What TV shows/movies are like car wrecks that you can't look away from?
 

I haven't seen one in ages, but a long time ago some TV station used to show the old "Our Gang" comedies. From a modern perspective, they're horrific: bad, hammy child actors, no plots, lots of racist stuff, etc. Yet somehow I could not avert my eyes. I don't know why.

What other shows or movies are really, really bad, but for some reason (perhaps their very badness), you can't not watch them?

Every movie about a rag tag group of kids that form a sports team. Or basically any kid/sport movie.

Sandlot
Little Giants
Bad News Bears (all of them)
Mighty Ducks (all of them)

Sometimes late at night I'll watch one of those televangelist shows for a while. It's like looking into another world, with all of the audience members crying and waving their arms and stuff.

Hrmmm the Osbornes, and Anna Nicole Smith's show, and The Simple Life

For the wife, it's ANY damned reality show. ANY. She can't get enough of that crap.

Elimidate, Blind Date and Jerry Springer.

That Jessica Simpson show. Her breasts may have something to do with it, however.

Tremors. Kevin Bacon is truly at his best in that epic film.

You are allowed a free pass for that one.

Early Batman two-parter shown BTB. Gotta watch the next half! The diatribe was horrendous, gadgets were incredible, but man, who couldn't NOT watch the Riddler, the Joker, Catwoman, and Batgirl in action!

Is Elimidate the show where they've got the guys in a bus or trailer or something, and then the woman gets a few minutes to pick out one to date?

I saw about five minutes of that show once (whatever it was). These four or five guys are in the trailer talking about their various strategies for their two minutes to impress this girl, and then they called the first guy out. He leaves the trailer, walks over to the girl, and before he can say anything more than 'hi', she says "No", and they lead the poor stunned guy away. Harsh. Very harsh.

Elimidate is the one where one guy goes on a date with 4 girls simultaneously (or the reverse, one gal with 4 guys). The 4 girls compete with each other for the guys attention usually attacking each other verbally and/ or phsyically while the guy generally tries to make out with as many as possible and figure out if there is a chance for a threesome. Those who won't fight or make out are "eliminated".

Jerry Lewis Telethon.

I don't think they perform anymore, but I used to be mesmerized by Steve Lawrence and Edie Gorme. I'd watch whatever talk show or variety show they were on. They just oozed showbiz insincerity.

The Stooges, of course.................
