jarn Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Since there are lots of Brits on this forum. At risk of losing the esteem of the community, I love TOWIE (The Only Way Is Essex). It's addictive. The accents, the stupidity (oh my are they stupid). It's HILARIOUS. Of course, being Canadian, it's not on TV over here...we heard about it and downloaded it, and that's how we watch it. Are there any other TOWIE-like British shows I could be wasting my brain cells on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarn Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Aww! Oh, I don't think people from Essex are stupid...just people on that show! I will check out the other suggestions. Most of the other British TV we watch is of higher caliber, but I do love trashy tv sometimes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjk Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 i have never ever watched tv shows with stupid people in them, it drives me nuts i think people like that need to be sterilized so they cannot breed. But then i walked in while my daughter was watching here comes honey boo boo and it hooked me instantly. i still think they should be sterilized but i can see why people watch it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarn Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 The Valleys downloaded faster than Made in Chelsea. We're almost done the first episode - as DH said, 'It makes me miss the class of Jersey Shore'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarn Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Episode 1 of Made in Chelsea down - we're almost through the first season of The Valleys, and find it fairly horrifying, but hey, I'll still probably watch it. The people on Made in Chelsea, aside from one depressing conversation about how Dickens wrote Winnie the Pooh, appear to be better educated than those on TOWIE. It's a bit too soon to generalize, of course, but first impressions and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
