    DH and I love the show baggage on GSN.  It often feels like we are the only 2 people who watch this show.

    It got me thinking about other great, not so popular shows that are out there that I might be missing.

    What are your hidden TV gems?

    I feel like no one watches Cold Case but I am obsessed with it. It's so...just interesting.

    And confession: FI and I totally used to watch GSN all the time! But now we don't have cable upstairs and all the good stuff is on late at night! We'd watch Family Feud, Card Sharks, Deal or No Deal...lol.

    AmeliaBedelia: and @panterapeach: HIGHER!  LOWER!  Hahahaha.  We LOVE GSN.  Family Feud is our favorite.

    Hmmm, we watch a lot of HBO/Showtime shoes.  The one that we always tune into now is Shameless.  I know it's popular, but it seems as if everyone we know doesn't know what the hell it is.  It'd be cool to talk about it with people.

    But yeah, GSN is definitely our shit.

    DANCE MOMS! & WIFE SWAP! I find both suprisingly addictive. Let me catch a marathon, and I won't leave the couch for hours.

    @mwitter80:  Yessss, another Shameless fan.  FI's reaction to the last episode was: "Fiona is turning into a real whore these days, huh?"  Hahaha.  I was like "Where have you been?!"

    I am a Downton Abbey fan but I guess it has taken off so its not so under watched any more.

    On Netflix my husband and I watch " Borgia: Faith and Fear" which is the french/german version of showtimes : Borgias. You kinda gotta like period peices, but its really graphic and raw and interesting. If you have netflix and like that stuff Id reccomend it to anyone ;)

    Game of Thrones!  Where are my Westerosi??!  I just started the book
    Dance with Dragons too, and I've only got one friend to rant and rave with!

    (FYI - Game of Thrones is a HBO series that started last year and is based on the book series A Song of Ice & Fire by George R.R. Martin.  Both are seriously addicting.  The books are incomprable.  I've never read anything like them.)

    Supernatural! I have work when it's on now, so i'm a good season behind, but I love Jensen and Jared! I've only ran into one guy who watches it too. FI likes it, but doesn't seem to really get into it. sigh! I don't always like watching it along because I can get freaked out! lol!

    I've really gotten into Grimm, but I don't know anyone that's even heard of it. Castle is another good one. Oh, Nathan Fillion. I wish they'd bring back Firefly...

    We don't have cable so I have been watching lots of shows on Netflix. The Tutors, Lie to me, Camelot, are the kind of random ones now. Anchient Aliens is always a hoot cause their lead "scientist" is certifiable.  History's Mysterys is fun too.And pretty much anything Discovery/History Channel has on netflix I watch. I have Merlin on instant watch once I finish some of these other seris. I love Cold case too!

    @Mrs.Estep:  we LOVE pawn stars.  We've also decided if we're ever in Vegas and need to pawn something (this will never happen haha) that we want to pawn to Rick, he seems the most fair (=   Everybody else, I watch wife swap too, hubs doesn't so much.  Another show we watch that I question if other people do is swamp people.

    Also addicted to Hart of Dixie, and of course, Family Guy.

    I'm here for some of you bees! I love watching Cold Case (it runs LATE at night here), Chopped for hours on end, and Mr.ND will watch Storage Wars and American Pickers for a while.

    I also like to watch The Closer (love that show!) and Pretty Little Liars. No one I know watches them, b/c Closer is on late-late at night, and PLL is for pre-teen girls, but I still can't miss an episode. Haha.

    I love Southland on TNT. I don't know why. I also love Fringe, and I know that some people watch it, but I guess not enough because it's constantly on the verge of cancellation despite being my favorite show on TV right now.

    I loooove Fringe but people look at me like I'm crazy when I say "Walternate" and "Fauxlivia".

    We also seem to end up watching House Hunters a lot (why does everyone complain about paint color like it can't be easily changed?)

    another one is RuPaul's Drag Race, a lot of people don't get Logo so I think 15 people watch it but it is amaaaazing.

    DH and I just started watching Justified as well as Suits. Both are good shows.

    I also really like The Almighty Johnsons, Caprica, and Game of Thrones.

    I loved Hung and was sad when it got cancelled. 

    Rookie Blue is another favorite of mine.

    We have the pilot of Grimm recorded and are recording the pilot of Luck while we are away. Hopefully one or both will turn out to be good.

    @Floating Elephy:  I LOVE Grimm!!!!! It's SOOOO good!!!

    Okay, this is terrible, but I love 90210 (the new generation). Like seriously love it. I ordered Netflix just so I could watch all the seasons, it's quite sad. I'm obsessed.

    Anything on HGTV and recently Diners, Dives, and Drive-Thru's.  But, I would say mostly Ninja Warrior on G4.  My friend got me hooked on it and I've gotten a few of my friends and family hooked.  They have the japanese version, which is just awesome, and American Ninja Warrior.  It's amazing what those people can do.  She tried to get me into 2 Fat Girls or whatever it's called on Food Network.  It's a cooking show with 2 severly obese British women cooking but all it made me do is make me lose my appetite and want to go to the gym (I guess that's a good thing?)

    @bakerella:  I started Breaking Bad on netfilx in the US before we moved. Hopefully it'll premiere here in the UK soon. It's a great show.

    I liked Weeds too. I think we only watched the first 4 seasons though.

    I really want to watch more Dexter and Nip/Tuck as well. I got about 2 seasons in to both.
