Don't get me wrong, I love them (especially Honey Boo Boo), but TLC has the craziest lineup of shows. My strange addiction is kinda ridiculous, and I just watched an episode of Breaking Amish this weekend that was just plain weird. Tonight I saw a preview for Extreme Cheapskates--as the name suggests, it follows around penny-pinchers. Where do they come up with this stuff?!
-
Haha I knowwww!!! I'm watching I didn't know I was pregnant right now but I actually am super excited about "cheapskates". I'm lame...
-
They certainly aren't The Learning Channel anymore...
-
@lawbee11: The lady all excited about the asparagus chicken with 2 sides that she found in the dumpster just...couldn't be for real? I hope? And the lady peeing in a jar...Wowwy wow wow.
-
@jholler25: I also read that there's a woman that doesn't use toilet paper (um, what?) and washes her clothes while she showers in them!
-
That show sounds interesting! Gonna have to watch it
-
I spent the day watching the Breaking Amish marathon!!
-
I'm watching Long Island Medium now. In tears. I really love some of their shows lol.
-
@Leialou: I know, right? Someone posted on FB yesterday that TLC was founded in like '87 by NASA... now they show honeybooboo..
(I believe it was a political post about not letting the same thing happen to PBS, but that's besides the point!)
-
@Boogs: I do actually adore that show.
-
@JoJoGirl: Yeah every time it pulls me in.
-
i was wondering the same thing about TLC this past weekend when i saw a commercial for breaking amish.
oh my gosh the peeing in the jar. no words.
-
DH just watched a South Park episode where they dissed TLC because they don't show much learning info anymore.
-
I've been watching breaking amish, but it's so fake it's ridiculous. The cast have had DUI's, Marriages, Children out of Wedlock. There's a facebook page dedicated to pointing out all the fake stuff.
-
@Leialou: @JoJoGirl: I swear I remember watching a show where they did brain surgery when TLC first went on the air. It traumatized the heck out of me because I was in kindergarten (and I wanted my Disney Channel back), but it was so much more educational than...Honey Boo Boo!
-
I used to love TLC and was obsessed with Trading Spaces and What Not to Wear. But now I never watch TLC because all their shows seem so trashy :T
-
@spaniellove: YES!! They had a whole series where they showed surgeries - I was obsessed with them in high school. Totally unedited, I saw a knee replacement, c-section, and some facial resconstruction surgery on a toddler. Yeah the last one was my last rodeo....
-
@sweetchic: omg trading spaces! I forgot about that show!
what not to wear is still on during the middle of the day!I think TLC has kind of turned into ...well, people-watching, for lack of better word. HAHA. It's all series about things that are like a train wreck...you don't want to watch but can't look away!
