Confusing the Nielsen Profile

My two favorite shows are House and Lost, but here is a list of shows that I enjoy that you might not guess.

1. Pimp My Ride – I love this show. My favorite part is the first 15 minutes where the crappy vehicle is shown and the outrageous plan is announced. If I could change my cell phone ring to the theme…
   
2. Survivorman – In each episode, some dude named Les survives in a different remote part of the world and films his adventures.
   
3. Wind Tunnel with Dave Despain – My Sunday night staple. Dave covers all forms of racing, and has a lot of interesting guests.
   
4. Barrett-Jackson auctions – I have no idea how classic and rare cars are valued, so I find this fascinating, mostly because I have no idea what is happening.
   
5. Are You Being Served? – 1970's English comedy at its finest
   
6. Top Gear – more British comedy this time disguised as a car show. My favorite episodes are 1) when Jeremy Clarkson drives the length of England and back on one tank of gas using fuel saving techniques & 2) when Richard and James spend the day in a SMART car.
   
7. Everybody Hates Chris – I have missed a lot of this season but I find Chris Rock very funny.
   
8. Match Game – The 70's game show with Richard Dawson, Brett Sommers, and Charles Nelson Riley. It's like having a dysfunctional dinner party without the clean up.
   
9. neat – It's a Canadian show that is a half hour version of Clean Sweep, except the show host Helen does not muster much sympathy for pack rat people. Every time I watch it, I radically clean some area of my house. Dangerous for getting dressed but good for Goodwill.
   
10. Mythbusters – fascinating, humorous, and one of the best shows on television.
    

I am not sure that my list was as revealing as when I heard that Anderson Cooper winds down to My Super Sweet 16 but hopefully you found it entertaining. Be sure to leave a comment if you have a show I need to check out!
