Movies/Shows that are SO bad that you blindly keep watching them!!

[Monster Dave]

Hey Everyone!

So I don't know what came over me this morning, but I was looking for something to watch on TV and saw Top Gear was on. Paying no attention to the channel, I tuned in only to discover that it was Top Gear USA...:facepalm

Needless to say, we love BBC Top Gear....after only a few minutes of having TG USA on, my fiancee looked at me and said that she felt bad for me for having to watch such lousy programming!!

Anyway, after an hour and multiple times saying to myself that I needed to change to something else, I found myself STILL watching it and thinking..."this HAS to get better..." ...but it never did...

So I got to thinking, what movies or shows have you guys/gals watched that lend themselves to this sort of ill-fated optimism??

Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

It's bad for Star Trek, it's bad in on itself, but I can't help but keep watching it. Even though I never want another product like TMP again, I still love it.

Haven't in a while, but sometime in the last decade I watched TWO ENTIRE seasons of The Real Gilligan's Island "reality" show.

It was SO bad, and SO staged, I'm embarrassed writing this post.

My only fond memory of it was Nicole Eggert as "The Movie Star" Ginger.

I also suffered through the most recent incarnation of Knight Rider when the pilot aired...there's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back...

The cape I just kept watching it thinking it will get better but it didn't

Almost any Sy-Fy movie. Gads they are awful......and yet I can't stop watching them once I start.

Mostly in amazement that someone thought this would be a good idea. The horribly cheesy cgi effects. The horrible sets. The casts.

A rational person would change the channel. But nooooooo.

:lol

I'm a firm believer that when they changed the name to "Sy-Fy" they lost all claims to reputable programming!

Once Upon a Time. I think its crap but I still watch it and I haven't found anything better on at 8pm on Sundays.

 

[SVTStingRay]

Sons of guns. thought it was gonna be a great show about gun builds, but has turned into herp/derp fighting with little gun building.

Terminator Salvation.

I thought this movie was bad from the get-go. Kept getting worse until about halfway through (when Marcus escapes with help from Blair)- at that point I wanted to just get up and walk out.

But I didn't as I still had "some" blind hope the film would improve, even just a wee bit...

I stayed for the heart transplant.

Never before had I ever wanted two hours of my life back so much. :facepalm

I stayed for the heart transplant. :cry

Pretty much anything on Animal Planet. "Too Cute" Yep, I'll watch that. "It's me or the dog" Guilty. "Planet's funniest animals" Sign me up.

Full metal jousting...all those history channel shows that have nothing to do with history.

 

[GINO]

Smallville, when it was on.

 

[Monster Dave]

Totally scripted shows like Storage Wars, Pawn Stars, American Pickers, Swamp People, Operation Repo, etc... rope me in all the time and each time I say to myself, "why did I just watch that??".

Once great channels like History and A&E have really gone down hill in recent years.



Movies like Terminator Salvation I want to be good soooo bad, and I watch them over and over hoping I'll find some redeeming quality but never do.

SW ep II and ep III, soooo bad but I want them to be good

2 Broke Girls. I have no idea why I keep watching this show.

:lol


I almost posted a reply and then got your joke!!

 

[IndyBlues]

There are two big reasons to watch Two Broke Girls, lol.

Chillerama on Netflix streaming was extremely bad, but I couldn't stop watching. That film is about as schlocky as you can get.

[Qrest Fourstar]
