Don't be (too) ashamed. What's the slop you're getting into this week? Games, movies, tv shows, etc.

I'll go first I suppose. I'm watching Burn Notice. I'm on season 3 episode 3. Some of the dialogue is so painful I'm embarrassed to watch it but then I power thru it and finally get to a high quality action scene. Former spy works w former girlfriend, his mom, and a fair weather friend to solve some problems in sunny Florida. It's completely believable and socially redeeming.

So let's hear it.

Agreed. I have cozy memories of watching it over summer break on the USA network, along with White Collar (I barely remember this one but it’s probably copaganda) and Psych.

White Collar is absolutely copaganda and also I don't remotely want Neal, I just want his hats. And maybe his apartment.

The costume dept must have been the biggest part of that show's budget

Same. Psych was a campy favorite of mine.

Looking back, all of the "characters wanted" shows were copaganda. Every single one.
