(in before WWE)
So we all have guilty pleasures or things that we like but can admit that they're not very good. My number one 'bad show but I really enjoy' is actually this cartoon from the late 2000's called Huntik; I love the globe trotting elements to it and how they use mythology & folklore for the monsters but geez can it get formulaic, the villains aren't exactly the most threatening and the voice acting is pretty hokey. Still though, I don't mind the kinda bad elements because I genuinely think that the elements that I like really stand up.

Orphan Black. Fantastic premise picked apart by the fact you can feel them making it up as they go along with no clear end-goal at the outset. It has bright-spots where you think it's gonna hit season 1 level peaks again, but the rotating wheel of big bads and reliance on shock-outs/big reveals kinda undermine the whole thing. It's almost Russo-level of "why bother investing if everyone's due to rip off the mask any second?"

Total Divas.
Look, I know it's trash and not exactly "reality" TV, but I just can't stop watching. Something about being able to turn off my brain for an hour.

The Ranch. It is so stupid, yet it it nails at least 3 jokes per episode. It is like it is batting .250, however, everything it hits is a home run.

There's somebody about watching Nikki freak over something and Cena is standing there like "whatever, who gives a shit"... or vice versa.

Jersey Shore. Some of the personalities got really annoying, really quick but others were great. Melodramatic use of songs were cheesy as all al hell but it had its funny moments.

Saying that I like these shows is a stretch, a MAJOR stretch at that, but I remember actually watching those sitcoms, Mr. Box Office and The First Family, and thinking that they were bad, but I still kept tuning in. They were the true definition of train wrecks.

It makes me wanna be best friends with Bryan and Rusev, as well. The latter is just awesome.

Before I left for Korea? Jerry Springer and Maury. Yes, they're dumb and most likely fake. But there's entertainment in that fakeness.

House of Cards is good, but not great. It verges into the ham fisted too often (scene in the church comes to mind)

Z Nation.
I like it way better than TWD right now and I like how they embrace the ott, schlocky, b-movie style, but if someone was like, "That's a TERRIBLE show!" I'd completely understand.
Conversely - GoT. When people tell me they love that show, I get why. I seriously 100% the appeal of that show, but I've tried to get into a few times and I find it to be completely melodramatic and tedious.

The Strain: It has its moments. But it's not very good. And Zack Goodweather is one of the worst characters I've seen on a TV show.

Game of Thrones. The writing's gone completely off the rails since they ran out of material to crib from George RR Martin, but outside of a horrendous fifth season and some cringeworthy moments since, it's been a fun watch if only for the fanservice.

The Real World and The Challenge. I'm a sucker for certain reality TV shows and these two have been the mainstays for the majority of my life.

Sons of Anarchy up until season 5. Man this show was not good, but it had me hooked. Then it all went to shit.

Arrow. My God, what a shit show. I only watch it because I watch the rest of the shows set in the same universe.

Superstore... it's a good show. Something to turn your brain off and watch for 22 minutes. It's not going go get great reviews or set the world on fire. But for a half hour it's pretty good.

Honestly if I didn't think a show was very good I wouldn't be watching it.
That said I guess the Walking Dead falls under this category.
For me the show can do no wrong, but I know there are many out there that think the show jumped the Shark a long time ago. I don't agree but I guess I'm in the minority.
