Oh, this is too funny. Now I have a list of movies that I could watch over and over again, can even quote them line for line cause I have them all and have watched them 100's of times, drive my family crazy. So here are the list of movies.

Forrest Gump (my all time favorite)
Steel Magnolias
Terms of Endearment
Driving Ms. Daisy
The Bridges of Madison County
Urban Cowboy
Officer and a Gentleman
Trains, Planes and Automobiles
Home Alone I and II

Okay, I'm with you on the reruns of 90210. I used to love that show and watched it every week along with Melrose Place.

The Waltons (my children sit and stare at me like I'm nuts when this is on and always ask where their TV is)

Little House on the Prairie (another show that wrinkles my kids faces up)

The Golden Girls (watch them twice in the evening and twice at night)

The Newlywed Game (the hair and outfits of the contestants is hilarious)

I Love Lucy

The Carol Burnett Show (every show made me laugh out loud)

My favorite cartoon of all time is the Flintstones, although we don't get cartoon network, so I don't get to watch that. Vonda

another urban cowboy junkie here.

i never saw the movie until about 2 years ago, it was on amc (american movie classics) and they seemed to replay that movie about 3 times a month. the first time i saw it, i missed the beginning, so the next time it was on i made a point of watching it from the start. since then, i'll watch it whenever it's on, even if i only have time to watch a short part of it. what really makes me laugh is how disfunctional the 2 main characters are, i mean they meet at a bar, get married right away, there's physical violence, then adultery, but in the end they walk away together. or should i say drive away in their truck and... how romantic... the 'sissy' license plate goes back up in the rear window.

as for tv shows, i think baywatch is so cheesy, but i love watching it. no one i know can appreciate the beauty that is baywatch, so i only watch it when i'm home alone.

right now, i'm horribly addicted to paradise hotel. it is such an awful show, but i can't stop watching.

Friends and Frasier - my all time favorites.
I also love The Bachelor and Meet My Folks.
Whenever I have the chance - Oprah.
As for movies, Dirty Dancing sets my record with 35 viewings. I know, I'm ashamed to admit it, but heck, Patrick Swayze IS the all time best looking Texan I've ever come across!!! LOL

This is a hard one. A fun one but a hard one. As of late, I would have to say that Big Brother, Survivor and Cupid. And I know that they are stupid shows. In the past, I too loved Little House on the Prarie and the Waltons.
I cannot think of any movies......boring huh.

I think I have all of you beat for cheesy TV shows. How's this?

Charles in Charge...I know, super geeky!
Saved by the Bell
I'm fascinated by the Osbournes. They're so sick it's funny

I also love the Dick van Dyke show...and strangely Diagnosis Murder, which also stars Dick van Dyke.

and when the Sci-Fi channel runs their Twilight Zone marathons, you can't tear me away. I'll deprive myself of sleep to watch the Twilight Zone.

and lastly, does anyone remember that show Beyond Belief? They had little segments where you were supposed to guess if they were fact or fiction. I loved that show, but almost always guessed wrong.

I always watch Speed if it is on, as well as Under Siege ( I know what is going to happen, but I still watch it!!)

Diagnosis Murder is on some afternoons in the UK, alternating with Quincy or Columbo-I only get to watch them if I am off sick!!

I love LHOTP and the Waltons (blame my Mum for that one!!) and I have to admit to watching Fame Academy this time around (never watched it before but caught one of the contestants singing and was blown away by her voice and now just have to keep watching to see if she wins!!) I will confirm that I have NEVER phoned in to vote though!!!
