"Junk" TV 📺


Do you watch any shows that are basically "junk" TV in that they really have no redeeming value?

I confess that I sometimes watch FailArmy on Pluto TV. Actually, I call it "stupid people tricks" since it's mostly about people doing stupid and dangerous things. Yes, I shake my head a lot, but what really gets me is when someone suffers a bad fall, crashes into something, gets hit in the face, or some such thing, and their friends break out laughing and rarely ask if they're okay. 🙄

It's interesting the crap they think people will watch. But hey, I occasionally watch stupid people tricks, so there you go.

Does Wipeout count? Because I just spent the entire weekend watching reruns of that crap, LOL! I just can't get enough of that show. 😂

You get to define it. Some people would call it mindless, but sometimes that's exactly what we need to get some relief from today's stresses. I'd say my Stupid People Tricks is mindless, but hey, it proves I'm not as stupid as some people are. 🤭😉

A show called Idiots on the Road. Lots of Russian dash cam videos of...well, idiots on the road!

I watch dash cam videos. If nothing else, they provide lessons in what not to do. A lot of them leave me wondering what the driver was thinking and where the heck were his eyes. I'm amazed at the number of crashes that could have been avoided if the driver had applied his brakes instead of just blowing his horn.
