I have my very own Random Thursday button now. How frickin' sweet is that?
When I met Ryan, there were probably about two shows I watched with any kind of regularity. Ryan loves TV and he has hooked me on so many more shows that I really enjoy: Under Cover Boss, CatFish, Switched at Birth, The Carrie Diaries, Joe Schmo Show to name a few... He also has a penchant for truly *bad* TV (American Idol and The Bachelor, I'm looking at you...)
Here are some I wasted my life on... (and I hope I am not dating myself too much with a few of these)
1. Who Wants to Marry a Mult-Millionaire?
Long before The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, there was Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire? This aired when I was in college and is one of those shows I remember us all piling into a tiny dorm room to watch. It aired as a two hour special. I remember as I watched it feeling partially fascinated and partially disgusted.
2. Dinosaurs
Creepy Jim Henson Dinosaurs. The main joke was the baby always hitting his dad in the head with a frying pan shouting "Not the Mama!" Fun fact: the series ended when an asteroid hit the earth killing all dinosaurs and had a "Warning, this may be disturbing to young viewers" message before it aired.
3. Dora the ExplorerI was lucky that when Isaac was a preschooler he took only a fleeting interest in this show. It could have been so much worse. She addresses her viewers directly and then stares creepily at you during an uncomfortably long pause while you have to decide if it is less bizarre to answer her or ignore her.
4. American Idol
I'm sorry but this show just needs to end. I have never gotten into the series really. When I worked at a group home, the staff would often put it on in the evenings, so I have sort of followed other seasons in a disinterested way. I have caught a little bit of this season and it has hit a new low now that this is the panel of judges:
Nicki Minaj is HORRIFIC. Enough said.
5. A Baby Story on TLC.
It pretty much has the same plot: a lady is pregnant and excited and then she has a baby.

Before I get on to knocking TV shows with you I just have to say, how great has this season of Switched at Birth been this season? I'm loving it.
Ok, so when I was a kid I used to watch Dinosaurs religiously. I think it was the fat annoying baby that always kept me going back haha. And, American Idol hasnt been good since the first season. They're not helping themselves with all these crap judges like Niki & Mariah either. Ick.
Thanks for linking up with us!
I always watched the Dinosaurs as a kid. But I did not know about the last episode. :)
I can't believe who wants to marry a multi millionaire is an actual show. but then again I used to watch the bachelor so I shouldn't really say anything.
agree with the American idol thing. like c'mon people. they should have ended with a high note. whenever that was...
Ugh, American Idol. So glad I didn't succumb to that train wreck.
I'm kinda glad I missed out on most of these. They sound terrifying!
Thanks for linking up with us!
Yes, American Idol is pretty bad. It was exciting and fun the first couple of seasons but now, it's tiresome and boring.
