reminds me half a year ago when I went to buy a Sub from a nearby Subway. There was a trickle of people coming there, and the young woman there had to apologize from each individually that she is out of many of the ingredients but she will see what she can offer, and she may have to close soon (because soon she will have nothing more to sell).

I was surprised a place like that could run out of stuff, so I asked what had happened, a shipment didn't come or just a busy day. The latter, apparently there had been some junior football tournament at the field next to it, and suddenly countless hungry football players (and possibly some audience) had come to buy subs. I presume we are talking about hundreds rather than mere dozens. There was also a small drive-in McDonalds nearby too where many probably also went, but I am sure that Subway got lots of action that day.

I felt sorry for her, it was Sunday and she had been working alone in the Subway, and she had probably expected a slow day at work. Oh well, at least she apparently got home early if she really ran out of main ingredients to sell, like she suggested.

Yeah, anyone who thinks cooking is an easy job has obviously never cooked for more than 10 or 12 people at once...

I've never actually seen it, but I thought that was basically the point of it... it usually is with those kind of programs.

I like reality, but no tv.

I do enjoy "Face-Off", which is a special effects makeup contest shown on SyFy. Not only is it cool to watch the designs take shape, but the contestants help each other out instead of backstabbing. It's the only contest-type show I watch regularly.

I watch "Outrageous Acts of Science" because I enjoy the combination of funny/interesting video clips with science commentary.

My "guilty pleasure" is "The Secret of Oak Island"; even though they dramatize it, the Money Pit mystery has fascinated me since I was small, and I hope these guys actually find some good evidence.

Edit: Forgot to add I also sometimes watch the reno/DIY shows as well.

That used to be one of my favorite shows, but somehow I just lost interest and can't stand the show anymore. I don't know why, I used to find it interesting how they try to simulate some myths whether they could be true, but now I just find it boring and even find it odd the hosts seem (act?) to be excited about doing the experiments.

Do you mean you didn't see the final series recently? I kind of went in and out of it, but made a point to watch the final setires. Was ok, quite an epoch really. Scaring the elephant with the mouse was a good episode.

might just be familarity
familarity breeds contempt after all
and they have been doing it for 14 years so what once was great now seems fairly old hat

i used to think it was great
i still think its great but i also think its kind of been there done that these days

maybe the last season can fix that

i hate to admit it but i watch reality shows... and enjoy them. *shame mode



they are perfect for a quick fix of relaxation, half hr brainless shows that require no effort on my part to chillax on. i love emergency room ones (ive watched so many that im pretty sure im a doctor now :P), following detectives around as they solve or dont solve murders, shows of other cultures like the amish, or different jobs like deep sea fishermen or loggers. ill even admit to watching shows about little people or folk with disabilities and much to my chagrin a housewife or three. dance moms and kid pagentry. one thing i have learned, scripted drama or not .. is that people are pretty much the same


i know. i have a problem. shun me

I don't like reality show.
There is very small reality in those shows.

I don't like TV. At least national TV. I can't even find at least one frequency/ channel that has something interesting. I do like some channels though like National Geo, Animal Planet (I think that's the name), Motors TV - basically anything that has documentaries about planet Earth, animal kingdom, people/ tribes, space/ cosmos etc.

Does Jackass count? I used to watch a lot of Jackass and Wildboyz back in the day.

Les Stroud's Survivorman was also really good. The last show I watched was Life Below Zero which was pretty good, though I hated the way they edit the show.
