I'm wondering if y'all can "recommend" any TV shows that have that quality that they are unintentionally funny. I'm suddenly in the mood for such shows as I'm currently at home with some kind of stomach flu and I feel like I should watch something silly.
I'll give you an example. There's one series that fits the description that I've been hooked on since I discovered it online this spring. It's called The Secret Life of the American Teenager. It's so unrealistic and the dialogue often makes so little sense that you wonder if those actors are intentionally making the show tacky.
Here's one clip from the latest season, but I tagged one thing to the end of it because I found it so appropriate:

i've always found the show "seventh heaven" to be lotsa laffs with its heavy-handed morality lessons and its level of wholesomeness which is so extreme that it becomes a new kind of filth in and of itself. plus, i love the mother on this show. she makes the most beautiful sour stinkeye faces. sometimes she looks just like the grinch.

and if that show makes you feel disgustingly morally superior, i'd recommend then going the opposite direction and renting the most recent season of NIP/TUCK that is available on DVD, because that shit is bananas. you've got to watch it just for the episode where rosie o'donnell gets her face ripped off by an eagle, then gets violated by a "turd burglar" while she's in the hospital (yes, someone steals rosie's poo out of her butt. you read that right.)

personally, i think seventh heaven and nip/tuck would make a beautiful double feature.

nip/tuck def falls into this category. really good brain free entertainment.

Nip/Tuck used to be GREAT! But the last 2 seasons have taken such a dive

I keep watching Lincoln Heights on ABC Family It's bad on so many levels (acting, storylines, overall cheese content) but I keep watching b/c it's the only drama that focuses on a Black family

it went really out there

"Manimal." That was a good bad show.

"Saved By The Bell"

"Small Wonder"

"Out Of This World"

"Punky Brewster" (though that was often more annoying than good bad)

it upset me for a while how bad it got, but then i started to watch it just to see how much more ridiculous it could get.

and it got pretty ridiculous.

angelcat said:

I loved Seventh Heaven. It was so Christian, but clearly their casting director was the gayest man on earth, so it somehow balanced out. Hot new guys kept getting added to the show, and the women just got frumpier. That was awesome.

The 6 million dollar man

the 6 million dollar woman

the incredible hulk

The night gallery...No wait...that was REALLY good!

wonder woman

The gong show

Name that tune

The newlywed game

,

CSI Miami is pure comedy.

Oh God yes this show kills me. That episode that you posted has the worst dialogue I've ever heard. It seems like they're also obsessed with the words/phrases "sex", "dog" "are you going to the funeral?", "vasectomy", "hooker", "Bologna". Someone did a montage of all of this. LOL

As much as I hate reality shows, I did enjoy "I Love New York", "New York Goes To Hollywood", or anything that crazy ass bitch is on.

I remember those two. I used to watch them every Saturday morning. Do you remember "Wonderbug" (I think it was called that). It was about these kids that drove around in this beat up car but when they placed this horn on it (a bicycle horn) the car would turn into a bright red shiny car and it could fly up in the air. There was also another show that came on Saturday mornings that had two ladies that reminded me of "Wonder Woman".

i can't watch it anymore, but i used to get a great laugh out of it.

Anxiety said:

that should be interesting.

Anxiety said:

DUDE, I was pissed!! Especially since I had JUST recommended the show to some people @ work!! I could barely watch that first season in LA But the next season is the last so I'm just gonna enjoy the last bit of camp & fuckery they have to offer

Did u guys see the one where Julian Mcmahons character (at least I think it was him, might have been the other guy ) was having sex with that sex doll and pretending it was some blond woman? Completely creeped me the hell out I never watched it before or ever again after that

Drunkface works my nerves. I thought the Lolita storyline was pretty gross & unappealing. & having her ridiculous ass as the object of affection was just so cheesy.

chillichocaholic said:

I don't remember any doll sex... I remember sex w/ the girl w/ the bag on her head... & remember the chick from Little House on the Prairie fucking her dog I remember the couch fucker, which was dumb... Wait, was it a Kimber doll? Maybe I do remember a bit, but who was fucking it?

it's all coming back now.
