Some other favorite shows whether its past/present include (besides what I've listed in my previous post):
Man VS Food- Holy crap, the places this guy goes to and what he shoves in his mouth is incredible. I get SO hungry watching him. But then some of his challenges all just to get a paper and your name on a wall??

And you would increase your cholesterol by 2000%? He must be getting paid well and enjoy what he does, because he likes it. But I enjoy watching that gluttony.
Ghost Adventures- this is a show on Travel Channel, and its got this guy named Zak, pretty hot looking guy. They do mix the investigating with some humor too. There was this one place they went to on a Civil War house, and he looked like he was mounting this figure of a girl who died in a root cellar, and the ghost of her mentally insane father grabbed his ass to protect the figure of her body. They have these incredible pieces of equipment that can kind of decode what the ghosts are trying to 'say' and its is some the most unusual things to watch. Whether you are a believer or not, I am addicted to this show.
101 breeds of cats and dogs on Animal Planet- Basically each week, they break down different breeds of cats and dogs. It tells you the history of where they got their origination, the pros and cons of that animal breed , and gives and interview with the people who own that type of animal.
Viva La Bam- I SO LOVE this show and miss it. He was so crazy and did anything and everything to his friends and family. I loved how they spent the night in the Mall of America, and his fat Uncle Vito, had to have subtitles when you heard him talk. I loved the Prank War episode between Bam and johnny Knoxville, another classic was where his mom couldn't complain for 24 hours and Bam and his friends put her through hell like dying her clothes red, stealing her car, and having an all night rave in the house while they were sleeping.
Law and Order:SVU- I am SO addicted to this show. I think that is the best group on the series of all Law and Orders. I miss the Criminal Intent when they had Vincent Donofrio and Chris Noth, so I only watch SVU now. Benson, Stabler, Munch, and Tutuola, those 4 are probably the coolest detectives I'd want solving any case around. You know they love their jobs, and any twist, its awesome to see them get thru the hurdles and get those scum who hurt people.
Rob & Big/Fantasy Factory- What can I say? This guy is hilarious. From the first series with him and BB, to his Fantasy Factory now, anything he does, you want to see what he does next to try to make you go "What the heck did he just do?" Like dressing up as Bobby Lite, or wanting to have John Mayer record an apology song for his mom, or swimming with sharks, building the world's largest skateboard, making his parent's home handicap-able when his mom break's her leg (my personal fave).
Bully Beatdown- I'm so glad a new season is starting in November. I think that is the greatest show. Mayhem Miller is so electric in hosting it. What a great way to dish it out. Its funny to see these 'bullies' try to think they can outdo someone who is like a 5th degree blackbelt. My fave episode was a girl who's ex boyfriend swatted at air with his arm, and he said his shoulder popped out. But yet he was trying to take down the pro, and he could do a rematch in a few months...sure. Whatever kid. I can't wait for the new season because it looks like there's a female bully, and Mayhem actually steps into the cage to do battle with one of the bullies. I'm excited.
