Here are the ten shows that every guy will claim to hate when surrounded by a bunch of dicks but secretly enjoys watching either alone or with a girl.
Gilmore Girls - I mean, their just like us! Emotions, gossip and fast talking, who could for anything more? Ok, really, Lauren Graham is hot, and the show actually has interesting dialogue and good one-liners.
The Hills - The dialogue is terrible. Their lives, storylines and jobs are as fake as Heidi Montage’s breasts and personality. Spencer is the default Douchebag of the Week. But the girls are hot and we can’t help but laugh (on the inside, of course) at the cattiness as our ladyfriends get worked up about the poor fashion and life decisions of LC, Audrina, Whitney and Lo.
Award Shows - One of the very few times that you are actually allowed to stare at cleavage for 3 hours in front of your girlfriend. Add funny hosts and the possibility of A-listers tripping on live TV and this can be a fun night.
Project Runway -Fierce! Yep, I caught every episode of last season. Who doesnt like seeing gay dudes, at least one emo dude and a bunch of annoying chicks duke it out? Plus you’ve got at least two guaranteed appearances by Heidi Klum per episode and more tattoos than Miami Ink.
America’s Next Top Model - “What? That skinny bitch just beat the girl with big tits.” This visible anger makes your girlfriend want to sleep with you more because you think the “fat” one is hotter
Dancing With The Stars - Jerry Rice, Emmit Smith, Floyd Mayweather, Jerry Springer, Adam Carolla….that sounds manly enough. Plus if you let your girlfriend get just a hint of an idea that you might be willing to take ballroom dancing lessons with her you will get ultra-laid that night.
The Girls Next Door - This one is kind of a no brainer. Three ridiculously hot girls and the 82 year old man that is banging all three. I am always hoping that a boob will slip by the E! censors but those assholes run a tight ship. This would be the single greatest show on television if it was on HBO.
Olympic Trials - I may not have the patriotism to stop myself from fleeing to Canada if the Army called, but I sure as hell want to beat the shit out of China/Uzbekistan/and Sweden in the gold medal count. Besides it’s one of the few times you can watch generally underage girls in ridiculous small/tight outfits and not be called a pervert.
America’s Best Dance Crew - I will talk some shit when the lady friend puts this on but I have to admit the kids on this show have some pretty kick ass moves. Throw in Mario Lopez and Lil Mama’s sequined hats and I can suffer through it. Sidenote: If you pay attention Lil Mama never actually judges anybody despite the fact that it’s her job.
Sex And The City - Being able to throw out some Sex and the City references during casual conversation will always score you brownie points with the ladies. Plus it’s on HBO which means there is a 73% you will see some boobie in any given episode.

I dont know dude, most of those shows are definitely gay as hell. I’ll watch an award show but thats about it.

Um, dude as a female even I dont watch those shows, except for project runway. I’d have serious questions for the boyfriend who did watch those shows, secretly or not…..just like I had questions for the ex who accidentally killed his computer by putting in an old Nsync disc, because he just “had” to listen to them that night……I mean really both situations call for some serious WTF’s…..That same ex watched the show “Charmed”, come to think of it…..could have saved myself a lot of hassle if I had just called him out of the closet within the first 6 months.

I’ll admit it, I watched 90210 and Melrose Place back in the day for the hot chicks that were on there. I mean come on. Who could pass on Tiffany Amber Theissen, Courtney Thorne Smith and Kathleen Robinson on the same night of the week?

WRONG… I have been forced to watch most of these shows at some point by my girlfriend
1. Gilmore Girls - hotnesss of the mom << utter terribleness of contrived dialogue.
2. The Hills - You actually get stupider just by being in the same room as a commercial advertisement for the show.
3. Award Shows - if you want to watch celebrities fall down just you tube it and save yourself 3 hours of your life.
4. Project Runway - I can make ugly clothes that make super skinny models look terrible too.
5. America’s Next Top Model - Tyra is a sociopath… We shouldn’t feed that kind of behavior with electronic approval
6. Dancing with the Stars - only equals good iff being a guy = being a 40+ woman
7. Girls Next Door - It is watchable and filled with half naked chicks…. but no dude really likes that show. Its all the parts of Playboy I don’t care about. I don’t need to know how it’s made as long as there is the same end result
8. Olympic Trials - That DOES make you a pervert
9. America’s Best Dance Crew - Scripted (awfully)
10. Sex in the City - It’s 2008…. it’s ok … you are gay though

I think a better title would be, “Top Ten T.V. shows Mitch Martin secretly loves” Never would I watch them alone and the only way I would enjoy watching them with my lady-friend is if she was giving me a B.J. (except #7 of course)
