Out of all the ones listed, I watch Family Guy. I love that show. The personality description is somewhat accurate. I was hoping Dexter would be included. That's the one show I can't live without.

Dexter? I've found that I really gravitate towards people who also like this show and the side of someone that watches end enjoys Jersey Shore or similar shows annoy me.

I can't stand those housewife shows. A friend of mine loves all of them and will occasionally get me to watch with her. Their so rude to each other! Seriously, who associates with people who treat them like that? I cringe.

Where is Dexter? It's the only TV show I actually really really got into.

I am an avid lover of The Office, Mad Men, and Glee. I also often watch Real Housewives and Family Guy...can't some people just appreciate good (and various types of) ty?! How can I be all those characteristics, some of which are contradictory?

this is really interesting; for the most part I agree with all of these assessments, although, like I said, I don't think people can be pinned with one characteristic. what's wierd is that you featured 6 shows that I don't watch, most of which I really hate. however, while I can see the validity of all the descriptions, I don't like these shows for very different reasons that indicated. for example, I can't stand "Real Housewives"-type shows because they show classless people acting like idiots, which indoctrinates many people (whether they realize it or not) to think that innappropriate behavior is okay. it's just really fascinating the things that one watches says about them...
