what’s the most embarrassing show you nevertheless like? for me, it’s the considerable shame I feel about enjoying Big Mouth

Grand Designs is not about buildings it’s about watching marriages fail

The show fell off when it became clear most people where making something to put on Airbnb not some delusional fantasy by a guy with three used car dealerships

Grand Designs seems to have the same lesson as Bake Off: Hold back a bit and prioritize being able to finish over grandiosity.

Remember when they found out about the drinking game - no planning permission? Drink, no project manager? Drink - and put *all* of them in an episode? :)

The episode where he convinces some guys he's the literal devil? Chef kiss, amazing episode.

at the end when the dude they were helping snaps his fingers in admiration easily one of the best of the series

another favorite would be the one where Mike convinces the asshole of the week that there's a psychopath out to kill them both because of a car he sold and when his brother (who's in the mob) demands to see the scene of the violent shootout they stage they rig it to make it look like he's gone crazy

I hate when it gets lumped in with Suits and White Collar and the other USA shows. Those shows are stupid. Burn notice is righteously stupid.
Avatar
to be fair I also really enjoy White Collar but Burn Notice is the best of them
Avatar
Yeah I mean they all have their charms. I hate suits as a show but the wardrobes are phenomenal

All of it. All of it so good

I always loved that Fiona, an internationally known terrorist, can hold a garage door from a charge by ~10 guys, fire scores of rounds, and not hit a thing.

Bruce Campbell makes anything terrible automatically better. Even Bubba Hotel (god I can't believe I just admitted to watching that movie).

I object to the implication the show is embarrassing. Obscure, sure!

I think you misunderstood, you're supposed to choose a bad show not a good one
Avatar
my enjoyment of burn notice can be strictly understood as a tribute to the a-team anyhow: the amazing race

The show where Bruce Campbell plays an alcoholic lothario? NO SHAME WHATSOEVER

I would love for TV to get back to an age where Characters are Welcome again

My family’s rule for Burn Notice is that you have to make fun of Anwar’s attempts at an accept and Donovan’s attempt at facial reactions, but as long as you do that we’re allowed to have a blast watching it.

Burn Notice is TV excellence, top 1% of television shows easily, and not only because they actually wrote an ending for it instead of letting it get 1) terrible or 2) abruptly canceled, as is the fate of most shows
Avatar
however, I am a simple deer and my two favorite TV genres are Sword Fight and Car Crash, Burn Notice placed firmly in the latter category. my god they blew up so many cars

Nothing embarrassing about that show. It's a lot of fun.
